Do you believe in God?

Personally, I dig unprovable theories, because they are the same as beliefs (as you say above - "I believe"). I have plenty, including irrational ones, as most people do, and I'm cool with it.

This is why I love Alex Stroup - he has no belief beyond what he can prove, and that's cool. If you're going to argue against people having a belief system, you better not have one yourself, and that includes all beliefs.

I've been in and out of this thread so sorry if I'm repeating what others have said.

In this case I used the word 'think' as a synonym for "speculate" rather than as a synonym for "believe" which is apparently how you took it.

Creating theories is what we (as a species) do it's how we discover and progress. Wow! When that pot gets hot it seems to create a lot of energy, I bet we could use that. Humm, that mold seems to be killing all the bacteria around it. I bet it could be used as a medicine. We postulate, we test, we make mistakes, we move on. Learning is not a linear process by any means. What's "fact" today, is often laughable tomorrow. That's science.

Also I am not damming all religions/belief systems, I'm just saying that using creation as proof of God is not a good argument, and from a larger point of view, that trying to prove the existence of god in any way shape or form goes against the fundamental tennet of faith.
