Creationists and evolutionists, Christians and non-Christians all have the same evidence—the same facts. Think about it: we all have the same earth, the same fossil layers, the same animals and plants, the same stars—the facts are all the same. The difference is in the way we all interpret the facts. And why do we interpret facts differently? Because we start with different presuppositions. These are things that are assumed to be true, without being able to prove them. These then b

Most people have the wrong idea of what this creation/evolution question is all about. They don't understand the real issues involved and think that evolution is a scientific theory, and creationism is just a bunch of fables. Evolution, however, is not a scientific theory; it is a belief system about the past. We don't have the past; we only have the present! All the fossils, all the living animals and plants, the world, the universe -everything exists in the present. We cannot test th

As for me being a non-believer, I'm glad there's no misunderstanding there. I'd hate for you to read my comments and think I believe in God. What a waste of typing that would have been... To say there is no God is to say you have enough knowledge to know there is no God. But an atheist can never have enough knowledge to be certain there is no Go

My question to you is: why is it that you seem to be afraid to question (or at least critically examine) the basis of your faith? Is the basis for your faith so weak and unfounded that you cannot even examine it, and so you must only take the word of some other person as to what it is you should believe?

Hey, that kinda reminds me, did you know that cetaceans (sea mamals such as whales and dolphins) are actually thought to have been land animals that went back in the water? Guess what the ancestor of the whale is thought to be? The wolf. Funny. One can observe great variation in a kind, and see the results of natural selection. For instance, ding

I should have put that language in quote. I only passed it on...don't use it myself. Never made sense in the English language to use adjectives that had no meaning. An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing, identifying, or quantifying words. An adjective usually precedes the noun or the pronoun which it modifies. <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/ind

Since ancient times, a common sense, straightforward reading of Scripture has led Israelites and Christians to understand an approximate age of the universe. The cosmos was created in six 24-hour type days, and is only thousands of years old, not millions. With few exceptions, this is what our Church Fathers have always taught. Since the 1800s, when Evolutionism became popular, various Christians have tried to harmonize it with Biblical beliefs. Although most Christians rejected atheistic Ev

In the military we have to pass a test on security features and what to do or not do when using computers before we get an account on our local LAN wherever we are. Simple common sense stuff like scanning floppies before using, not giving out passwords, locking workstations when away from the computer, opening attachments, what information to discuss or or not unclassified, confidential, what sites not to visit, etc...but still even in here we see some people pass a virus gets around, locked up

If you are really wondering, pondering, debating these issues in your own life, I strongly recommend these books. The guy that authored these books sounds exactly like a lot of your posts. He did not believe in a God(s) The God, or any type of religious association period. He was as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune and an avowed atheist that he first investigated the greatest news story of all--the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Now, in The Case for Christ, he presents compelling evidence and expe

what about other nettlesome issues and questions from the heart that hinder the approach to God of a skeptic, the approach to God even of one already convinced of the hard evidences like Strobel—whose minds refuse to fully believe until their souls are fully convinced? Issues like: What about the horrors in this world that seem to say a loving God doesn’t exist? What about hell and unanswered prayers

The Case for Christ - The Hearing Is there a case for Christ? If there were to be an arbitrary legal hearing - a court case to determine whether or not Jesus Christ is in fact the only begotten Son of God - would He be vindicated by the evidence, or exposed as a fraud?

pax the old and new testaments don't display these differences you have stated. read it again. If you notice the New testament was written after Jesus time. When He spoke of these quotes you are refering to, The Bible Jesus read from was indeed the Old Testament.
