I myself believe in God, and that He created us.
If you don't believe in God, then how do you think life all began? I'm not trying to question what you believe... I'm just curious.

I don't know how life began, and I am not so dishonest as to invent beings to explain it. It really doesn't matter, anyway.

Matter and energy can not be created nor destroyed.
No creator required.
Life came from natural law and natural selection.
It's an immature mind that can't grasp this fundamental truth (The First Law of Thermodynamics).
God is the last, great Santa Claus. All the other fairy-tale creatures our parents made-up fell away as we matured. For some reason, not even parents have the courage to let go of this last Judaic fairy-tale patriarch.

I honestly don't believe in anything. Everyone has the theories. Just like you have a theory that God created life but you can't know for sure. I just know what I see and kids are getting bigger and smarter by the year. My little sister is in 5th grade and there are kids in here class as tall as me. I'm 5 '9. Maybe we started out as monkeys I don't know. I just can't believe in something that can't be proven. I could go on for days but I'll leave it at that.

I personally do not care how it began. I know a god didn't make it. I also know life will be non-existent when our sun burns out, if not sooner.
I think we as humans should be looking to the future instead of the past. We should use all of our resources to insure that life will never end in this galaxy.

life began a long time ago. i know some of the theories that try to explain it but i personally dont know. it happened billions of years ago. i dont know and i really dont think that is very important. i missed the beginnings of life just like i missed the beginnings of the universe. knowing would be a nice thing but unfortunately nobody does (not even you). you have your belief on how things came to be but in the end you dont know (knowing would involve proof while beliefs dont). i am fine with this fact and i look towards the future.

big bang?... not sure.
i wont pretend to know all the answers. but i do know that we keep asking questions. and with that will come answers. and with that will come theories.... proven and dissproven...and then the facts will remain.
history is on our side....
look what we thought only 2000 yrs ago., 1000 yrs ago,. 500 yrs ago, 100 yrs ago.
look what we thought was fact thru the years. and as we kept asking questions...science has changed what it thought was ...fact...andf will continue to do so. and one day, i hope they find how it was all created. one way or the other...whether its god or ... dark matter ..
i would like to know...
i would like to see it be proven... i would like to se a peaceful planet. i would like to see people rely on themslves to be good and not rely on a god to do it. then maybe we can put down the weapons of war...and figure things out as a race

By a natural process, following the laws of nature that we know today.
We know that once life gets going, living species change over the generations and eventually diversify into other species.
I suspect that the first "living" things were the culmination of generations of replication, change and cooperation of "non living" but self replicating molecules, that arose by natural chemical processes from the available materials. But we might never know for sure. I'm okay with that.

I myself believe in evolution.
If you find evolution sooooo hard to believe in, imagine that same sense of unbelieving when I try to imagine a "person".. never dying.. never aging.. never having been seen... a "being" who has always been there... allegedly in the sky somewhere.. who never walked the earth.. never felt a human emotion.. never sat in the rain and contemplated "himself"...
creating a human man from dust.. and a human woman from a rib.. a "deity" who populated his creation with imperfections.. and then punished them for being so...

The big bang, but I'm still not completely sure. Which is why I believe in Science.

I don't know how it all began. I don't really care how it all began. That said, I find it difficult to believe that a sky fairy did it with a wave of his hand. As they say, s&#% happens.
