What if I came and showed you a beautiful portrait, and told you that it just came to be as beautiful as it is. Would you believe me that the portrait over time just "became" as beautiful as it is, that it just came to be. Probably not, its not very likely that it just came to be, "someone" had to paint it. Now take earth, what if someone came to you and said that it just came to be. If a portrait could not have just evolved to as beautiful as it is just like that, how could something as beautiful as earth just been there?

At a certain college, there was a professor with a reputation for being
tough on Christians. At the first class every semester, he asked if anyone
was a Christian and proceeded to degrade them and to mock their statement of
faith. One semester, he asked the question and a young man raised his hand
when asked if anyone was a Christian.
The professor asked, "Did God make everything, young man?"
He replied, "Yes sir He did!"
The professor responded, "If God made everything, then He made evil."
The student didn't have a response and the professor was happy to have once
again proved the Christian faith to be a myth.
Then another man raised his hand and asked, "May I ask you something, sir?"
"Yes, you may," responded the professor.
The young man stood up and said "Sir, is there such thing as cold?"
"Of course there is, what kind of question is that? Haven't you ever been
cold?"
The young man replied, "Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist.
What we consider to be cold, is really an absence of heat. Absolute zero is
when there is absolutely no heat, but cold does not really exist. We have
only created that term to describe how we feel when heat is not there."
The young man continued, "Sir, is there such a thing as dark?"
Once again, the professor responded "Of course there is."
And once again, the student replied "Actually, sir, darkness does not exist.
Darkness is really only the absence of light. Darkness is only a term
man developed to describe what happens when there is no light present."
Finally, the young man asked, "Sir, is there such thing as evil?"
The professor responded, "Of course. We have rapes, and murders and
violence everywhere in the world, those things are evil."
The student replied, "Actually, sir, evil does not exist. Evil is
simply the absence of God. Evil is a term man developed to describe the
absence of God. God did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love,
which exist as virtues like heat or light. Evil is simply the state
where God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light."
The professor had nothing to say............

When you think about God you should think about the being of ABSOULTE PERFECTION. A being that is not like anything. He is not in any form that our brain can realize now, He is not and never was a human. He is The Greatest, and The Most Wise and Merciful. He is the Light of the Heavens and Earth. If you are able to realize this Great Being, then you are starting to believe in Him.
Those non-believers are still inprisoned in their 5 sences. They image God in a certain shape, maybe like an old man or a strong human, and here comes the weakness in their faith and hence rejecting the idea of God or assuming it to be a fictious idea.
Since God is Most Wise He has created logic for humans, I don't think that the concept of logic has ever been explained through materialistic theories. The question always remains... Why is our logic and way of thinking the way it is? Why are we -humans- born with these built-in morals of good and evil, why do we implicitly know that any action should have a causer, and that it is imposible, for example, for a highly complicated computer to suddenly pop up infront of you from complete nothingness, and if this popped up computer idea is a rediculous idea, then why do we accept the pop up of the whole universe from complete nothingness without a creator?!
Throughout centeries, humans did not have the idea of athiesm! They knew deep inside that there must be a creator of some kind. They worshipped stars, animals, sculptures, and even certain human in an attempt to discover and full fill their human instinct. Why do we figtht this basic instinct ?! Now after the discovery and advancement of scinece and technology, humans grew vain, they discovered a way of moulding their spirit into materliastic things to be able to touch with their hands and to see with their eyes because they were and still prisoned in their 5 sences trying to "please" them. But ironacly, they ignored the fact that even the basic elements of scinece is not to been seen or touched. Electrons have never and will nevere be seen, and are not touched, gravity and all kinds of energy are also the same way. They failed to realize that their sences can fool them more easily through their night dreams when they live an entire scene where they eat, drink, see, and even practive love in an illusive scenario!
In the end, I would like you to "see" deep inside yourself and to seek the truth from your heart as our Prophet once said. Don't be decepted by your vain, we humans are nothing in this vast continually expanding universe that orbits inevatabily around its Creator!

I do believe in God and you may see me as superstitious, but my life did not fall into place until I got to where I am now. Before, I was totally engulfed in chaos. Now that I have gained more knowledge about God's Kingdom and know what the future holds for me I am so at peace and have begun taking ministry classes. There is so much accurate knowledge in the Bible about things happening in today's time that was prophesied in 1 BCE and later that it boggles the mind.
I even challenged it against the creation theory and the lack of adaptation of other animals as was supposed to be evidenced with man, shot that theory down.
I now understand that Judgement Day is not about judging our past deeds in life to decide who goes to heaven or hell, so the knowledge of what really happens during judgment day makes me look forward to it.
So, we can indeed agree to disagree. Enjoy!

I would like there to be a God as is described in the bible, so I find myself praying from time to time. However, deep down I am very skeptical because I have not seen any evidence of anything that tells me there is a God looking out for us.
Many people claim to witness miracles and such, but I have not seen any. I believe in Science because it always proves its point. I do not have proof of God, although the idea is a nice one.

Forget Science for a sec and think about this concept,
Miracles.
Premature Babies for example very rarely survive. A person with a 2% survival rate, survived. The doctors couldn't do anything else. But God did.
Think about this:
Do you believe in angels?
Do you think everyone has a guardian angel?
Why do you think those who are suicidal attempt suicide, but then desperatley want to live? They are on the brink of death, then their angel comes down and blesses them with the gift of life, a second chance.
God created us. He is so passionate about his humans. He created desceased humans into angels, to protect others.
Now do you believe in God?

I kind of classify the "existence of God" as superstition too...like most supernatural forces..
There is no evidence to show whether God exists or not so I am just agnostic (I don't know & I don't care).
