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.
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.
But it's not only the human being, it's earth itself. Everything (including the universe) is so complex that (in my opinion) it's absurd to believe that all this is the result of the "Big Bang". It's not only the complexity, but also the fact that earth is beautiful: water, trees, mountains, grass, and as such I believe it must have had an "architect and builder" (a creator).
I would also like to say that just because we can't see something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, although of course, at the end of the day it's all a question of beliefs.
Anyway, that's basically the reason why I believe in God. I probably didn't explain it properly but I hope you understand me.
(translation by segosa)
its funny, i have the exact opposite view, all those things you mentioned, the complexity of humans, the univirse, and so on, i feel are all part of a cosmic balance.
if there really is a "creator god" why is there so little "proof", other then hearsay and passed down writings, and another thing, why is there so meny different "gods". one (or more) for every religion. if so, which is the true god, and which one made everything, they can't all have done it, and if they did, why doesn't every religion mention them all.
it all just has too meny holes, unlike science, which is based purly on fact
