Science is yet to recognize the single most potent element in human existance, letting the reigns go through the unfolding is FAITH.....
My attempt to translate: Science has yet to recognize the single most potent element in human existence. Letting the reigns go through the unfolding is FAITH. AKA Letting go of religion is the true faith. I don't agree, but I tried to translate.
Really though, I think that the Christian church needs some looking at with fresh eyes. I'm a jr. staff at a Christian summer camp 2 days a week, and I picked up a Bible and flipped through it. I found multiple pages talking specifically about how to dismember your animal sacrifice to the Lord, how to anoint yourself in the blood, etc.

That's a line from a System of a Down song. How can that possibly be relevent to why people believe in God?

Personally I don't think beleiving in God means you believe in the Bibles version of God. Some people do believe the Bible but I don't think there are many (if any) who still believe that kind of sacrifice is nessecary. Though if they really believe in the Bible maybe they do. (Please no one attack me for my sarcasm.)
Correcting my own sentence. I don't thinking believing in God means you have to believe in the Bibles version of God.
Sure. It all depends from which culture it comes. For example, christian god just has one God who is overpowered in all senses.
Greek ancient culture has a god for each kind of thing: time, earth, sky, god of gods...
It all depends of your own point about the culture you're believing in. There are lots of versions coming from the same christian culture, but it doesn't mean any of them make another wrong. All is faith, so all can be possible.

Some people believe yet to the Greek gods. Also the world's third largest religion Hinduism believes that exist many gods, they believe that because of their culture and the way the live. Some of the persons who criticize Christianity and/either Islam say that many of their supporters see the saints in the first case and in the second case the prophets are minor gods.
Not a good translation... it means that science cant rationalize what it cant fathom, and logic cant explain the absolute trust is some thing you cant see. Thats what my sentence means.....
Look lets not turn this into a flame war (even though it's already begun) take a car apart and just lay the parts thier and wait for it to put itself back together. That's evolutuion. To belive in God takes faith, something that can not be given to you by any human or being other than God.

Simply put? Completely, utterly wrong. First of all, a car isn't living, it has no mechanism for assembling itself and changing itself, unlike living organism. Second, you're acting as though there was a preset design for life that had to be fulfilled. Again, wrong, evolution simply favors certain species depending on which mutations they develop and what environment they are in, it has nothing to do with completing a set design. Third, why does everyone seem to use that example despite its complete irrelevance to evolution???
As for the faith in God thing, if that were true, wouldn't he put faith in everyone, not just a few? Basically what your saying is God is responsible for giving you your faith, yet why would he only give faith to some, and why would he even bother with it if he controls the outcome of peoples faith, meaning he already knows who goes to heaven/hell? Seems rather pointless
But why would separate atoms fuse from stars, 'decide' to assemble themselves in a way that makes a consiousness, doesnt that in its self reqire one in the first place? thus, something before atoms?
