First of all I want to say, I am young and still in high school, so my opinions are still being developed and my knowledge is still limited. I plan on studying philosophy and theology in college and have been doing so on my own as well. The point is take this with a grain of salt but it is a serious question that I'm curious to hear other people's beliefs about! Grammar might suck btw lol.

So I've been a catholic since I was young, and I'm still debating my beliefs, but currently they are heavily leaning towards the God as shown in the Catholic Bible. There are a lot of reasons, I also go to catholic high school currently, so I'm expanding my knowledge and it is only furthering my beliefs right now, not to mention science and laws of the universe, which I'll talk about in a moment.

Some of the reasons I believe in this God are the many many miracles performed. There is proof of people healing others with prayers and also studies show praying makes your mental health better (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9713100/) This is just something that I myself have never seen proven by any other religion, and that is good proof personally for me. I will have to look into this more though.

Another proof for me is just design in the universe and science. To me there is no possible way that every single thing in the universe, as incredibly complex as they are was not intentionally and intelligently designed. For example, our own human bodies. First of all, our brains are so unfathomably complex and that is incredibly interesting to me. Like we don't even know everything about our own brains. Obviously it is hard to study, but still. Also free will. While I am still thinking about how many of our choices are actually free will (definitely not 100%), we still know that our brains are much more capable than animal brains. They act on instinct alone and have no idea of choice.

Additionally, the design of our bodies and our cells and organs and how they all work together is amazing to me. I believe that there is no way there is random chance that our bodies work perfectly together is really crazy, not to mention our cell processes and how complex that stuff is.

anyways this isn't a 100% serious post with just scattered thoughts and stuff but I'm just curious to hear opinions and viewpoints. Let me know if anything I stated or claimed was wrong and thanks for reading and possibly responding.

P.S. I wrote this at night so some of it lowkey might not make sense.

Is this a good inventory?
