Meh, with conditions the way they were in the old days of space travel, I think any person would look for an excuse to drink some wine, even if that meant doing it in the name of religion.
of course there is a god!!!!!!! even if there is a theory of evolution 😊 . think... how do you think world was created? you think that life comes from the first organic cell? but where this came from? how was the universe and the earth created? 😇 how do you think that the earth is positioned exactly where there could be life (a few km closer or farer it would be to cold) 😖anta: and another ting: did you know that every year at Jesus's grave a light comes and ignites the cotton put there (at the Orthodox easter, when Orthodox priests pray)? i hope it exists 😕 i should read more from the net🙂 anyway, i am an Orthodox, and i believe this is the true religion (the catholics also tried to make the light appear, but oops 😕 they didn't 🙁

Why does evolution contradict God? Besides, you believe in evolution (though you probabally know nothing about it). What about say...Intellegent Design.

A supreme being indicates that there is a grand design over which he/she/it has control. The very notion that existence and reality are an unchecked high school science class experiment is not too far off from intelligent design. While I'm not an atheist, I can't see god taking the time to design us in his own image, much less putting evolution in motion and sitting back to watch, like a seven year old with an ant farm. I don't doubt a higher being or existence, but it's not sitting around waiting for a pay off to his efforts. And it's certainly not sitting there with a rule book or a need to experience his own creation in the form of the very flesh he created.
I do belive in some sort of intelligent design.Sorry if i spell wrong.Really drunk.
To me the real miracle would be if their was no God.Everything would be so much harder explaining how we were so lucky no only to exsist,but to be aware.IMO,saying their is a God is the easy explanation.We bog it down with a Gods natures and belifes and make it hard,etc.But to me we are more likely put here by something.We could have even been created and our creator might not even know it.It could have no control of what happens when we die,etc.Totaly unaware that it created life.

Is that really intelligent design then? It sounds more like... a random process really - something might have done something at some point that might have led to us without ever being aware of it.
What would be the difference then in removing the intelligent part altogether and just having things occur?

Yes, something did do something long ago that lead to us. It was a star, and what it did was supernova.
