Something people often think about, including me. I do believe in God, however, we all know that you cannot prove God’s existence, or prove that God doesn’t exist.
In truth, we all have to make a choice based on evidence. We don’t have the complete picture, and we weren’t there at the beginning of time, so we can only have “faith” that whatever we choose is correct.
People that disbelieve in God, generally accept that the big bang started the universe (or a variety of big bang theory), and life evolved. However, please understand that this is a theory, and they can’t prove this any more than I can prove God exists. So they have “faith” it was all started by scientific measures, and God doesn’t exist.
I look at the evidence, and believe God works through science. In my opinion, religion without science is foolish, but at the same time, science without God is also not wise.
But the universe does have a beginning (at least according to most scientific theories). So if something has a beginning, that means it was created. If something was created, it had to have a creator.
However, God is the only thing that was not created. You can ask what created the universe, that is a logical question (because we know it had a beginning). But asking what created God is an illogical question, since God never had a beginning. The only thing that ever was —is God. So asking what created God is like asking how much does the color blue weigh (that is an illogical question, because blue is a color not a weight.)
So again, there is plenty of evidence for the existence of God, and sure there is evidence for scientific theories and laws as well. But you have to look at all the evidence, and realize that you have to make a leap of faith regardless of what you believe.
I believe God created the universe as the bible indicates. He used atoms, and the scientific laws that He created.
It works kind of like a computer. A computer really is useless by itself. It is just a bunch of electrical parts (matter), and it uses a binary system of 1′s and 0′s. That is all a computer really is made of.
However, a software writer can take those 1′s and 0′s and make definitions and arrange them in a way to mean something. For example, they can state that the arrangement of five 1′s and six 0′s equals blue. This is the basis of how computers are useful and we have webpages and software (and also why Bill gates is one rich dude).
This is the same way with genetics. It is just a big code, right? It tells our cells what to do, and how to do it. But who wrote the code? Who said this code equals blue eyes? Who made it come alive and replicate itself? I believe it was all God.
