No matter how much philosophy, science and theology

one studies, there is still a gap of uncertainty. No one can prove God exists.

Some people look at the world around them and the complexity of it and believe that is all the evidence they need. Others are convinced based upon current scientific understanding that complexity can arise through naturalistic means and so complexity is not evidence. The latter is the camp I am in.

But once you cross that gap of uncertainty into belief God does exist, there are many religions. Is there a single religion that has it correct? Or maybe some are partially correct, but one is a better fit.

Then within that religion, Christianity for example, there are extremely diverse points of view. Some can actually be disproven by the text and science (universe created in 6 days, 6000 years ago). Others can’t such as universal salvation vs eternal conscious torment vs annihilationism. The individual has to be guided by what they think the text is saying or in most cases just go along with whatever tradition they were raised in.
