1. The Bible says God created the earth and all beings.
2. My purpose, therefore, is to glorify God.
3. Life is an incredible gift from God, and we need to use it wisely.
4. I choose to glorify God in all situations.
5. God is good.
6. God does not make bad things happen.
7. God is in control of the future, therefore I have peace.
8. Death does not frighten me; after death I will be God's presence.
9. God is in control of the past, as well as the present and future.
10. My God is not in a box.
Okay, I just answered all your questions. Now, how about you answer the questions according to what you believe. Do you have answers? If you don't have answers to these questions (and some of them are very important) than I feel very sad for you. You must never have peace about anything.

1. I do understand how everything came about, when god created the creation, he also didn’t forget to let them know about it, God created time, space and matter and also created me in it and had also given the faculty to recognize him
2. God has made know the purpose of creating man, to recognize him (god) and to see which one is best in deeds
3. I do understand how life works, it works according to how god designed it to work, similarly to how man designs machinery unlike god, man is not all knowledge full and is created weak, humans don’t understand more then 1 % about how the brain works and science is all about hypothesis and trial and error, but is coming closer to truth, science itself shows the way to God
4. I do understand my situation, apart from god’s design I believe I create situations and god has given me the free will, there is no compulsion from god, man is free to choose whatever way he likes best.
5. Good things happen as they are designed to happen and are a reward for good work, obviously good deeds make good things
6. Bad things happen when man does error and mistakes, if u drive drunk good things don’t happen, and there are tests created by god to test man to see which one is patient and god has already informed that he is going to test with life, money, family
sufferings do exist as a test and also exist for mans selfishness, there are so many rich countries that spend billions on weapons and only a 10% of that budget will remove the suffering for the hungry , homeless and sick around the world
7. Whatever will happen will happen according to the Gods plan (destiny) , and based on cause and effect relationship
The universe is expanding still and only god knows till where and when
8. Death is not end of life but a transformation of life, unlike non believers who panic about dying ... poof and you are gone like a battery
9. Past is again according to design and based on how one spends the time with ones freewill
10. I accept I am not all knowledgefull and still trying to understand god's vast creation, I know my limits and accept that there is a creator and billions of people can't be wrong, my conviction is so strong and I know its called faith a god given faith
11. If believers and god bother you more than what an ordinary atheist thinks , you should check that you don’t suffer from scrupulosity a form of OCD

There's great wisdom in acknowleding that you DON'T know the answer to everything. I don't know how to change the transmission in my car, but my mechanic does... so I defer to him/her for their superior knowledge on that subject. So I'm putting any advanced automotive work into my "Mechanic Box". By that reasoning, I have lots of "boxes" (accounting, legal services, quantum physics, etc.).
If you have faith in another, you don't hesitate to offer your complete and total trust in their knowledge and abilities. If you lack that faith, you will always search for answers that are beyond your understanding.
That is why people put things in the "God Box"... because they know that certain things are beyond their comprehension, but take comfort in knowing that God knows the answers.

a good idea.....
By da way ; BELIEVING = equals NOT

I can answer all of those questions too. I do understand why we are here, where we came from, and where we are going. It is the ignorant and foolish one that says "There is no God" in his heart.

I agree with LSG. Well put! Faith is just that...faith. No we don't have the answers to everything, but we don't have to. Whether you choose to believe is up to you, but I assure you, we are not ignorant. Grace & Peace to all.
