When I said that I was "Agnostic no more," I meant it. I seriously do believe in a higher power. Now I think that the time has come for me to explain why I decided to believe in God. This post is a little long so I will understand if you only read the parts that interest you. I will try to answer everyones questions, but I think that I will have many responses.
Here we go:
1. The Theory of Evolution:
Evolution can be proven. There are facts to support it, and it is a possibility that we did evolve from Apes. So this is what I think God did. God made man, except it wasn't man. It was an ape, for God time is not relative. So before God knew it the First Human had been born. All because he/she wasn't paying attention.
And about the Dinos, creatures like that are described in the Bible. Plus whose to say that apes were the first thing that God made?
2. Purple Squid Monkey:
First of all science says that it is impossible for such a thing to exist. But humans are not evolved enough to know that God doesn't exist. When science can reveal that God never existed in the first place I will become an atheist. In the meantime I have decided to have faith in the unknown, which I believe to be God.
3. The Big Bang:
I support the Big Bang theory the most out of all of these theories. What better way to move a mountain then to blast it with Dynamite? So God, in an attempt to be efficient, created a huge explosion that is still going on today. That's when some of the evolution stuff kicked in. God didn't create every little particle he made the general stuff; apes, dirt, water, and the universe with one big bang.
4. Faith and Science:
From my understand (thanks to a certain atheist) having faith in science is different then having faith in God. I understand this and support it. As long as you have faith (not a belief) in something your good to go.
5. Faith Healing, Evangelists, Miracles, and Praying:
Faith healing is fake, no one can do that except God. Evangelists are a result of something that wasn't intended, I refuse to call someone a heathen just because they don't believe in God. Miracles may or may not exist, they might happen... How would you know if a miracle had occurred?
I will pray to God because it makes me feel good, that and he doesn't interrupt me while Im talking.
6. God is all knowing so he already knows whose going to heaven and whose not:
Errr. No. This is where the bible screws up. God is all knowing but somehow I doubt he knows how many blades of grass are on my front lawn, and that he probably doesn't care about how many blades of grass there are, just that there is grass.
God doesn't know whose going where and why until you get to heaven (or whatever it might be). The reason for this is because if God made everything then he would know that he had already created the universe, created man, and done all of this other stuff before he did it. So what was the point in doing that? He cannot be all knowing (note: I am not at the point where I can fully explain this without confusing myself and everyone else)
7. The Age of The Universe:
Through carbon dating and other means we can see how old the universe/earth is. These cant be disproved, it is scientific fact. But what if I told you that to God time wasn't relative? What if this morning when God woke up (if he does sleep) the Crusades had just ended, and when he went to bed all that Hitler crap was happening? To God time is not relative. If God made everything then its very thought provoking that maybe he took up those first few billion years making other civilizations.
I hope that Ive answered all of the really interesting questions that Ive been asked. And that Ive answered them in a clear way that you can understand. Science is never at fault, God is never at fault, humans are never at fault, but its through understanding that we will find the truth.
Whoever you are and whatever you believe in I wish you the best of luck finding out the truth for yourself. Thank you for reading this. Oh and Vote for me, if you want.
