I do not agree with any specific relegion, I do not follow men but I do believe in a god.
Unfortunately I do not believe in any 1 relegion, I believe all of them have the merit of spreading the belief in a god, but all of them except buddhism say they're the only right one. Buddhism doesn't define god or put limitations on god like other relegions do, but I am not a buddhist.
I can prove my faith because my faith in god is based in medical science and logic. There is documented evidence that people that believe in any god at all have slightly faster recovery rates from illnesses and can even overcome terminal disease and illnesses with prayer/meditation. A certain percentage of people that believe in a god even overcome snakebites without anti-venom, avoid death from trauma that would kill anyone else, and generally accomplish miracles.
This has been proven true of all faiths, so I know there is a god but since almost every relegion believes in seperating people of other faiths from themselves and classing them as lesser creatures, while even going so far as to declare they should be killed, I know they are wrong.
Logically my faith also takes into account that more people working together, whatever their individual beliefs, achieve much more than people that refuse to see others as equals. It is as simple as a mathematical equation:
1 plus 1 equals 2, 2 is greater than 1.
When you allow yourself to work with others and accept the different nuances of others as their individual viewpoint you are able to achieve more than when you are by yourself.
2 minus 1 equals 1, 1 is less than 2.
When you choose to take away from the total by seperating someone because they choose to call their god by a different name or choose to believe in a different set of mans rules imposed on their god, you take away from your collective abilities, such as the ability to see things from a different perspective, the ability to collectively come up with more intelligent solutions, etc.
All of this is 100% true, math is an absolute science and medical science has proven faith does actually accomplish what appears to be miracles.

Nope...not even someone who doesn't have any faith because science doesn't substantiate their beliefs either.
I'm a Christian, and I personally see confirmation of my faith in science...I don't expect my faith to be proved by science because I believe God is the father of science and can also defy it...so how can science prove it. If that makes any sense.
I don't understand why some Christians feel threatened by true science (I believe that there is a lot of 'junk science') and I get really frustrated with non-believers' assumptions that having faith in God means a person rejects science. That is just silly...especially because many tenants of science have not been proved and must be taken upon faith until they are proved.

Alot of scientific theories can not be proven by these means.
But that doesnt stop them from becoming "FACTS".
Often in science what is accepted as a fact is simply what people have agreed to. Which in 50 years becomes a joke.
Eventually religion and science will merge...
IE. the day some scientist invents (for example) a clairvoiant camera... ie to image the non physical (spiritual) dimentions/eminations of people....then it will become apparent that most religions are mainly bogus and that most politicians (ie by viewing their "auras" are sewer rats.....
IE i think you can see that the world has a vested interest in not allowing this to happen.......

funny that you expect faith to tell the future rather than science, yet put your faith in science. how can you verify a prophecy is 100% true if it is in the future? i dont think you thought this through very well at all. maybe you should delete this question, give it some thought and come back with an inquiry that makes sense. til then, best of luck to ya

Well, the Nazi's sorta has this going on, a very specific form of secular faith. Maybe Marxism could fall into that category, depending on how faithful you think history has played out to Marx's expectations.

I tend to follow the ancient beliefs. Pantheism, Old Native Spirituality...we are all related.
Every living thing is related-Organtic Chemistry, it's all made up of different forms of carbon base.
Personally, I follow the belief that everything in the universe is one. Basic science, everything is made of energy. Look up Tesla. (not the rock group)
So if God is the energy that exists in everything, as I believe, then science proves it!
And we are all connected...We are all one.
Blessed Be...

While I'm staunchly anti-fundamentalist (I think fundamentalism is the singlemost evil thing on the face of the earth), I do believe in a God. God is the universe, and the universe is God.
I take a stab at it in the first two posts of my 360.

Where did all of the matter in the universe come from? It had to have a beginning, and could it have just appeared out of nothingness?

my faith is that GOD of all power, my GOD who created heaven and earth, gives wisdom to the scientist to reveal to the world what HE has created, for HIS glory, Science is only a tool to prove that God exist and to prove that HIS wisdom can not be measured.
