Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

I believe in God, because there is too much beauty that I see. Admist the destruction...I take inner peace there, like while I am fishing, looking at the beautiful things he has created. What I believe to be created by a higher power. I dont think it could just happen. Although I feel it will be destroyed, because others do not look upon it as the same. It will not be destroyed by our god...though, but through us. My only wish is that I am not upon this earth, and I am returned to the dirt when it happens, so I do not have to shed the tears for our children.

Yes because God makes all the sense in the world

No I do not. Why? Because there is NO proof. No christians, saying you have felt his presence is not proof, because that is not a provable fact, it is mere heresay.
And saying that you see his evidence around us everyday, is simply looking through rose colored glasses and letting your mind interprut it the way you want it to be. If I want to believe in god, then I will allow my mind to believe that everyday occurences are his doing.
Just because I attribute every small coincedince to god doesn't change it from opinion and wishful thinking into fact.

There is no credible evidence to support God belief.
Those who believe in Gods do so as a result of their own imagination rather than evidence.

I am forced to believe in God whether I like it or not. I cannot logically contradict a polemic I heard by a man by the name of Greg Bahnsen on a tape called "The Great Debate" (I highly recommend it. The transcript is available online)
He used an argument which he called the transcendental argument for the existance of God. That, in a nutshell, is God exists because of the impossibility of the contrary. Without God, there is no basis for any metaphysical laws.
Laws of physics, mathematics, and morality cannot be explained apart from a God who set the laws in motion at the beginning of time.
Hope that helps.
Respek.

I See Thy Glory, Lord
From the smallest flower to the tallest tree,
I see Thy glory,Lord.
From the morning sun to the stars at night,
I see Thy glory,Lord.
From the winter snows to Spring's-delight,
Thy name has been adored.
From the cotton fields to the western plains
I see Thy glory, Lord.
From the changing tides to the summer rains,
Thy power can't be ignored.
From a mother's prayer to a baby's cry,
I see they Glory,Lord.
From the ocean depths to the mountains high,
Thy majesty's explored.
I see Thy glory, Lord,wherever I go-
Thy power can't be ignored.
From heaven above to the earth below,
I see Thy glory,Lord!

The heavens declare the glory
of God; and the firmament
showeth His handiwork.
Ps. 19:1
Yes, I do believe in God. Because God Is An Awsome God!

No. Christians are nice people, but they don't have to believe every word in the bible. The bible is just a book to live by. I haven't read the bible, but some of the rules christians have are unreasonable. For example, you aren't allowed to get divorced because your husband beats you and your kids. You can't be forced to believe in god either if that's your excuse. If you don't want believe in god then don't. I choose not to because there is tons of fake evidence that god does exist (for example there are tears coming out of jesus statues that is just corn oil) or that my brother was homeless and was brought to a hospital because he was about to die from hunger. Was he christain? No. He did bad "sins" and god still saved him? Wow... He stole cars, he did drugs, he stole jewelry, he ran with gangs, and he was saved by god? No. He was saved by his famly. And I think it's weird that christians can watch people get killed brutally, but then get mad for saying a curse word. I can continue about child-molesting preists that sin but I think I expained enough why I don't believe in god.

I believe in God mainly because I can't see how there can't be some kind of higher power. If mass can not be created or destroyed, then how is it possible for us to just "poof" show up. What about the human soul? Why are we well....us. Science would have to explain the answers to these questions for me to not believe in God.

Yes, I most certainly do. I have seen His work in my life and others lives. I have felt Him in horrible times in my life. His word has spoken to me when noone else would. He has never left my side even though I have pushed Him away. God is very much ALIVE!!!!!
