Religious Beliefs

It says in the Bible that God created everything

in six days and rested on the seventh.
While some scientists have made some

theories which contradict what was written
in the Holy Book, people from all over the world

still prefer to believe that there is a God,
and He is the only source of life.

But in this democratic world, people come up
with beliefs of their own.

There are atheists, freethinkers, and masons.
How about you? What or who do you believe in?.
