go to a website such as http://www.answersingenesis.org
That is one excellent site that has 5000 articles that show that God DOES exist (there isn't another possible explanation for the existence of man, the world, and the universe) . .
as well as many articles that demonstrate that the Bible is God's word and CAN be trusted (from the very first verse) about all it speaks of, the creation, man, the universe, God, etc.
Their site and their articles show that the Bible doesn't disagree with science. It's Darwinism which disagrees with science.
There's nothing wrong with faith, but what Christians have is faith based on FACT! Not blind faith (like everyone else has).
Once you know that there is rock solid proof that God is who He claims to be and that His word is perfect and infallible, then faith won't be so much a troubling thing (this will greatly strengthen your faith).
Another excellent site is http://www.crev.info (but it's maybe more technical than a lot of people are ready for, but this guy dissects all the latest headlines in the creation/evolution debate and he shows how flimsy the "proof" for Darwinism is. [looks like his site is down at the moment, but try it tomorrow]
One more thing. Read the Bible regularly, and pray regularly and obey what God says.
"for faith comes by hearing, but hearing by the Word of God"

I think you should strengthen your faith this way:
Read up a little on the advancements of science and see how good humans are trying to answer the mysteries of the universe and solve diseases, etc.
Visit a few charities and see how people can behave in a selfless way and try to imrpove the life of their fellow man.
Talk to a kid and get a sense of his wonder about the things around him and his great potential for the future.
Spend time with an animal and sense how that animal is every much a part of the world as you are and see how much our common DNA means that we have in common.
Log onto NASA's webpage and check out some of the pictures of the absolute beauty of the universe.
These things should strengthen your faith that our world is greater than God. With any luck, you'll never look back.
Good luck on your spiritual journey.

If you want strong faith in God, then
Do Not read your bible ~ this is a serious no no as the bible is the most compelling reason to realize there is no such thing as a god. It describes an egomaniac that murders and calls it a "good god." Clearly it is evidence there is no god.
Do not study science ~ All the scientific evidence shows the Universe is different than god claims he made it. Clearly it is evidence there is no god.
Do not study history ~ real history shows up Biblical history as so much fiction. It also reminds us what evils were done in the name of God. Clearly it is evidence there is no god.
Just sit in your room and mutter "thank you jesus" but never once think about how killing jesus was God doing premeditated murder so guilty people could go unpunished.

Hi
What u r going thru is pretty common for young believers. Satan is very powerful and he keeps trying to divert us from the Lord. The world we live in today is very tricky.. it has many lures for us to make us passive in our faith.
The way to strengthen ur faith is to read and meditate on the word of God and pray and ask God for help and strength, and another very important point is fellowship. Start going to a church there u can find older believers who can guide u and share their thoughts with u and encourage u. Read acts 2:42 to know how the christians of early church strengthened themselves in the fight against the satan.
And another important point is that u should meditate on the word of God and find out the true doctrines. There are many false preachers today who are pretty famous too. I would suggest u read the Life application bible. I found it very helpful as a young believer. I shall pray for u.
Take care.

The Bible says each is given a measure of faith. And some are given the gift of faith; which is very powerful. We have to pray and ask God to strengthen our faith. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you in every way possible and to remove any doubt. Also, search the Bible for scriptures on faith. The Bible is the true and living Word of God and the better you know His Word, the better you can know Him. Be blessed.

Faith is not supposed to be easy. The true challenge is to maintain a belief in something you can not see, hear, or touch. When ever I start to question my faith, I look up toward the stars and see how big and grand the universe is. It is so intricate and complicated I know I am not alone.
When your faith is lacking instead of looking within yourself, look outward to the world and the heavens.
Faith is the key to spirituality, and to me I see it as the key to heaven. Maintaining faith will be a challenge everyday, but don't give up. It will be worth it in the end.

Maybe your looking for human logic and understanding in everything but that isn't the way it is with God all the time.Man's ways, man's understanding, isn't always the same as Gods. I don't understand how a little seed can grow into a big tree...but it does.Read the Bible, especially the New Testament and see what Jesus Himself and others said about these things.

What you are going through is normal, human's logical mind uses senses to 'feel' what is there and what isn't. Science has done its part to explain and clarify lots of superstition and myth on lots of things.
Faith, of young children are pure as there are blind faith. For adults, or maturing people, they'd wonder a lot more. Keep reading the holy book.

Ask God to strengthen your faith, and to remove the "doubts" you've been having with Him. He'll provide. And for the most part, continue in His word on a daily basis.

Beleive in yourself that you have done some sins and some good deeds. Try to beleive that God is an assesser who takes your actions into consideration. The instant which you begin to disbeleive God are those times when you find hardships.Just beleive that God is getting you punished for some sins.When you beleive in God, that is when you are happy think that He is giving appreciation for the good deeds you have done...Bye
