Of course it did. However, they doesn't necessarily mean there was a creator in the sky. Using that logic I could ask you who created God. If it was possible for God to always exist, why wouldn't it be possible for elements in the periodic table to always exist?
The human brain doesn't seem able to undertstand the realm of something that is infinite because all we know are things that start and end.
I believe evolution, natural selection, and genetic mutation are all plausable explanations for our existence. I do not believe in the following:
An invisible man in the sky
A devil with horns and a pitchfork
People that lived to be 900
Talking snakes
People that lived in whales
Virgin births
And that's fine. I don't put anyone down for their beliefs. I was raised Christian and live in the middle of the Bible belt. As a child, people threaten you with hell and make you feel guilty if you even question it so a lot of people blindly believe and are afraid to do their own research.
I never believed any of it and when I really actually read the Bible I 100% didn't believe. The more I read of the bible, the more far fetched it becomes. Slavery, murdering children, and stoning women...it's all in there but they don't teach those versus at church.
I've studied all sorts of different religions....Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc. There are thousands of them and they all believe a little differently and all of them think they are 100% right. Using basic statistics, even if one religion was right, that means 99.9% of them are wrong. So I've come to the conclusion that they're all wrong. If you're a Christian, you're an atheist with respect to Islam. I just believe in one less God than you.
Don't you think it's weird that about the time the human race could start filming and recording stuff all these miracles of God quit happening? Like, people quit living in whales and living to be 900 and shit. What are the odds?
If God existed, don't you think you would walk outside and see all sorts of supernatural shit every day?
If God created everything, that means he created tornadoes, hurricanes, diseases, etc. What a horrible diety. Children die every minute or are born with diseases and disabilities....why does this happen?
Also, the idea of free will is BS. I didn't have a choice if I was born. I didn't choose my parents. I didn't choose my genetics or race. Having to worship something you can't see or burn in hell for eternity isn't a choice. It's an ultimatum.
Nothing against Christians. There are a lot of good ones out there. I just don't believe in it for thousands of reasons. I feel like all the Gods we have today are no different then ancient Greek mythology Gods. You don't believe in Zeus, Athena, or any of the other Gods out there. Neither do I....I don't believe in yours either.
We can pray all we want during this disaster but another is still going to happen and innocent people will suffer for no reason.
