Do you believe in God? Why or why not?

[TripolySunni]

Something I noticed in my short time here in this thread, is that the Atheist who is supposed to come from the Ratinal grounds and is supposed to be scientific as opposed to the us barbarians and is supposed to have no prejudice as opposed to the religious person who supposedly has it, This Atheist uses almost Only EMOTIONAL arguments such as:
-Why are some people born blind?
-Why is there InJustice in the world?
-Why didn't God send prophets to the Americans?
-Why is there so much suffering in the world?
.
.
.
Now the funny thing is that all the above questions do not prove that there isn't a God. ( Although he did send Prophets to the Americans and there is Justice for all creation). But those questions are from people who have the wrong idea about Life and its purpose.

Any way I came across some interesting info that I never knew before. A famous Swiss Mathematician called charles Eugene Guye was studying the Mathematical possibility of one single protein molecule as having come into existance by chance, And the probability was 10 to the power of 265 and that amount of matter needed would have been millions of times bigger than the known universe (which is supposed to be expanding) and the amount of time that it would have taken would be 10 to the power of 160 times the Length of the existance of the universe as we know it.
Now Statisticians ( people who deal with statistics) Unianimously Agree that any number which is 1 to the power of 100 is so improbable that it is considered impossible.

That is just one molecule, now how about a child which has 16 million ORGANIZED molecules which function together to produce a heart and a brain and lungs? what's the probability of that? If that happened it surely would have been a miracle ;)

Another guy French mathematician Denoy also spent time calculating the laws of probability for the formation of a single complex molecule to be formed by pure chance. He calculated that it would require billions of years. He concluded the following: “One molecule is of no use. Hundreds of millions of identical ones are necessary. Thus, we either admit the miracle or doubt the absolute truth of science.”

Yet we have people like this, Nobel Prize winner Dr. George Wald, from Harvard University, stated the following: “One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet, here we are as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation.” :D

"Religion is sort of like a lift in your shoes. If it makes you feel better, fine. Just don't ask me to wear your shoes."
- George Carlin

"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you."

Ah Good old George,
God is Unlike Us He is Surely Not a Human Nor a creation but a Being which transcends creation otherwise he would need a creator himself.

Religion does Give a Purpose and definition to life while giving a Comforting feeling.

This has a long philosophical reply.
I'll resume it with the following:
Human created gods for everything they feared or couldn't logically accept.
Until few people came and told them that there is only one god.

True, that's the positive side of religions.

Do you believe in God? Why or why not?

actually i don't know how to answer this question

i just don't like religion , and don't like to talk about religion (except if i wanna p*ss off someone on purpose)

i prefer to leave god alone and for him to leave me alone
all i saw from this world is that religion is a way of control

[Robin Hood]

I believe in God because I believe that this world, which has a very complicate system, must have been designed by an intelligent being.

[Frisbeetarian]

Nobody created God, He isn't a creation he is The Creator which is Un-Created.

If god doesnt need a creator, why do we need a creator?

I was pleasantly surprised to find out this thread was reopened.
I have a serious question I hope every one answers it with a brief explanation:
Do you believe in Ehad?
