Probably not. Because there is zero evidence a god exists.
To tell the miracles that have happened to me would certainly reveal my identity.
The only belief more ridiculous than a belief in intelligent design, is a belief in no intelligent design.
The natural world is in too perfect of order to be seen as coincidence. Abiogenesis is nonsensical.
Why not?If you were an all powerful creator, are we the best design you could come up with? Hmmm. And would you create a world out of nothing for the sole purpose of honor and obedience, to you, under penalty of eternal torture? That don’t sound right to me.
It sounds like the perfect creation. He has given us Free Will to choose. We can choose to honor and obey and spend eternity with Him or we can choose to deny and ridicule and be denied the glories of heaven for all eternity.If you were an all powerful creator, are we the best design you could come up with?

Absolutely.It sounds like the perfect creation. He has given us Free Will to choose. We can choose to honor and obey and spend eternity with Him or we can choose to deny and ridicule and be denied the glories of heaven for all eternity.
Bottom line is that it is our choice.
How do you choose?
Do you believe some people have a real faith that God does exist?Probably not. Because there is zero evidence a god exists.

Zero proof. Thanks for confirming.Its there for all to see:
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of Him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being seen through the things that He made, even His everlasting power and divinity; that all may be without excuse.
Psalm 19:1-4
1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
2 Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
3 They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.[a]
4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.
Absolutely.
Free will to choose.
By granting free will, in many aspects of life, you get a better picture of man's true character.
By having a choice to do good, or not, man reveals his true intentions.
If we were created to only serve and be obedient or be tortured then man's true character would not be revealed.
In our next life we will reap what we sow.
It is called faith for a reason. Like the saying goes their are no atheist in fox holes. But their is time for everyone just say I believe.Zero proof. Thanks for confirming.
Yeah, I know. It’s called faith because there is no proof of a god’s existence.It is called faith for a reason. Like the saying goes their are no atheist in fox holes. But their is time for everyone just say I believe.

See y'all after Lent.
Maybe.
How much more proof do you need their is a " God " ? He is sparing us Tha Voice the next 40 days.Yeah, I know. It’s called faith because there is no proof of a god’s existence.
As to best design, the abundance, diversity, and complexity of life here is exactly what leads me to the conclusion life did not spontaneously combust in a saline pool of cosmic goo.
Fair enough. To others, it leads to the conclusion (with evidence) of evolutionary adaptation. From the largest species down to the smallest bacteria or microorganisms, including the current virus we're dealing with. Including the thousands of species that no longer exist.
How "life" actually first began, or the earth, may require some faith, but is at least more reasonably debatable, whether by a supreme being beyond our comprehension, or big bang and cosmic goo. As opposed to strict biblical interpretations easily refuted by scientific evidence (or rational thought frankly).
I'm sure you know the theory of natural selection doesn't explain the origin of life. Oh, I believe in natural selection.
As to the origin of life, when science can show simple amino acids organizing into complex proteins, I'll rethink things. Until then, I'm siding with intelligent design. We are not alone.
