If you believe in God...

If that is true and we all come from a single cell then how does each individual think for itself in different ways - even animals.

If we all came from a single cell then we would all look the same even with snakes.

Scientists are too inept to answer the question of the soul.

That single cell already contains different DNA.

If you believe in God then how do you explain to yourself that the world is so terrible and cold. Why do you think he doesn't show himself?
God is only a theory and a bad one in my opinion - there is no proof, that he exists. Belief does not necessarily have to be anti-scientific, but there is proof for evolution.
Try to change my mind...

In my opinion, God is just a creation to control and appease the masses. It must not be easy for the commoner to realize that there might be nothing after this life.

God does not exist.

Well you're right but don't forget that there is a lot of people (me included) who don't believe in any gods nor profess a religion yet think there is an afterlife.

Could be, but since I'm not dead yet I can't affirm it.

[Batavia]

And I don't believe in life after death either; we live maybe 70, 80 years on this earth and then - forever in heaven?
I doubt that.

I believe in mathematics. I believe order can't come from chaos. In other words, I believe there is something.

Christopher Langan has an interesting take.

I would find it quite palatable to believe there is nothing after this life. Most of the religions in the world promise the possibility, even the likelihood, of great torment after death. That's hardly a comforting thought. So for those who say religion is a crutch, I turn it around on them. I think atheism/nihilism is at least as much of a crutch.
