Why?

Makes people better people.
Makes people feel more secure in life.
Can help to develop friendships in local communities.

In my opinion, it's great.

Only thing that messes shit up is manipulation of people when under the influence of the religion.


I totally agree to that. Religion should be especially interesting in combiantion with neuroscience. Religion can do a lot with your head, hope confidence, feeling stronger in a community, feeling to have a sense of responsible, a meaning of life. All those psychological concepts do a hell of a lot of good and healthy physical changes in your brain. Quite similar to drugs but natural and without rebound effect.

1)  it would take longer than 13 billion years from the singularity for mankind to evolve from rocks

2)  how our planet supports and sustains life is rather suspicious.  everything from how water recycles, to oxygen production, to the atmosphere's protection, it's all too coincidentally perfect.

objectively speaking, it would be more unbelieveable that there isn't a higher being who made it all.  everything about how the universe works suggests that it was designed to support life, somewhere.


here you say higher being , so why call it god if it doesnt have a gender ?

god = he
being = it

oh wait , how did that being come into existance ?

I agree, science does lead to God. The dominant philosophical view in the scientific community however is a concerning one , and it leads many religious people away from science. People are taught a philosophical view of the world that excludes God or any higher power. Its a shame.

Actually, It is possible to have evolved from single celled organisms all the way to what we see today. This is not due to the minor evolution and speciation that is occurring around us everyday.This is because of Hox genes (Homeotic genes), these genes regulate development along an axis, the more an organism has the more complex an organism can be. Mutations in these genes in the paleozoic era could have easily made animals have a higher fitness which in turn allowed them to pass down their genes and so on. Hox genes are what allowed a fin to become a leg and so forth.

Big Bang Theory is a load of shit.
Things just don't blow up.
Where did it even come from?
Something had to have always been for anything to start.
Therefore, some form of higher "being" must have created it, whether it be "God" or whatever.
But then that leads into another question, Where did "God" come from? Maybe theres another "God" that created this one.
Bottom line is, science was obviously created by something we cannot understand.

The one thing in history that has likely caused the most human deaths certainly has done a hell of a lot of good.

research entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, then come back and argue more

over such unimaginable amounts of time, the almost impossible eventually will happen. a good example is throwing all of the pages of war and peace into the air. eventually they will land in the correct order, though could take a very very long time if it is possible, it will happen. kind of like the way everything on our planet works out.
