Well,one doubt isn't evidence
Two,I don't care if God created me to torment me I just want to know why I'm here
Three,because your life doesn't have any purpose besides entertainment to the god and refusing to submit is worthless as you will die anyway and be forgotten

You also said:
You realize that you most probably won't get both, do you? What's more important?

Your local loco.
As you grew up Christian, your fear of hell is understandable in my opinion. Perhaps the fear is unnecessary. Perhaps that is something you have to figure out for yourself through contemplation, study, and practice.
Question everything I suggest!
I came to this forum a Christian, but the influx of information and discussion on religious matters helped me discard my Christianity. Be careful hanging around here; you’ll be exposed to a wide variety of perspectives and opinions that differ from your own. You might learn a thing or two!

I never said doubt was evidence - I said I’m not going to assume that the answer is “god” for the things that we don’t yet understand because that’s an assumption not a fact or well reasoned conclusion.
How can you submit to or resist a god you know nothing about?
Id love to be right,but I'd rather learn the truth than be led to a happy pick

Hold up 14? Ok….nevermind
Kind of seems stupid not to try to lead me to your beliefs while I'm young and open minded does it not,you intervening could be the difference between understanding the universe and being molested by a priest in a suicide cult for all you know

Then science would be the best known way to find out. Science has explained and/or predicted most natural phenomena. No other method comes even close to scientific inquiry.
And all the time science has found natural explanations, and has thereby shown that there is no theistic intervention, wherever they look. You won't have to give up the belief in a god to do science, just the belief that any gods have anything to do with the natural world.
Yeah,but science is notoriously unable to explain the things I want awnsered what was before nothing,what is my purpose why am I conscious
To which science says,we dint know,to have sex,we don't know
Why follow any person's beliefs? Read, study, learn and grow. Don't rely on convincing or testimony from others. Those that push their beliefs the most fervently, are also the most unsure of their own place in things imo.
Minimum age for RF is 13 I think.
The fun is in looking for the answers. Not finding them. The journey, not the destination.

Was until now. The usual answer isn't "we don't know", it's "we don't know - yet".
That's not a scientific question, it's a philosophical one. A scientist should answer "not my area of research".

What do believe it was "at one point" that caused the Holy Spirit to enter into you, and what was it that verified the real presence of the Holy Spirit in your life to your satisfaction ?
This may assist, it is an Explanation on creation.
Bahá'í Library Online
Baha'i articles, books, translations, and historical materials
It is a provisional translation.

If 100 people go I to a room and all claim to have seen a dead cat should I investigate the walls of the building to determine what's inside,no I must use information gained from witnesses

At some point I just knew
I'm not looking for fun I'm looking for knowledge
Those that have the Holy Spirit have Innate knowledge and do not need to look for it, it is given to them by God. The "Annointed" one's.
Any inspiration we get from the Holy Spirit is nit as an Annointed One, but as a servant to humanity in service of them.
