Of course, there are people who believe in the Bible. Not many in this forum. Anyway.
Another thought is that we can observe this fact to be correct
The First Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation) states that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed. In essence, energy can be converted from one form into another.
So forms will always come and go including the earth form and all it's co- inhabitant forms. Some forms may even go extinct. However, the life giving energy in and of itself cannot go extinct. Energy forms must be happening right now in different stages around the entire manifested universe.
We can observe that life forms exist, and that they must have always existed, in some form or another, even when some of those life forms have no awareness of their existence. And so it is clear that life must have always existed, and that is all that can be known about it. So to assume there was a creator, or a beginning would be a false notion, simply because as a human sentient observer, we too are just a temporal form that will be here today and gone tommorow, until the energy that was us is transformed into another form of energy.
The problem with the human mind, is that it is a control freak. It doesn't like not knowing, so it will make up all kinds of stories, and models to suit it's own agenda.
It's a futile pursuit to worship knowledge, because knowledge is always about history, and history is dead stuff.
Having knowledge is a curse in my opinion, because in knowledge one becomes aware of the futility and the inhospitable experience of what it is like being a sentient creature, where there is a knowing you have been born which is ultimately a death sentence, one that may be a really nasty and horrible agonising death. It's actually quite disgusting.
) have fun!
