This could cause some debate & arguments. So I'll be watching closely, if anything seems to spark up I'm closing this. So keep it light.

For me, I don't believe in God, rather the big-bang theory. Although, I do not believe thats how it happened, I just believe that its on the right track to the answer.

Isn't debate a good thing? A little bit of debate is always healthy, just don't go and start insulting people because of their beliefs. Otherwise debating is fun.

Yes, alright I used the wrong word. Either way, I dont want to see this get anymore than a light discussion/debate.

I personally believe there is a god because he shown his love to me so many times. I more or less believe because of the personal experiences I've had with him, he saved my life so many times. It's either that or I'm really lucky, but I doubt I have any luck. Also I don't believe the world was just created one day because the universe decided to expand on it's own with a "big bang". People can believe what they want to, but I've had too many encounters with God to say he doesn't exist at all.

Well, I personally feel he's saved my ass a lot...and my mom...and my dad...and the rest of my family. And I also share the belief that the world didn't just one day decide to exist. Everything here on Earth is OMG INTRICATE, and to say that it all happened by chance is just like...wrong.

And I don't believe in luck.

Just because he hasn't saved your ass a lot doesn't mean he doesn't exist. God doesn't exist to bring each and every one of our desires or wishes to life. I've had some pretty bad things happen to me, but I believe everything happens for a reason.

Me personally? I don't believe in god. But that's not to say that he's not real. I just haven't found any evidence. So yeah... I would say that I'm agnostic.

Me? Yeah, I believe in the God of the Christian Faith. He has done a lot in my life, he may have not saved me from dying or anything, but I have had quite a few 'moments' myself, but then again everyone on this site thinks I'm crazy so I won't retell those events. :P I personally don't believe in the Big Bang, in fact I don't even believe in evolution. Sure, I believe in natural selection and how things adapt, but from bacteria to walking talking humans just doesn't work for me. The fact that apes evolved into humans, a diverse species where everyone has completely different features just doesn't fit. Did He create the world in seven days? Who knows, but why would he have to take billions of years?

Ok I can see how people dont believe in the big bang. But evolution just sort of, confuses me how people dont see that or adaptation. For instance, Africans are black as they have adapted to the heat, black skin making it less-likely for them to get skin cancer. Different animals show their adaptation and so on constantly. Plus, catterpillars > butterfly's are also an example of evolution. The fact that we have fossils, dinosaur bones etc are as big of a clue as anything. Just by looking at people you may think we have not evolved over thousands of years, but its not just appearence and adaptation which evolve. Your brain does, it becomes more knowledgable through time.

In my own case, I cant see how God would exist. Space has been proven, the vast size of it too. & Due to personal experience, I dont see how someone as holy as he can let such tragic things happen to such innocent people, and such horrible people & criminals walk free from punishment.

Well of course bad things happen, and I understand that. But you have to admit, regardless, that when you feel he's helped you it convinces you all the more that he's real. Considering my grandmother suffered from cancer and died right before me, I can say that I've experienced bad things too.

Now for an opinion from someone who is in the middle. I kinda go with common sense from things i've learned to what just appears to be. Do i beilieve there is a god? Its hard to say yes or no. Yes good things have happened, but you can't necessarily say it was another entity that caused it to happen, when that entity hasn't appeared before you to prove that. It could be just life moving along and things happening like they always do. As opposed to the big bang? Hell no to that. Im taking up a medical major and my anatomy class have come to prove just how crazily complicated the body is. If you had even 10% knowledge of this, you would go crazy. EVERYTHING goes together and works to keep the other alive in the human body, even right down to the single cell. So I don't think the amoeba had enough time or ability to just create a human. Sure it can happen, but I feel that the world is far too complex to say it just did.

As to evolution, yes it does happen. You cant argue with that. Ashy proved that point with the skin tones. Humans are not just the way they are just for the heck of it. If god made Adam in his image and we're all so different, you can only say that humans have adapted and evolved over the time. You also dont know HOW Adam might have looked back then. A film and movie wont tell you that, and neither will picture books of bible stories.
