[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It makes no sense that life exists. It makes no sense that rocks exist for that matter. We all got here somehow.  And that is why even very logical people believe in God. But it's just something that ypu know us true in your heart.[/quote]

Why does it make any more sense for God to exist ex nihilio than anything else?[/quote]

It doesn't.  The fact is that none of us can begin to understand exactly how we came to be here.  I believe in God because I cannot believe that this universe, this earth, and everything that inhabits in and has been created is the result of a random accident.  Nothing else that I can understand and physically experience in this world was created randomly.  Every useful thing I encounter was created through intelligence and with purpose.  And I am a Christian because as a philosophy, it has worked wonders on my own soul and it makes sense to me.  I would never presume to tell someone else what they should believe - I am not a proselytizer.  I have my own beliefs based on intensely personal experience.  Do I have doubts?  Of course.  Most intelligent people do.  But they are not enough any longer to make me doubt the existence of a God.[/quote]

Is your God part of a religious narrative  -- e.g. Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc -- or did it simply create the universe?[/quote]
