Yes. All you need to do is look at our DNA. Our DNA has patterns, are you really going to tell me that happened by chance? 4 nucleotides arranged in specific ways and multiple times through a single DNA strand to get totally different people. I'd love to see the Big Bang explain that one. Here's the bottom line, God does exist. Even if a Big Bang did happen, God made it happen. I believe there is animal evolution based on the biblical words in Genesis of "Let the earth bring forth." That being said, there is a completely different process by which God created humans.
- There is a God
- There is NO human evolution
- There IS animal evolution
- If the Big Bang did happen, God started it
- When reading the Bible, at least we have the Holy Spirit to clarify what God meant or to clarify if there is an error in the translation. There's no such fail-safe in science other than peer-review. If all the peers are wrong and the writer is also wrong, the truth won't be present in the report.

According to biblical scripture man was formed from dust, and only when God breathed into his nostril did he come to life.
But when Adam sinned death reigned, so God sent His Son Christ Jesus to die and take our sins upon Him. With his resurrection, subsequent ascension, anyone who believes in Him, He cleanses and send His Holy Spirit, so that once again we can walk in newness of life. It is the life giving spirit

Okay, if that is what you believe, fine. But this is what I will say:
- if God created everything like so, something must have made god. Look at god's ability to think and to make things. That shows intelligent design then doesn't it?
-You're wrong here: It's not possible for there to be no human evolution but animal evolution because HUMANS ARE ANIMALS
-then what started god?
-same for the bible. You have to take it on faith that it is actually a non-corupt person writing without any errors at all init which is pretty...um...unlikely. LIke in every work there is.

God is undefinable. But one thing He is is the Creator. Most humans believe in God in some form or another. Most scientists today believe in God because their research tells them that there has to be a God. Think about it, it would be pretty hard to get here from nothing, wouldn't it? Some Atheists say there is no God and that we evolved from apes, but science has proven that one another life form evolves from another, the life form being evolved from ceases to exist. Obviously this can't be true because apes and monkeys are everywhere. Many Atheists have not even read the Bible and they assumed there is no God just because they don't want to accept a higher being than them. Famous scientists in history have stated they believe in God. Some of those scientists are Einstein, Darwin, and Stephen Hawking. If that isn't enough, look into fulfilled prophecies. Hundreds of prophecies have come true. And they were written thousands of years ago. The rest will occur sometime in the future. Or look at the 3 Secrets of Fatima. They were written by scholars hundreds of years ago. 2 out of those 3 prophecies have come true. The 1st one was about a vision of hell. The 2nd one predicted a Second World War happening and Russia being one of the main players. Or you can look at miracle healings. Many people have been healed and doctors have no explanation why. Yet, if that is not enough, you can look at our earth. The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth's size and corresponding gravity holds a thin layer of mostly nitrogen and oxygen gases, only extending about 50 miles above the Earth's surface. If Earth were smaller, an atmosphere would be impossible, like the planet Mercury. If Earth were larger, its atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter. Earth is the only known planet equipped with an atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to sustain plant, animal and human life.
The Earth is located the right distance from the sun. Consider the temperature swings we encounter, roughly -30 degrees to +120 degrees. If the Earth were any further away from the sun, we would all freeze. Any closer and we would burn up. Even a fractional variance in the Earth's position to the sun would make life on Earth impossible. The Earth remains this perfect distance from the sun while it rotates around the sun at a speed of nearly 67,000 mph. It is also rotating on its axis, allowing the entire surface of the Earth to be properly warmed and cooled every day.
And our moon is the perfect size and distance from the Earth for its gravitational pull. The moon creates important ocean tides and movement so ocean waters do not stagnate, and yet our massive oceans are restrained from spilling over across the continents.
There are simply too many things that are evidence that a God exists.

Absolutes have no place in the debate on the existence of God. From a Hindu perspective, the most revered gurus and swamis have stressed that nothing, not even God, should be believed in unless one has evidence and proof in support of it. Swami Vivekananda, in Raja Yoga, outlines meditative practices by which one can attain self-actualization and truly see the face of God. All of these practices can be performed by any faith system...there is no unique Hindu God to whom these practices must be directed...perhaps you may want to look into it. Essentially...if you really look inward, you may find evidence that a higher power does exist.
Secondly, I don't see why evolution and God always have to be at each other's heels. Why can't both exist? Why couldn't God, in his master plan, implemented evolution...the way we program our antivirus programs to download new updates and scan our computers without our constant intervention? I'm not trying to be make light of the matter, but people need to lighten up. We need to believe in what we want, allow others to seek the truths for themselves, and realize that there is no black and white, only shades of gray.

If God would have went thru all the trouble to think up our DNA sequence, don't you think he'd bother to be involved in our lives a little more....
Why would God micromanage down to the level of a DNA strand, but doesn't care when you are getting raped in a dark alley??? Maybe he's just a bully?

Got news for you, DNA, if you ever took the time to understand it does not show god or proof of god.
Since you claim god exists then you should have no problem providing evidence that science can study and make sure it truly is evidence. Seeing as how you claim DNA is, and it in no way is evidence. You might want to look up what the meaning of the word "evidence".

If religion is wrong...no one ever admits it...
People just come up with reasons why its not wrong...they start interpreting the Bible and Koran and Torah in new, more poetic ways. You can interpret the bible to say anything, if you don't know how to read.
The bible is a history book, that includes parables, hyperbole, and metaphors so as to explain the law...but people have turned it into a magical book.
The Bible cannot be wrong because the Bible says it can't be wrong....

Yes there is a god and you can see that if you just open your eyes and look at the amazing beauty that he has created for us. He will always be with us even with those who might not believe in him. I hope all of you guys who believe there is no God realize that God is real and alive in everyone's life.

Oh deary me.
Yes, DNA is remarkable. When you have an entire planet and billions of years of time, remarkable and unlikely things can happen by chance. This is to be expected.
Evolution is a proven fact. You need to read some real science. Religion is just man-made fantasy.

Hi Emily
Why not leave out the bible and just communicate directly with the holy spirit.
You don't really need the middle man you know.
Love and blessings Don
