heres why i believe in god

most people refuse there is a god because of evolution - its stuck in their heads its either god, or evolution. it seems so strange to me people cant deal with the fact both can exist..

but heres the real reason i believe in god, and an afterlife. And im no idiot either, im in 4th year university (going into medicine).

if there is no god, there would be no "first person". in general, "life" itself is nothing but a set of chemical reactions - everything we think, everything we do, everything done by every other living think on earth be it monkeys, plants, bacteria, viruses, is just because of chemical reactions that favored those reactions to produce something which will be present over time. its really a scary thought to think that "life" is nothing but chemical reactions that have no purpose at all. they just originated billions of years ago by chance (purposeless) and life exists today just because those chemical reactions (by chance) resulted in a way of replication. life has no purpose - things occur as they are today simply because things that dont "live" have been nonsuccessful in existing, and those that do have a method of replicating themself and "surviving" have lived on.

so according to the no god way of thinking, life is no different than what goes on in a rock or something - its just simply molecules interacting with each other in a manner whcih arose simply by chance, and since those interactions resulted in something that can pass itself on through generations, 'life' exists today. whether its a bacteria making a cell wall or humans maintaining blood glucose levels, the life exists simply because "nonlife" was selected against.

the reason i believe in god is because if life is simply just chemical reactions that arose by chance - there would be no "first person". "I" would not exist. Its really hard to explain but if you think about it, its gets clearer and clearer as to why god exists, and life simply is not meaningless.
