I don't buy ANY reason to believe in God. It seems to me that God is just an inability to cope with the starkness of life.
I believe in god, i dont see any other reason how we got here, the science doesn't make sense to me.
This is one of the shittiest reasons to believe in God.
"The science doesn't make sense"?
So basically you dismissed over a thousand years of enlightened scientific thought on the origin of life, the earth, and the universe by saying "it doesn't make sense?"
Sure, science doesn't have all the answers, but the scientific method is designed to slowly compile and increase the accuracy of human knowledge. Unlike faith, which based on immovable dogma.
I believe in a single god. I don't see how people cannot at least believe in a god, as the whole world is proof of it.
Oh, and the bible is not a 'novel' it was translated from plates, so unless all of the prophets were lying, I'm pretty sure it isn't just a fake.
Lol, and somehow we evolved from monkeys, yet while other animals that supposedly evolved from other animals do not still have their unevolved form, while we still do?
"The whole world" is proof of nothing. Try this. Assume first God does not exist. Then try to argue the existence of an unseeable, omnipotent, omniscient, ageless entity. Logically, there is NO reason to believe in God. Even if you couldn't explain the world any other way, an imperfect explanation is better than one that presupposes additional entities that are not disprovable. You could, by the same logic, argue that the entire state of human affairs proves that we are being controlled mentally by invisible Martians. There's no argument against the fact these invisible Martians exist other than the fact that it's absurd to believe in entities that cannot be detected.
Consensus != truth. Even if all the prophets honestly believed what they were saying, that doesn't mean they were right.
A. Most monkeys are rapidly going extinct.
B. Most "common ancestor" forms are gone.
C. Animals that have been unchanged by evolution are as they are because their environments are static, and thus will not significantly benefit from new adaptations. That is not to say they are perfect, they've just reached a "local peak" in their evolutionary path, where the minor changes wrought by random mutations are lost in the gene pool, as they do little to increase suriviability.
None.
