@Godlovesusall Of course no one has seen the big bang happen. But there is plenty of evidence to support it. The universe is expanding and galaxies are moving away from us, for example. No one saw God create the universe. There's no sign that says "God was here!". There's only a book, which, for all we know, is fictional. Why should one believe the story of creation when the people who wrote the Bible were not even there? The Bible was not written by God. If that had been the case, that would mean that God supports attrocities such as slavery, sexism, and stoning. Also, the style of writing in the Bible and the views of the Bible are similar to that of people at the time when it was written.

But if we were to talk about the Bible as you believe it, as the word of God written through ancient prophets, it promises clearly, "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." So if I'm reading this correctly, it states that you can ask Jesus for anything and he will do it. Yet he never answered any of my prayers. He never answered any prayers that asked for a cure to cancer or anything. God is going back on his promises. If the Bible is God's word, it should be timeless. Its not. God does not appear to anyone in any form anymore. I think its because the Bible is a fictional/speculative work and God is not real.

Humans are special. They are more intellegent than animals. And like the cause of the big bang, the human brain remains a mystery to scientists. Once the technology is created, they'll crack the mystery soon enough. It has been proven that every human can be traced back to one couple (Adam and Eve, as people like to call them). So that means two humans evolved from apes and had children. Like the Earth, those two apes evolved because they were at the right place at the right time. This was unlikely, but it happened. Just like its unlikely for you to win the lottery. It could still happen, assuming you bought a ticket. And I think its possible that there is life somewhere else in the universe. Apparently, bacteria was found on Mars. There is water there, so this is not suprising. Other planets of other solar systems of other galaxies may have life if they were put under the same conditions as Earth.
