I laugh everytime I see this! Stop being religious! Go out and live life! WTF.
Let's see. Give up religion, take a deep breathe and go live life, doing things Christians are forbidden to do. Guess I could go smoke some crack. Rob a bank. Kill some people. Go spit on my parents grave. Go have sex with my best friends husband.

Idiots! Okay, then nevermind. Think I will continue to sit at home everyday, throw out my picts of the world I have traveled, all the interesting people I've met, ah, meh. Nevermind. Maybe I will just sit home and wait to die.

If a video like that doesn't make you question why god would make everything for a single creation on a single planet in a single solar system in a single galaxy in possibly multiple universes, and the logistics behind such a notion that a god made it all just for us. Than you're far too delusional for your own health.
Get out and explore life around you instead of simply waiting to die for a heaven that is so incredibly unlikely to exist.
All the evidence suggests that this may be all we have. Make the most of it.
Thanks for sharing the video

Interesting isn't it? It made me more certain there is "something" whatever you want to call him/it/her/them "god"?

And what evidence?
About a year ago, I bought a piece of property for $80,000. Today, it is worth approximately $600,000. This highly profitable transaction required no effort on my part, except walking into a lawyer's office to sign the papers. I have asked the Lord, "Jesus, why do you bless me like this?" "Because you passed my test," He answered.
Not long ago, the Lord gave me $200,000. I said, "Lord, what am I going to do with it? I don't need it. What did You give it to me for?" He said, "You passed my test."
Below are some of the results, notice the correlation between some of them...

I'm agnostic solely because I can't fathom something coming from nothing and science hasn't been able to come up with a valid proven theory to explain what was the catalyst of everything.

I find that Atheist and Religious folks tend to have one thing in common when it comes to answering the meaning of life or whether God exist or not: both are going off their gut feelings but taking opposite leaps of faith.
The Big Bang theory describes what the catalyst of everything was, but it does not claim that 'everything came from nothing'.
Simply be cause we don't know what came before the expansion of the singularity that is the 'big bang' doesn't really give validity to there being a god.
you can't disprove it, the claim is unfalsifiable, but there's also no reason to believe it to be factual.
Not entirely. As explained above, Atheism isn't a position based off of faith, it's a position based off of logical reasoning, and subject to change upon evidence.

Actually, all the proof is that God does exist and did just that. Why? Heck if I know. I'm not God. But I could go around and call you extremely delusional and needing to get out and see the world, too. So then you really have to question your perspective, right? It's a bit too extreme to just jump to calling people delusional over the 'proof' of whatever that you perceive as being in the video. Did it make me question what I believe? Nope, not really. Does that make me delusional or just certain in my beliefs? Both believing in God and not believing in God involve a certain amount of faith. So, do whatever you want, I don't think you're delusional--just human. Just like me.
If there's proof, then it's testable. If it's not testable, then it's not tangible proof, it's subjective perception, which is not evidence.
We do have evidence that everything forms naturally, and there hasn't been anything to suggest otherwise yet. Sorry, but you're misunderstanding what the term 'evidence' really applies to.
You're also misapplying the word 'faith'. I do not hold a religious-faith that there is no god, just as I don't hold a religious-faith that there is no invisible pink unicorns. There simply isn't anything that suggests the existence of god or invisible pink unicorns, so logically, there is no reason to believe in them. I have faith that when I jump up, i'll come back down. Again, that is not "religious-faith". You're confusing the variant terminologies.

The notion I was referring to was that which holds humanity as the prime focal point of a god's creation. I can see how one could attribute the existence of this vast universe as a product of a god, and that's perfectly reasonable. However, to claim that Humans are the best of it all is just arrogant and ridiculous.

We have only observed things coming into formation through natural sources.
Matthew 5:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Luke 6:35-36 King James Version (KJV)
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
