    I don't intend to start an argument but just curious to know whether fellow Canuckers believe in Him or not?
    And, why or why not?

    Yes. Absolutely. Why? He is evident in evrything around us. You can literally see his qualities in his creation. The playful goofiness of puppies and kittens, the exquisite beauty in nature, the unbelievable artistry of sunsets, the mind-boggling intricacy of a single cell, the genius of the elements working together to sustain earth.. . I won't even mention the universe and the stars.
    We are made in his image. . . which means we reflect his qualities of love, justice, joy, mercy, free will, etc. It is what sets us apart from the animals. We are also meant to live far far longer then we do. Even science admits that. .
    . . .Because from the minute Adam and Eve screwed up, he had a plan to save us from ourselves and not one word he has spoken has failed.

    Yes ... Why not? It's what I was raised to believe, it comforts me in good and bad times and most importantly it gives me hope for the unknown.

    I don't push my religion on others and I don't judge those who have other beliefs, live and let live

    Absolutely, without a doubt.
    I may not believe biblical stories, but I do believe that there's a higher power...a higher "us" than we are here.
    I was fortunate to have experienced what is now called "life after death", and the amazing future that I believe awaits all of us. I believe in a love that has no bounds, that is so all-encompassing that I didn't even want to leave it behind and return here.
    I don't feel I need to differentiate between religions. I believe we all honour the same "god" no matter who he or she is, as long as we keep to the loving precepts of those religions and not use them to crush others.
    Some people believe that "aliens" visited us and put us on the path we're on now, and intervened when we needed them, and "helped us along" when we made such great strides forward in our evolution. If you think about it, in my generation, we went from black and white tvs that we had to get up to change channels (two channels), to the incredible devices we have now.
    Divine intervention? Perhaps...but what form that intervention comes from, we'll certainly find out one day.

    I already know what awaits me...and although I don't want to visit it again too soon, I can't wait to see what's next!
    I have no fear of death..it's just another step along our paths...

    Yes, for lots of reasons! The main reason is what I've seen over the decades in my life and the lives of those around me. Another reason is tied to what MortgageQueen so eloquently said.

    Someone once asked me how anyone could believe in God after studying science and math. I guess I don't know how people *don't* believe after taking fourth-year or higher courses at the university level in the core sciences or pure maths. There are complex equations with triple integrals and page long derivations to describe the motions or behaviours of the simplest particles, along with the intracacies and complexities of biological systems. Explaining the replication process of DNA to grade 12 students is *sooooo* much less complex than explaining it to a group of masters students working on their thesis projects.

    But how do you explain that in clear terms to my (then) fine arts college student friend? Maybe I had a good explanation then, because he's much more solid in his faith than I am. That, and life events have a way of changing your mind.

    Sorry, bit boring, but you did ask.

    Not really. Existentialism, that's the way of it.

    I like how you put that.
    There's a certain sort of peace and joy it gives me through life (that's hard to explain) especially during holidays. So I'm proud to say, yes I do believe.

    I do believe in God, but i think there are many ways of looking at how God is in our lives. I think God has helpers around us, sprits and angels around us in our everyday lives that help us. Whether it is in good times or bad times. I think when our loved ones pass on they are still with us. I think the human body is just a shell and when that shell dies out our sprit is sent on it's next journey through life, wheather that is heaven or re-incarnation.
