God made it. That is how. Did you know that there is no proff that this world just came to be by some thing. God made it. Did you know that if this world was a little closer to the sun, we'd all burn up, or is this world was a little further away from the sun, we'd all freez to death. No doubt about it, God is real. Stop trying to understand it, just except it.
Do you honestly think that you are the original in raising these questions? If the Bible could be proven false/and or/inaccurate, then Christianity wouldn't have survived 2000 years of persecution. People aren't willling to be burned alive and cut in half for lies. The only way that I see anyone could stand by their beliefs through all this because a loving God changed their lives through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
I'm new to the forums but i just wanted to say that there has NEVER been any proof to the theory of Evolution. A few years back they thought they had found the 'missing link' but it turns out it was a fake. With that said I believe that evolution is complete crap!!!!
... saying u used to believe it and now you don't, that tells me that you never actually believed or understood a thing about what we're about, and you still don't. Kindly take you arrogant views and F*ck Off!
I really don't care if it's circular. I don't care what you believe about me or my logic. I am content with my faith. It makes me a better person and I am finally happy....
take sept,11 for example. It was a horrible day and many people died, but, if i'm remebering the numbers right, the ammount that die was only half of that which was predicted. You may not see a brillant mirical, as like seeing an angel. But miracles happen all around you all the time.
If all other religions were true, why then do you people get mad when someone talks to you about Jesus or say that your fine without Him. You can think that you can get to Heaven by living a good life, but, that is ok to live by, is it ok to die by?
Of course Harry Potter isn't about Christianity. The reasons it opposes Christianity is that it supports magic. Magic is bad according to Christians. In the old testament you were commanded to kill anyone who was a witch. So you don't think kids really get into Harry Potter adn try to do magic and stuff? Ok, that's you opinion. All I want to ask is when is the last time you worked with kids? L[ord]O[f]T[he]R[ings] is alright because magic isn't it's main theme and if you know anything about the books the only people who could use magic were semi-gods sent from the west (or god) to help battle Sauron. It's the Christian idea of God sending the Holy Spirit to empower and help us in our daily struggle against Satan.
KID-WAKE UP!!!!!!!!! physically though didnt God wake you up this morning!?!?! HE DOES NOTHING?!?!?!?!?!?!?! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
And take note, once the next theory comes along that says we came from mars or dinosaurs grew us in fields or whateva, the theory of evolution will be lost. Yet even with this dominance that the theory of evolution has, the 7 day theory is still with us.
I believe it is logical to believe creation since it is based on observations and not untested hypothesis.
without God, we have no way to judge hitler's efforts aside from their ultimate failure.
Anyways, when your down, don't you sometimes call yourself names? Or think badly of yourself? Well, Satan sticks those thoguhts in there heads that they are wothless, useless, so disguting that their probly gay, the they'll call themselves gay cause they start to hate themselves, then eventually they become convinced they are...
I think one misconception is that those who find truth and stop searching are therefore closeminded. Who would find truth and then keep searching? I say once the truth is found drop your anchor and set up camp, there is no reason to search any longer. Now that dosen't mean we shouldn't learn from other peoples viewpoints. I love hearing the otherside of things although I admit that I listen usually just so I can learn how to debate against them in the future. The word open-mindedness is tossed out there way too much. And if being closedminded means not allowing the worldly viewponts to be considered, then count me in.
If you read history you would know that science is just a theory with no evidence to base its assumtions on in the first place...
My opinion (nothing against you) is that [Joseph] Smith was a delusional liar. Kinda of like an old school David Koresh or Pol Pot.
So why is the universe then. Big bang doesn't cut it either. If you quote thermodynamics you still have to explain where the tiny little particle that exploded into the universe came to be. Please tell me, if not God then what?
So many people have bought into the lie that conservatives are racist, homophobic, ignorant, backwoods, sexist morons. LIES all lies. We are the opposite and the left know it but use these lies for personal gain. You watch to much CNN!
Jesus charged people to spread his word. And they have done just that. And by diying for that believe testifies that something is powerful enough to be willing to give there lives for.
Didnt know we had a whole buncha biologists in this forum. I guess if my facts dont add up to you, let me put it this way: I have no interest in living life under the depressing fact that 'I am a worthless piece of random generation that has no purpose... on this earth then meet my own personal extiction.' How can you live like that? There is a God. And if that takes faith over facts to believe i, so be it
If i was a mother (i'm a male) and i got raped and pregnant, i wouldn't risk my soul by getting an abortion. even though it was forced upon me, i wouldn't kill an innocent young baby whose only there because maybe, GOD wanted him/her there.
[On the Shroud of Turin]
From what I watched on the tv show and what the Bible say, Jesus was raped in it for 3 days and then He rose from the dead.
Well, I would have to agree with you on this one (the person that wrote this message) ok, dude, there has to be CHANGE, but evolution is incorrect. Nothing can NOT CHANGE over time, especially over thousands of years, it's impossible, but the 'Theory' (that's just what it is, a thought passing by someone’s head) that we came from a monkey, is stupid.
Look at what you just said. You belive He was killed 30 AD? Ok, look at this, the BC means before Christ and the AD means after death. So, apparently there had to be a Christ who died for us.
[In response to allegations of people altering the Bible]
Theres no doubt in my mind that God would not let his word be altered in any way he did not want it to be. If Sodam and Gomorah were struck dead just 4 lying, then why can't some monk be struck dead?
All objects whose creation has been observed have been man-made, and require design and intelligence. Even a ball of mud requires design and intelligence. We've never observed something being made without design, intelligence, or method."
"It's pretty much a fact that if you ask anybody if they like grapes with seeds or grapes with no seeds better, they will say grapes with no seeds. The way grapes produce is by using feces as fertilizer to spread their seed that is eaten, but if "early man" only ate seedless fruits as a preference (and he spit out all the seeds), how would fruits reproduce in the first place?"
"Humans wear clothes. Scientists are still trying to decipher at how clothes came to be. But the point is, we all wear clothes, but why? Because it's in our "genetic makeup" to wear clothes when it gets cold out? What about in tropical areas? Why not just move there and go naked? Even though people wear less there, they don't go naked. Man is shameful of his nakedness because he discovered it to be that way (Genesis). Also, if man developed his shamefulness of his nakedness over time, how would the species reproduce "millions of years ago", if a man was afraid to be naked in front of a woman?"
"The Creation was directly observed by Adam and Eve
if you believe that their isn't any hell, you gotta be apart of some cult or something or just blind as a bat!!
more and more it is seeming to be the Evolutionists... [are] just changing the theory again to match what they have found rather than just stopping..... and rather than letting the theory dictate the facts let the facts dictate the theory.
If you learn from your parents that apples are purple, and that you beleive the color red is purple and pruple is red, you beleive that it is true.
However, unless you stay at home your whole, in security of your limitations, you will soon find out taht others thik differently and that they infact realized the truth.
Instead of God Bless America, America Bless God for his great mercy. Thank God for the attack on 9-11 for it woke us up to very serious threat.
Men throw themselves on gernades to save their fellow soldiers in war. This isn't martyrdom either. It is dying for a cause.
[On Noah bringing little baby dinosaurs on the ark to conserve space]
And why not? There's no reason not to bring aboard juveniles instead of outgrown grandfathers. Their life expectancy would be greater anyway.
i didnt read the article cause i dont have time. i have to leave in a bit but i saw the subject and i just want to point out a couple things.
1. scientists are even saying that there was most likely like 99% a worldwide flood.
2. wood (the same kind Noah used) has been found at the top of mount Arat(where the Bible says the ark landed). The bible said that the ark was above every mountain so thats how it got to the top in case your wondering.
3. explain the grand canyon
4. there have been fossils of fishes on the top of mountains. explain how they got there other than this.
5. there are many ancient documents on stone tabs that are almost exactly like the flood story. many point out that only one mans family survived.
Uh , buddy why dont u read about hitler. Ill get the name of the murderer for u tomorrow and then youll be happy. What is a devout evolutionist A DEVOUT EVOLUTIONIST! what does devout mean ask urself. DEVOUT EVOLUTIONIST=Atheist Atheist= no god no god= no purpose theres some deductive reasoning for ya! And yes some creationist believe in evolution .. . ill argue against that if u want me to. Really why are u trying to deny this? What are u afraid of huh ....God? heheh
Ted Bundy didn't see anything wrong with it [porn] either. Neither do most serial killers.
aetheism is based on Materialism, Rationalism, scientism, and evolutionism. so in either way, you are denying god and giving in to the world of sin... have fun!
And dictionary's are not as reliable as the Bible. uh Duh.
Getting any kind of Biblical advice from N.A.T [an atheist] is like asking Ray Charles to tell you about the mona lisa. It's like asking a deaf person to describe one of Beethoven's symphonies.
the bible should be the way to check the accuracy of archaeology, not the other way around.
but you must realize that anything against evolutioned is being hushed by the scientific field because of fear that creationists will use it for their benefit.
The descendants of Noah's fancier specimens (behemoth, leviathan, velociraptor, et cetera, et al) do not seem to have adapted very well at all! to the brutal climate shift, and thus to have died out fairly thoroughly, although some question remains as to just when...
[On the unconstitutionality of teaching creationism]
Not really. If they used the Genesis account, it covers Christianity, Judaism (Orthodox Judaism, at least), and Islam. If they just do Genesis 1:1 ("In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.") then that covers pretty much every account of it but atheism, which says it isn't a religion anyway and therefore shouldn't complain--- its doctrine is already taught.
Besides the historical inaccuracies of the Book of Morman, which the Bible does not have, the Bible warns against things like the LDS.
Atheism is not only a religion, it is an organized religion.
Yes we have similar genetics to animals..but you know what, our genes match rats more then they match apes..and we have similar genes to that of house plants. You call it ancestry. I had no idea my great, great, great, aunt was a cactus. meanwhile.. I have yet for you to find somthing irrational about creationism.

I AM THHHHHAAAAATT SUUUURE. THERE IS NO QUESTION.
Reasons [to disbelieve] are man made, they stem from fallible minds. While there may be reasons that advocate the absence of God, these reasons merely destroy the faith's credibility, but never its validity.
Ok Leon, I don't get it. A defendant is innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent. So God exists until He is proven not to exist. Making Sense....... You just contradicted yourself with your own example. Poorly put.
i dont think mohammed was on any drugs at all - he was just decieved by a demon posing as an angel
I don't think someone understands justice or basic Christian doctrine. There are many worse things in life than Harelquin Fetus syndrome." [Warning: click that last link at the risk of your sanity...]
