So why do people still believe in god?

It's impossible for science to prove there is no God. I'm sure people have their reasons as to why they believe what they do.

And thus they prefer to live and believe in a lie...this is beyond my comprehension.

I don't see why so many people around here feel the need to disprove it. And even when they try, there is no way as Marisa points out.aliens1234

...I mean,science has proved there is no god right?wii4panta

...I mean,science has proved there is no god right?I am not flaming but I just wanna know.What makes you believe in god?wii4panta

Science hasn't proved the inexistence of any God.

I believe in God beause I want to. I want to believe in God because I feel like there is one. Not a more simpler answer than that.

Of course.But there are many exaggerations inreligion that lead this kind of faith to being unreasonable.And that is why I dont wanna believe in god.Although I was born achristian,facts,apart from science,have led me to the conclusion that there is no god but I may be wrong.That's why I ask what makes them believe in god.

I don't quite know what you're getting at but while there is nothing wrong with believing in God or not, it is to have someone impose their beliefs on others. And on being an optimist - you haven't met me.

Why do people care?PickGlove243

Because religion plays such a large role in everyday life?...In America.

I never said there's anything wrong with what they believe. I just wish I had some sense of meaning. That's all. I consider the belief of a greater good/reason of living pretty optimistic. That's not an insult to religion or anything. I just wish I had that feeling. Which I don't.wemhim

I never said I'm 100% in belief either :P I can only say Im Catholic because that's what my parents are - but I haven't been to church in years, would not consider myself particualrly religious, or apply religion to my every day actions. But if someone asks me I'll just say Catholic - I just don't care to find a category that I fit in really.

You are meant to type like this. Yes, like that.

Not like this.Yea,not like that.You get me ?

Not arguing there.If you ask a child though if it believes in god,it's going to say yes because it's parents have affected it.That's the problem from my point of view.That kid doesnt believe in god to find happiness.It believes in god cause it has been told to.That's humanitys problem today.We believe in where we've been told to believe.That's another issue but it's kind of similar to the way some people believe in god.On the other hand I am sure other people believe in god for the reasons you stated.But if you ask me the people who believe in god for no reason is the majority.

Have you ever thought of Why you think Science has proved Religion wrong? Maybe because you are actually taught about it and not the other?It also answers your recent comment about kids believing god because they told so.

Religion can easily disprove Science as Science can disprove Religion. BTW I dont have a religion but I dont waste time trying to prove it right or wrong as it will gain me nothing but hate.

Its easy to argue that god hasn't been disproven. Just because blibical facts are being disproven doesn't mean much. Who wrote the bible? Men... Luminouslight

If the bible isn't true, then why follow it? Christians cherry pick things in the bible that sounds good, and ignore the rest...

A great example is the extinction of dinosaurs and the big bang theory. Im not saying any of that is wrong, In fact I would side with the Scientific ideas over religion but it is picked and selected then studied upon.

"Science has proven there is no God"

LMFAO

Oh dude, you kill me. God is supernaturaly, science can only prove things that are 1) in the natural 2) not too complex for our understanding. Just think about it;)

Leaving the bad? What's the "bad" in science? Everything is studied upon..

The bad mostly fills the proven wrong theories. People at one point studied upon the world being flat.

The only difference between then and now is that now we can directly prove many of our theories, and make them close to rock solid. Religions, on the other hand, can't prove anything at all.

I don't think they've proved it yet dude.... I don't believe in itpersonally, but it's kind of....Not proven.wemhim

Dude, you treat "science" like it's some sort of authority. Science is the revealed truth through the eyes of men, thus it is subject to change at any time. Science has been changing all throughout history, primarily because humans have more pride than they do brain power. So next time you say "science", think "current human perception". elmo90

You can't compare the close-to non-existent science from the middle ages to the science of today.Science was still in it's cradle at that point...

But what I meant about the Earth is flat theory is that one thing can drastically change many or the outcome. For today Global Warming can be an issue of non exsistence( I believe global warming is real) but one day a new study could prove it right or wrong.
