Let me start again here:
Well, wartank, i couldnt agree less than what u have said over the past few pages, we cant exactly prove there is a god, but again, i just have to believe that their is a god because of the hope and logic in my mind. Its like something is there, inviting you to believe and with all the miracles shown, i have to.
Now, like all of you had said, the spec that seemed to create the whole world must have came from somewhere. And if the "big bang" did happen, then that is what i believe when god created the Universe. well thats what i think.
Right now, some of you guys know, but I am Muslim. And, as being Islamic, i read the Quaran. Since my mother was Catholic before, I have also read the Bible. I must say it is very alike. It teaches to believe in God, to do only the righteous deeds, to hustle every day, and so on. There are some stuff that i dont agree with in the Bible, but thats another issue.
And like i said wartank, i agree with you on this topic. But there is something in my mind that justifies that god really does exist (for me).
Why is the universe so dam perfect?
I mean, why is it? Why is it that the earth is the only planet to have life on it? But why is it that humans are here and that everything on the planet can sooth our needs? That the earth is balanced perfectly on its axis so that we can live on. Why is it that there is a sun which helps us grow the plants we need to survive, and also help the animals survive so we the humans can get our nutrients from? How is it that all our nutrients are in one planet? Why is it that there is water, a main part for us to live, here? It is so perfect to match our needs too. All natural food and water, not artificial, would let us live also. And why is it that us, the humans, have an internal system that works so perfectly that keeps us going? Why do we have a brain to think and to learn. Why do we have DNA, which is composed of something like codes, that look so much like a computer which is constructed which gives us all different looks? Then, when we die, or if anything dies, it decomposes into the ground to be once again with the earth and provide for the future. And why do we have a soul? Something that expresses emotion such as love, sadness, and happiness?
All of these questions popped in my mind while one time i was questioning the existance of God. And the answer to that, combined with the fact the Holy books are here (Quaran, Bible, Torah) and the hope it gives me and just the things he provides for us is too much. (also there is a lot of science in the holy books just saying). In my mind, there is no way this all happened in a coincidence.
In suggestion, if an Athiest truly believes that there is no God, i say challenge yourself. Challenge yourself to see another side to this. Read. Read the Quran, Bible, Torah and seek the highly educated from these religions, and talk to them and maybe even debate this. And find videos about people preaching the word of God.
With the miricles, God doesnt hand out miricles like its nothing. He may install belief in people, but his only provable miracle, to me, is the Quran. But, to me, God works in a mysterious way that i no one will know what he does. Maybe some the things that people say are miricles are coincidences, but maybe some things people say are coincidences are really miricles....
And finally:
Einstein uses the word 'god', but he doesn't mean god in the way that you think of god.
Doesnt Einstein admit that there is an actual creator? Thats what im trying to prove. Cuz, he says that he isnt an athiest. He may not believe in God the way i do, but he admitted that there is a creator. If he didnt then im sorry....
But again, the definate answer to this thread is death.
