"Do you Believe?"
Personally I think that all of this religion was made up 1000's of years ago...as i said earlier....as a political movement. I mean look at ireland...it is so divided because of religion...and they are all christians. Now as some of you said earlier...I agree that not everything is under the control of humans and there is a lot of stuff we can't explain YET. How was the universe started. If you believe in the big bang how did all that density get there in the first place. If you want to collectively define all of that as god than yes I will agree with you but I do not believe in a supernatural being or a heaven or hell or an afterlife for that matter. Religion is good for peace of mind I believe, and 1000's of years ago fear of a supernatural power like a god would keep people in line.
Also to those of you that are debating creation vs. evolution: Personally I believe in evolution because the theory is based on fact and careful observation. I've done a little bit of research and Darwin was a huge believer in the bible. I haven't read the bible myself but from what ive read the orginal Theory of Evolution does not disregard the bible. It actually goes along with it. That is just what i have read though, I have not read the complete theory of evolution nor have I completely read the bible.
