[quote="Old Reliable":27aa4][quote="Bean 2":27aa4]I myself am agnostic which means that I dont follow any religion but I still believe that their is a God. I cant understand people who think that there is no god and they call themselves atheist. There has to be some higher power who created the universe. It all had to come from somewhere, and yes science can explain the earths creation, but what about before that. Like was said before, the bible only tells stories that shouldnt be taken literally. I dont criticize anyone for believing in a religion but it annoys me when they try to push their religion and beliefs on other people which I think alot of Christians do. The rest of my family are Catholics, yet they dont go to church and from what I see they dont pray. How can you call yourself anything if you dont practice what the religion is based on. And Ive never told them that im agnostic because I know that they would try to convert me back to Catholicism. Believe in what you want but dont force your beliefs on me.[/quote:27aa4]

a higher power creating the universe is beyond comprehension and is only a dream. it would totally deny all scientific findings to this date. how can you believe in something that doesn't exist or doesn't matter? and why need to worship something when it doesn't seem to give you benefits. (my opinion) if a god really paid attention to everyone, then why do good people die? (oh it was just his/her time) oOo:[/quote:27aa4]

The universe in itself is beyond comprehension but science has no explanation for when it all began. Something had to be created to start a chain reaction to forge the universe. So who created that first thing that sparked the chain reaction. Im sure it wasnt put there out of nowhere. Someone or something had to create at least the beginning of the universe. And who has proven that god doesnt exist? No one. And to answer your question on why good people die...Ive often asked myself this question. But you have to realize that no person is truely good. Yes there are people that are better then others but everyone sins. No man is perfect so according to this no person is really good. Christians believe that the only perfect man is Jesus, which like i said before, I dont believe. I dont deny the existence of Jesus, I just dont believe he is the son of God.
