Michael Baisden shared a post today that said, "the greatest sin a man can make is to believe that which does not have evidence." And of course this started a debate on belief in God vs. atheism. So I chimed in...
"Well, then that scraps the big bang theory. .. which cannot be proven. And also the theory that all life developed from single-celled organisms... which came from the big bang right? And these single-celled organisms just somehow "knew" (without brains) that they should start forming into creatures with arms, legs, and brains... and these brains just had to have logic and a sense of greater purpose because? The reason why we aren't all just animals eating grass and crapping on ourselves is because some single-celled organisms "decided" (without brains) that humans would be special and have "almost divine" thought.... yep I can see how all that is believable and can be proven...
Yup.
Try this. Faith is what separates us from a speck of dirt on the ground... The desire for justice is proof that we have been created by someone who is just. Love is proof that we are not just scientific. Compassion proves we are capable of being inspired by a feeling that we get (but cannot see). And ignorance is proof that we have something to lose.
I know God is real because He has been actively involved in my life and the lives of others I know since day one.
I'd rather believe we were created with purpose and see time and again that God has shown up and helped in my life... than believe some big bang left all of life to chance and that all of the various kinds of life, from humans to beetles, and all their different colors and shapes and even abilities... are just flukes of a nature... a nature created by chance..." from a big bang that came from what?
