Ok, ok, I’ll concede that there seems to be no other logical explanation for the existence of creation other than an intelligent being creating it.  I also agree that there had to be a first cause to birth our universe, due to the laws of cause and effect; even a child can understand these things.  For scientists to ignore these truths is idiotic.

But I also wonder that if there truly is an intelligent being that you call God, why did he create us?  What is the purpose for human beings?  And please don’t give me the same old story that I’m special to God and God loves all of us.  I want to know why a God felt that he needed to create lowly human beings who suffer for 70 years and then die for nothing.  It seems to me that its senseless to create beings who live only a short time compared to time itself, most of us suffering all our lives in some degree or another.  Please tell me why a so-called loving God would do this.

Pastor Roger, you shouldn’t believe that we’ve met before because we haven’t; I don’t know you.  And why do you call yourself Pastor?  Are you a Pastor of a church right now?

I hope you all don’t mind me asking these questions.

thanks everyone

LittlePilgrim and Arpel,

I agree with you that Evolution cannot be proven, that it is only theory, and that just like religion it takes faith to believe in it.  But if both of you are admitting that science cannot prove the existence of God, why should I believe in a God??  You say that this creation couldn’t have come from nothing, so how do we know God exists other than creation itself?  

If one day walking down the street we happen to meet, in a sidewalk conversation how could you prove to me the existence of God?

You also made mention that only God can change hearts, but I would like to ask how do you account for those who change from a bad, degraded degree to that of something good and respectable in society, and this person changed their heart without a God?  I think we all might know someone who has done this without a God.

thank you

ok, I understand everything you're saying, that life had to originate somewhere, but with all due respect can you tell me in understandable terms where God came from?

thanks
