Can believers in God be logical?

Evolution,Big Bang and the others are theories. I personally don't need a document to tell me what has been laid on my heart. I am a logical person. I did not decide to believe in God, as I said it was laid upon my heart. I do not knock or disrespect anyone who doesn't believe as I do nor will I argue for or against. It is between me and God. Hope you have a good night.

Can they be logical? I suppose you'd be better off asking those scientists who create these theories who also attend church No, there is no logic in having faith. There is only faith, which is good enough for me

But is there documented proof about the authenticity of Illiad? I don't think so. By the way, evolution, big bang, fossil etc do not disprove God at all. Who says that evolutionary biology disproves God? Show me how you would do that. I hope you are not making the mistake which Dawkins is making. By your points God is not disproved at all.

You can absolutely be logical and believe in God. I'm not sure if there is any religion that 100% makes sense, but I think a lot of people take the stories as parables, good reference points to form morals. While there's no evidence proving God, there's also no evidence contradicting the existence of a god, only evidence contradicting the stories about God. I am a very logical person, and I absolutely believe in God!

Unfortunately, believers in evolution don't have their facts straight. Most of the "proof" that was given, has been proven in recent years to have been lies. The sketches of embryoes wasn't accurate, because the man who sketched them, assumed they would all look alike. So he simply copied. DNA evidence has proven that life didn't begin the way they thought it did, and has even proven that there was an "hourglass" effect. That life begin from a very small pool of genes, then expanded, then contracted, then expanded again. Why do you think so many scientists, these days, believe in "Intelligent Design"? Because their science, more and more is proving the Bible to be fact! Even Noah's ark was found! I've seen more and more scientists, these days, converting to Christianity, because they have seen what they aren't allowed to divulge: that there was an "Intelligent Designer", and all proof points to the fact that Evolution was a lie.

This topic is on fire... but I agree with the others... a theory is basically what you start with -- even though it has scientific evidence that it may be possibly true, it still has yet to be fully proven. I have yet to meet a scientist that can create something from nothing -- have you? I am not a christian. I am willing to accept any real truth, but so far there has been none. I will stick to what I believe is true and right and its the most logical thing I have decided to do for myself. If it feels right do it, if not screw it.

Believers in God cannot be logical. I just have faith, I know that I know that God is real. I don't need proof. My bible tells me that faith is that faith is the evidence of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. The word translated "substance" comes from the Greek hupostasis which means "a placing or setting under, a substructure or foundation." This word appears elsewhere in the New Testament as "confident" or "confidence" (2 Corinthians 9:4; 11:17; Hebrews 3:14). The word translated "evidence" comes from the Greek word elengchos meaning "a proof, or that by which a thing is proved or tested; conviction." The context in question deals with the existence of the universe, for verse 3 says, "through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

A discussion on believing in God can start and never end. Let those who believe, keep believing. I for one, believe there is a God up there, who is with us adn helps us every second. It is upto us how we use His help. For those who don't believe, I just pray to God that He opens their eyes.

You want a god to be like Zeus or Thor and take a physical form. God did in the person of Jesus Christ who looked human. In fact he was. You believe in evolution, but if you were to examine your own logic, animals eat animals and there have been when the mother animal hid her puppies from the father, because he might eat them. Now except in time of starvation, no human male has eaten the babies he produced. If we were descended from animals, apes, then we would act like them, and no amount of training would take that beastiality from them. The fossils came because there was a flood that wiped out all life except for the fishes and Noah and his family from the earth.Oh and if earth was millions of years old, there is no space ships taking people to other planets in great numbers that would have happened if the Flood never happened (great increase in population, and more people on the earth than now. So we would have to go to other planets, But of course, if you say we come from apes, we would have the ape nature and go on killing sprees all the time. And not when a war has been declared. Oh and faith is not logical, faith is what God gives us, but since you do not believe in God, or faith, just make sure when you build or buy a house or an apartment that there are no mirrors because you will never leave.

hi there, no need to contradict anything. you are talking about belief. belief is nothing to do with facts. we believe because we don't know, or we haven't known. if you board a bus to take you to another city (let's call it timbuktu), you 'believe' that the bus will bring you to timbuktu. why do you believe that? because you don't know if the bus will get you reached timbuktu. if you have reached timbuktu, you don't need to believe that the bus blablabla. you know that the bus blablabla. the things in the bible is all about belief, not facts. we haven't know that it really happen. so, let us be fair. christian believe that god exists. you also believe that god doesn't exist. why? because both the christians and you don't really know if god either exists or not exist. the 'facts' you mentioned prove nothing about the existence of god (i mean, they doesn't prove that god either exists or not exists. so, none of you can claim that the one is right and the other is wrong. just hold your belief and act accordingly.

The logical thinking will not help at all the times. Many of the times we have to believe what we feel. The air, pain, hunger are cannot be seen by the human eye or can be felt with a human hand. You just have to feel them just like you have to feel the presence of the god. Your faith in the things you do is the reflection of the god and believe in god before you do anything. I think i am a good believer of God.

I've never seen any documented proof about the Big Bang thang, it's a theory. Karl Marx had some great theories. No, I'm not Communist or anything "way out there". My belief is different from most that I know. To me the Bible is a book, much like other books wrote before it with the same story line. Since all of these books are so much alike, there has to be something true in the story they portray. The sun comes up every morning and gives us a new day. We make the day with our own actions. If we are "corrupt" we make a corrupt day for us. The sun then goes down on a bad day that we caused. Far too many never face the facts that lies and dis-honesty label them and bring them down. Logic/God/Us - hmmmm... who is to say what is really real? Outside my window I see a cute little squirell, he is real and I don't have to pinch myself to know that I am too! In my heart, I know that it took someone to bring me into existance. It wasn't a cosmic burst, it had to be a very intelligent being. So I give "God" all the credit and need to be more thankful than I have been. My life isn't always a "bed of roses" but I see flowers everywhere...

There is proof that Jesus exist, there is a coin called denario where it is used in that period. Jesus show denario to pharisees, and the denario coin exist, there are proof what the Bible claims, but if the person would meet Jesus in that should he believe that he is a God no? Even now there are videos that UFO's exist but people are not believing them.

Here's my view on things, and I want to be careful what I say because I don't want to offend anyone! But, if you notice in the book of Genesis, right at the beginning, there are two creation stories and they are both different! You should read and analyse carefully chapters one through three. I am sceptical about the bible! Without question some of the stories are so beautiful and inspirational but I believe that's all they are, stories! I don't believe there's any basis in truth to them especially when it comes to the creation story. I think that you can come to the conclusion that some kind of creation took place, but not necessarily as it is written in Genesis. Our modern day scientists are proving otherwise, what with evolution, dinosaur fossils and the like. I don't want to go any further as this subject is hugely controversial and I don't want to rattle anyone's bones! Great discussion by the way, thanks! Andrew

you are noticeably driving at "to see is to believe" rationale. but i guess arguing or making my point with you is not the point. but then again, not all you see is the truth, how can you say that you have a soul if you havent seen your own soul? then maybe you don't have any with this argument. my point is, not everything we see is the truth, and not all things we don't see does not exist.

There is indeed evidence against the Bible, and therefore the Christian God. But while this may be off-topic, I'd like to see your evidence against intelligent design. Abiogenesis (whenever there is enough evidence to make a bona fide "theory" of it) and evolution do not disprove what Einstein described as "the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind." Irreducible complexity and the DNA information challenge provide more evidence for intelligent design than any opposing party has ever conjured up to disprove it. The best they could do was win a case in court with a contextual rebuttal. The question that follows in my mind is, "So, is that as far down as you can break it?" I invite you to engage me in a logical debate.

everything on this earth doesn't have logic. its just assumption until its proved. there are many incidents which science doesn't have an answer. i think yes they are logical. i think you are a believer of god
