Do you believe in God? Simple question

[sport_122]

I want to believe that there is something up there and that when I pass away I am not gone forever and ever. Which I am deathly afraid of. Scares me right now just typing it.

But, evolution is everywhere and it looks to be the correct belief.

Evolution should not be looked at as a belief. It is a scientific theory that gives a suggestion as to HOW. Faith in the existence of a transcendent God (all powerful, and not fully known or understood) does not necessarily give a HOW.

For instance: you believe that birds exist, but it doesn't tell you how they fly. Or you believe that cars are real but that doesn't tell you how they work or what they do.

I agree with Geoff and as a believer I do not doubt evolution in most cases (there are several different versions of evolution) I think there are HUGE holes in the theory, but I believe there are some valid points. But until a complete fossil record is found then nobody can even say that evolution is 100%, we can just say there is evidence.

Also, my world view does not lead me to believe we have a free will. I believe we have the ability to make choices, but not a free will. For instance, in a multiple choice question, you have the option to select A, B, C, or D. You cannot select F unless it is given as a possible answer. So even in your ability to make choices, your options are limited as well. And what gets even crazier is that choices made apart from us dictate how we will establish our choices. Pointing back to some causal event that began the process of responses and decisions which will echo and place us where we are to be. But i digress free will cannot logically exist in the finite and only in the infinite can 1 free will logically exists. I believe that 1 will governs and establishes all universal laws which is why our universe is seen as consistent and predictable when we observe it.

Did you seriously type ALL that to my PERSONAL opinion about MY beliefs? Get a fucking life loser. I don't care what YOU believe. I did not type anything to get involved into a religion debate. I stated what I feel like is going to happen.
