I Believe In God
I didn't want to. As a child in the 5th grade I got all excited about a lecture the science teacher said was going to explain that there was no reason to believe in God. Because I was just a kid, I liked that idea (nearly all atheists are as childish as I was then) because it meant that there was no absolute standard of right and wrong that I had to adhere to. It would be like I was being set free!
Then they gave the lecture and it was all about the "big bang theory" and even at that age I understood that this "answer" was no answer at all.
Question: where did the universe come from?
Answer: (when you boil it down to facts) It used to be smaller.
Over time other life events convinced me that not only was the "big bang" explanation stupid and unsatisfying but also that the only rational explanation for the world I was experiencing was (and is) that it is the deliberate work of a Creator.
So here I am.
