Do you believe in God?

Answer 1

YES, ABSOLUTELY,,,


The theory of evolution of the Coca Cola can.

Billions of years ago, a big bang produced a large rock. As the rock cooled, sweet brown liquid formed on its surface. As time passed, aluminum formed itself into a can, a lid, and a tab. Millions of years later, red and white paint fell from the sky, and formed itself into the words "Coca Cola 12 fluid ounces."

Of course, my theory is an insult to your intellect, because you know that if the Coca Cola can is made, there must be a maker. If it is designed, there must be a designer. The alternative, that it happened by chance or accident, is to move into an intellectual free zone.


The banana-the non-believer nightmare.
Note that the banana:
1.Is shaped for human hand
2.Has non-slip surface
3.Has outward indicators of inward content:
Green-too early, Yellow-just right, Black-too late.
4.Has a tab for removal of wrapper
5.Is perforated on wrapper
6.Bio-degradable wrapper
7.Is shaped for human mouth
8.Has a point at top for ease of entry
9.Is pleasing to taste buds
10.Is curved towards the face to make eating process
easy

To say that the banana happened by accident is even more unintelligent than to say that no one designed the Coca Cola can.

TEST ONE
The person who thinks the Coca Cola can had no designer is:
___ A. Intelligent
___ B. A fool
___ C. Has an ulterior motive for denying the obvious

Did you know that the eye has 40,000,000 nerve endings, the focusing muscles move an estimated 100,000 times a day, and the retina contains 137,000,000 light sensitive cells?

Charles Darwin said,
"To suppose that the eye...could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree."

If man cannot begin to make a human eye, how could anyone in his right mind think that eyes formed by mere chance? In fact, man cannot make anything from nothing. We don't know how to do it. We can re-create, reform, develop . . . but we cannot create even one grain of sand from nothing. Yet, the eye is only a small part of the most sophisticated part of creation-the human body.



George Gallup, the famous statistician, said,
"I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone; the chance that all the functions of the individual would just happen, is a statistical monstrosity."

Albert Einstein said,
"Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe;a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of which our modest powers must feel humble."

TEST TWO
A. Do you know of any building that didn't have a builder?
___ YES ___ NO
B. Do you know of any painting that didn't have a painter?
___ YES ___ NO
C. Do you know of any car that didn't have a maker?
___ YES ___ NO

Could I convince you that I dropped 50 oranges onto the ground and they randomly fell into 10 columns and 5 rows? The logical conclusion is that someone with an intelligent mind put them there. The odds that ten oranges would fall by accident into a straight line are mind-boggling, let alone five rows of ten.

TEST THREE
A. From the atom to the universe, is there order?
___ YES ___ NO
B. Did it happen by accident?
___ YES ___ NO
C. Or, must there have been an intelligent mind?
___ YES ___ NO
D. What are the chances of 50 oranges falling by chance
into ten rows of five oranges?

The declaration "There is no God" is what is known as an absolute statement. For an absolute statement to be true, I must have absolute knowledge.

Here is another absolute statement: "There is no gold in China."

TEST FOUR
What do I need to have for that statement to be true?

A. No knowledge of China.
___ YES ___ NO
B. Partial knowledge of China.
___ YES ___ NO
C. Absolute knowledge of China.
___ YES ___ NO

"C" is the correct answer. For the statement to be true, I must know that there is no gold in China, or the statement is incorrect. To say "There is no God," and to be correct in the statement, I must be omniscient.

I must know how many hairs are upon every head, every thought of every human heart, every detail of history, every atom within every rock...nothing is hidden from my eyes...I know the intimate details of the secret love-life of the fleas on the back of the black cat of Napolean's great-grandmother. To make the absolute statement "There is no God." I must have absolute knowledge that there isn't one.

Let's say that this circle represents all the knowledge in the entire universe, and let's assume that you have an incredible 1% of all that knowledge. Is it possible, that in the knowledge you haven't yet come across, there is ample evidence to proved that God does indeed exist?

If you are reasonable, you will have to say, "Having the limited knowledge that I have at present, I believe that there is no God." In other words, you don't know if God exists, so you are not an "atheist," you are what is commonly known as an "agnostic." You are like a man who looks at a building, and doesn't know if there was a builder.

TEST FIVE
The man who sees a building and doesn't know if there was a builder is:
___ A. Intelligent
___ B. A fool
___ C. Has an ulterior motive for denying the obvious

Perhaps you have questions that hold you back from faith. First, almost every question you have about suffering humanity etc., can be adequately answered.

Second, we have faith in plenty of things we don't understand. Did you understand the mechanics of television before you turned it on? Probably not. You took a step of faith, turned it on, and after it worked, understanding how it worked wasn't that important. We accept that there are unseen television waves right in front of our eyes. We can't see them because they are invisible. For them to manifest, we need a receiver, then we can enjoy the experience of television.

God is not flesh and blood. He is an eternal Spirit-immortal and invisible. Like the television waves, He cannot be experienced until the "receiver" is switched on. Here is something you will find hard to believe: Jesus said, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him" (John 14:21).
Either that is true or it isn't. Jesus Christ says that He will manifest Himself to anyone who obeys Him. Approach the subject the same way you approached your first television set. Just take a small step of faith.

Or have you an ulterior motive? Could it be that the "non-believer" can't find God, for the same reason a thief can't find a policeman? Could it be that your love for sin is clouding your good judgment? If the Bible is true, and Jesus Christ has "abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel," then you owe it to yourself just to check it out.


Darwin's full quote: "To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree." Darwin continues, "Yet reason tells me..."

Darwin goes on to explain in the Origin of Species that he believed he could justify the idea of the eye forming through natural selection by reason. Ask yourself if it is really reasonable for an eye with 40,000,000 nerve endings, focusing muscles that move an estimated 100,000 times a day, and a retina that contains 137,000,000 light sensitive cells to form without a designer. You decide…

Answer 2

After much toying and firing I would answer yes . I often rile at the state of the world buthis is not Gods fault however you imagine him to be . Perhaps God is beyond our imaginings , we don't have any mere idea of the concept.
My question to you is could you believe in an after life I have had a few readings and the spirits of members of my family have given names names the their eider's could not have possibly known they were form a quite different generation of course and too have a repertoire of names that could be accurate would take a lot of skill research and remembering ( i don't give much away at these readings and certainly not names )if their were not a God . Why would the world be as complex and why do most things in the human body seem to be designed for our welfare could evolution be the only force in this it seems to be too Intelligent

Answer 3

Yes 100% I believe in one unique God, who is the sole Creator, the Sustainer, and the Owner of all that exists. He has no associate in His Divinity or His Attributes, and there is nothing worthy of being worshipped but Him. We believe that God has power over all things and is able to do everything. He is the Ever-Living and the Everlasting, and to Him belongs all that is in the Heavens and the Earth. He begets not, nor was He begotten and there is none comparable unto Him. He alone is God, the Almighty, and everything else is His creation. God is not in need of any of His creatures, and all His creatures depend upon him for everything they need. God is above His creation upon His Throne over the heavens in a way befitting His Majesty. His knowledge encompasses all things, both the open and the secret, as well as the public and the private. We believe that God is removed from injustice and tyranny; He alone is the Law-giver, the Judge, and the One who protects. God is in no need of a medium between Himself and humanity, nor does humanity need an intercessor to pray to God. We believe that God is the All-Seeing and the All-Hearing. God is the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful, and He alone is the One who answers prayers.

Since we know that God is Unique and the only Creator, Owner, Provider, Sustainer and Controller (of the universe), we must affirm that He alone must be singled out with all forms of worship, whether internal and external. This is the essence of True Monotheism. This was the message of all the Prophets and Messengers when they invited people to worship God Alone. Islam is built upon the main principle that we single out God alone in all forms of worship; this is the right of the Creator upon all of His Creation. So those upon true monotheism, do not believe that God has a son, or was walking upon the earth in the form of a man. True monotheism testifies that God alone is the one called upon when in need, and recognizes that He is the only one who can answer our prayers.

We call God by his proper name in Arabic, 'Allah' (pronounced Al-laah). The Arabic word 'Allah' is uniquely different from that which any other language uses for God because it carries no gender equivalent and has no plurality. It stems from the combination of two Arabic words Al (the) and Ilaah (God); hence, the Arabic word for the one true God is Allah. Arab Jews and Christians alike also use the name Allah when speaking in their native dialects. Although Muslims, Jews, and Christians differ in religious beliefs and concepts in relation to God (Allah), we all share the same word for one God, Allah.

Answer 4

I can't believe someone seriously posted the banana argument as proof of God! It's so silly as to be laughable. Kids, this is what religion does to your brain.

If God created the banana because it's so suited to eating, what about the pineapple or the coconut? Did he not create those, or was it the Devil? And interestingly, what is the creature that we think of that loves bananas? Yes folks, it's the chimpanzee, the one that creationists deny we are related to. Just madness.

And, to answer the question, no I don't believe in God. Everything we know about the universe is fully consistent with there not being a God. That being the case, I require positive evidence of God before I will believe. It would be easy to provide - just let him appear. Until then, I will not believe.

Answer 5

I have a spiritual belief in a higher force/power. And i can accept that the term/name God is given. But i struggle accepting this God as a gender. To be male/female means having a conscience and how can anyone no matter how powerful justify the attrocities and personal losses suffered throughout the world.

Answer 6

I believe He is the life force of the mind and consciousness that flows through my awareness in waking and dreams.
I believe She is the life force, the creatrix of matter and physical form, my flesh and my body.
Together as one God

Answer 7

Not the God that the Christians created, no.
But I do believe there's a higher power, a higher consciousness.
Man, this convo would be best conducted over a bottle of good red wine...

Answer 8

No, well actually....kinda. i know there is no such thing as an actual "god" but i believe "god" is in another form. in my mind, he's in an energy form that influences our lives through the magnetic field. so yes i believe in my own god, the one i created in my mind. it doesnt make much sense now but it made A LOT of sense in my mind. sorry.....

Answer 9

No and Yes...in my opinion believing in god is a way of looking at the world and yourself...and not believing in god is is another way of looking at the world.....so if you believe god exists and feel his existence then he REALLY exist..if you dont think he does then he doesn't....No one knows whole the reality so you can just make your reality and its both right and wrong...

Answer 10

I believe that there is,somewhere out there, a being that is supremely powerful and greater than anything in this world.I just wish we wouldn't define and label it.Or if we do,that we don't hate each other for having differing definitions.

Answer 11

I believe in A GOD, but my views differ from the orthodox beliefs.

My GOD is neither christian nor Muslim. My God is neither Catholic nor Protestant Male or Female.

My God is as we should be and strive to be. My God is our God.
