What DOES concern me is that if there is NO God, that means my life has no meaning. I will have nowhere to go when I pass away - no lasting legacy. THAT is what concerns me. To know in my heart and soul that there IS a God that loved me enough to paint a background for my story with thoughts and words, to give me all I would need and could ever hope for, and to provide friends along the way: these are essential to my being. Something inside of me whispers, "There is more to life..." And I'm not talking about a 'simple' thing like what I should choose as a career path. I mean purpose...meaning. Isn't that what everyone is searching for? To know that they belong - that they matter. For the rest of us...what do you hope for? If you do not truely have a destiny, what is your life but a vapor?
wow.....

Amazing, you must get 100s on all of your essays because not only did i agree with all of that, but it was so well written it should be published. =0
I too cant believe that life is a mere coincidence. There has to be something behind all of it. But i can see where other people get their ideas from.

Also, i don't think if evolution is proved with humans, that it contradicts Christianity at all. I'm a Christian and i believe in evolution.
