Does God Exist?

[Virgin Mary]

As a chemistry student I'm meant to believe in the big bang etc.
But theres a hell of alot unexplained.
But there is by religion too.
So I'm undecided, there may be, there must be a reason why I'm me, not anyone else. But then it might just be a coincidence.
I'm not likely to find out so yeah, either way, it's all good.

Hey, here's a picture of the sexy guy who created the big bang theory: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...University.jpg ;p
he's dressed as a priest because he wrote the bible
CrAZY isn't it!??

Science have proof of how the word was created, this whole god thing seems like a complete load of rubbish, im athiest so don't believe in god.

[FlyingJesus]

And science has never been proven wrong yeah

The idea of God is powered by those who believe in him, as long as people believe God exists.

Take a giraffe, if one of the giraffes nerves wasnt connected properly it wouldnt be able to use it's neck and it would then die as a result of starvation.

Evolution? The process by which an animal has evolved to adapt to the environment of tall trees. Giraffes just didn't get dumped on the earth by God. You find fossilised remains of dinosaurs but not of giraffes.

They go to heaven because their babys and they never did anything bad

Then why allow those babies to be created in the first place, if they are not given the chance to prove if they are worthy of going to Heaven?

@James ~ I'm not scared of dying because i know where i'm going. I'm not a christian because i was scared of dying i am a christian because it's the choice i made in life.

This is the point he is trying to make, though. You're not scared of dying but that's because you think you are going to go to heaven. If you didn't think you were going to heaven, you might find the idea of death just a bit scary.

The doctors said even with their help there was hardly any chance.

Hardly is the key word there. There was a chance it just wasn't a big chance. Your brother was lucky, and the medical care he received was obviously of an excellent standard. There are cases where doctors say a patient is definitely not going to survive, and they do. You may well liken that to a miracle, and maybe it is, but at the end of the day we are human and we make mistakes - and prediction of death is not something that one can always accurately determine.

Personally, I believe there is a celestial body. I would refer to Him as "God" as I have been brought up in a predominantly Christian society and through most of primary school it was the religion that I was exposed to most. However I do not consider myself Christian, and I do not believe that the celestial body I refer to can be explained by religion. The God of my mind, be him real or fantasy, is not a God that does not desire you to worship him but something that's just there. Maybe He is watching or maybe He has no interest in this world, but I would like to believe there is something there.
As I said above, whatever is (if anything) out there, I do not believe religion can explain or determine what it is. As a friend of mine says, we could be just one big alien experiment? Give me solid evidence a God that does exist and I will drop to my knees and beg His or Her or It's forgiveness. Before then I am satisfied to live my life without the restrictions of religion.

At least it's plausible. Unlike karma and reincarnation, which people only believe in until someone in their family gets cancer or someone has a miscarriage. With christianity you can just say "they're in a better place now" and the comfort is all there =)

Unless, as I say, you can give me solid evidence rather than just a rating of the plausibility of different aspects of different religions then I will remain a sceptic. The comfort you talk about merely proves my above point in regard to why a lot of people turn to Christianity and religion. So they can feel comfortable with their impending death and the death of others around them.

The idea of faith isn't to have proof though

That's what i'm saying, at least it's pointful.
