I don't think I have irrefutable proof that God exists. I also have no proof that evolution did/does not occur. I choose to believe that God exists based on my interrpretations of current evidence.

I see it this way - There is such order and planning in the universe. Everything can be explained mathematically and logically. Just the chemicals that make up our body are such that we are walking bombs and yet everything holds together and is proportioned such that we don't. I cannot imagine all the order and the control of energy that we have in our universe occuring because of chance? Our bodies alone are so interlinked that one function failing affects all the other functions in some way. To go through evolution and survive would be extremely difficult.

Believing in God is just as inconcievable to many who don't. Now If I'm wrong and my life ends I will find myself having done what good I could in my life and NOT facing a higher power. If I'm right - Then I don't get sent to hell or punishment or a lower life form because of it. To believe I compromise myself less I think - granted there are certain things I won't do but most of them go along with the laws of my nation anyway. I'm not hampering my self desires because of my belief in God. It only causes me to respect Him, his creation, and other human beings. It causes me to desire to be the best I can be. I could do those things either way I think. I just don't end up paying for it if I don't believe in Him and he ends up being a reality.
