KIRBY098: Ok, now that you have contemplated those things, is it really so hard for a concept of "GOD" to be applid here?
If you have studied order/chaos theories, you can see that that everything is quite structured, and even the appearance of chaos, is actually just a small part of a structured event.
Structure instituted by a being without the limits of time, space, and matter.

The "concept" is a theory that cannot be proven in our time. God is a being of eternal, infinite power, yet our human minds cannot fathom such greatness.
Life is confusing, and people eventually ask "Why are we here?" Science can't give us the answer (Evolution doesn't cut it), so people look at a different source - a "higher" one. We can't really prove that anything is there, but it provides the comfort many need to live. "God has a plan," etc.
Hey, what a plan of your own - put everything great into a divine form, and you have yourself an idea of what might be up there. You can't really prove it, but it's allowed to flourish within our society.
Many cultures have done it in the past, such as the Greeks. They explained much of nature as something created by their own gods. Advances in science clarified the issue, proving the Greek idea to be wrong at the same time. So now you have us, who explain what we don't know as something in the hand of God.
Will science again catch up? Maybe it will, if it's given enough time to. Too many people fail to realize that the love making up God is actually in every one of us, sometimes barricaded, but there. Religious conflicts have arisen numerous times, the result of isolating that love, God, from this world - why can't we bring it down here, to what is going on now, and understand each other through that love? It's just a thought, but it's one we can examine right now with what we have. "We should stop looking up at an invisible god and look at what's in front of us."
Finally, a friend of mine recently exposed an interesting point regarding the Bible. In such, the writers admit that Jesus is the only pure one, the Savior, etc, and we already know that human beings lie - so why should we trust the ones that wrote the Bible? Once more, we have no proof of God, nor any other.
