Brought up in a Christian home, after studing myself, came to the end, self made person. the eye print, voice print, dna, we all r indivisibles, we all r responsible for our sins. The hardest part of living, was taking care of my parents, never dreamed I would be shaving my father bathing, cooking feeding, same for my mother, my children were easy to care for. Still alot of changes r hppening to me. I would to thank the friends. Dr. Dave Foltz, Carl Lye Neely, Norman Toler, Layne Persingerand all my docters for keeping me alive.

I asked you to "show me otherwise".
You did not.
No one knows HOW God acts....only that EVERYTHING that occurs in our lives is an act of God.

You might want to go right to the source. Read "Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin.

That was crammed down my throat in 10th grade.
An interesting read by a mere mortal with an imagination to explain existence in his own view, a man's view.

Brilliant analysis. You put it together rather succinctly. You have a flair for words.

Brian, I would think that "Origin of Species" is considered blasphemous by creationists. They could just as easily suggest you read the Bible to confirm their beliefs.

It is almost pointless to attempt changing another's Faith/religious beliefs. Faith is a personal decision, and should be honored by those of differing views.

Another's Faith should be no threat to one's own.

Well put. :thumbup:

When that is the argument posed, one must then ask, "Where did God come from?" An answer that "He has always existed." is no answer at all.

Here is your answer:

Only God knows.

God is so much more than what man can comprehend that we are almost delusional to even try.

Science be it chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology etc etc isn't the enemy of God but the instrument we have to help us better understand the gift he has given us.

The bible is a history book of a semi nomad tribe and the story of their relationship with God.

It helps guild us on how to live our life's and to receive God's love into our hearts.

But to use the bible as a scientic publication is problematic at best.

Take the Noah's ark story as the example.

Was there a global flood as described in Genesis, well yes there probably was. There does appear to be many cultures around the world that have similar stories. Only several of the stories were written quite a bit earlier than the one in genesis.

As impressive as 750' x 75' x 45' is there is no way you could have fit just the mammals from Africa on it much less from the rest of the continents.

So there are some discrepancies in the bible that we must live with as more a story of morals than of actual events.

Is science evil or even evolution evil well no the bible doesn't tell us how God created all that there is only that he did.

But as we learn more about particle physics, quantum mechanics and unified theories the closer we come to seeing just how amazing his/her creation really is.

Therein lies the rub. Perhaps analogy is a better way to put this in perspective: Go find a stray cat, and explain quantum physics to the critter. Any luck yet? In the same way, Atheists refuse to believe in what they cannot see, touch or feel. (Well, up to a point; I don't know of any who don't believe in atoms and molecules). They cannot conceive of it, therefore it cannot exist. The cat and quantum theory.

Valedictorian, sorry. Bitter doesn't begin to tell the story. But my grandfather's incessant preaching is the basis of my bitterness, which you don't have to worry about.

I agree: "What is the answer?" We - the human species - will never know. In the meantime, it gives some people comfort to believe in the supernatural.
