Human beings are very inquisitive creatures by nature. Since the dawn of mankind, the basis for existence has been relentlessly sought. Everyone has differing views and everyone is "right" according to him or herself. So, what does that mean? Why do people believe the things they do?
             My Agnostic religion is a very large part of who I am, and that is why I have decided to focus my paper on this aspect of my life. Unlike the majority of the people on this earth (estimated at somewhere around 95% I believe), I do not necessarily believe in "God" or a higher creature. I was not raised to worship an invisible, omnipotent being and I believe this is the main reason I think the way I do now. I was raised to have a very liberal mind towards everything and I have come to the realization that this is the best way to live.
             Curiosity has guided my mind through countless hours of contemplation over certain beliefs and flaws in these beliefs. I will be making a few generalizations in this paper. This is wholly for the sake of argument. As a rule, I invite criticism because it gives me more to think about and I will undoubtedly gain insight, which is the ultimate goal.
             First of all, how can a person decide without doubt that they are "right" without even understanding all the other ideas. It is my opinion that most people are not educated on all the other hundreds of thousands of differing beliefs on the subject of creation and religion. It seems to me that many people know a great deal about their own religion, but are completely in the dark about anything else. It also occurred to me that many people are simply born into a religion, and never stray from it. How can you make a decision before you know all the facts and all the choices? It is like taking a multiple-choice test, and automatically picking A because it is the first thing you read and it looks right. It doesn't matter what the others choices...
