Is it normal to believe creationism is more likely than not?

I don't pretend to know who or what created everything, but I believe everything was created rather than it being totally random chance over hundreds of billions of years.

IIN?

    Well, your guess is as good as anyone else's as to how the universe came into being. Nobody knows.
    But as far as evolution and species changing over time, that's a separate thing. Imo, there's too much evidence that that's what happens. And it wouldn't be random chance, it's dictated by the environment.

    You don't have to discount evolution to believe in a creator. Just sayin.

    • Yeah, but it all could've been made up to appear to make sense.

        So you reckon it's more likely evolution was made up, than god creating the world was made up?
        ..cos I know which one sounds made up to me..

        Not to knock your beliefs or anything, and it's normal for a lot of people (to answer the question).

        • I mean, if you created a good fantasy world, the pieces fit together. Everything makes sense inside that world but it's still just made up. Did it actually happen or is it simply the "backstory"? Ya feel me?

      Not me, I tend to agree.

    We certainly weren't plonked on earth fully-formed. Simple creatures evolved into more complicated creatures, that much is obvious. What set the first simple life-forms off is still a mystery, but parts of the puzzle are gradually being discovered.

    • We could've been. Think about it, you could've been created this very moment along with all your 'memories'.

      I posted this above:

        Fair enough. I was assuming my 'reality' is reality. but as you say it may all be a construct of my imagination... You, the internet and everything!

      It's like the chicken and the egg question. But that is why I don't buy into the creator stuff.

    It's normal to not think about anything too much and just make things up.

    • Some people get really upset when you do that. Or they call you a fool for rejecting 'science' or 'God', as if you must accept either.

    On what day did God create the fossils? I hate creationists. Clueless!

    • Did you skip this part of my post-"I don't pretend to know who or what created everything,"? The entire post is one sentence long, two if you include the "IIN?" so be careful who you call clueless. I never said anything about a God. I personally don't believe in any God that I've ever heard of nor one I've made up. I lean towards existence being some kind of simulation. I have no idea how or who or what is behind it.

    You should probably study science a little more deeply to clear that confusion up..

    • Considering that science doesn't know how life originated then I'd hesitate to say what you're saying. Technically we have more evidence that we are in a simulation than anything else at this point.
