Yes, I do. I also believe that He manifests Himself in many ways to many people, and many cultures. I believe that He is Allah to the Muslims, Great Spirit to the Native Americans, Yahweh, El - Shaddai and Jehovah to the Jews and others ... and God to the Universe.
And I believe that to some, He is She ... but not so much today as thousands of years ago.

Yes. It is more logical to believe that. When you believe that, you are believing that God was in the beginning (John 1:1).
If you do not believe in creation, there are many problems with that. The big bang theory. Where did the matter come from in the beginning. You have to have more faith to believe something out of nothing than you would to accept the fact that God was in the beginning. If the big bang theory had something to disperse (giving the fact that there can be something from nothing which is very doubtful) an explosion dispersed matter to perfect placement with perfect order. That means that i can get all the supplies of a house put them in a pile and light a stick of dynamite and WOW a perfect house. Because when you look at a simple cell, it is more complex than the mechanics of a watch.
I find it a lot easier to believe that God was in the beginning and he created the world with precise order. He created the earth in a mature state with animals and plants of their kind.

God, yes. Adam and Eve, no. They are a creation myth. Every culture on earth has a creation myth to explain the beginning of time. If God created but one, why then, are there thousands of explanations? Wouldn't everyone have the same story?

YES! I am a believer in the One True God who created man and woman. After mankind fell into sin in the Garden of Eden He sent His son, Jesus to redeem us so that we could be reconciled to God! Praise the the Lord God Almighty! What an awesome God! Jesus is Lord!

Yes. Of course I do as a Catholic. However, I think that Adam and Eve were not real.

Absolutely yes
Believing evolution is like believing an explosion in a paper factory could produce an unabridged dictionary. Believing evolution takes real faith. I have a better understanding of people who say aliens started all this than people who say it was a big bang and evolution. That really takes faith!!

Never did, even when I was very young and raised in Christian environment. It never made sense, because it wasn't logical. But because I was young, I didn't push back. I just felt uneasy around people who talked about believing, and of course in church.

YES! The Almighty YHVH created this world very good. Once man sinned, he could no longer meet the requirements of YHVH. Because of His great love for man, He sent His son the Savior. The Savior's name means YHVH is my Savior!--YAHOSHUA! The only way one can have his sins taken care of is to invite the Savior in to carry them. If a person chooses to remain attached to their sins, they will be consumed in the cleansing fire the Almighty will send to cleanse this world so He can make it new! How could the Almighty be more generous?

I believe God created the ingredients for life and the Universe. Therefore He created ALL that has transpired.

Simply put, yes.
I am open to a variety of explanations of much of what is in the Creation story, but believe that God is the Creator and that man is the creation and that we are sinful beings in need of forgiveness.
