so you pray then? you must believe in God if you're gonna pray otherwise I doubt he'd answer you. I don't relay (sp) on God to do everything for me, I do that myself and the only time I really need him to hear me is if I want forgiveness, he isn't there to help you, you're meant to help yourself. The bible is made up of peoples stories of what they have experience that have been passed down so there's no saying that it's true or false, you can't just say it's made up but if that's your opinion then fine.

Anyway i don't see why people are ******** off people that believe in him, that's not very fair you should respect what they have to say.

God will answer your prayers if the thing you ask for is what he wants to happen! He also doesn't answer prayers for people who are like ill ask for this and this and this and then won't do anything in return.

If you mean the video it's trying to get across the point something as amazing, intricate and complicated as the human eye couldn't possibly be caused by evolution or chance it had to be made by something greater then man itself, aka God.

I didnt watch teh video but I will voice my opinion on this.

My feeling is that there might be a god, but I dont know if there is one for sure, no on does, so why should I waste my life abiding by the bible if it could be all for nothing? If there was proof of a god than of course I would believe it, but until I die, I wont know if there is a god. So why waste my time.

Just my opinion.

Personally I don't think that a celestial entity not bound by any form of existance in/outside this unverse created us. I don't really care for the idea since its just to far fetched and generalised for me and doesn't hold many principles I believe, but if you want me to use an example to explain why:

If God created us in his own image, we would all be celestial entities just like him because if he was physical in any way, he would be bound by many of the limitations within and outside this universe, therefore then only explanation is that God must have created us in his own image from a time before he was celestial and when he was man, therefore he cannot be the creator of the universe because he must have existed within a universe at one point in order to live and eventually achieve celestial form. Therefore, life must have already existed at one point otherwise he would have not survived, therefore he did not create the universe and did not create life itself, he is simply a being which has achieved a higher existance than us, perhaps through evolution or whatever. If you look at God like this, he is a manipulator and a deceiver who is/was using his achieved powers and understanding to control us.

This is really just a plain straight answer I came up with to the riddle in RE once and I liked it, feel free to disprove it if you like. I don't really care if people do believe in a god or not, just as long as they don't try to change my views as though they have a right to, I'm fine with people believing and many of my friends are religious, but it doesn't bother our relationship because the topic of god or belief never comes up. Many people say that it is the disprovers who cause the problems where it is an equal ground, believers try to prove God to disbelievers and vise-versa.

That's because I'm pro, I will follow as a catholic but won't believe ;) For all we know, cavemen etc have been around years ago, we could be cavemen? Hence why there's probably humans, Earth etc is probably natural and where's the proof of God, Heaven & Hell..

Pretty much the point I'm trying to make, I am a catholic, I have been since I was born, if there's prayers at school etc because I go to a catholic school, I will pray but I won't follow by the bible going church every sunday etc because I'm not sure if God is alive, we could be recarnated as another person when we die, who's to say there's a heaven or hell :P
