Why do you believe in the faith/religion to which you subscribe?Try to provide evidence if you can. If you say "there are many historical records of x" then describe, post, or link them. That said, I'll go first. I'm an atheist. Why? I've seen no evidence that anything supernatural is at work in the universe, and certainly not in our daily lives. As for religion? Its all so shamelessly constructed and based on politics and bigotry. I'm fairly well versed in Christian and Muslim lore, nothing contained therein is compelling to me. Despite the fact that I grew up heavily evangelical. That said, I won't say God does not exist. Evolution and the big bang do not, in any way, disprove God's existence. I will say I don't know. I don't know what made the big bang. Then again, what came before God? :)

I believe in God, and i do not need proof of what i feel in my heart to be true. Faith is something that you believe where their is no proof.

There's an adagium in latin: "fides quaerens intellectum", faith seeking understanding. Maybe there are no proof, but the real faith still seeks understanding.

Hi, God is not an object or a thing, and it can't be proved by testtubes and chemical reactions. God is the creator and sustainer. Do you think the earth, universe, its structure, air, water, living creature, day, night came from nothing? will all these things just happen by chance?? Can even a protein molecule evolve from noting from chance? Are humans able to make a living cell out of nothing? How the earth revolves and go exactly as 24 hours to complete its revolution? Can the complex eye of human be evolved by chance? Who is maintaining our universe with great mathematics and accuracy? The answer is Almighty God, all we see here are the proofs to his existance. Read the last testament, you can see many more proofs scientific, historical etc. which indicates that its not a work of humans. eg:- Quran says: all living creatures are created from water. {This was proved by science few years back} Quran Says: Earths and heavens where joined together, we separated them. {It's something like big bang theory, explaining the method used while creation} Quran Says: When the heavens was smoke, He (God) said to the smoke and the earth: 'come both of you willingly or unwillingly', they said we come willingly. {About atmosphere and heavens(sky and upper world)} Quran Says: God created man from water, dust, essence of soil {Most elements of human body is that we found in the soil} Quran Says: We have set mountains on earth so that it won't shake. We created mountains as pegs. {The function of mountains, science discovered that the mountains have some more root downwards and it balances and prevents earth quakes.} Quran Says: [We] then formed the drop into a clot and formed the clot into a lump and formed the lump into bones and clothed the bones in flesh; and then brought him into being as another creature. Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators! (Qur'an, 23:14) {The development of embryo with different stages. the development of embryo was detected by science few 100 years back. It is exactly matching with what Quran says.} How this can be said by an uneducated man lived 1400 years ago? See different people says about Quran: http://miraclesofthequran.com/perfection_02.html Most of the things Quran says has been proved right, some are neither proved nor disproved yet. Hope they will prove right in near future. None of the Quran predictions proved wrong. Quran has all these miraculous features, existing without any change in it's original language, and it says about scientific facts and truths, which proves its not work of human, and it is from God So I believe in it completely and whole heatedly :The last edition of manual for humans by the creator of humans. Peace.

Let's put it this way. If you think that all that you see around you happened by accident then you must be a really unrealistic joker. In the world we live in there is obviously a design. Then, too, God, if He is a God, He cannot have a begining. Beginings are the concept of a human mind that cannot conceive of anything without a begining. God cannot have a begining if He is to be God - how can He ? Think pal !

hello, I have been watching and reading debates about how good can be proven in this time. to tell you frankly, there's no way to prove it except when you have faith. i believe in evolution or bigbang but i too believed that it was God who created it, for me the scenes in the bible about genesis is mrerely symbolism. and recently I've seen a discussion in a group in friendster that not only he doesn't believe in God, he also doesn't believe in evolution, Crazy as it is i just left that topic for others to tackle with.lolz

Some things you can prove as they are outward but somethings you can't. Belief is something within that no one else can see.

Dear friend, I do believe I am here only because of God. Moreover God will come if one do good things God like good things as most people like to be in nice place and with good people, God too like be there. If you want to see God I could prove that and to see God is attained if one do God things no negative thoughts in might. If so I can guarantee one could see and experience God.

I like alot of the posts as I feel the same way.Religion leads me to more questions with out any factual answers, no matter the faith. Wich faith is right? Is there a faith that is right when it comes to our creation? and our demise? afterlife? everyday living? I belive in the ten commandments. I think they are a good basic way to lead your life. Anything beyond that to me leads again into more questons that have no right or wrong answers. As many of these questions cannot be answered til we experience them. And the answers to big questions like is there a heaven or a hell? No one other than Jesus has supposidly ever come back to say what happens to us if anything at all beyond becomming one again with the soil we walk upon. My Hubby was raised in a home with alot of religious influence. He like me is on the fence about what is true and not. He's also made statements that make me question things further.

I do believe in God. Even if other people say that there is none. I cannot prove that God does exist to anyone but I do feel it in myself that is there. It is a matter of belief and I am not forcing anyone to believe me since each one of us have our own understanding and belief. So I am sorry that I cannot prove anything, but surely even without proof, I in my heart believe that God is there...

I do believe in God. And like what other people say here, I don't need proof to believe in Him. And I do believe that every good things that are happening to me are actually blessings from Him because of my faith. And as for the bad things, I am able to overcome them because of His guidance. When tough times come, I just lift up everything to Him and He will do the rest.

Like you I'm an atheist and gave up justifying it years ago. Unfortunately many think that an atheist can't really be one and are convinced they have the powers of conversion if they can indoctrinate for long enough. So bored of the whole arguemtnt about it years ago I give no evidence or justification these days.

There are things that happen around us that would certainly raise questions on whether God really exists or not. There's also the numerous religions claiming that their god is the real one against the others. These things only contributes to the confusion if one does not exert enough effort to look for what they thought is the real god. I'm not religious and personally I did not see God in person but just the thought that I'm a living, thinking and feeling individual living in this world is just too much of a coincidence. There must be someone out there who made all these things possible. Cheers!

I do believe that there's an ultimate power controlling all the universe. But i don't believe in personal God. What religions taught us about God (and also about angels, demons, heaven, or hell, etc) is merely anthrophomorphism; it's just human's perception and description about phenomenons that they can't understand.

Yes, I do believe in God. I do not have any living, breathing proof but I know deep down in my heart that God exists. I pray to him all the time and I know that he listens to my prayers. Believing in God is all about faith, and your faith isn't something that's three dimensional, your faith is inside of you. Your faith comes from your heart. Therefore if you believe in and have faith in God and you know deep down in your heart that he exists, you should not and do not have to prove it to anyone.
