In God We Trust

Until I graduated from high school, my parents forced me to attend Sunday School and Church every Sunday, unless I was sick or there was simply too much snow to drive...

That forced behavior did not push me towards the church and religious beliefs but against it.  If religion, faith, and beliefs were so important, why did I have to be forced to go?

My biggest issue with religion and God is the fact that THE BIBLE is full of all sorts of contradictions, the least of which is the timeline for the Universe and creation....  The bible says that creation is only 6,000 years old in Genesis.

That is simply not true or accurate which undermines having trust in God.

On the other side of the coin, there is a greater probability of a creator than there is of not being a creator...  therefore, the creator may or may not actually be God.  Instead, the creator could be just an advanced form of extraterrestrial that had visited earth. 

This theory is supported in global mythologies and the stories they have shared about visitors coming down to earth from the heavens.

Even our own native Americans have cave drawings of travelers coming down to earth from the heavens.

Were these travelers the same God that was referenced in the Bible?

And if so, does that enable us to have trust in this God since the truth was never shared with us?
