why is it that after 2000 or more years God is still a believe and not a science?

I have to say, drawing a comparison between pregnancy and the existence of God is ridiculous.  there is plenty of proof available that someone is pregnant.  Medical SCIENCE and religious BELIEF are not analogous.  \n\nYour pregnancy test was based on a chemical reaction.  Unless you'd like to claim an immaculate conception, I'd recomend you stop using it as proof of God.

I can't believe a faith based on a book that is flawed in many ways.  I can't believe in something there is no way of having real, tangable, physical, scientific proof of.  I can't believe in something that is based on the words of people that may well have had a delusional disorder.  I can't believe in something that contradicts it's self and leaves alot of things open it can't realistically explain.  Science is in the process of proving something else entirely and has more evidence than religion does on the matter.  Which should I believe?  I tend to lean to the logical side of it which leaves religion out.  Until someone can conclusivly, scientifically prove some of these things I will not believe.

I am not a great believer in the God theory, so I'm not surprised that he/she hasn't been back since the old biblical days.\nIf there is a God, perhaps he doesn't like what he sees, and has washed his hands of the whole mess.

Slowly science is winning the war on relgious prejutices. A long time ago you would be burned at the stake for science. I believe in time hopefully sooner than later, that science will be able to correct any physical problems that humans have.

a religion and has been one for thousands of years.

Something like the big bang must have tooken millions even billions of years- and who's to say we haven't been around that long? Evolution obviously takes a very long time so there is a very big line between Science and Religion. Some people beleive God created the Earth and the univese and have Faith in something that is mostly one-sides- Some people beleive that science and evolution and astronomical theories created the Universe. and we can't really decide on which one is true. The Science side has more evidence to back it up while the Religion side, well i don't know if they even have evidence therefore i'll leave that out. But yes..it's a diverse question. People must take their sides but must still leave other opinions open\n\nIf you start to just beleive in one thing and ignore all the others- your so determined to beleive into something you would deny everything else- To be honest, i beleive in the scientific explanation of how life came to be. And i beleive the Bible isn't the life of Jesus but more a guide on how to live life as a good moral human being. Well thats my opinion.

Some believers in ID believe the earth is around 6,000 years old. \n\nAre you trying to make a parallel that something can have a designer, but still continue to improve and change under the care of its designer or due to environmental factors? \n\nMyself, I believe in micro evolution. Species adapt within certain parameters because of natural (or not-so-natural) selection. A dog, for instance, can be like a chihuahua or a great dane, but it's still a dog.\n\nI need more convincing to believe in macro evolution. Species changing into other species, etc.

I think it all stems to the origins of religion and the mentality of primitive people. Before the advancement of science it was easier to believe in a Sun God and now people face Centuries of refinement of old superstitions they are taught from birth. Plus, people are by their very nature gullible.\nAlso, it takes more effort to against tradition - i takes a person willing to question things that make no logical sense. It's much easier to just toe-the-line and believe.

There is no scientific view.  Plain and simple God spoke it into existence.  The human mind cannot comprehend that.

common sense.  if you can tell me how or when God was created then I'll reconsider religon.  As for now, scientists can tell me when the universe was created (6.5 Billion years ago) and how it was created (Big Bang).

At first glance it looks like you are splitting hairs. But if you are splitting knowing from believing because know means to have indisputable evidence and believe means to strongly think something is true, then the answer is not that simple. We know things in every day life because we experience them. We sit in a chair because experience tells us it won't break. We can say we have faith in that chair but we don't go that far. That's silly. Of course the chair won't fall. It's something we know. However we believe that the North Pole is really up there but not because we have verified that through experience, but because the majority says it is up there. A lot of our knowledge is based on what the majority says is true and is continually verified by others. Now this brings up a question. Does a belief have to be held by the majority of people in order to pass from belief to knowlege? The first people who realized the earth was round had some hard sledding convincing others. In fact they were persecuted. All the time all the people thought the earth was flat; all the time a few thought the earth was round, and all the time that the majority thought the earth was round, through all these stages, the earth was always round. At first nobody knew that; then a few knew that; now  everyone knows that. It was always true. Belief did not make it true. The majority did not make it true. Is there a God? Look at the evidence. Does not make a difference what others believe. If you want to know what is true you will always find out what is true. If you have a bias, then all evidence will be processed in the mind to support that bias. So the question (does God exist), we have to want the answer that is true, not the answer we want. Atheists want the answer to be there is no God. But do Athiests know how much gold there is in the ground or how many grains of sand there are in the world? Of course not. Neither can they know there is no God. They would have to be God to know that. So an honest Atheist can only be an agnostic, not knowing.  Evolution would be true if all millions of the in-between or transitional life forms were in the fossil record. They are missing, all millions of them. So evolution is just as logical as throwing a bunch of metal on a flight line and presto a plane emerges. It won't emerge after five minutes, five hours, five years, five millenia. Airplanes are man made. Everyone knows that. Yet they use the above mentioned logic to say that trees, animals, fish, birds and people living on the only habitable planet, just evolved over billions of years. If the metal can't evolve into a plane after billions of years, what are the odds that in all this universe the earth's inhabitants evolved only on earth but nowhere else during all those billion of years? What makes sense to me is that a creator did all this. To me it is a belief but it is more than a belief. My inner self knows it to be true, and it disagrees with no logic or known fact.

There is no proof that a god exists which actually holds up (all of the ones that people have come up with so far have been knocked down).\n\nThere are however disproofs of the existance of some types of god which still hold.

Archeology is a science and the science is not static like the "true"  Bible. In the Bible all the thinks are true without question, they are "God" words.  In science we question all the thinks and the true of today maybe be false tomorrow and this concept is not bad is really good. If you are a believer your true is based on faith, if you believe in the science your true is based on proof and the proof are generally changing. Yes there are a  lot of discrepancies between the evidences. Are you willing to accept the differences even if they point that Bible is incorrect?

God and religions requires belief which comes from a leap of faith.  With so many variations of beliefs, faith in God is totally subjective. \n\nScience is a method of proof, utilizing verifiable facts, evidence and substantiation.  We have yet to prove or disprove an existence of any Gods.

It would be more correct to say that atheists do not think God is real.

Religion doesn't change. It stays in its ancient mindset regardless of how the world around it changes.

Because one of them follows the general guidelines of scientific theory and one of them doesn't.  One of them can be backed up by thousands of documents of supporting evidence, the other ends with "faith" as the answer.  Trying to equate the two is silly.
