Which religion or group has it right and why?

[Chatteress]

John 14:6 (NIV)
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

[lmkcin]

All of them and none of them.
Religion is personal and should remain that way.

All we can do as people of varying faiths and beliefs is accept that, discuss the similarites and differences and appreciate we are all humans, no matter what.

My son is an agnostic. He's like you, on the cusp. The only thing I've told him to consider is:

The earth had to:
Have Just the right circumference,
Be Just the right distance from the sun,
Have Just the right size of moon,
Have the right mix of chemicals to create life,
Have just the right atmosphere,
Have the right ratio of water to land to create rain,
Have the right Orbit around the sun,
Have the right rotation--

To sustain life.

I find that to be among the greatest miracles, and, to me, supports "intelligent design".

I most certianly do not believe or even agree with the concept of intelligent design [as in it was made up by some Christian Fundamentalists back in the 80's when they weren't allowed to teach Creationism in public school], but this is one of the most thoughtful responses I have read regarding life on Earth. My honest guess would be that even Darwin would agree with this statement.

But one might argue that yes this might all be true, but life as we know it, and the multiude of creatures need much more than the things you listed. It kinda boils down best to the question, which came first the chicken or the egg?
