I believe that God created the world.
well the problem whit that is that the world could have created itself following natural laws so adding a deity in to the mix complicates matters and do to occam's Razor the simplest explanation is usually right. we cannot whit a 100% certanty god did not create the world we can say it is fare more probable that the world caused itself
For example, some claim that God caused himself to exist and also caused the universe to exist - he was the "first cause" - whereas Occam's Razor suggests that if one accepts the possibility of something causing itself then it is better to assume that it was the universe that caused itself rather than God because this explanation involves fewer entities.

the same goes whit god guiding evolution, we know it can happen on its own so it most probably did, invoking deities complicates matters so it is more probable that it happened on its own.
to put it simple witch of these in this situation is more probable
a vase is broken in your living room the doors are locked and the only one home was your kid.
A) the kid broke the vase
B) a stranger broke in broke the vase then left leaving no trace or evidence of him being there
whitout other evidence the logical conclusion is that the kid broke the vase
I also believe that the books of the Bible must be read with respect, attention and great care. If we want to deepen our understanding of what we are reading, we must inquire, to the extent possible, as to the intent of the human author or authors and also the context of what they have written.
well i agree whit you there and the same goes for other religius scriptures you cant use your own wive point if you read those aincent scriptures you have to put your self in the shoes and mindset of the author
