Explain your belief in god?

Question

Use logic. Not faith.

Lol... nice job.

Missing the entire point.

Answer 1

there is no god, thats using logic!!!!!!

Answer 2

-He's been taught to me since I could understand the concept of a higher being.
-There's *no way* I'm believing everything in the universe came out of something the size of a football. (Big Bang as taught to me at school). Besides if it did... why did that exist? Where did it come from? What a crazy universe. That's almost as absurd as saying someone made it!
-I need someone to ask for help when there's no one around!
-It's comfortable believing there's somewhere I'm going when I die.

Of course, the same could be said about any Gods or Goddesses of any religion... I choose to believe in the immaculate conception and Jesus who helped the sick and rose from the dead, thus I am Christian.

Answer 3

Since matter cannot be created nor destroyed and the universe has been proven to start from a single point, the origination of matter must have come from a creator. A creator therefore exists or existed.

Answer 4

well someone created the earth, or the earth created itself. meaning, that something had to create countries, which have forests, which have trees, which have leaves, which have cells. and each single cell is more complex than all of new york city. and that's jsut a leaf.
do you think that there could be a flood and then a tornado and then the faces on Mount Rushmore could be created? no, there was a creator. if a tornado can't make a simple carving of faces, how can an explosion created animals, cells, atoms, life, death, light, darkness, plant, microbes and etc. ?
there has to be a creator.
and that creator is God.

Answer 5

My belief in God is based on faith of his word. Logically you hear his word and his word works with your spirit and produces a substance called faith. Your interaction with this faith in the acceptance of his word (belief) or rejection of his word (unbelief) will determine your destiny. I suppose you could liken it to driving down the road and the word is that you should not violate the speed limit. If you obey that you travel safely but if you do not you are penalized with a ticket.

Answer 6

If you have ever walked out one day and smelled a flower, watched a squrill climb a tree, or any thing else, you should know. How else could the sun raise.set? Or, explain to me how we got here. dont say it was some meteor that crashed and had bacteria.we are more than that to God.
Think over this: In the Bible it says: God created man out of dust. What happens when people die? over the years, they turn BACK to dust. i hope you believe in God like me.
Say this Prayer aloud, and mean it.

I admit that i am a sinner. Please God, forgive me of all my sins. I believe that your 1 and only son, Jesus, died on th cross for me. i cofess to you lord my sins. Please, enter my heart LORD.
Amen.

Love you and God Bless you.

Answer 7

It makes no sense that there is something rather than nothing without an outside cause. Particularly in a reality where everything we know of-including the universe itself as seen in the big bang-has a beginning.

There is no logical reason for the laws of physics to have the precise values that they do except that if they were any different there could not be life or even a world as we know it (a June or July issue of Scientific American a few yrs back).

The idea of evolution is counter to the second law of thermodynamics, which says that disorder in the universe is always increasing. Some try to explain away the lack of energy needed for organization by saying that there might be pockets of higher energy that average out with other areas. This only makes things worse however. While energy is indeed needed for organization, without an intelligent guiding force, more energy only speeds diffusion and chaos. That is why we shake up salad dressing.

NASA has developed techniques for identifying possible alien intelligence in the universe. These techniques are said not to work in the area of biology, however, because everything comes up positive for an intelligent organization.

While evolution proposes that new species arise by survival of the fittest, there are traits that could not conceivably be selected for this way. Eyebrows, for example, would probably not effect survival rates enough to instigate them being selected for naturally. The flagellum of a sperm is made up like an outboard motor-without every piece precisely designed, none would function, and thus this demonstrates irreducible complexity.

Not only is our earth in an optimum place for survival, it is in an optimum place in our solar system and galaxy for observation of the universe at large-something not even useful until modern times.

Evolutionists suggest that while it is unlikely for the elements of life to come together, it is simply an improbability that becomes probable given enough chances. It is thus often compared to enough monkeys typing for long enough to randomly type Shakespeare. This is a false analogy for several reasons however. First of all, it can be shown mathematically that the chance of even the most basic lifeforms coming about by chance is statistically zero when you actually compare it to the age of the universe. Thus if you attributed the chance of the universe coming about by creation to be one in a trillion, you would be attributing a hugely higher probability to creation.

The chemical conditions required for equally essential biological structures (I think the sugar and amino acid [protein] portions of DNA or RNA but I don't remember for certain) are diametrically opposed. Even if they could form, life can only use left-handed molecules for amino acids. Yet left and right-handed forms are equally likely to form. If a right-handed molecule gets mixed in, it is poison. In fact it is so hard to produce only one type of molecule, they still haven't found a way to do it with medicine, yet it is often one form that causes the beneficial effects, and the other that produces the side effects-so you know they have tried.

One of the requirements of the scientific method is falsifiability. That is, there must be a hypothetical outcome that could show the hypothesis or theory to be wrong. For example, if we tested the theory of gravity a falsifying outcome would be an object falling up. Darwin did propose a falsifiable outcome-discontinuity in the fossil record. However, when it was indeed found to be discontinuous evolutionists proposed "punctuated equilibrium" as an explanation for this lack. This idea proposes that evolution is not slow and steady as Darwin supposed, but happens in bouts of relatively sudden change, perhaps due to extreme circumstances. However, there is no evidence for punctuated evolution and no replacement falsifiable outcome has been proposed in its stead as far as I know. Therefore evolution is not testable, can only be believed by faith, and is thus unscientific.

Another error of evolutionists is round logic. Evolutionists base their evidence for evolutionary age on the geologic layer the fossil is found in (radiologic dating methods such as potassium-argon or carbon dating are a secondary method for confirmation, however if the radiologic date doesn't match the expected age, the radiologic results are thrown out). However, the geologic layers themselves are dated by the fossils found in them. These are called "index fossils." Another example of round logic used by evolutionists is the tendency to attribute the precise fit of a species in its habitat to evolution. Yet evolution uses this same fit as evidence for its authenticity. Yet the same could be said of creationism (The animal fits its environment because it was created that way. The animal fits its environment so it must have been created.).

This is all I have time for, for now, although I think I hit most of the big ones.

Answer 8

Well faith is a big part of everything.

In everyone no matter what you believe there is a call. Something inside of you and everyone else that constantly questions why. That's what causes people to become scientists and theologians alike.

I believe that this voice, this calling is the voice of God calling us to believe.

Look at everything beautiful and it just sends shivers up the spine. That is God.

Answer 9

My belief is based on neither logic, nor faith, but by experience.

Answer 10

The existance of God is not only a matter of the mind but also a matter of the heart/will. However, there is enough evidence for one who is truly seeking God; however, there is obscurity for those who are not of the right mindset .

Blaise Pascal puts it succinctly:

"It was not then right that He should appear in a manner manifestly divine, and completely capable of convincing all men; but it was also not right that He should come in so hidden a manner that He could not be known by those who should sincerely seek Him. He has willed to make Himself quite recognizable by those; and thus, willing to appear openly to those who seek Him with all their heart, and to be hidden from those who flee from Him with all their heart, He so regulates the knowledge of Himself that He has given signs of Himself, visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not. There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition.”

Answer 11

easy! you see a painting...you know there was a painter. you see a building...you know there was a builder. you see a creation...you know their was a Creator.
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." Romans 1:20
