No, everything we don't understand can be explained through science, eventually, god is just a scapegoat for people to use to disguise their ignorance of knowledge.

No, everything you know cannot be explained through science.

Well, maybe everything you personally know can be, but there are things that go beyond science, and situations where science has to admit its current limitations.

I really don't know. I'm agnostic, and I never will make a decision because there is evidence to support either, and lack of evidence to go against either. There is really no way of knowing, because since everything is created by something, whatever the creator might be; science or God, had to also be created by something. It's all very confusing to me, and I think about it much too often. I am very open minded though.

No, I do not believe in "God." In my opinion, the Bible is essentially a storybook--a fictitious one at that. People take refuge in thinking that their virtuous actions in their mortal life will result in an eternity of rewards during their everlasting after life. I don't believe that's the case--I don't believe a divine being created reality...nor do I believe one even exists.

If God does exist, he must enjoy watching us kill each other as we inch closer to doom. Woo!

I'm really undecided. I'm not saying there is or there isn't but i think religion is pretty fucked up today. I mean terrorists blow themselves up for their 'religion' and priests have sex with little boys so i really don't know what to believe.

And did you know that there have been Christians who have broken the law? It's true, so clearly religion is evil incarnate!

I don't agree with any religion. I think that religion is corrupt, and if something has "rules;" I'm not talking morals or values like common sense where obviously murdering someone is wrong, but things like "you have to pray 3 times a day" or something, is just a method of control. I don't think any powerful being like God would need people to really worship him, you know? What would he gain, he has everything. Independant beliefs are different, where people serve God or whatever they believe in, in their own way, or whatever way they feel is necessary. It's really useless to debate about; The people who believe will not give up their faith, and those who don't are just as stubborn. No one knows, and no one will know. You can believe to the point where you believe that you know, but you will never know. 0.o Not while you are living, anyway. I just try to stay openminded and learn as much as I possibly can. Sometimes I feel less intelligent if I do believe in God, but then I feel ignorant if I don't believe... I'm not sure I will ever come to a stable decision. All I need to do, I think, is live the best that I can and accomplish what I feel needs to be accomplished while I am still here to do it. I hope I can put my mind at ease though, this topic is one that I think way too often upon.
