...Of course thats just my opinion. LOL! But I have good reason to believe. I was raised religiously and became an atheist later in life but you know what I realized, believing something doesnt make it true. Not believing in something doesnt make it untrue. Ironic. The truth never moves but somehow we still havent found it. Sorry if I sound like a know-it-all. I'm not. I know alot but dont know even more. One of my modos, "just cause you know better doesnt mean you know best" .

Why dont you remember? Can you remember your first birthday? Can you remember your journey as a sperm? Do you remember being a sperm and making the choice to be born? Just cause you dont remember, doesnt mean it didnt happen. Saying that, all things that are, chose to be and created who they are. Who is "god"? All things. All things are conscious which can manifest intent which can manifest action. Action is life. Life is created through "god" and "god" is "Conscious".

Now I cant blame atheist because I used to be one myself. Why? I found religions to be full of crap. They are. After many questions and a bit of life experience I began to realize there wasnt a "god" there was a reason. All things in existence are results. Cause and effect/affect. The cause was an action that took place. Action is driven by intent and intent stems from conscious awareness. Therefore all things in existence created this result consciously....

Put it to you like this, religion contradicts itself in too many places to be trusted as truth. But atheism is a belief that there was no conscious effort behind the beginning of our universe. Unconscious things do not create consciousness. Thats like saying something can come from nothing. Actions come from intent and intent comes from consciousness. Without consciousness there is no intent, no drive and therefore no action. Life would not exist because life an action.

By thinking they are FULLY right about their belief and others are COMPLETELY wrong. EVERYONE is partly right and partly wrong. The only way to get the truth is to admit when your wrong and admit when others are right but this world is full of pride and that is its downfall. To get the truth you must be humble and willing to learn. Willing to question yourself just as much as you question others.

I will say this. Who knows? Why do people pretend to have answers that they dont have. I am not religious. I am not atheist. The way I see it, humans are too arogant. Everyone always has to "know". Knowledge comes in many form. Two most basic are truth and lies. I am one to believe(from experience) that all organized beliefs of this world are PARTLY right and PARTLY wrong. That is where everyone goes wrong.

Dude, sorry to say, but you just used a type of arguement always used by creationists, "I see that there are people, and they are increasing in number, and don't appear to be changing, therefore evolution must be false".

While I understand what you are saying, and I agree, I do hope you realize that the same logical arguement is used by creationists., I will cover more in a video response.

as an agnostic - one has accepted the fact that all is not as it's been told/taught, and has studied somewhat to defy the (ie Christian) religion one has been braught up with...

I think this topic is way more complicated than merely comparing it too a coinflip and deciding between two choices... Isn't the point of any religious conundrum to find the way that makes the most sense... and to NOT disregard options, but seek the answers...
