    Free Will. I belive in God, and I belive he intervens when needed.....or Angels do.......whatever. My "proof" of God existing comes from this: If this planet came about from a bunch of "Space debris", and began swirling together, HOW did life come out so differently? Why arent we not one big glob of goo? (not saying there are not some out there that are much different from said glob of goo). Instead, We have MANY forms of life on this rock, that, for the most part, work in harmony together. From the smallest celled organisim, to the largest fish in the seas.

    yeah the world is crap because of people not because of God...we do have free will....God will not choose for us...we have to choose for ourselves what we do or don't do....that's what sucks about it all....cuz alot of people make the wrong choices....it's easy to do

    The difference between other religions and Christianity is that other religions are all about what can you do for God. Christianity is the only religion that is about what God has done for you!

    Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it isn't there. Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.

    yeah i just can't believe that this world and everything that works so perfectly with the weather patterns and animals etc. just came to be by chance....it's too perfect...i just have to believe it was created by God...otherwise it wouldn't work...why wouldn't earth be like the other planets and have no oxygen or life???...and things like we have exactly the right amount of oxygen we need to breathe...a little more we would die...a little less we would die.....

    he may protect you or he may not...we don't always understand what God's plan is...he may allow you to die and by your death it may lead someone else closer to him or lead them to do something to make the world a better place....you just never know...i mean you can't say believe in God and your life will never have any problems...that's not gonna happen....if it was that way everyone would believe in God just so they wouldn't get hurt rather than believing in him because of love and doing the right things

    Both sides of the argument have points that can't be "proven" or disproven. It takes nearly the same amount of faith to believe in the "Big Bang" or intelligent design. Unless someone has a Youtube video of the universe exploding into existence or God creating it, we're both relying on what we don't know for sure, i.e., faith.
