I definitely believe in, at the very least, some forms of higher beings, whether it be God and Jesus himself or Gods of nature and the elements.
 
I don't want to feel that my time on Earth is wasted. After all, there must be some reason why we are all on Earth. And which smart alec made this thread anyway? Just want to make name for yourself, don't you? Religion is a sensitive topic, and I think that everyone should stick to their beliefs and not try to convert the world. There can only be one correct religion, and we'll find out soon enough.
 
This thread has more people viewing it right now than the DCC had two hours after the New Year. :o

I believe in God, but I don't hold many of the beliefs that other Catholics in my church hold. I personally believe that God created the universe for whatever to happen to it. He does not intervene in such ways to prevent evil and danger from spreading. I do not believe in the Adam and Eve thinger though; I believe in evolution from the start of the first cell to exist on this planet. I believe that animals have souls and do go to heaven just like humans do. Oh! Andandand I kind of believe in reincarnation where you like... ermm... go to heaven and say "Hey God, can you be awesome and let me live another life?" andandand God's like "Yeah, but remember that you may not return here" and such. Iono, I just think that right now. Do not try to debate with my beliefs, because I'm respecting your posts that I don't think are true enough to just read them. have a problem with that? Go hit yourself with a mutant carrot! :<

My question to you is, why is to so impossible to think that something spiritual can co-exist with science? As I've said before and I'll say again, there is more than one concept of God. Why does everyone keep 'defaulting' to the christian god :|

PS, the Big Bang theory is not 100% proven, there have been a few discoveries that have made the theory shaky. Theories are theories until they are proven as fact. I say this as I too take science very seriously, we cannot find the truth until we question enough so that we can prove it is true.

a theory: a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world...

Of course, it is always open to revamping and editing, but it is still pretty solid.
More than most can say in support of a God, really.

Like I said in my most recent post, the calender, I don't know the exact name for the calender but thats all the evidence you need. Also, there is a guy called Jack Van Impe and he has his own show, watch that and he'll tell you. Well, it's your choice that you don't believe in God.

What? What calender? The only calender I've ever heard of that predicted the world would end somehow (it didn't even include an Anti-Christ) was the Aztec. You can't just tell me there's a calender out there that you don't know the name of and brush it off as evidence. That's ridiculous. If the Christian calender predicted that the world would meet the anti-Christ in 2012, I think I'd know. I have the feeling the calender you're talking about doesn't exist or it was made by some sort of misguided cult.

And Jack Van Impe; his show is utterly ridiculous. Good for the lulz, yes, but utterly ridiculous. He starts his show by reading out a news headline and then he uses verses from the bible to interpret them. Often he manages to show that they are predicted events linked with the end of the world.

He's pointed to many dates and said that the second coming of Christ would occur on them, but a lot have already passed and as they do, he just comes up with another point in the near future. His latest guess is 2012. He doesn't have any reason to say 2012. He doesn't have any evidence to back himself up. He's a complete oddball no one should take seriously.
 
No i do not believe in god at all.
i beleive "god" is just a higher power used from within to look upon something in a staggering moment.
This "help me god" is really you, searching for your real strength.
He is just a symbol to something of human nature.

Thats the same thing calender I was talking about and I meant about that "end of the world" thing. Look... I didn't say that I wanted to argue! I just said what I believed, and I didn't want to argue. We will see when the day comes!! You can't just come in and just say that i'm completely wrong or you can't just say that a person on the television is wrong!! You don't know for sure and I didn't say that it was definite about what I said, nobody knows the exact truth! And you would know that yourself.

Arguing does not equal debating. You do not wish to debate because you have nothing to back yourself up with other than the fact that Jack has managed to brainwash you. The calender is fake. There's no real evidence to prove that what he's saying is true.

Actually, wait. I'm a God. Worship me. You'll listen to that, right? 'Cause it seems to me that you'll just listen to anything without asking for evidence.

Agreed, topics like this can only divide and anger people. There should be a rule that prevents these kinds of threads.

Yeah, very funny. I'm not brainwashed and I know he might not be completely true, you might be true even. But yeah maybe I used the wrong word, I don't want to debate about it so. Also, I knew you were gonna say something like that, as I said, we should just wait and see. I don't want to make enemies I actually just like to make friends no enemies and I don't want you to be my enemy either so if we could just stop this debate and wait 3 years, then we will find out, otherwise this debate will go on for ages and other people will join in and start to add more to this debate. So, can't we just stop?

I can at least clear up the Adam and Eve stuff.

It's true, they had Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel, and then was "banished." Then they had Seth, another boy. Adam and Eve lived for 100s of years, and obviously had daughters. Somehow, mutations were avoided and they were the parents of all humankind.

At least, that's what I believe.

Hey I was learning about Norwegian religion, don't know what it's called in English but it's called, Ásartrú in Icelandic, and I learned that the first people in there were called, Askur and Embla, wow same letters as in Adam and Eve (Eva),

And yes I believe in god and his son, but I'm not like hardcore on it, Christianity has it flaws,

And have you wondered how everything is so alike with the creation, like in Ásartrú, Óðinn and his brothers killed Ýmir, a titan (Jötun), and in the Greek and Roman, something similar happened with Zeus, and in Budishm there is a circle, a never ending one, just like in Ásatrú, after (ragnarök)end of the world, the cicle was suppose to start all over, when you think about things like that you can see how simular but yet so diffrent things are.
 
I do not believe in the Christian God, nor do I put my faith in any other gods or deities. There was a time when I believed whole-heartily in the Christian faith, but my experiences on this earth have persuaded my vision to turn elsewhere.

Gods and higher-powers will always co-exist with any type of intellectual beings. Once in possession of the power to think, one begins to question existence. All of mankind, since it's birth, has always searched for the answer to the meaning of life; it is our nature. Omnipotent beings that have existed since the beginning of time give our minds' solace to a question we can never possibly understand.

For those that cannot understand why a seemingly infinite plain would suddenly explode and expand, you misunderstand. The universe was not infinite at the point before the "Big-bang". It was a concentrated area of all the building blocks of mass that will ever exist that "exploded" and is currently expanding into infinity. In all honesty, there are some theories that describe the universe as oscillating, meaning that at a certain point the universe will begin to concentrate itself again and repeat the whole process. Time itself may be cyclical.

People refute the "Big-Bang" theory with ideals that the earth and it's workings are too perfect to ever be a result of chance. People who believe in a higher-power argue that too many coincidences would have had to occur in order for life to have been created without the outside aid of a creator-god. To this I offer the argument that anything is possible given enough time and that's something the concentrated universe had an abundance of. In fact, there is an infinitely small chance that the molecules in your fingers can fuse with the molecules in your keyboard right now. The chance is so small however, that one would never witness this in the span of many lifetimes. Given eternity, it will eventually happen.

My own arguments aside, I believe anyone has the right to believe the way they wish. I have no right to claim that my ideals are correct above any others and nobody else has the right to claim the theirs is either. The simple fact is that everyone, even if the differences are minuscule, has a different view on creation. We won't know until we're gone, right? Sorry, this is one of those topics I enjoy discussing. XD
 
My family considers themselves Christian-Protestant. However, I'm pretty much open to all possibilities. I don't know if I actually believe there is a "God", but definitely a higher power. I don't believe that there is a scientific explanation behind everything, and honestly I'd prefer not to think that way. That just makes this world so much more boring. If a higher power does exist, he doesn't save people or prevent bad things from happening, he just let's life flow the way that it's supposed to be. As for what happens after you die, I really don't know. I'd like to believe there is a Heaven, though.

I would prefer not to be immensely dedicated to believing in something that may not be real, and spending my Sundays going to church (however, I do like to attend when I can), so I remain on the fence.
 
It definitely doesn't exist, and it's not about believing, it's about proving... first, nothing can be created or destroyed, only transformed: means that the mass and energy in the universe (I call it massenergy) is a constant, because you can turn mass into energy, and in stranger cases, viceversa... This argument proves the universe was never created or destroyed, but transported... Big Bang was a white hole, expelling the ever-transported massenergy that the last black hole swallowed, meaning the end of all massenergy in the spacetime as we know (our dimension), will be because of the merging of all black holes, fact that was studied... (a when 2 black holes encounter, they turn into a more massive one, and gets catapulted... no one knows where it is catapulted, but that is still in the same dimension...)

Many of you talk about creating... but creation in terms of massenergy doesn't exists, so believing is for people who can't prove this... it's a cycle, and you can't stop it from happening...

About values... those were created by the human being to control a society, making a religion, all in attempt to make rules to follow, and to make us more "advanced" (and it's good for the creators of the religions, because they have followers, all already manipulated... doing what these people with ideas want to), but in my opinion, it would be better to teach the people how to prove everything, and to question everything around you, suggesting a better thing to do, to continue with the progress... so religion must be left in the past, and we should worry more about other stuff... such as what to do to advance as a society for real...

About the design of the universe, that's something that nobody decides, it's just a product of physics, chemistry and casualities, of course... nothing else... (note that casualities can't be made by something superior, because there's nothing superior than the power of the human intelligence to transform everything around him/her...)

Therefore, intelligence can't be given by a "GOD", it's a result of adapting to your surroundings and being able to transform them, which is called evolution... Positive proof of evolution is in the DNA of all living beings, having parts alike, meaning that we all differ because of specific adaptations to everything...

These arguments kill others, and prove there's no such thing as "God"...
 
I don't believe in the Christian God, or any other form of higher being or "creator."

Why? I was brought up Catholic by both parents, and I was forced to attend CCD up until until 12 or 13 years old. Going there every week and being told how humanity is hell-ridden, and we're all gonna burn in a lake of fire when we die...really isn't something I wanted to hear about xD;

So yeah, I'm an atheist. Not one of those douchebag atheists that's constantly trying to promote my ideas onto everyone else I know, though. My religion, or lack thereof is my business alone; I'll believe what I want to believe, and you can believe what you want to believe. The only problem I've ever had with religious people before in the past are the hardcore fanatics who are constantly trying to throw their beliefs at you, like they know what happens when you die.

...Dayum, just think for a second about all the conflict that could be resolved in today's world if people just knew when to respect others beliefs, and mind their own effing business ._.
 
Agreed. Everyone should just stick to their own religion rather than dumping their speeches of conversion onto an unwilling atheist. I am a Muslim, others are Christian, others are atheist, but I don't really care who. Now stop throwing evidence around and answer the question. Do you believe in God or not?
 
I'm a Christian, so yes, I believe in God.
 
Lord GaGa, who are you talking to? Me, or Vega, or both?
