You do not have the faith to believe there is a God, but you have the faith to believe in THAT???  

Now lets look at something else. Creation. Say you are walking in the mountains and you happen to stumble upon a watch in the rocks. You pick up the watch and automatically assume that there was some sort of intelligent design behind it. It couldn't have just been created by chance! When you look at an atom, a human eye, a mountain, your hand, a BRAIN, how in the world can you assume it all happened by chance? This is what you will be assuming when you become an athiest. Not a very wise choice. You would need MUCH MUCH MUCH more faith to be an athiest than a theist.  

Well I hope I made sense. I have much more to back up this arguement!


Actually, I think you have that backwards... I think you need to have more faith to be a theist than an athiest. Science can prove and explain things... the big bang theory is a pretty sound theory and is logical. From a general standpoint, which seems more logical - the big bang theory or an almighty being simply creating the world from nothing?
