My opinion
Nimbus:
Religion is an interesting topic, merely because of the fact that man is incapable of accepting that other people believe in other things. If we could all respect each others opinions without starting wars, the world would be a better place.
I personally don't believe in god, and the reason I think most people do, is that the intricate cycle that makes up our universe is so complex, it would only make sense that a higher being made it. It also may give comfort to some people for an after life. I believe that the universe has slowly over time evolved into what it is now, a perfect complex cycle of elements and life.
I do not know the answer about the universe and no one ever will, therefore I am not necessarily right. I am just putting my opinion out there.

Yes, the Bible is written by man to record events as perceived by man. I specifically said that it can't be that accurate due to man not actually knowing what happens on all levels of the universe, and has no way of knowing what happened before its own creation as scientists at this point can only measure physical records of the univers's past. I do like to use the Bible as a reference though as it is the most insightful work of man into the spiritual existance. Though not by any means thorough (sp?) it is all we really have.

So you're going to become atheist because you're to stupid to understand something? Make sense... oh wait, nope it doesn't

Aside from the last two comments and Maximum's thing, and the tldr's, I thank you all for the surprising amount civility on this topic.
