I do
Truly do
Cause the universe must be under some greater control and power
I don't think that greater power cares about us or anything cause if I were that greater power taking care of the whole infinite universe, I wouldnt give a flying shit about little mankind

@rosalinas what would you define as a greater power?

@keepsake
Me

@mightyoak you go girl

*bows regally*

@keepsake literally as the name
Something, in any form, that knows a lot and is capable of things mankind can't understand nor imagine

Im agnostic leaning towards deist. If a god exists why would they worry themselves with our trivial bullshit. Something with infinite powers caring for something so insignificant and indirectly influencing their lives is a far fetched idea in my opinion.

@rosalinas
But what has it done/can it do? Do you believe it created the universe,or is it the universe? Is it some kind of presence?
The condundrum that the idea of a greater power presents, is that on one hand we as humans assume we can't comprehend its powers/capabilities, but on the other hand that is an assumption that can only be made by humans. On our planet, we are the only species capable of rational thought and communication. Why should we assume that a greater power (if there is one) is also capable of this. What factor that you have noticed on earth indicates that this might be the case?

I think it creates and controls the universe
Not like control everything but keeps things in line
Like you keep your cup of coffee on the table and not pushed away by the cat
Also why do we always believe we are the only creature that is capable of realizing or wondering this
The universe is infinitive so alien must exist
Maybe they know/ believe
And even more than us

Nothing
I would say I believe in a greater power cause it conforms me

I'm of the opinion that if there is an omnipresent being that it has better things to do than muck about with the likes of us. And if an omnipresent being does decide to involve itself, we'll endure what we percieve as torment for a reason we can't possibly understand or even comprehend. Perhaps we just lack the means to observe the observer, and despite claims that say they know there is an observer, there is no definite proof proving the existence of such a sentinel. If there is a God such as one biblically, or even in any other form, such as islamic, or the greek/roman pantheon, then they are a contradicatory being(s) with a penchant for inflicting willing and uncaring harm upon humans. I am rather comfortable in the belief that if there is a god or godlike being, we are better off with it being the neutral and impartial watcher than it being involved in our lives.

I believe in Jesus Christ and God and the Holy Spirit (the Holy Trinity) of the Bible. All the research I have done of scientific studies and seminars on the topics surrounding Christian religion and atheism have continued to back up my world view of young earth creationism. Not to mention the fact that I have heard of countless miracles being performed in Jesus' name today, and my life has been forever changed by His love for me. I have made it my mission in life to spread the Good News of the Gospel to as many people as possible, through all that I do, in the hopes that they will accept Jesus as their saviour too, so they may be saved from eternal damnation in Hell.

I have never believed in any higher power, and I used to find it quite silly that so many people do. I still don't understand why people would want to be religious, but it's their right to do so, as long as they don't harm anyone. I am very much against religious schools however, because you are denying your children so much knowledge. Give them all the facts, and let them decide for themselves whether or nor they want to believe in your god(s)

I can say the same. I am very much against teaching only one world view in schools, like evolution, which they do in most schools today, even though evolution requires, by definition, supernatural events to have occurred. Give students all the facts, then discuss with them the different world views (e.g. creationism or evolution), and how each side interprets the facts, so that they can make an informed decision as to which side they believe in.

I had a biology teacher in grade 11 and 12 who was a huge Christian, so he taught both at the same time. He was awesome

Yay!

I personally am I strong atheist, but Im not one of THOSE atheists who say 'Atheist? I prefer the term scientist'. Im open to different opinions and am always up to debate it

He was such an awesome teacher that he actually allowed me to bring in a Sega genesis in order to play mortal kombat against him. Hell, our yearbook has a picture of me battling him, he's so awesome.
Plus, he introduced me to skillet :D

@sublimegamer what supernatural events have to have occured for evolution to make sense to you? Because I believe in evolution and I don'f believe in supernatural events

No because I have prayed and prayed and never once received an answer

@yimmye well, there's abiogenesis, life coming from non-life; and energy being created or appearing from nothing (at the start of the universe), which disobeys the first law of thermodynamics. The word "supernatural" (in one sense) means something happened that cannot be explained within the laws of nature. On top of this, there are many scientifically and mathematically impossible probabilities that the evolutionary theory relies on, such as amino acids evolving and forming left-handed proteins, essential for life. It is a belief in the supernatural, just like creationism, and to call the old-age earth belief 'fact' is a detriment to science.
