Most people believe in either 'creation' or 'evolution' via the big bang.
Those that believe in 'creation' have it simple. They are willing to accept/believe that there is a God and that God created them.
Those that believe in 'evolution' don't believe that. They believe that life started on Earth due to a cosmic occurance ('The Big Bang') that led to microscopic forms of life forming in the oceans. After millions of years, here we are.
Let me pose these questions to the 'evolution' people...
"Where did Earth come from?"
(I mean before 'the big bang', where did our planet come from?)
"What created the 'Bang'?"
(If you don't know, just say what you believe.)
"Do you really believe that the existence of life on this entire planet (from the blades of grass, to the microscopic organisms in the sea, to the dinosaurs, to you), as well as the existence of this planet itself, is all one big biological accident?"
(If you really do think that, then I feel sorry for you. How depressing it must be to have that outlook on things.)

No one knows, egotism comes in thinking that, without proof, you have the answer. (read: God)
We are closer than ever to finding out what caused the "Bang". Current scientific understanding seems to indicate that there was, in fact, something before the bang. If it is so hard to comprehend all matter always having been here, how is the concept of an eternal being so much easier to believe?
Our viewpoint is not depressing, just different. I, personally, find it depressing that people will simply accept what is told to them without looking for the answers themselves. if you dont take the bible, koran, or whatever religious text as pure gospel "this is how it happened", then i applaud your open-mindedness. If you think what is written is how it happened, i have some oceanside property in Arizona i would like to sell you.
