Well, I'm sure a few people have said some of the stuff I'm going to say, but I'm not even going to pretend to read everyone's posts.

- According to The Bible, God was there to see that everything was darkness, and there was nothingness. So, God decides to create light and the universe.
- According to the Big Bang Theory, matter and energy was stored in such a compacted space over such much time that it exploded out everything that it wad holding, and such things were made like Hydrogen gas and other elements in a matter of seconds.
The Big Bang Theory makes more sense to me, but this is not what this whole topic is about... well not completely.
^^Well, as I did see someone write, these do NOT have to be mutually exclusive. There is nothing in the Bible that states HOW God made everything, just that He
did. I find that the Big Bang Theory makes just as much sense as anything else I've heard and if it was indeed how the universe was created, I believe it was merely the "how" of what God did.

My question is where did God come from ? I mean He cannot just appear out of nowhere into nothingness and darkness like it is a daily chore.I read one post that I agree with: If God does exist, it stands to reason that humans may not be able to comprehend
how God came to exist. And I have never heard anything that says our universe is the only one nor the first one, so God
could possibly have come from another universe somehow.

Also, with the Noah's Ark and the rainbow, this involves Science as well. God did not necessarily made the rainbow for a promise. Plus, how can you flood the earth ?! I really do not understand this at all ! With the rainbow, it appears because the white light is hitting something that makes it show the colors that it is holding; thus, the rainbow appears in the sky. This is hitting on the same type of problem with the Big Bang Theory: People seem to have this stereotype that anything we can prove with science implies that God does not exist. Just because rainbows are formed by light hitting water molecules just right doesn't mean that, for example, God didn't put that system in place. There are
SO many things in nature that have a very scientific way to be explained, but are just so perfect and beautiful that it's hard to believe it "just happened".
Evolution is one common example. I believe in evolution
and I'm a Christian. What I
don't believe is that humans evolved from monkeys. That doesn't even make scientific sense anyway. We are
STILL unable to find the link between man and monkey, yet so many people would rather believe that humans are a result of random happenings (and evolved from monkeys no less) than believe we were created, as we are now, for an actual purpose (though that purpose seems yet to be realized).
Anyways, what I'm getting at is that science and religion are absolutely
NOT mutually exclusive. Much of what we believe about science is just that: a belief. So many of our scientific "facts" are constantly being proven to merely be theories and are constantly being modified to better fit what we now understand (or think we understand).

There is one religion that I believe, though: Buddhism... really because it is only that makes the most sense to me. Buddhists believe in ressurection, right? That seems more far-fetched than most anything I've ever heard....
