God created the world in 7 days? or Big Bang?

[Most Wanted]

It feels good to live in this world even though its violent and dangerous - we still search for peace in our life. All the wars and disrespect and violence is getting out of hand. You either have to live a positive life and stay holy or live a bad life and be evil. We don't have much time - so we have to get our life right as soon as we can. When we die, we will either live for eternal life peacefully in Heaven or suffer with torment in fire. So love as much as you can.
Even relationships are getting out of hand, you just have to learn when build a relationship, that you need to realize Love is a brick and respect is cement. Keep building it up no matter what & keep living positive in the cruel world no matter what.

And those religious explanations come down to "God used the [insert scientific theory of choice] to create the universe" and then topple into the Chasm of Fail. If a scientific theory explains something adequately, adding God to it in reality adds nothing, except perhaps some comfort to a person who is uncomfortable with a universe that does not know who he is or care.

You do realize that there is more then just 1 or 2 religions in the world right? What about religions were there is no gods or gods are not important like Buddhism? When it comes down to it, religions are just philosophical ideas that groups of people share. I would advise you do some research on just what religions are out there.

Don't forget Taoism, Shintoism and in some interpretations even Hinduism and Jainism.

[Samuraikoku]

Did I say that all religions do that? No, I said that those religious explanations that use the scientific method to try to explain things always seem to come down to "God did it using science."

Which tells a lot about their supposed faith. At least Urban VIII had conviction to oppose Galileo.

[Surfistan]

Okay, but besides that?

Solipsism.

Imagine that, a guy sitting in a room thinking he created the entire universe. Wow.

That's nice. What does this have to do with the subject?

Heaven doesn't exist, neither does Hell.
Your post is just none sense.

I think it was more than he had no real choice. They were friends you know.

True.

[The Lost Souls]

I believe in both. Seven days might have been millions of years and God could have used evolution in some ways to make us and the world. So the Big Bang could have been made by him. That is my idea anyway.

So were Henry II and Becket. Changes in station are hell on friendships.

When he opposed, he didn't say "okay, but science and God!". He said "BUT GOD!"

That's my point.

Why is god a 'he'?
Yes, let's start with that.
Also, prove 'he' exists.

I don't know if God is a he, it came out that way. I just believe that he is there and aren't alone.

The world has its own belief but atleast expect something great and marvelous to happen - Treat everyone right & live positive thats all.

Im glad to see protestant heretic and atheist alike finally recognize our work.

So, you have no proof and all you have is blind faith?

Yep, basically. I'm not hurting anyone by believing. I just like having some hope that there is God. You live life and help people when you can.

So you believe in science, but with god added on. What does god add to that equation?

A sense of satisfaction that comes from imagining your religion as being the right one.

Hope for what?

Hope for what?

That a mythical sapient creature floats in the sky with his wand.

Hope for what? That the universe was created by the most hilariously inefficient sociopath ever?

My question aims at other angle. What hope can you get from God supposedly existing?
