I agree, it is easier to believe in a God who magicked everything into existence and is all benevolent, but reality doesn't comply to those rules.
Adam and Eve had two sons, who got married and had children of their own. Except Adam,Eve and and their children were the total sum humans on earth. Who did Cain and Abel marry?
More importantly, I find it very concerning the thing God didn't want Eve to eat was Knowledge.
The human body is so poorly designed, God must be either incompetent or malevolent to design us the way he did. His replication system doesn't even work correctly, as can be shown through genetic diseases, which are the result of the genetic replication failing.
If evolution isn't correct, why is the fossil record full of transitional fossils? If evolution doesn't work, how come modern medicine works? How come the human Genome project found hundred of redundant traits in our DNA?
If anything, I think the biblical view devalues everything humans have achieved. Rather than fighting our way to the top through millions of years of evolution, all our achievements can be attributed to some ethereal being.
But this wasn't what caused me to lose faith. Ironically enough, it was the Bible itself. I've never read a more despicable barbaric book in my life. All of Gods punishments were unfair and his demands ludicrous. Rape a woman, she's now married to you. Work on the sabbath = death. Child argues against parents = death. Claims gays to be evil, well why are they even there in the first place?!
It didn't help that it constantly defied reality. Such as a man surviving in the stomach of a whale for more than three days. ( whales don't produce oxygen in their Stomach)

Absolutely. I firmly believe it's easier to believe in an always existent God who created us in His image than something coming from nothing and evolving.

How would you explain the saving power Grace and healing in the name of Jesus
Vain philosophies,fear
If you didn’t believe in the word of God
Where do you think the laws of
the land originated from
The world would have been more corrupt and perverted
Evil is running rampant today but even when the laws of the land changes people get even more mentally ill,
human trafficking,greed and gluttony etc
Don’t wait too late to make a decision about eternity…..hades or heaven
Man are drawn away about their own thoughts, lust of the flesh, pride of life
Have you noticed even the rich man with his or her wealth cannot saved themselves
There is a void that cannot be satisfied by lust, gluttony, wealth….man forever searching but never come to the knowledge of truth
