Amazing to think that some people say we are the only planet with life on it ;D

If you look at ALL the factors needed on our planet alone to support life as we know it, it's amazing life exists at all. What amazes me, is some people are not amazed by the wonder of planet earth, and believe sky fairies created it all :(

That's great.

Interesting... I happen to believe in God, and personally, it find it a lot more difficult to believe that world around us happened as a 'coincidence of epic proportions'. In my own opinion, there must be some greater force at work - whatever that happens to be...

I don't necessarily believe that God made the world in 7 exact days, or that every biblical word is to be taken literally, which is partly why I don't go to church anymore as so many christians are spoon fed stories and take them (excuse the pun) as gospel! They don't like it much when you question them, and point out any number of inconsistencies in the factual, and spiritual points raised in the bible!

Mind you, people dont like it much when I question anything full stop.... :P

SF, why do you belive in God?

Is it the science is too much to take in, and believing in God is easier?

What greater force can you need than evolution?

Not taking the piss or trying to start a bustup...shorty :) Just interested in why people feel the need to believe in something that has no basis in fact.

Evolution is only a theory... One that I happen to belive in I might add.

I actually think science and religion can exist side by side, but you have to take different parts in context of historical timelines and facts.

I have a number of reasons for believing in God, none of which I'm going into on here btw! I don't believe the bible word for word though - it was written by men after all, and the bible itself says that there are no perfect men.... If there were, we wouldn't need God!

I don't believe in god but when I got into a tank slapper at 90mph, on the wrong side of the road with a lorry coming towards me there was only 1 'person' I was asking for help and it wasn't Charles Darwin.

Common misconception, scientific theories are mostly proven facts. Evolution whilst a scientific theory, is also fact.
I wonder when god created dinosaurs, did he do that in his own image too?
