This thread is just gonna be a shitstorm. My final words would be that, whether you believe or not is not the point, it's how you live your life. If you follow an ideal blindly, not matter what it is, you will only do harm to yourself and others. I think people with brains and reason can find a nice average for what they believe, and make sense of it in their own way. I believe in God, but not religion or the bible. I instead take the GOOD ideals from the bible (and Buddhism, fuck that shit is waaaay ahead of Christianity) and apply it to my life to make my life better and to make me a better person. If I don't follow it all precisely, or do everything it says, I don't think I'm going to hell. We're human, and we're not perfect, that is the whole point. We learn on our own.
Dude, the universe is so big that we can't even begin to imagine or comprehend it's size, it's ever expanding. I think that in that entire vast area, with everything constantly changing, it is possible that by random chance, something happened here that began a pattern, and things followed that pattern and that's how we arrived where we're at now. The climate was hospitable for life, it began, evolved, etc.
