No, even though I believe that I technically fall under the category "monotheist."

Weird.

I'm not sure. It's like I do but I don't. It may sound like a kind of unrealistic thought but I do believe that there's something but I'm not sure and there's a part of me that wants to say there's nothing at all.

i believe in god. I am a born again christian, and working on becoming a missionary. i know this summer i am going to jamaica on amissions trip, and next summer i am spending the entire summer on a missions trip.. The type of christianity i am is Baptist..   some people dont see it, but there are signs all around that he is real.

Signs that he's real? How very presumptive, and sexist. Sounds like the same logic people utilized to justify their belief in dragons, yonder in the days of olde.

I believe in God the Father Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of earth and in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son our Lord. Just look around. There is absolutely no way creation could have happened "accidentally" as evolutionists say. Every child has his or her own set of individual fingerprints. There is no way that could happen on accident. God even said He has a plan for our lives. It's in the book of Jeremiah. God made each and every one of us unique with our own set of fingerprints. They also still find seashells on top of Mount Everest, which could only happen if water had risen above that point, as in the worldwide flood of Noah's day. Truth cannot be denied. Evolution has no basis. It uses circular reasoning to back up its claims. Circular reasoning, however, means that it is nothing more than a guess. Think about this logically, the only explaination for creation is that there is a God who cares enough for us to give us each an individual set of fingerprints and to create such a beautiful earth for us to live in.

1.) Evolution doesn't have any relationship with the development of matter. I would first make a habit out of understanding what atheist's believe before trying to invoke some moral outrage against evolution. The process of evolution relates to life responding to the environment - which is an observable event. The very same factors that determine what you look like lead species to evolve. There is no line of distinction between "micro-" and "macro-" evolution.

2.) Here we go again with sexist junk about God taking up the male pedestal first.

3.) Fingerprints aren't based on DNA; it's a biproduct of nerve growth. That's like arguing that God must exist because no two snow flakes are the same - you're ignoring the fact you can't (dis)prove this argument, making up an illogical and irrelevant argument, and then turning it about as a logical fallacy.

4.) All land structures were once beneath the ocean. Doh!

5.) Kid, you're probably young and naive, but if you think this world is candy and roses, you have a hard reality coming to you. At that point, roses contain thorns, and candy can literally kill you. Have fun playing make-believe.

Yes, I believe that there is ONE God who sent his son Jesus to die on a cross to save the world from their sin which we all deserve Hell for. However through Christ we can live with our father forever.  short answer yes

I notice that you live in Alabama. Don't they throw stones at atheists in the street over there? Just a silly rumour I suspect
