I too am a Christian and am firmly against "The Big Bang" theory...I do however believe that things evolve and that God plays a part in evolution......if you've ever read the bible or studied its contents then you'd know mankind thinking they know it all is discussed. Talks of man becoming over confident in him/herself and being able to succeed in life minus God. It talks particularily about having the mindset of "i'm a good person, i lead a good life" and that "that should be enough".
Evolution may offer some piece of mind for the time being but not much beyond that...........belief in God and faith in his existence offers far, far more.....personally I like to think that there is a bigger reason for me being here other then because the old chemicals aligned 900 billion cagillion trimillion light years ago.
Just doesn't do it for me, i find it easier to humble myself and trust that this huge mass of earth was put here in a perfect setting to allow life to exist and progress by someone/thing far larger than us.
Look how complex the human body is, the human mind, reproduction.......you can't see the air you breathe but you trust that it is there don't you?
Prove that it's there.

Or all of that happening is mere coincidence and as a result, here we are. Why is that so hard to beleive? Its as believable as some all-empowing "god" snapping his/her fingers and creating everything.
And why can't this life be it? I love life, I'd choose to live forever if I could. All of its ups and downs, the good times and the bad....why does there have to be more beyond all of this? [/b][/quote]
If you want to bring up scientific arguments... strong scientific evidence points to life not being a mere freakish coincidence.
