I am now starting to have doubt's about god's existence because of all the negative things I hear, read and see on television, and over the internet. People are saying that the big bang theory and evolution has been proven to be true, that there is an overwhelming amount of evidence for it. On top of that, Bill Bye won the evolutionary vs creation debate against ken ham. I know scientist are really smart so I don't think they'd be making all of these things up. Even some Christians believe evolution to be true.
I have also been hearing and reading that religion was invented by slave masters during slavery days and that religion was forced upon slaves by their slave masters, and that the bible was copied from other Greek mythology books. I read that all these things are true and it really hurts me a lot to hear others say these things. I feel very depressed that I have not been able to eat or get much sleep at all. It hurts that I have gone my entire life believing there is god to hear others provide proof saying it's not true.
I really need someone to talk to. I really appreciate you taking the time out to read this.
'I hear this, i hear that', but really you're just hearing people say things, but they aren't proving anything. You haven't seen evidence of such things, yet you are quick to believe them just because someone says so. So, lets say one day, you stop believing in God, then you go repeat these things with no evidence, to others. Now all you're doing is perpetuating ideas that have never been proven to you. Just because someone makes a claim doesn't mean it's a valid claim. Many people speak more out of ignorance than evidence.
Big bang ''theory''? If it's a theory, how is it proven true? Because then it's no longer a theory.
Also, even if there were proof the the big bang, so what? That is not proof that God doesn't exist. Most Christians are taught the magical 7 days of creation as literal, but not all Christians believe that. Many Christians also believe in the big bang as coming from God.
Sounds pretty obvious you haven't spent much time reading your bible. If you had you'd realize that what's going on now is nothing new.
The first family in all of creation, Adam and Eves kids, one murdered the other.
King David lusted after a married woman and sent her husband off to war to die.
Read the book of Nahum, it's essentially about war.
Sodom and Gomorrah, where they demanded the '2 strangers (angels, unknown to them)' be released to the townspeople so they could 'have their way' with them. The towns were so evil God had them destroyed.
Look at Noah, the entire world became so evil God killed everyone on it except a small handful of people.
All throughout the bible and secular history are violence, lust, hate, murder, lies, deceit, vanity and any other kind of sin you can come up with.
Not to mention the bible itself predicts that the world will become more enveloped in sin and evil ways. That nations will war, brother will turn against brother, that sin will increase. In reality, all the evil you see is Proof of Gods existence. And, is evidence against atheistic evolution. Evolution is the claim things, people, nature, etc.. evolve into better things they start with. Yet humanity is devolving into more and more base creatures.
Scientists would never lie??? Why? Aren't they human? Are scientists exempt from the effects of selfishness or sin? Scientists typically have an agenda to be proven right, not to discover truth.
And before you think scientists are so righteous, i can think of one specific instance where the 'missing link' was supposed to have been found. The news spread all over the world. Two scientists found the remains and claimed this was evidence of evolution. Scientists all over were quick to believe and endorse this claim without having seen it for themselves. That is until it turned out to be a fake. The two men who made the claim lied, and purposefully created a fake set of remains to suit their beliefs, because they wanted to be right. So i'm not sure why you think scientists are the one honest sect of humanity, when they're just human like the rest of us, and can have agendas like so many others.
Be cautious of accepting the unproven words of people. Most people are quick to accept what they hear without looking into it (just as you are doing now). Don't let doubts get to you until you have proven claims to be true.
