The reality is that most PEOPLE of average or better intelligence (let alone scientists!) seriously question the existence of god, but understand that it is easier just to go along with this popular myth. If god did in fact create everything, he did kind of a crappy job (what's an appendix for? why did he make malaria? why do babies get cancer? why do priests molest children? why did so many Jews perish in WWII? Was Hitler more powerful than god?), so that's why people don't believe.  Even if there is a god, clearly he is neither omnipotent nor truly benevolent.  Do you have a family member with cancer? Do they deserve it?

God has given to all of us a measure of faith. Atheist chooses to believe there is no God, yet deep inside they knows better. That is one reason they are so concerned about christianity. Again all Atheist will not stay that way and some will be converted. Someday they will  see that a Holy God is nothing to play with.

I am not an atheist, but I know some people who are. It seems to me that they reject the definition of God that has been given by the standard, traditional religions.  Perhaps a person will decide to proclaim herself to be an atheist because she feels that the modern English term "God" has been so corrupted by the ideas of closed-minded church people that the concept no longer contains any value. And I would just about have to agree with that. If I mention the idea of God as a universal life-force or as the interpersonal spirit of goodness and compassion to one of my atheist friends, they might agree with that, but still the name "God" has a disagreeable connotation to them.\nReligious language is full of metaphor. Some of the most simple, basic terms of religion are such large, sweeping, all-encompassing concepts that it takes many pages of erudition to even explain what we mean when we say the name "God".\nWhen you say "God", you are implying a whole big set of ideas. Atheists are often people who simply cannot agree with some of the ideas that they have heard being attached to that name.

I am Christian and I recognize everyone believes in God. Even atheists, but they believe themselves god in a different way than theists think of God.\n\nHowever, some people may believe in a false God. Couldn't that be true?\n\nSo you are correct in that it is a great starting point to springboard into the truth of Jesus Christ being God.\n\nthanks for the question.

Because they don't understand that some people don't need a god to get by in the world and still not be a bad person.

You are right. Inspite of the proofs--order in the universe, design in every living or non living things--some people choose not to believe. I really don't understand why. But I can only guess. Here are probable reasons:\n\n1. They were brainwashed into believing that big-bang theory. Just like putting metals into one big drum blowing them up with dynamite and presto you have a functioning car.\n\n2. These people just don't want to be governed by rules that don't fit their life styles.\n\n3. They just want to be different than the rest.\n\n   The Bible however gives us a perspective of their state of mind. "They say they are wise, but they are fools... Because those people refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted minds..." (Romans 1:22,28, Today's English Version )

Amen, and God bless you.  They just don't get it.  Like I have said before, you don't have to believe it, you just have to do it.  Some feel that People who have faith in God, are weak.  They feel that  They just can't handle the world on the their own, without believing in something.  It is not understood, that chapter and verse are recited, because it is God's word, and we are not to add to, or take away from it, so we have to quote it exactly.\n\nI witness God's works every day. And for those who have never asked, and received God's blessings, how very sad.\n\nI am so happy someone verbalized this.  Good job!\n\nGod Bless

when you break it all down, nobody can prove or disprove god's existence. \n\ni find it strange that ppl can be so single minded when it comes to this topic. some ppl are perfectly willing to believe in something that has no proof, and when others disagree with them, they cant fathom how anyone could be so stupid. \n\nand others that dont believe in god because theres no solid proof,  they cant fathom how anyone can believe in something that has no evidence (even though theres no evidence god DOESNT exist. the absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence)\n\ni mean, i've never seen a billion dollars. prove to me it exists. well, i'm never going to have a billion dollars in my possession, so i dont have to believe in it right? well, that doesnt mean its not out there. and i've read a book about a cat in a hat and some green eggs and ham, but that doesnt make it true. and just because the bible says the bible is true, doesnt make it so. i mean, i can kill someone and then write a book about how i didnt do it, but thats not proof i didnt do it. \n\nbut i think the idea of faith is that you can connect with something you feel on the inside, feeling that you belong to something greater than what we understand in this world. and thats a powerful thing, whether its true or not. its easy to have faith when all the answers are right in front of you, but anyone thats read the bible and really thought about it objectively knows that the bible doesnt give you all the answers. and it wasnt meant to, it was meant to teach ppl how to be good ppl. but thats the whole idea, trying to be more than what we are, trying to be better. having faith takes something inside. \n\nand i can understand that an atheist would reject this idea, because they truly believe theres not a god as much as the god worshippers believe that there is one. so really ,they're doing the same thing, they're sticking to their beliefs and what they feel inside. \n\nbut we'd all be much better off if we stopped trying to convince each other. if we all realized that both sides are doing the exact same things from opposite sides of the coin...... lol, well.... its a pointless debate.

I believe in God.  I believe man wrote the Bible, and I agree with you that it is inaccurate.  That does not mean that God does not exist.  For the same reason, just because you do not accept part of it, does not mean you cannot accept God.

They fear what they don't understand, and so must have a world to live in where they are able to explain everything.  The unknown frightens them.  God is something they don't understand, and so must make efforts to do away with God or the part God plays in our world so that they can feel comfortable.  Arrogance plays a big part in it, too.  How arrogant must someome be to think that they are capable of understanding everything in the universe to begin with.  Sometimes I wish folks from another part of the galaxy would come down here and show us all how little we truly know.
