I personally am a Christian and believe God created the world and the universe in 6 days and on the 7th day rested. Where would the matter come from? No particles could be just always "there." There's always a creator to something, except there isn't a creator to the creator. God has always been and will always be. From the day of the Heavens and the Earth was formed, until the day of Armageddon. If you have a positive argument, I'd like it to be shared with me. Please don't flame my personal beliefs.
I personally can't say I'm a believer in evolution. Darwin evolution theory started off by him visiting the Galapagose Islands. He found a bird with a screwed up beak and jumped to assumption. I just personally think the public school system has corrupted and taught the wrong things to minors ever since 1960s - Present day. I'm not trying to force you into a religion, yet trying to help you and save you by ministering my beliefs. I hope it can benefit you. I do sound like a hypocrite, but I ASSURE YOU I AM NOT RIPPING ON YOUR BELIEFS. I AM TRYING TO DEBATE WITH THEM.
People who doubt the Bible say "Why would God have made man if he hates sin." Well I have a perfect explanation. God is perfect in every way, shape, and form. God wanted a relationship with man, and it wasn't God's will for man to fall short of his love. It was God's will for man to come to him and repent, and be saved from himself. God gave us all a choice, to take the ways of sin or the solution to follow him and go to Heaven. The wages of sin is death, and that's what it'll be after the rapture. Death and corruption everywhere. The world will have fallen deeper into the hell it is now. God let man sin because a non sinner would be perfect, yet in that basically creating another god. I was raised on the Bible, yet I do have doubts sometimes. But, I always find a way to prove it's true. The Bible is so easy to figure and use for your own wisdom giving God credit for what He's done. I've always wondered... If you're an atheist or an agnostic, why not turn to God? You have nothing to lose, yet everything to gain.
