well, arent atheists living a lie? Atheism is a religion, its not a science. Those darwin charts, made up. The only reason people believe it is they think they are too smart for God. They don't want to admit to a superior. Evolution cannot explain much. There is no effect without a cause. thats a fact. What triggered the big bang? And cell mutation. Cells mutate, yes, and animals can also adapt.the dna may change, but not the structure. One species cannot evolve into a new species. Physiologically impossible. Evolution is based just as much on faith as Christianity. Who are you? Tell me. To know you exist, is proof you didn't evolve. Animals are similar to a complex comuter program. They have instincts, they do not kow right from wrong. The only reasondogs learn to be good is because they think "If I do this, I will get kicked." they dont feel guilt or shame. The begginning of life has the same probability as winning the superball 100,000,000 times in a row. A great scientist, i forget her name, said that if there isa chance of 1/500000 it is virtually impossible. Look around you and tell me this was an accident. I could keepargueing about the mechanics of evolution, but that is pointless, you just ignore it and call us all psychos. Many a scientist has set out to prove we evolved, and done the opposite no one listens. It is all denial against having a creator. it boils down to be conceited, you think your too smart to have a creator. Do any other animals in the universe wonder who they are or where they came from?

No but you are for not knowing the truth about our savor Jesus Christ and God! How can you not believe in him? Who made the Earth if there was no higher power? Yet you ask how God was created! God always was and always will be! Weather you like it or not Judgment day will come and you will have to kneel before him and if you are not saved you will be sentenced to Hell forever! You laugh now but the last laugh will be Gods laughter with his saved children :) God loves everyone and will forgive you and anyone can go to Heaven if your saved! People try to understand everything like God yet they will never be able to know everything. Gods way to powerful for a human to know his knowledge! Pray to him and always remember hes there, he wont give you everything you want but he will give you such a wonderful life if you follow him and do as he wishes for his design in life. People want evidence but God he wants Faith and that's what he asks of us! How can someone not believe? He is so great! People say if there was a real God then there wouldn't be bad things happening to the world! You cant say that, that's going against Gods own judgment! God gave us the choice to choose Heaven or Hell, that's it no more choices! Its God or the Devil! Bad things will happen to good people and there will be really tough times, but you must put your faith to the Lord, I know with all my heart he will be with you and help you through it! All the signs in the Bible are happening... The Devil is coming and if you are not for God then you are for the Devil and for Hell! People need to really get on there knees and pray to our father, he will help you and you will know when your saved :) its so important that you find him! I really hope you do and join us one day in Heaven! we are not living a lie you are. Only through God will you win!

Yes. Yes they are. Sadly, they actually believe the lie. I kinda wish there was a god I could pray to that would smack them up side the head with some reason and logic but... that'd be kinda paradoxical.

Here we go.......
If you are a believer in evolution (as I am....firmly) than god(s) have existed since we began to be able to think abstractly.
"What's that bright, hot thing up there?". "That's the sun god man!".
Ever since we started asking questions, the ones we can't answer, the answer is always god. "Why did it not rain and our crops not grow?", "Why do bad things happen to good people?".
God is our answer for questions unanswered. God is a crutch. He is someone to pray to, to hope to, to wish for things better or to blame when they go wrong.
Over 1000's of years, many gods (such as the sun god) have been done away with due to science. We now know that the sun is a burning ball of gas (or whatever) so the idea that it is the sun 'god' is no longer commonly accepted.
Yet, there's still those unasnwered questions "Where did we come from?" and "Why are we here".....and so on. This, is where god still exsists.
And because there are so many different gods all over the world, and with all of these gods have different religions and different prophets. All of these have originated seperatly, at different times, and all claim to be the 'true'....uh...truth, it lends itself to suggest that the human mind has created this 'answer' for our selves.
Because of the above, I am not affilated with any major religion. But because of the above above......I still somewhat 'believe' that there is a god. Face it, when you have that horrible feeling, something horrible is going to happen (get in trouble, friends/family dying) or any other disaster, you give a little prayer. Even if it's just "Oh god, please PLEASE don't do this!".
I (and I believe that everyone) needs this 'crutch'. And regardless of my belief that god(s) have been created out of our minds for the above reasons, I (as a human) need someone to pray to/hope for and someone to blame.
But when I really think about this world/universe and how small we are, how far we are from other galaxies and the sheer size/distance/quantity of galaxies and just how amazing 'reality' is, I can't help but think "How can there NOT be a god".
Adding this after the fact, in regards to Christians.....while I would absolutly LOVE to actually find god, I could NEVER become christian. Simply the fact that there are sooo many different factions of christianity (protastant, catholic, methodist ect...) proves itself the condradictions of the bible in itself and history as we scientifically know it.
I could NEVER believe that the earth is only 6000 years old! I could never believe that Noah's ark actually happened!
...lets just think about that one (just one) for a while.....firstly, no scientific evidence of a global flood. We DO know that the mediterranian sea did flood, close to the time that Noah's Ark was said to have happened, and this would have been most of the known world at that time....but it is still not a global flood. And people acutally believe that a bunch of people (without flying...hell, even with flying) went to Canada (currently known as) and grabbed two squirrels, went to Mexico and grabbed two fire ants, went to Antartica and grabbed two polar bears, went to Australia and grabbed two kanga........what the hell? Then put them ALL on a big wooden ship. Come on now.
Now, some "Christians" believe that many of these stories (Noah's Ark, Adam and Eve {won't even start on that one}) were just that, stories. But the CHURCH itself will never admit this. These actually happened. Noah's ark is a historical fact. *laughs*.
The church also killed people who said the earth revolved around the sun.
One last thing, about evolution. Adam and eve (sorry, I started) was a product of the time in which the bible was written. How could we (as a species) imagine our creation any other way? Without the science we use today, evolution couldn't even be conceived and would seem ludicrous and likely an insult.
Because I cannot call myself a true athiest, isn't just a likely that god is responsible for evolution?
Again, adding some more. Sorry about raving about the bible. I have one last thing to say about god(s).
One of the commonly accepted criteria for a group of people to be considered a civilization is the theory of an afterlife.
Think about dying. If you don't believe in heaven or hell or any variation of those, where are you? What do you see when you try to imagine death, not existing? Do you see black? You can't see black, because you don't exist. We cannot physically imagine not existing and so we must invent or believe in some other form of life after death. Another reason for god to exist.

The way I look at it God, no matter from what religion, is something we have created to support ourselves. So in essence believing in a god is the same thing as saying to yourself,"I can ace the finals next week." Both have that supporting/ be more determined factor. Everything else depends upon what religion you believe in.

Living a lie would be to ignore the Creator who made this universe and us in it. If you believe we are just a freak of evolutionary chance, buy a lottery ticket--the odds are better.

There are seven basic proofs God exists. Properly, they belong in a separate book all by themselves, but I will cover them briefly here.
(1) That there is a great CREATION is obvious. The very fact of the existence of THINGS; the universe, the solar system, the earth and all myriad forms of life upon it, demands a CREATOR!
(2) The existence of great, immutable, powerful LAWS (and I speak of the "laws" governing the physical universe; the laws of science and chemistry; laws governing the action of water in its three states; the cleavage and fracturing properties of minerals; gravity, inertia, isostasy, etc., etc.). The existence of these great laws demands a lawgiver!
(3) The intricacy of complex design; whether the feathers on the wing of a bird; the eye of a fly; the breathing apparatus of a dolphin; billions of intricately-designed snowflakes; your own muscular, skeletal, digestive and circulatory systems-etc., etc., requires a great DESIGNER!
(4) LIFE exists. Life in myriad forms. You and I both know that life only comes from preexisting life! This is called the "law of biogenesis." Life demands a great LIFE GIVER!
(5) Life only comes from preexisting life of the same kind! Thus, there is procreation, and the sustaining of life on our planet; the constant recycling of falling trees, rotting vegetation; the bacteria which break it down to become food for the insects which are food for dozens of other creatures, which are in turn food for larger creatures, which are in turn food for man; the cyclical character of our symbiotic environment which, like a gigantic machine was once "wound up," and is gradually running down, requires a sustaining force. Inherent within this proof are the laws governing the "conservation" of energy" and the laws of thermodynamics. It is obvious our universe has a great sustaining force-a GREAT SUSTAINER!
(6) Fulfilled prophecies, of which there are dozens, with dozens more yet to be fulfilled, constitute a great proof of Almighty God. Even simple high school or beginning college-level Bible handbooks such as Halley's, or the Angus Bible Handbook contain fascinating proofs from the spade of archeologists corroborating the prophecies of men who foretold the collapse of great empires and the emergence of others centuries and centuries beyond their own lifetime. Now, we are able to look back at such men as Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and others, and see what they foretold actually HAPPENED exactly as they foretold it!
Many of the biblical prophecies are in process of being fulfilled. The serious student of biblical archeology knows that it is axiomatic that, wherever archeology reveals information about ancient civilizations, it always corroborates the biblical record, never refutes it!
(7) The final proof-one which dyed-in-the-wool disbelievers will doubtlessly scoff at-is answered prayer! Of course. God does not answer the prayers of skeptics and disbelievers. However, those individuals who have experienced the answer to PRAYER; those who have been healed of their sicknesses and diseases, who have actually seen miracles performed, are no longer doubting, but believing. Answered prayer is definitely a proof that there is a God who can hear. and answer!

Hehehe, aren't you?
What is truth if God isn't? I like your question, it made me giggle. If you have ever wondered why (most) Christians are generally happy? It's because we know and have something non-believers don't... it's kind of like a great seceret that only a few know about, only anyone can hear it!
