I am curious if anyone ever wonders how can this really smart person believe in God? I consider myself a really open minded person but I just can’t understand it. I’m just curious as to other people’s opinion so please share your thoughts. Thanks !

Level 6

Cognitive dissonance. They believe (and I have to include myself in that group, formerly) what their eyes tell them isn't so. (Mark Twain had a better quote but I can't recall it at the moment.)

Level 7

I've always said; "a person cannot believe in science and god".

They can if they believe that god was a scientist. 🙂

@IAJO163 Not on his best day !! They are lots of other gods and more people believe in other religions than christ !! Still a POS FAIRY TALE !! NOT REAL never has been ! SCIENCE is the only one true answer to EVERYTHING !1 PRAY ALL YOU WANT IT WON"T CURE CANCER but SCIENCE WILL !!

@Ricky64 Are you trying to sway me to a hard side? lol. The world isn't black and white and as long as the only factual thing that exists is belief, we can continue to be open minded about things. 😉

Level 8

New research (ICE) that indicates brain structure changes as a result of home/community environment. To the point of DNA changes.
