[QUOTE="jking197"][QUOTE="SonKev"][QUOTE="Velocitas8"][QUOTE="123625"]Two choices. Either you are the result of intellegence and design (this could mean something guided evolution) I can accept something like that if it happened.
Or some how the we came into existence unguided and are the result various random mutations.
And so what if god is eternal? Its got nothing to do with the subject at hand here.

Indeed it's straying from the topic at hand, but I just find it laughable that someone would think the first option is any more logical and reasonable than the second.
If we're all the result of "Intelligent design," from where does this intelligent being that created us originate? Everything must have a beginning, right? Does God just appear in to existence at one point? Did some other being create him?
Obviously you don't have the answer, nobody does. Just something to think about. And no, I'm not an Atheist.. I used to consider myself a (non-denominational) Christian, actually. Guess I'd be considered Agnostic now.
God has been there forever, He created time and beginning, and is not bounded by them. God is supernatural, I know its very hard to understand and accept, but we arent given all the answers and even if we were, would we understand them...? We dont come close to even fully understanding our own brain, and it is a material we actually have...
I very sorry you are in a possition of unsureness, but I do have an amazing verse for you. God says;
Isa 55:8-9
8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways ," says the LORD.
9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
NKJV

Oh, so you were there when "god" created the universe? You were there when he created time? Hahah, you do realise god didn't write or dictate the bible?
We don't know if thats how it happened at all. We beleive it happened like that, just like some people beleive the big bang occured, but they werent around, how does it make it fact if it wasnt observed?
It recquires faith.
And god Inspired the bible through the holy spirit.
You talk about god like you were actually there. How can you base your life on a 2000 year old book that gets revised so many times to make it seem less violent. I bet you didn't take a leap of faith, you were more than likely brainwashed since birth. That's not faith, nor choice. I can't take a leap of faith because to me it's like believing a fairytale, there's no proof.
