My Feelings on the Origin of God

I have never really believed in God.  I have never been religious.  I always wondered why people believe in something that seems so farfetched and inconceivable.  I always wanted to know how the idea of God came about.  I finally got my answer, at least the one that I came up with on my own.  I was in the Marine Corp for a short period of time, but found myself caught up with many people of different faiths.  Anyway, I would go back and forth from my barracks to the base hospital for rehab and noticed something.  When there is nothing around you but nature, you wonder how everything came about.  You wonder how this planet came to be and how it is so beautiful.  I would just be looking at the mountainous terrain and think to myself, "This is why people came up with the idea of God."  If I had been born some time ago before all this technology and scientific advancement was around, I might believe in the idea of a god, or a creator.  I don't know how anyone would not believe in a god in a time before all this innovation.  This is my short take on the origin of God, but I still don't understand why people believe in God now, after all the science has come out to dispute a creator.

Haven't Posted in a While...

So I haven't really had the urge to post anything in a while. I'm not sure why, but I want to try to start having regular posts. I started this page to have my own blog, but over the years, I have only posted, what 7 posts. That's not very many. So this post is really to get me to post something and maybe get me interested in doing this at least on a weekly basis. I hope this works. Another post will be coming soon...
