Meh, I'm agnostic, but I am completely open to others opinions. I dunno, I'm utterly and completely lost right now.
creation has a much better plot than the "scientific"- (if thats how it's written) creation of life..
Science is my tool and God is my light.
I'd consider someone who has no idea what they believe (where they are) and are just as confused about what to choose (where they're going) to be lost. Very lost, in fact.
Science is a super-literal phenomenon.
It is precise and unmistakable.
None of that "stop thinking" crap please. It's like telling someone to be stupid for the sake of complacency.
That's the big thing here. Religion and science have nothing to do with each other.
Science like everything else in the world is imperfect. It must be tried countless times to ensure a consent similar outcome and even after that it may be changed with the acquiring of new data.
God much like a scientific theory is founded on one big thing. No evidence against it has been found as of yet so the information can be seen as fact until a proof arises that says otherwise. Theories are like the flavor of the month. They can change or be proven wrong altogether.
Accepting evolution as science fact doesn't prove that there is no God, just that normal belief about the creation of humanity is wrong. Atheists often use the story of Adam and Eve as an argument saying that there is no possibility that we are all related to each other.
That is not entirely true. It’s accepted that in earth's past there was a large volcanic eruption that caused a large majority of human life to be killed off. This also gives a reason for why the human gene pool does not have much verity.
Humans are exactly the same except for the few genes that did not bind. This is called junk DNA and is what dictates how tall we will be, our possibility of birth defect, and appearance.
I'm not saying that this eruption proves that the story of Adam and Eve is true only that it is possible that a small (Small is used lightly in this context) amount of people made up our entire civilization.
Don't bring God into the debates of science just morality. Let science govern the world and let God govern your spirituality. I firmly believe that spirituality is needed in humanity. It helps us become more in tune with ourselves and the events around us.
God helps us explain ourselves and our nature, and science helps us explain everything else in the universe.
Einstein’s greatest goal was to simplify the entire universe into a 1 inch long equation.
Holy men and women's greatest goals are to show the world to be accepting, encouraging of others, and sympathetic.
I don't see any reason why we can't fulfill both
I can agree with this.
Besides, do some of you believe that your god would punish people that do not worship him but have lived a good life helping others. So that someone who has never harmed someone and never caused much trouble will be punished if he didn't believe but murderers and rapists that turned extremely religious will not be punished?
I'm catholic
But sometimes I have my doubts in my religion since one time that I REALLY needed God I prayed so much to him and he never listened to me. I was pretty upset at him since I needed help and he did not help me. So now I go to church
and everything but I just never pay attention so its like if i dont even go to church.
I am technically a Christian, but I am not religious in any way, shape or form. In all my fourteen years, not once have I had to go to church or listened to the Bible. Now, I'm not saying there isn't a God out there. Who knows? There may very well be a God or a God-like figure out there, watching over us and protecting us, deciding our fates and such. I, however, do not believe in this being. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, but that simply is my opinion.
I'm really not seeing what's so impossible about having science to explain physical things and religion to explain the spiritual.
It's not like a one-or-the-other type of thing, unless you take everything super-literally.
Besides, do some of you believe that your god would punish people that do not worship him but have lived a good life helping others.

Dantés de Divinity;3501921 said:The gates of heaven are opened by choosing to be a good person, showing true forgiveness, taking the blame for your more questionable actions, and asking for forgiveness.
You are not turned away to be sent to Hell because you don't believe in God. Those who could have done good but instead chose evil are sent to Hell.
If you are a good person because you want to be and not because you want some type of reward then you will go to Heaven.
God doesn't care if you believe in him or not just that you help your fellow man out of the goodness of your heart. He loves you no matter what you do and if you ask for forgiveness and truly mean it than you shall reap the same reward.
And do you believe that criminals that turned extremely religious will go to heaven atlas?
How can you be Christian and not believe in God? >.> I keep hearing things like this and it confuses me.
