who ever suggested that the big bang created humans? lol, ive never heard that one before.

anyway, i think its completely stupid for anyone to be positive of whether or not there is a god. i dont know if there is a god, and honestly, i dont care. no one can prove it in either direction. if i had to take a guess id say i dont think there is one but i have no proof to say that there isnt, so i dont really know.

and for all those people who say there is no god: stop trying to prove it to believers. for every piece of proof you give them, all they're gonna do is make up some excuse like "its god testing us." or like with evolution: "god made evolution happen." there will never ever ever ever ever be sufficient evidence for believers to change their minds, so i wouldnt bother.

but people arent perfect. why do we get sick? why are children born with deformities? why do we have a pancreas if we dont even need it? i know you like to think it, but we arent perfect.

Thats convenient. So animals aren't actually important? They have no souls? I dont think so...

The only reason we are any different to animals is because we evolved and eventually had the ability to speak. Other animals have the ability to fly, breathe underwater, climb flat vertical surfaces etc. Just because we have more developed brains doesnt mean that it is only us that matters. If god created everyone equal then he didn't exclude animals.

Are you an atheist or a TV evangelical mormon? We get it you don't believe in god you don't have to keep throwing your opinions at us =S

no because who created god?

I can't grasp how people can be so ignorant and totally disregard science and believe that God has done everything. With regards to your giraffe argument Paul that can easily be explained through evolution. They have evolved in order to survive in their environment.

Exactly what I said; everything has a first cause. Therefore, something/someone must have created God. I just can't understand why some people just disregard science and believe God made everything - like Jake said - I mean, some Christians believe in Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, yet they can't grasp the fact that a Big Bang caused the beginning of the universe in spite of there actually being evidence... How silly?!

Well the usual argument is that god created the big bang. The big bang theory was actually conceived by a catholic priest as a scientific means to explain the "let there be light" thing that started everything. Furthermore, seeing as time was created along with the big bang, it's presumable that god is not bound by time and therefore has no beginning or end, i.e. infinite.

I was brought up to believe in God so in my opinion, he exists.

and as said somewhere its better to believe in God and find he doesnt not exist than not believe in God and find he does exist.
although i would rather believe in him and find he does exist.

Therefore, that makes God nothing in a sense... I think. If he has no beginning then that means he is non-existent because he hasn't "been created" essentially.

No he doesn't.
