Why do I believe what I believe? Well, one reason to be honest...I was raised that way, it has had a bearing. But mostly because it makes the most sense to me. I look all at all kinds of probablity statistics of how the very fist cell came from prebiotic soup and then everything came from that one cell, it makes more sense to me that there is a higher power that exists. Not only the logic behind it, but I have my heart as well. I feel at peace that I have God in my life and that I have guidence, it is hard to explain exactly what it is like without totally experiencing it.
As for schizophrenia...
For it to be a evolutionary mutation, according to evolutionists, the mutation has to be beneficial to thbe individual. I do not see how schizophrenia is beneficial and so it can not be interpreted as a evolutionary mutation.
As well, I do not believe that we are all "a part of God" and that when we die "we become part of God again". I think God is a completely seperate entity and being from all of us.
What is gained? What is the ultimate purpose?
I honestly have no real fact to give you. But to me it seems that through my person experiences (such as answers to prayer, God keeping me safe, etc. (if you want examples, let me know)) I feel that the ultimate purpose is to live 100% for God and to witness to other people about his love.
