What do you think? Is God out there or just another fairy tale designed to keep scared children in line. All answer welcome, just be prepared to defend your response. It's all about the debate.

I am an avid believer of God and the Bible. I don't try to persuade anybody of their beliefs, and I don't like when people try to persuade or question mine. We (people) have a tendency to believe what we don't see and won't question it, but when it comes to God, we question Him. God's intent is not to scare people. He's like most people; don't get on their bad side, and you'll be alright! LOL!! Everyone believes in something, and I think that's good. At least you believe in something. I choose to believe in God, and if I'm wrong in the end, I will have to pay an account of my beliefs and no one else's.


robehren (44)   ranked 7 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

You seem to have the right idea, live and let live. I think what burns me up is the popular media and Hollywood constantly portray Christians as idoits and zealots and fools for thier beleifs. It is not true. There are some nut cases out there but the vast majority of us are good and understanding peopl. I just want equal treatment. If the press were to bash Muslims there would be hell to pay. If they bash Christians the ratings go up. What is wrong with this country. Thanks for the response and God bless you.

Not only is statistically impossible that even one single organism could have accidentally been organized into existence; there is also no logical reason to believe that this amazing universe could have happened by cosmic accident. There has to be some intelligent force behind it, beyond it, and through it all.
I believe, based on the evidence around me and my own experiences, that God is creative, relational (seeks relationship), is loving, and just. These qualities imply intelligent deliberation.
Yes, God is out there.


robehren (44)   ranked 7 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

you are like me. I am an amateur sicentist and a very logical thinker. I have examined the evidence and come to the only logical conclusion. There are so many holes in the evolutionary theory that I just can't put my faith into it. No evidence exist for what is called Macro evolution. Thre is evidence of micro evolution, adaptation within a species but no fossil record of one species becoming another. I just can't conceive that everything arrived here ex-nihilio. There was a beginning and there will be an end. Science does not have the answers but God does.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mclendon (245)   ranked 45 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

YES! I finally met someone else who knows what macro-evolution means and that it doesn't work! Hallelujah!!!


robehren (44)   ranked 7 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

I have more, there is a book called the Science of God that covers these issues very well. The book is well writen and contains plenty of support for the theories it presents. Worth a read if you have time.


myLot reputation of 18/100. Chiang_Mai_boy (786)  4 months ago

Twenty five plus reasons as to why you are wrong.

myLot reputation of 94/100. santuccie (1795)  4 months ago

Chiang_Mai_boy is really not wrong. I happen to believe in the Creator very strongly, but I also believe in evolution.

Evolution is simply God's way of building on past accomplishments, and adapting life as the environment changes. Read up on bears and dentition; you'll find one example of evolution in progress.

I don't believe in the six-day creation any more than I believe in "naturalistic" (unguided) evolution, though I do believe in miracles: http://www.mylot.com/w/di...

I am not a deist, and especially not an atheist. But I'm not a Christian either. I am a monotheist. Cheers!

God is a belief you Trust in yourself. God is Invisible and Intangible. He lies in your Faith. Keep Faith in your Work and God will be on your side.


robehren (44)   ranked 7 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

Thank you for your inspiring words. I wish others understood that simple concept. I hold my faith close and place my trust in the only thing worthy of it. God.

Yes God does exist. I am not good at debate but there are things in this world that makes me know and believe that there is a God. I have been to deathbed over and over again. The last one is finding out that I am HIV positive and although I have found out three years in my relationship I am glad that I don't have to take medication and living on it because it is my only living hope. Yes I am positive and lost my job and my small business but God is still there opening doors and providing for me. This is the reason I said that yes he does exist. I am not going quote bible verses one have to witness the present of God for him/herselves to know that he does exist. happy


robehren (44)   ranked 7 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

To have suffered the things you have and to still have your faith is a testament to will. I think that God will have a special place for those who can hold onto their faith through such trials. God bless you.

yes God does exist.. He is the Alpha and Omega.. no beginning.. as He said in His word, the Bible.

on the other hand, the universe have a beginning.. then who is only fit to do such things.. simply the one who have no beginning.. God. ..^_^


robehren (44)   ranked 7 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

And this is how it must be. Only God could have created this universe in is great complexity and beauty. I beleive that the universe had a beginning but that God did not.

I do not believe in the bible, as it has been proven that there was half of the original transcripts missing and they were filled in fictionally and adequately in order to fit in with the parts that were present.

I also believe that if we were supposed to know that there is a God, then we would. I do not believe in God per se, but I do believe that there must be some kind of vast ranging intelligence way beyond our capacity in order to create a world containing so many different creatures and biological features that are so complicated in design and functionality.


robehren (44)   ranked 7 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

Well, It sounds like you believe in God then. The incarnation is less important than the fact that you hold that there is a creator. But the more important thing is that you are open to the idea.


myLot reputation of 58/100. FundamentalCharlie (209)   ranked 18 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

Slow down hoss!

Belief in God is essential for without it no one can be saved. Before you can believe in Him, you must believe that He exists. But Christ is the one through whom salvation is presented, and He is the ONLY way. The incarnation is crucial for to be left without the incarnation is to be without the crucifixion, without the resurrection and without the ascension. All vital to the Gospel of Christ.

yes. because everything happens for a reason, according to a plan. that is why sometimes you dont do something you want to do because it is not meant for you to do. you have to figure out the plan and follow it, according what is right for the person you are...or marrying the right person...not all people r right for you...no matter how attractive u might think someone is, but u need to find the person who has the right chemistry regardless of what they look like...it is all about chemistry, timing, following God's plan of what HE wants u to do with ur life, until u cease to exist...that is why in some accidents, even though some are similar, sometimes people die and sometimes by some miracle the escape death because they are not finished with they work on earth. everyone has their own timing in death, whether dying young or living to be very old. it is nothing really about health but they took care of themselves to do more work that needs to be done on earth before it is their time to go.

Of course God exists. If one does not think so, how did we get to be here, and why should we cling to a high moral standard?


robehren (44)   ranked 7 out of 259 in believer  4 months ago

God is there and he created us. This order and beauty we see is actualy not natural in the universe. Everything trends towards chaos. So for there to be order out of chaos there must have been a driving force.


myLot reputation of 45/100. bellis716 (659)  4 months ago

I agree. God created everything. After each thing He created, He said, "It was good." Man is the one who created the chaos we now see in the world. The world was perfect before Adam and Eve sinned and were driven from the garden of Eden.

According to me God exists because sometimes God helps even if someone believes he isn't there. I mean God helps all the time but it sometimes help in a way such that we know that there is someone who is there. There is some supernatural power out there who has created thing universe. Sometimes i wonder if God isn't there how was this universe created and what is the meaning of life.
