Well, as far as I've seen the only sure thing is change. Put that to a certain passage of time and a global strata and you've got your evolution.

You've got the bones, you've got the evidence, where's the discrepancy?

God, gods, architects, or aliens could be behind evolution. If you can't prove something is than you can't prove it isn't either. God might be at the helm, but then again he might not.

I can't be sure there isn't a God. But I'm pretty sure that the followers are wrong.

Vengeance, floods, wrath, penance, snakes, plagues, faith...

Faith. You can always count on faith, the anti-mind. The thing that makes the impossible possible because thy will be done. You can make anything true in your head if you believe hard enough. No miracle there, that's your brain.

The gods we make are human creations. It's written in their makeup. They bear our needs, our wants, our shortcomings. They are our impression onto godliness.

And they fall far short of any intellect that could govern everything. The testament of the creator couldn't fit in any book. Our language can't encompass creation. Our minds can't even work it out yet.

God might be there, in some manifestation. But to say we understand what he/she/it/whatever wants is a mistake.

It's pride, and it's sad.

And it's a painful limbo that continually keeps us bickering over shadows and that much further from ever knowing the truth.

Organisms evolve. So do thoughts and ideas, if we let them.

forget the ark
start at the beginning
first, where did all of the mass come from? surely you cannot say that those rocks were always there, aven if they were compressed into a tiny little ball since the atoms cannot be forced into so small a space
second, how could the "big bang" have made everything we see around us? earth, sky, gas, that tiny ball cannot expand into this huge universe
third, as the scientists put it, where did all of the mass come from? it connot come from nothing since everything must "be able to be measured in some way"
fourth, if you cannot prove where everything came from, then the Bible tells the truth because what makes up everything is uncoprehendable in our minds, for we are merely humans
fifth, if the Bible is true, then God has created everything and everyone

another point of view would be to say that, since in the Bible it says that a day to God could be a few minutes or a lifetime, the "seven days" could BE the big bang, each day creating different things, water and earth, the sky and the ground, animals and vegetation, they can all be created in the "seven days"

for those of you who are atheist, why do you curse God if there is no God? why do you so often say Jsesus Christ if you do not believe in Him? why do you say "hell" if you belive that there is no heaven and hell? wouldnt that be contradicting your own words that if there is no God, there is no heaven or hell, there is also no devil, so how can you say that there are ghosts when they are also apart of the idea of God, angels, demons, and satan?

if you have faith, then you will know that you know so little about what created everything

Why do you need to believe in God in order to use the word "God" in a negative fashion?

Just because we don't believe in Jesus dosen't mean that some of us don't think he was a real guy at one poitn and time.

Quote:

Why do we need to believe that there is a heaven or hell to say "hell"?

Quote:

wouldn't that be contradicting your own words that if there is no God, there is no heaven or hell

How so? Saying those words dosen't have to mean that the entities exist.

Quote:

Because the idea of Ghosts isn't necessarily a Christian-only concept?
