When there are so many things to believe in and put your faith in, which one is the ultimate choice? How can we surely know? Someone of your faith would tell you: just have faith and put your faith fully in God.[Nook said:

O How dare he speak about his religion in a thread about religion!) and you believe that Christianity is the only true faith, and they did not believe in it, they would be wrong.I'm saying, do we just think the earth is perfect and amazing, because our minds are just that small and unable to comprehend anything greater?Bacon Boy said:It depends on what they believe.

The next two are personal. It's a matter of do you believe in your faith? Do you whole-heartedly, completely, believe in it?

Ghosts: A universally understood fact about ghosts is that they are undead and unsettled souls, wandering around in the physical [plane]. I assume you're a Christian based on what you are saying, correct me if I'm wrong. My consideration of ghosts are demons being themselves (deceitful and distracting). You see, when you begin to put your time and mind into the occult such as ghosts, you lose sight of God. Possessions, like in the Exorcist movie, are evil spirits, or demons, inhabiting people that are either willing, or in such a state that they unconsciously allow demons to inhabit them. Much like the noise in TWEWY.

Creation: Even scientists have proved the Bible to date back to the AD period, before we had many of the scientists that could see into space or theorize certain theories. The universe could not have just have existed forever without some sort of creator. IN more modern, easier to understand terms, think of it like a building. A building does not just randomly appear, it has to have someone build it, and mold it, and create it. Yes, the universe is incomprehensible, but so is the idea of a divine creator. It takes more faith to believe in the "big-bang theory" or evolution than it does Christianity or any other religion. A random explosion in the universe creating the perfect and ideal living conditions for organisms as well as putting organisms on that planet as well? There is no science or reason or logic to that, even though the pursuers of that theory say so. I am not saying there is a science to Christianity, for it is more of a spiritual matter, not a physical matter. You can't create something perfect (the earth) by chance.
~
Connection: It depends. I have had several instances in which I have survived through miracles or even some divine intervention. How can you go though some of the things I've been through and not believe in God or a god. (Thinking to myself. I'm not going to state everything in a post). It is like having a personal connection with a parental figure, just on a more intimate and spiritual level. It is be both, however. You feel some of the connection in your emotions, but also through your mind and heart.

The earth, theoretically, is perfect in design. Its position from the sun, its living conditions, its orbit, etc. There is no other planet exactly like it. Our minds are finite. We cannot comprehend things that are outside of the finite and physical universe. It may play a small factor in how we view the earth, but not that great of a factor.Rocketman said:<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;"></div>I'm saying, do we just think the earth is perfect and amazing, because our minds are just that small and unable to comprehend anything greater?Bacon Boy said:It depends on what they believe.

I'm just thinking way too much about it. I hate it.
But the universe is SO huge, chances are if the "big bang" did happen randomly, there would be a planet in exact perfect condition for life. Not being anti-religious or anything, just saying that since the universe is so big, nothing is certain.Bacon Boy said:The earth, theoretically, is perfect in design.
