Do you believe in God? and why?

Question

Hello, I wound like to know your opinion:
Why do you or why don't you? believe in God?

Answer 1

Wow, I was talking with some friends from church recently about this. I also had this feeling deep inside, "what if God didnt exist?" We talked for hours, debating on facts. Our conclusion: Yes, God exists. I'll try to give you some insight on what we went over.

Ok, let's not get too complicated and just give an everyday example. Suppose you got home today, and there was this beautiful chocolate cake with icing and everything, on top of ur table. Now, we have 2 theories of where that cake came from:

1) There was an HEB truck this afternoon going by ur house, and all of a sudden, a car hit it at 70mph, and the truck rolled over violently. There were eggs, flour, all sorts of stuff in the truck, and they all got mixed up in the crash, and the truck caught on fire, and the extreme heat baked all that stuff, and as the truck continued to roll on the street, the stuff flew through ur window and miraculously landed on ur table.

2) Someone who knew how to bake a chocolate cake, went there and did it, and then put it on top of ur table for you.

Which one makes more sense? If you answered #2, good! Then God created the Earth and everything in it. If you prefer to believe in an absurd and very creative theory called "the big bang", in which somehow gases mixed up, just in the right proportion, and then everything exploded and the earth was formed ... my friend, you have a very creative mind. First of all, how were those gases there? Someone must have created it. God. Stuff doesn't just appear.

=D Doesn't that make sense? Ok, now, let's get a lil more complicated.

Scientists say that man evolved from monkeys or whatever their creative mind came up with. Well, it has been proven that over time, living beings only lose genetic material, constantly. Therefore, evolution cannot be possible. The human body is so complex, there is no way it just "evolved" from something. A project called GENOMA, just recently finished their research. Their task: make a complete mapping of the human DNA. Many countries joined forces to complete this project, each taking a body part, like arm, leg, or whatever, and finding out the DNA code for it. Germany was in charge of the human eye. At the end of the project, they said that the human eye was so complex, that there was NO WAY it could have evolved from some other animal. It's a fact. Scientists researched and wrote it down. Aren't they contradicting themselves now? Ok, I believe I made a point on this one. Mankind did not evolve. God made man in His image.

Ok, now back to the big bang stuff. The NASA has been measuring the distance from the Earth to the moon, and it's a fact that every year the moon gets further and further away from the Earth. Fact. It's been proven. It's also a mathematical equation. So, if we take that mathematical equation, and do it backwards, we come up with how long since the earth and the moon we're almost touching. The calculations say something about 10 thousand years. It can't be more than that, otherwise the moon would have been rolling around on the earth.

Also, it's possible to calculate the rate of aging of the Earth. Every year, scientists calculate the rate at which the Earth is aging. It's roughly the same. If we then backtrack how long since the Earth was relatively "new", the calculations vary from 10 to 12 thousand years. It's fact.

Also, the population of the Earth. Today, we have roughly 6.5 billion people alive. Populations, increase in a mathematical progression. In other words, there will always be more people alive today, than there are people dead. Fact. It's not possible to have more people dead than alive. Draw a sketch of a simple family tree, and you'll stumble upon the same conclusion. So, if we backtrack how long since the beggining of population, the results say somewhere between 10 to 12 thousand years.

Every fact that we can backtrace, falls upon the same range. 10 to 12 thousand years. In other words, the Earth is relatively new, not millions of years old as some scientists say.

So, why would scientists not agree with this? Why would they come up with these ridiculous theories about some big bang or whatever? The answer is simple. At the very moment that they agree that there is an all-powerful being, a God, that created everything we know, they realize all their sins. At the moment they realize their sins, they know that they'll have to eventually have a commitment and a close relationship with God. They don't want any commitments to anyone. So what's the easy way out? Make up some random theories that we evolved from monkeys and that the Earth just happens to have been created randomly by a Big Bang, that they themselves can't explain how it supposedly happened.

I sincerely hope this has opened your eyes to the truth. Thanks for reading this, and I really hope that you now accept the commitment that God wants you to have with Him. If you're already commited with God, then I hope this text has restrengthened your faith.

God Bless all of you, and have a great day.

Answer 2

I like this answer to this question

I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God

Answer 3

A Higher Power is my belief, because I cannot explain everything myself and nor have I known any person who can.

I also don't see a reason for the religious traditions and rituals that some people choose.

I have decided that there is One God and that's it....that's all I've decided on so far. If anyone convinces me to see things otherwise then I will maintain my open mind and perhaps be a Pagan or Atheist one day.

For now....One God! It's a starting point in faith....and it may also be the end point.

Answer 4

Yes, I believe in God. In fact, I know for a certainty that God is over us. My reasons are too numerous to mention here but one of them is that when I compare the story of the earth's creation as outlined in scriptures, with some of the stuff that scientists are coming up with (there was a bang and earth was created and life just sorta formed from nothing soon thereafter)... well, the list goes on and on and on. God lives.

Answer 5

I do believe in God with all my heart. I was born in a communist country & was raised without any religion or believes, as practicing any religion was prohibited.
In 2001 I was diagnosed with terminal, incurable, debilitating illness - ALS (MND) & given only 2 - 3 years of life. Most of them in the Hospice & confined to a wheelchair.
Left without any hope I started talking to God, I spent many hours meditating & praying. God answered my prayers. In 2005 I received miracolous healing, learned to walk again.
Thank God today I'm healthy, mobile & very grateful.
God bless!

Answer 6

No i don't and the reason is easy
to me its the same as if i told you that there was a purple and pink alien on the roof of your house,would you
A)believe me and call the cops/FBI who ever it is you call about aliens lol
B) go out and check i wasn't lying
C)Not react at all just laugh and carry on doing what you where doing
I would do C so just cause you tell me there is a god I'm not going to believe because no one can prove it to me i cant see it feel it or touch it and until i can its a load of bull

Answer 7

I answered this a little while ago also. Another reason I believe in God is because I don't believe in death(even b4 I knew Jesus & now He leads the Way).

Answer 8

I do, but I don't believe in organized religion. For example I don't think you should go to church every sunday to remind yourself that you're religious or pray 5 times a day to show others that you have faith in god.. Believing comes from the inside, your soul and what YOU think.

Answer 9

Yes, because there is to much that is unexplained without a God. Besides, what is a person's purpose in life without a God. We just die, and have babies until all of humanity is wiped out. After all, nothing lasts forever. But with God, our souls last forever and we forever serve a divine purpose even in heaven.

Answer 10

I believe in God because i know he is in my heart,
Because i have felt his Love and i know his peace
He has saved me from a life that was dead and going know where to a life that is full . He is my creator my prince of peace he is the king of kings he is my best friend and i love him
and in times of trouble i always no that Jesus is with me
that no matter want other people think he loves me and he loves you to
may God best you
