I believe there is a Higher Being, I don't believe he is like the one painted by most artists, with a beard and all. Someone, or something set this place in motion, and it is not chaotic, everything is for a reason, there is no waste, no coincidence, and there are consequences for your actions, some call it Karma, some, an eye for an eye. There are too many "coincidences" and miracles out there to say there is no one watching. For example,on Oprah the other day, they showed peeps that survived miraculously. A lady drove into a lake, all the windows were closed, peeps tried to break the windows and couldn't, the car went under, and a peep REACHED DOWN TO MAKE A LAST FINAL EFFORT TO BREAK THE GLASS AND GET HER OUT, HE REACHED INTO THE CAR AND GRABBED HER AND IN THE VIDEO YOU CAN SEE HIM YANK HER OUT. YOU CAN ALSO SEE IN THE VIDEO, WHEN THEY PULL OUT THE CAR, ALL THE WINDOWS WERE INTACT SHUT TIGHT, PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS AWAY FOR ME. This and other situations prove something happened and no one can explain it, cuz it's bigger than anything we know.
(gets off soap box) lol

Well, I was never raised to believe in any deity so I guess you could say that I am an atheist. I do believe in evolution, however, I do NOT think that we "decended from apes" as is a common misconception of evolutionary theory.

In reality, evolution says that humans and other modern primates all evolved from a common ancestor that would have looked something like a tree shrew.

I realized I made a mistake in my post, its been corrected. Thanks for pointing it out.

that's cool, I kinda realized what ya meant

this is my crazy view. ...
and its out there ..so here it goes lol.
i believe SOMETIMES that all the animals below us in the food chain were GOD trying to make the perfect human. ... (only writing topic sentences too tired and in pain lol (car wreck) ) ...

i believe SOMETIMES that the planets of the universe is GODs organs...and we are made of mostly water like the earth..so i believe we are the blood cells of GOD and Earth is His heart ....and the Sun is His brain ....which is the hottest part of the body. ...
(in short) lol ....

NOW DO YA BELIEVE IM REALLY CRAZY ? LOL

I GREW UP WITH NO REAL GUIDENCE ...but in my 20s i did hang w/ some very smart theologians that i learned alot of debates from ....mainly that you know NO ONE REALLY KNOWS. AND ALL RELIGION IS MAN MADE. *

Interesting thoughts majik. I like the idea of all the universe and everything making up God/being part of God. That's an interesting way to look at it. Thanks for sharing.

well ever since i got pregnant i have just been amazed at how a woman can create this precious little person inside of her(with the help of her man of course =) lol..) lisajunkiee kinda of like how you were talking about miracles, creating my little boy from the love of me and my hubby is just so amazing to me, and i know that God is in every part of it. i know that when i finally see his face(hopefully any day now cause i am gettin a little miserable...lol=) i will be even more amazed at how the process of life begins.

yeah yeah i know im gettin all emotional on ya'll, you should try livin with me for the past 9 months...haha lmao
