I am beginning to question the existence of a Christian God, or any God for that matter, but I also can't quite commit to believing in evolution. So where does that leave me? What other theories are there?
I don't know if I can simply just say we're here by some unknown or can't-be-explained cause. But "God" doesn't make sense to me. I have tried to read the Bible but there are so many contradictions and unanwered questions, and the old 'the Bible is inspired of God because it says so" doesn't work for me. I can't say that I have ever felt a connection to God or that my prayers have been answered. I have never felt a peace from God when times are tough. And if I did and just don't remember, how can I be sure it wasn't just my mind screwing with me because I really wanted an answer?
At the same time, trying to understand how all plants and animals in existence came from a single cell billions of years ago seems just as far-fetched. Where did that one cell come from? Why is Earth the only planet that anyone has found where this has happened? What makes some organisms evolve but not others?
I guess I'm just looking for an answer. Maybe there isn't one, but why do I feel the need to look for one anyway?
Anyone else feel this way? How did you come to a realization that what you believe in (an Almighty God, many Gods, no God, evolution, aliens...etc) makes sense and is satisfying to you?
