Where 'faith' is the belief in something:
-The universe was randomly created along with everything else to serve no purpose but to exist.
-God created us and the universe created for his glory and purpose so we could worship him and be with him forever.

James 1:3-Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Believing in God is harder
Believing a lie is easier than trusting and believing the truth.

The universe was randomly created along with everything else to serve no purpose but to exist. Takes more faith, there's less evidence.
Unless your going to specify which God, then #2 takes more faith.

"-God created us and the universe created for his glory and purpose so we could worship him and be with him forever."
Takes more Faith in Belife because there is SO much Science that stop this from being a belife and guide SO many people away. Its really sad, and it takes more faith to belive in something you cannot 100% prove than something you can (mostly) 100% prove.
I Belive God created us. And that we should worship Him forever and ever and be with Him for eternity

False dilemma. No scientist claims the universe was "randomly" created. Sure, randomness plays a role, but natural laws apply a selective filter. For example, gravity causes things to clump together, which causes pressure, which can cause nuclear fusion, which causes heat, which provides a source of energy, which enables the temporary reversal of entropy, etc.
Oh, and I think belief in the God of the Bible would require a far greater leap of faith.

In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth.

The random theory if the greatest faith anyone could ever wish to believe I mean think about this take apart a simple device like maybe a radioput all the pieces in a bucket and turn the bucket, and even if you were to spin it for 65million yearsconstantly over that time it would never ever become a radio even with all new parts, and even then the parts would have to be masde too!

The universe randomly created is more logical and believable, but the God one takes a lot more faith to believe because you cant reall explain why logically

It doesn't take faith (Conditioning) to believe in evolution. All it takes is looking at the evidance that we have scientificly.
What takes conditioning is believing in a spooky God that poof here you are! There is absolutely no proof that this ever occured in anything plant, animal or human let alone that everything came about as some big poof of God!
Try following the evidance and not religious BS!

Both beliefs require alot of faith. The idea of creation by a deity requires faith because there is no accepted physical evidence to support it, only feeling and belief. The idea of random creation requires faith because it involves breaking free of the traditional idea that there is a God, and risk becoming uninvolved with friends and family over this one difference.

The second one, because society is heavily in favor of the first one. I personally tend to integrate the two, where God created the first things and the mechanisms by which they change and evolve, and let them be.
