I am curious as to the reason(s) why those who believe in God believe as they do. No judgement here; I am wrestling with personal questions of my own.
Thank you for your honest input.

Every person is given the knowledge of God when they are born. If you don't believe, you are simply surpressing that knowledge. Why do you think people are capable of goodness even though they are not Christian? God gives them the ability to know right from wrong.

Because there is such an exact precision to life!
1. On earth oxygen comprises 21% of the atmosphere. If oxygen were 25% fires would erupt spontaneously; if it were 15 percent human beings would suffocate.
2. If the atmosphere were less transparent, not enough solar radiation would reach the eath's surface. If it were more transparent we would be bombarded with far too much solar radiation down here.
3. If the moon-earth gravitational interaction were greater than it currently is, tidal effects on the oceans, atmosphere, and rotational period woudl be too severe. If it were less, orbital changes would cause climatic instabilities. In either event life on earth would be impossible.
4. If the Cabon Dioxide Level were higher than it is now, a runaway greenhouse effect would develop (we'd all burn up). If that level were lower than it is now, plants would not be able to maintain efficient photosynthesis (we'd all suffocate)
5. The gravitational pull coudln't be any different for life to exist here on earth. If the gravitational force were altered by 0.0000000000000000000000000000... percent our sun would not exist, and therefore, neither would we.
There are 122 of these points. There is such an exact precision to the balance of life. I don't believe this happened without God.

Because I've been in and survived a diagnosed vegetative Coma a miracle in itself!
Ask anyone that has been in coma if they believe in God or probe them about what they experienced and saw when they were in coma and they will likely abreact becoming highly emotionally charged.
When I was in Coma I was a vegetable, zero brain activity, which would suggest I had no means of imagining or dreaming that which I experienced which would suggest some other reality, perhaps God?????

My own experience.
I sought and found God...felt God's presence, you could say.
Since then...there has been no doubt God exists.
But I don't follow any denomination or religion.

Simply because of all that He has done for me and my family...all of us really, I mean He did send His son to die for us...but really, it is a heart thing...I feel Him when I need Him and I know He cares...He has healed the sick and saved the lost..there are so many reasons to love God and no reason to hate Him...

I believe because I see a lot of beauty and complexity in this world, and simply can't believe that it was randomly made.

Look around you, even in our determination that something is ugly there is it's own spectacular beauty, how could I not believe?

Because we're here. He created us. Because we have the earth and animals and everything around us. Without him none of the things we see now would be here. WE wouldn't even be here!!

Because Science did not make the sun.
