You bet, there are just too many things that point towards the fact that a superior being exists to not believe. (To me anyways)

 

People always say this but rarely do I see any of them offer any argument that supports their claim logically.

 

How does something start from nothing?

 

There's always been something.

 

And what is that something?

 

Everything. The fact that everything is here is fact that it was somewhere sometime in the past. It didn't come out of a giant billy goats ass.

If everything has always been here then how does the Big Bang make any sense since The Big Bang theory clearly shows that before the Big Bang there was nothing?

This is wrong.  The Big Bang theory states that knowledge of time and matter before the Big Bang and the physical laws that governed them are unknowable and have no direct influence on our universe and universal laws that exist now, not that nothing existed prior.

Just because many people may not be able to understand the intricies and complexities of a theory like the Big Bang doesn't make it untrue.  Layperson's logic told us for centuries that the world was flat despite the fact that there were mathematicians in about 450 B.C. that proved using relatively simple maths that the world was in fact round.  Yet the idea persisted in western countries for close to 2 millenia because most people couldn't 'see for themselves'.
