Some of the bible is correct. The problem is we don't always know what parts, so I think that believing it dogmaticly is pointless.

I believe in God and I believe in creationism, but let me explain what I mean by that. I think God created life, which is to say he put life on this planet, but in a very simple sense. The first forms of life evolved into more complicated forms, land-walkers, birds, etc. and eventually humans. I don't think that humans are the "goal" or "endpoint" of evolution, and I suspect that we'll go extinct sooner or later, or at least evolve.

I believe in re-encarnation, and I don't believe in a "hell." I believe in an "end" when we learn all our lessons (this'll take 1,000s of lifetimes) but I don't think of this as a heaven or a hell, more a returning to the superior force of light, love, and god.


I'm still struggling with many of these concepts, so my answers are flawed, but it's the best I can do.
