When I look up at the stars or when I think about how intricate the human body is I can't help but know there is a God. Can anyone truly explain how the universe came about? Nope. You have to believe whatever you feel most connected to. I personally feel that a higher being fashioned the universe, the earth, me...I'm not the type person to tell you that you are going to hell if you don't believe what I believe. I may very well be wrong, but for me, I don't feel that I am. The Bible is a book of stories, some real, some meant to teach. If me and 5 other people read the parables, there is a very good chance that we each would take a different lesson from them. That's the point. The Bible is tailored for different people with different perpectives. Did Adam and Eve exist? I have no idea, but the lesson is there. The Bible never says how old the earth is and also mentions the existence of dinosaurs. To respond to a question about priests molesting kids...humans have free will to do what they want. They have every freedom to do bad things like that...to murder...to rape...but we also have every right to do extraordinary things. If free will didn't exist, we would all be followers of a God that created us. Instead, I believe that God gave us a choice to believe or not to, to interpret how we want to. When I die, if I was wrong about God, I led a good life full of love for people, myself, and a belief that made me a better person. All you need is love.
