i am agnostic. i cannot prove one way or another, but i will tell you this, it will take nothing short of a miracle for me to say i KNOW god exists.
for now, i am perfectly content with saying i don't know, and i always will be. in my honest opinion, our universe is too magical (scientifically) too expansive, too unfathomable for us to believe there isn't a higher power of some sort, i just wont pretend to have any idea to know what it is, and i wont live my life blindly to follow the possibility that the guesses we have made are correct.
no the bible is not factual, and don't try to say it is. Joe Rogan got it right, even a retarded child would have issues with stories like Adam and Eve, or Noahs Ark. does that mean that its ALL bullshit? no. for the most part the bible leads a lot of people (generally the ones without much power and influence) to live good lives, treat each other well, and not be a menace to society. there's nothing bullshit about that. can it be used for war? shit yes, it always has and always will, but that doesn't mean its not capable of good.
a knife is a tool in one mans hand, and a deadly weapon in anothers. religion is no different. i personally dont need a book (or religion for that matter) to show me the difference. some might.
religious nuts (and non-nuts) aside, the scientists among us need to calm down as well. the big bang, possibilities of life in other systems/galaxies, none of these things disprove god. in my opinion they only further prove it, something had to get the ball rolling imo. as far as evolution goes, its neither here nor there. you think that something capable of creating what we know as the universe and existence is capable of planning out a 'development' path for its creation? it may have all been planned out.... again though, i don't know, and i wont pretend to. to each his own.
