The Quran states that the age of the universe is 15 billion 750 million years.

Dr. Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s renowned geologists. He is Professor of Geology and the Chairman of the Department of Geology at the Institute of Geosciences, Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany. He said: “Thinking where Muhammad came from . . . I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years, with very complicated and advanced technological methods, that this is the case.”2 . Also he said: “Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics fourteen hundred years ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind, for instance, that the earth and the heavens had the same origin.”

I'm torn in my belief. I was born and raised a Catholic, and went to church every Sunday, studied in Catholic schools my whole life. I even read the Bible (I wouldn't recommend it for children though, scared me to tears). Until recently I started to think, actually think long and hard. Religion is man-made, yes. Its made to make us feel better, make us know that everything will be alright. That someone is watching us and will protect us and the only thing we have to do in return is pray, be kind, and spread the word. I don't believe in a hell, I think its man-made too. I don't believe in a creator anymore.

I DO believe in the Golden Rule, something taught to me as a child from Jesus and that is to do unto others as you'll have them do unto you. Show kindness to others if you want others to be kind, forgive others if you want to be forgiven too. I think if people lived by this simple rule we can be in a much better situation. If there is a God above, I will believe. But I will also know in my heart I led a good life, and carried what I was taught as a child with me. I showed kindness to others and my life should be judged by what I've done and not what I've believed.
