A short, simple discussion, on a long, complex issue.

It amazes me what people will believe, in order to not believe in God. Constantly I see people jumping in a parade that shouts the rhetoric that the belief in God is illogical nonsense. Yet, when asked a better alternative, they have none. They may shout vague terms like "evolution". Yet they have no idea of the meaning of evolution. I believe it was Albert Einstein, who said "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." People hear small amounts of information, and form their whole worldview on them.
I was watching a documentary that interviewed Richard Dawkins, professor of biology and best selling author of The God Delusion. When asked where life came from, of course he replied "through the evolutionary process." Which means that complex life forms evolved from simple life forms. Yet "simple life forms" are not very simple at all. Biologist know this better then anybody.
The probability of a single cell forming by random process is in the trillions.
When Dawkins was asked where the simple life forms came from, he responded that science does not know for sure. He then said that one of the theories is that a complex life form, which of course, went through an evolutionary process, came to Earth and planted it. This is the best explanation science can come up with?
One of the popular questions that people ask, to argue against god is, "who created God?". Does not the same problem lie with their theory?
People often make the mistake of believing that science is responsible for creating the scientist worldview, when the truth is, their worldview, is responsible for interpreting their science. Science, boomed in the 15th and 16th century because there was a group of men who believed the world would work under laws, because they believed in a law-giver.
So before you give up the belief in God in the name of science. Perhaps look at the other end of the argument.
