This argument doesn't make sense, because time didn't even exist before the big bang.

The problem is, who can pretend to be able to define “the laws of time and dimension”, as you call them?
Mister Dark wrote:My reasoning for this is simplistic: if one looks at the human body, with all the cells and organisms supporting each other for the benefit of the body as a whole, including vital organs, as well as emotion and the very nature of being alive- this is far too complex an organism to have simply "evolved" from a single celluar organism over millions of years.
I guess you meant “simple”, but you're right, your reasoning is actually simplistic. Because you don't understand evolution doesn't mean it can't be true. It's mathematically possible, and natural selection is the only answer to the so-called perfection of the human body.

What. Do you like... put the raw egg on the pizza before, or after you put it in the oven?

I meant the egg-thingy on the pizza, obviously. Raw meat is something else. That's just gross.

I wonder why God would even want people to believe in him. It makes no difference to him or anyone else. Why condemn someone to eternal agony for succh a reason?

Also, why create a universe in such a way that is contains no traces of evidence, let alone proof, of its creator's existence, then expect its inhabitants to believe?

People always believed in gods.... think about it, most of the gods where fake (as we know it) like Zeus and Poseidon.
But people always believed in ''the real God'', Shawn already mentioned that the Bible says that Something came out of Nothing (IMPOSSIBLE)
But i always thought of this: Why do people pray to him?
You pray to him when someone died in your family or that someone in your family has an bad disease, but ''God'' never reply's to it!!
He doesnt even say: No, Yes or even maybe!!!

Seriously.... ANYONE could make the Bible.... It could be fake.... But it could be Real too.... I don't know what to think!!

I'm not going against my cards here at all, but come on, that's not a fair point. Atheists only go to Hell if they do not follow the steps of God (this doesn't necessarily mean believing in him comes in the package), or at least, this is what we've been lead to believe by the Bible.

The scriptures weren't written by God himself but by witnesses so the chances of it being "fake" in some way are extraordinarily high.

I have to agree that in some cases fanatics are worse than atheists.
