Hey man this is my first post so im not exactly sure where this is going to go, i just would like to respond to your thoughts. After reading your post, it seems that you do not believe in the christian god because there was one single beginning point to the universe, and christians only response to your argument is that we are complex therefore there must be a designer. These points dont line up therefore there must not be a god. To that, this is my response: There are many arguments for the existence of god, one of which is called the teleological argument, this is the argument you have described in your post, that god must exist because of the design and order found in the world. This can be a powerful argument, but you have raised doubts of god's existence because of the origins of the universe. The teleogical argument is not the proper argumnent for your doubts. I believe that the cosmological argument will better suit your doubts. This argument states that god exists because he is the ultimate cause of the universe. Basically what i am saying is that science has proved for many years that the universe has had a beginning point. Scientists have used the "big bang" argument to describe this beginning. I am ok with that, but things dont just pop into existence, something causes everything. Therefore, there must be something that is outside of time that has the ability to form and cause the universe to "pop" into existence. I believe that this force or being is or was god. I am not making concrete statements of gods existence, nor am i attempting to shove some sort of belief set down your throat, i am just trying to show you one of the reasons i believe in god. Oh, and i didnt mean anything by not ever capitilizing the g in god, i was just lazy. much love man.
i am not even upset about anyones views here, i respect how everyone feels.
