No..

How can the universe create itself out of nothingness? Given the fact that the universe began to exist, it must have had a “cause” that originated it.Doesn't it make more sense to assume the existence of a Creation. This statement is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that GOD came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, “What does blue smell like?” Blue is not in the category of things that have a smell, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, GOD is not in the category of things that are created or caused. GOD is uncaused and uncreated—He simply exists.

We know that from nothing, nothing comes. So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been in existence. That ever-existing being is what we call GOD ,GOD is the un-caused Being that caused everything else to come into existence. God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.



The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning, GOD unlike the universe, had no beginning, so he doesn’t need a cause. Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space. Since GOD is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created..~

I'm not religious but i like to think there's a God or something else like that... like the Greek Gods...?

Anyway, yeah i believe in evolution because there's evidence to support it. As far as i'm aware, we're modern Homo Sapiens descended from Homo erectus. Some of us even have Neanderthal DNA.



I don't think it should conflict with religion since in a way, they fit together. If there is a God/Goddess or something else, maybe they created evolution. Maybe they created the big bang. Maybe they created the big bang and stepped aside to watch Earth create its own history including evolution. Evolution could have just occurred by chance.



There's tons of possibilities for how we came to exist but i definitely believe in Evolution.



Hope i helped :)

There is nothing to believe in, it is proven fact.

Have you seen a cute little puppy dog, its linage was that of a wolf, not all that long ago.



I can't believe people are still arguing the point of evolution

There is geological record of it.



Evolution does not negate the belief in God.

Which is a belief only.

I believe that there is a higher power in the universe than I.

but I have no proof, it's just a belief formed on the information I have.



When we die, there is always a transformation. It could only be that we are transformed into food for nature, or it could be more. But we know, no more than that.

It's not a matter of belief.It's a matter of accepting facts based on scientific evidence.No faith required.

Well... no I don't, because, if you think about it, if evolution existed gorillas would never get old, they would all just turn into humans - which doesn't happen.
