The more scientists study the earth, the more they realize that it is uniquely designed for human habitation. It is just the right distance from the sun to get the proper amount of light and heat. Once a year it moves around the sun, with just the right angle of tilt, making seasons possible in many parts of the earth. The earth also rotates on its own axis every 24 hours, providing regular periods of light and darkness. It has an atmosphere with just the right mixture of gases so we can breathe and be protected from damaging radiation from space. It also has the vital water and soil needed to grow food.
Without all those factors, and others, working together, life would be impossible. Was all of that an accident? Science News says: “It seems as if such particular and precise conditions could hardly have arisen at random.” No, they could not. They involved purposeful design by a superb Designer.
If you went into a fine house and found that it was generously stocked with food, that it had an excellent heating and air-conditioning system, and that it had good plumbing to supply water, what would you conclude? That it all just came about by itself? No, you would surely conclude that an intelligent person designed and made it with great care. The earth was also designed and made with great care in order to provide what its inhabitants need, and it is much more complex and well-supplied than any house.
Also, consider the great number of things that add delight to living. Look at the vast variety of beautifully colored flowers with their pleasant scents that humans enjoy. Then there is the great variety of foods so delicious to our taste. There are forests, mountains, lakes, and other creations pleasant to look at. Too, what of beautiful sunsets that enhance our enjoyment of life? And in the animal realm, are we not delighted by the playful antics and lovable nature of puppies, kittens, and other animal young? So the earth provides many delightful surprises not absolutely needed to sustain life. These show that the earth was designed with loving care, with humans in mind, so that we would not just exist but would enjoy life.
Therefore, the reasonable conclusion is to acknowledge the Giver of all these things, as did the Bible writer who said of Jehovah God: “You yourself have made the heavens and the earth.” For what purpose? He gives the answer by describing God as “the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited.”—Isaiah 37:16; 45:18.

You can prove that air is two oxygen atoms mixed with some nitrogen atoms yet you deny the science of it and call it God instead? You know that trees and stars and planets are made up of various molecules and atoms, yet you call them God instead. The Sun is closer to Mercury and farther from Pluto, why is earth so special to receive treatment? Also, when the sun gets old, it will grow cold and cause the earth to freeze, why would God kill us off like that? Not all animals and creatures do something to help crops and plants. Think off all the extinct species in the world. Obviously they weren't THAT important if everyone else's life goes on without them.
Maybe I would believe in God more, if I didn't have to read these posts were believers spell and use grammar incorrectly. Examples "exsist" should be "exist" "cant" should be "can't" "creation" should be "creations" "doesnt" should be "doesn't" "me" in your second to last sentence should be "mean" and so on...

Back to this silly argument again.
1. Air can be measured, God cannot
2. Science can explain trees, stars, planets, etc. without finding God.
3. If Earth was closer to the Sun we'd get by just fine as water buffers the temperature.
4. Animals evolved to fill whichever niche happened to be open in that habitat, that is why there are so many different animals with so many different functions.
5. I deny "God" because "God" denies the beauty
6. Not just because I cannot see it I deny it. I deny it because it doesn't exist.
7. There are no effects of what "God" has done.

I can not see air for its transparency to the spectrum of light, yet I can see water for its diffraction of light, I can see a brick on the table I know this is not god.
i can not see you - so are you God by this logic?
Why is that when I look at the stars, i realize that i am gazing into a prior eternity of light from galaxies before the dawn of man, the animal kingdom that i know -
And what was reason all these animals made? and why do we find so many fossils at so many different stratifications buried in layers that have been uplifted by the shift earth of continental drift
Why do we have earthquakes - only god not the hardened layers of rock flowing over a core of the mantle could do that.
Why do I deny god is a female, Why do I deny god is a comedian, a criminal on the run, why why why?
Why have i never seen god, but yet I have seen goodness and badness - i see black and white, i do undestanding the complexity of this earth a bit more than you. Why why why.
Can God create a rock so big he can not lift, Why why why.

Take a look at the amazing universe all around you - The galaxies, stars and planets... the beauty of mountains and trees and everything that lives, grows and breathes on the Earth. No sane person believes that the great complexity of the natural universe in general and living organisms in particular could just exist fully formed with no cause and no origin.
So, how can any sane person possibly believe that all this amazing complexity is sourced in an intelligent designer who just exists fully formed with no cause and no origin? That would be completely absurd. The only possible explanation is that the universe had a natural origin, and that the order and complexity we observe in the universe has arisen over billions of years from simplicity and chaos by the action of slow, unthinking, undirected natural processes. Science, in the form of cosmology and biology, shows us that this is indeed the case.
The idea of a creator god has no explanatory value - It is intellectual laziness, a non-answer, not a solution to the question of existence but a way of avoiding the question. It should and will be consigned to history along with all our other naive superstitious beliefs.

God says that He is the author and finisher of our faith. In other words, our faith in God is given to us by God, and He draws us closer to Himself over time, carrying us from faith to faith. He also says that He does not give that gift of faith to everyone.
It is a very good thing to try to win people to Christ. But, Honey, you must make better arguments. Sometimes you only get one chance to plant that seed of salvation in someone, and then you have polarized them against God forever. That does not mean that your words are condemning someone to hell; God says that His word does not go out and come back void. That means that His word will fulfill its purpose, even if it is condemning someone into hell, and He's using you to do it.
Read more and learn more. Flavius Josephus is the greatest historian this world has ever known. He is the reason we know ANYTHING about the Roman Empire. He was himself a Jewish citizen who defected to Rome and became a Roman soldier. There isn't a single historian on this planet that argues anything Josephus says, and Josephus confirms the existence and ressurection of Christ, and flat out calls Him the Messiah.
The Bible is so historically accurate that old and modern day archeologists use it to locate lost civilizations -- civilizations that are ONLY mentioned in the Bible and in no other chronicle at any other time in the world.
The book of Jeremiah predicts the fall of Babylon to the Medes and Persions a hundred years before it happened, and mentions Cyrus by name.
The Book of Daniel also predicts the fall of the Greek Empire under Alexander the Great hundreds of years before it happened and predicts the fall of the Second Temple BEFORE THERE WAS A SECOND TEMPLE. These are just two examples, but there are literally thousands more.
Those are some pretty compelling arguments for the existence of God. Sure, men can write stuff and call it a prophesy, but it is God who must bring it about.

Everything can be explained through science. However, with all the complexities involved with the universe, from the enormous to the smallest, I find it hard to believe it all just started via a random act. My look is something, with the power to instill the necessary ingredients to have cause and effect work as one, had to start it all in motion with the knowledge of how it would end up. Yes, science can explain it all, but I believe God put it there, and had a plan as to what would happen over time.

That's called evolution and all animals have learnt to co-exist
as for the sun and earth why there is only one planet that has been colonised by man for the time being and not many, that's because it was earth that had the best conditions for life to evolve and that was only a matter of luck btw i guess ya know that air can be tested by many ways and that we don't have to necessarily breathe it to know that it is there.lol
anyway each one has his opinion and mine is already made
btw i completely agree with sho-nuff

i could say the Christian god because it truly is perceived does no longer exist. Any faith is likely to have holes in its argument, some may argue atheism does. i do not imagine you need to enable a record from thousands of years in the past chain down your personality so i could say, do not complication about if there's a god. concentration on residing your lifelike a reliable man or woman and being satisfied. besides the very incontrovertible fact that in my opinion i could say there is no Deity sitting on a cloud contained in the sky, (even with each thing the religions of the historic Greeks look ridiculous to us now, yet they completely believed them) i does no longer say that technology is on the point the position lets teach a lack of a prevalent regulation or ability or something like that. yet I do imagine that if evidently there is a god it should not be something like what the bible says. yet i does no longer enable this get you down, there is an outstanding style of quasi stunning stuff it incredibly is tangible in the international. i could say that the bible turned right into a fashion to save human beings probability-free a lengthy time period in the past till now technology could tell them why, even with each thing it truly is a lot a lot less complicated and better useful to say "god says do not devour beef" fairly than "surely at this aspect in heritage we can't sterilise beef all precise and it really is risky to devour without added technological advances"

Be careful what conclusions you draw, you and I have very little perspective on reality.
The earth does appear to be flat from our perspective. Wrong answer!
And if there was a god only that god could know the answers to the questions you ask, are you that sure you are that god?
