I find it funny now people believe in the Davinci code, but do not belive Jesus or God exsisted

It's not about whether or not Jesus existed, Jesus did exist, it's just wheter the stories about him that are true or not.

I believe a Jesus may have existed. But not in the way people 'remember' him today. To me, he was a road side magician or something.

I believe in God not only because I believe what the Bible says but also because I find it difficult to accept that earth's creation was a coincidence. If you look at it from a rational point of view it's impossible to explain how the first particle of matter was formed.

Obviously there's still many unanswered questions in science, but there's undoubtably some logical explanation for everything. I don't see any point in jumping to hasty conclusions and attributing these things to supernatural beings. Although I'd agree that the question of what created every necessary ingredient of the Big Bang is very mind-boggling one.

I believe that the human being is so complex (digestive system, respiratory system, and more importantly, our ability to think and reason, etc) that it's hard for me to imagine that it was all the result of a coincidence or a random formation of atoms. That's very unlikely according to the theory of probability.

Evolution might have gone from a singularity to scattered particles in space to complex human beings, but it's not like these things happened overnight.

Sure, if there was a god he'd be able to conceal himself relatively easily. But he might as well just step up and take some credit instead? E.g. leave a mere shred of hard evidence.

We can cure the common cold. We just can't cure every single new strain of it as soon as it appears. The common cold mutates into new strains _all the time_, it isn't just one virus.

I DO BELIEVE IN GOD AND CAN FEEL HIS PRESENCE INSIDE OF ANY HUMAN BEING.:)

i used to believe in god but i stopped believing at some point, for reasons that dont really concern you .

i mostly agree with time's huge post up there and shawnz's posts, so i dont really have much to add to the thread.

It's just kinda difficult to believe in something like god after you've been studying "advanced" physics and mathematics (just to give it a simple name ) for so long (like myself ).

Surely the human immune system is the cure for the common cold. Treatments for common colds are mostly symptomatic, and colds disappear not long after the emergence of the symptoms, no better than you can do with a "curable" disease.

Not that it really has anything to do with the meaning of life. Science is by definition a set of findings based on assumed premises, and this will indefinitely define its place in the world.
