Okay this question is a religous question. Anyone who is Christain, is supossed to be nice right? Well than how come so many judge aethiests, and other religions,? God didn't do that did he? And aetheists are only thinking logically right? I mean, is there really an almighty one who can create an entire civilization in seven days? And if he knows the future, how come he couldn't see Adam and Eve eating from the tree that causes us to sin? I don't believe human s evolved from apes, and I don't know really, but I mean, other than the bible, is there actuall proof God exists? And how, just how do you know that someone didn't make the bible up? There is only one religion that is true...And if you follow the wrong one...What happens?

And the other thing is...I am a believer in God. I just wanted to know. I don't know what is going to happen when I die, but to let everyone know, I am a christian, it was only a question to see what other people thought, not because I don't believe in him and I wanted to know why people loved him so much

Wonderful question.
Yes many do judge and many do look for problems within others sects. I see atheists do this as well. There are zealots on both sides, I agree more so within religion. I think a person's heart is in bondage and doesn't have a clear understanding of God when they do these things. Understanding is what is needed. We must consider people who don't know any better are that way for a reason and when they know better and do these actions they are than in vain which I feel is worse. However I think through experience there is influence and when people fully recognize this they won't attack eachother and also cure their own faults in this area.
I think as far as proof of god it only rests in the person. As you grow and think it starts to open up to you.
As far as the bible or any doctrine being made up, I feel there is a sort of divine inspiration and people have been and will be inspired by a divine source. I think art demonstrates this as well as most doctrines. As far as finding the right path, that is only up to you. The more you feel around in the dark so to speak you will find light and that will influence you forever. Who,what how and when is left to you. Reading the main texts is a great source. Pondering what they say will bring new concept and understanding each time as you grow.

O.K., first of all, that is a bunch of questions wrapped up into one big question so we got to break it down. First, what it sounds like to me is you confuse faith with knowledge. You do not need faith if you know something. If you knew God existed, you wouldn't need faith in him. Second, to answer the question about hypocrites, those are the people that bothered Jesus the most when he was on earth. The people that professed to know God and practiced the opposite of what he teached. Just think, even one of the twelve apostles chose to deny Christ three times, another completely betrayed him. Third, days is a relative term meaning season or period of time. It wasn't 7 "24 hour" periods, it was a lot longer. Fourth, God knows all and sees all. He has a foreordained knowledge of everything that is, was, and will be. However, Adam and Eve eating from the tree was not necessarily a bad thing, it allowed them to become free thinking people that can make choices like you and me. Hence is why Satan said ". . .ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" (Gen. 3:5). Is being like God a bad thing? Lastly, about atheists, your guess is as good as mine. Is it logical to conclude that we evolved from some sub human thing? It seems more like a theory to me, NOT logic.

There's a difference between logical thought and reasoning. Christians are bound by scripture to spread the word of God and His teachings. Quantum physics allows for the existence of God (It doesn't say that He does exists, only that He can exist, so people can't say with absolute certainty that He doesn't exist). If you follow the wrong religion, then it would depend on which is the right religion as to what would happen to you in that event.

Who else could do that in 7 days - other than God? Yes, he would have known Adam and Eve would eat the fruit - but the point is he gave man freewill. You need to study the scriptures and pray for enlightment.

Well, first god knew that Adam and Eve would sin, and I think you should read the whole Bible or if you have read it, you should read it all over again, cause it tell's you everything in it, by the way you should BELIEVE! Then you will understand it alittle more!

Romans 1:20: " For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable"
As for following the wrong religion, God himself told us what would happen to false religion and those who practie it...
Revelation 18:4 & 5: "And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind."

the question about christians being nice.....dude my mom, who i might add was religious...practiced what she preached. often said that a lot of people...that went ot church every time the doors were open were not going to heaven, just being seen in church doesn't mean that you will go to heaven. sad but true. next, christian religion is based on faith, Darwin theory is a theory. that does not mean it's fact....duh. it's taught as a theory, look it up.** theory..** gosh people hear this and go nuts...personally i have a lot of questions with the bible, and i can have all the questions, i just need to have faith.....

He knew Adam and Eve would eat the fruit, but they'd been dancing around in that garden for far too long and it was time for them to grow up and gain some wisdom.

Because we hate evil. You never heard of tough love?
Psa 97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
God knows the future of mankind, not individual choices.
Adam and Eve
They ate (assimilated or consumed knowledge) from the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Satan).
That's why God said;
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
We all must eat (assimilate or consume knowledge) of the tree of life (Jesus Christ), to live for ever.
Evidence or proof of God is all around us, it's every where.
It's called life and creation.
Undeniable evidence and proof.

You had better go back and rethink who God is. Perhaps you should read the Bible and find out what he really was about.
