These two topics are ones that have always interested me because even with my beliefs I still ask myself these same question frequently. I choose God and The Orgin of The Universe because I was born and raise a christian and I belive God created the universe and i'm curious to the pro's and con's to creation. I have found websites that present new information to the support of devine creation like (http://www.cosmicfingerprints.com/audio/newevidence.htm) where astronomers have found new evidence and exotic matter in the universe that is changing the way they thought everything was created, it is making scientist question the theroy of evolution and the big bang theroy.
The other topic that interested me was Do We Survive Death which is a question we have all asked ourselves many of times.Scientist believe after you die thats it; they believe when your body ceases funtion thats it. Then some Philosophers like Socrates belive that death is just the beginning and the human body is just a hindurance to the pursuit of truth.Then you look at different religons and there belief and views on the afterlife.So it raises the question is death the end or is death just the beginning? Is the thought of the afterlife a comfort or a reality? If there is life after death then where do we go, do our spirits go somewhere else or wonder the world as a ghost or do we become reincarnated? These to me are some questions I ask myself often. Im interested in this topic in hopes it will answer my questions or at least to form a stronger opinion.

A-
I appreciate your efforts with this project, you have some very interesting reflections on the two topics. I checked out that link you posted; now I have a couple questions for you. You don't have to answer them, just think about them from a critical, philosophical perspective:
You said: "I have found websites that present new information to the support of devine creation...where astronomers have found new evidence and exotic matter in the universe that is changing the way they thought everything was created, it is making scientist question the theroy of evolution and the big bang theroy."
My reflections follow.
Factual analysis:
How new is the information presented on the site? In science, should we consider something from 1994 new?
Should evidence that potentially discounts such theories as the Big Bang theory automatically lead us to believe that Divine Creation is more credible? What if there are additional theories beyond Divine Creation, the Big Bang, and so on, that can better explain the origins of the universe? Do you believe there are--or at least can be--more than two main competing perspectives on this matter?
Like I said, just some things to think about, I don't know if you've noticed, but I've employed the Socratic method here--instead of telling you what I think, or telling you you're wrong or right, I'm instead asking you questions.
Plus, frankly, I don't know the answers either!
