“Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.”
--– Richard Dawkins

'Choosing to have an irrational religious faith is like choosing to go hungry when there is food available.'

Romans 15:13

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."  (NIV)


Romans 14:1

"Accept those whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters."  (NIV)


Hebrews 11:3

"By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."  (NIV)


 1 Peter 1:9

"For you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls."  (NIV)

"By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." 

If there were even a shred of valid evidence to substantiate such a wild claim, it would be apparent.  Invalid attributions and blind faith do not constitute substantive evidence.

Science hasn't completely 100 percent proved it.  God, the mastermind, used science within His creation.  Only someone with a brilliant and perfect mind/brain could have created everything in it's correct time and place, including the working together of everything.  There also had to be a cause for something to come into existence.  Nothing cannot come from nothing unless there is a someone to achieve just that, with a cause.  It's really not such a wild claim, if you really think about it deeper than just the surface of thought and total denial.  Good night - my meds have finally kicked in!

Science hasn't completely 100 percent proved it. 

Science hasn't completely proved what?  You are implying dependence on the excluded middle logical fallacy; there is no evidence to support your claim and incomplete evidence otherwise doesn't suddenly make your unsupported claim any more valid than it wasn't before.

God, the mastermind, used science within His creation.  Only someone with a brilliant and perfect mind/brain could have created everything in it's correct time and place, including the working together of everything.

Those are unsupported religious claims which have no substantive evidence to validate them. Things were 'created' as they are seen now; the processes we observe emerged from other processes which cannot be vaguely designated as 'goddidit' sans evidence of that.  Such a 'hypothesis' would be just as specious as claiming that the 'invisible pink unicorn' did it.

There also had to be a cause for something to come into existence. 

If so, there is no valid reason to assume such a cause was a supernatural entity.  An assumption otherwise is not rational.

Nothing cannot come from nothing unless there is a someone to achieve just that, with a cause.

That premise is not supported by evidence or logical reasoning.  If matter can be neither created nor destroyed, (physics), no 'creator' is required. If there were "someone" or 'something' previously extant to create creation, then there wasn't "nothing" to begin with.  The sheer hubris of xtian religion's retroactively claiming to have a creator "g-d" thousands of years AFTER other cultures' creator "g-ds" exceeds pretentiousness and remains steeped in invalid non-reasoning.

Science can never prove anything 100%, but science can prove many of these things to the level of 99%.

A perfect mind/brain that could have created everything?

"Nothing cannot come from nothing..."

Seems to me that your meds have kicked in long before you wrote this post.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8 Remember that the person who plants few seeds will have a small crop; the one who plants many seeds will have a large crop. You should each give, then, as you have decided, not with regret or out of a sense of duty; for God loves the one who gives gladly. And God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause. (GNT)

[falcon9]

There being no evidence to support the contention below, the attribution is unsubstantiated, (false).

"And God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause."

Stop all your dirty talk. Say the right thing at the right time and help others by what you say. Don't make God's Spirit sad. The Spirit makes you sure that someday you will be free from your sins. — Ephesians 4:29-30a (CEV)

Having faith in God is not a religion.  Religion is man-made and I do not worship a religion.

[falcon9]

Having faith in God is not a religion.  Religion is man-made and I do not worship a religion.

I disagree.  Such a "religious" faith, (a belief in a supernatural being which lacks evidence of existence), is a religious belief.  Religious beliefs constitute religions.

Children, you show love for others by truly helping them, and not merely by talking about it. — 1 John 3:18 (CEV)
