Sorry, you're on the hook presently.Sorry, I left my documents on my fire breathing dragon. Prove me wrong.

It would make him a dreamer or more likely an opportunist. Religion is a time tested way to reach people.And that would make Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. a fool or an idiot?
That is not a fair question besides the Bible does not just say God created the 1st life on earth does it? It says God created man and women from one of the man's ribs. That is easy to prove false. Man evolved on earth he was not created. Archeology proves that, We have found many of man's ancestors.Prove live came into existence by itself. Prove that various fields of science cannot assist in any discussion of GOD. Prove that archeology isn't a scientific study.
Stainley Miller's experiment is a failure. The environment was designed for biological life and biological life was designed for this environment. And highly detailed biological life occurred as though spontaneous. So there must be a designer and that designer was the Creator, if not so, prove me wrong.
Prove yourself right first, as you are the one making the claim of a creator!Stainley Miller's experiment is a failure. The environment was designed for biological life and biological life was designed for this environment. And highly detailed biological life occurred as though spontaneous. So there must be a designer and that designer was the Creator, if not so, prove me wrong.
Prove there's a god/"creator" and then prove said god did it!Prove live came into existence by itself. Prove that various fields of science cannot assist in any discussion of GOD. Prove that archeology isn't a scientific study.
I'd say delusional.Is Christian FAITH blind?
Hook for what?Sorry, you're on the hook presently.
Evidence of what, exactly?yes......open your eyes......everything you see is scientific evidence.....
Who are you trying to convince? Unbelievers or yourself?But the journals and reports of those involved in the program are.
That is rather vague and not very well defined.yes......open your eyes......everything you see is scientific evidence.....
What you see with your eyes is evidence of what humans and/or Nature has produced, you can only believe an involvement of a God exists, there is absolutely no evidence to support that belief.yes......open your eyes......everything you see is scientific evidence.....
the Bible is not the reason I believe in God.....the God of the Bible has some credence but as you point out there are just too many vengeful and un-Godlike descriptions in the Bible that make no sense.......man wrote the Bible with good intentions I think but ended up using it as a political system based in mankind's fear of death and the unknown.......when I open my eyes I see a world that is not even cell like in size in a universe unimaginably vast......yet despite our smallness we have the ability to see this......I believe God to be a creator from another world capable of creating us......I find no logic in believing that it all just happened.....so who created the Big Bang.......God only knowsWhat you see with your eyes is evidence of what humans and/or Nature has produced, you can only believe an involvement of a God exists, there is absolutely no evidence to support that belief.
If you really believe the stories in the Bible, you might ask yourself why there are stories about your God doing things which wouldn't require faith alone like floding the entire Earth, turning people to salt, etc. but no longer takes a active role, or at least people have wised up to the fact that there was no God involved in events which took place naturally and/or locally in the past, but the people at the time lacked adequate knowledge to recognize the true cause leaving them susceptible to believing they were acts of a God.
Yes, open up YOUR eyes.
And I respect your, and others, Right to believe as you wish for whatever reasons you find acceptable, but draw a line at the point in which such beliefs begin to become imposed upon others who disagree with your or another religions God beliefs.the Bible is not the reason I believe in God.....the God of the Bible has some credence but as you point out there are just too many vengeful and un-Godlike descriptions in the Bible that make no sense.......man wrote the Bible with good intentions I think but ended up using it as a political system based in mankind's fear of death and the unknown.......when I open my eyes I see a world that is not even cell like in size in a universe unimaginably vast......yet despite our smallness we have the ability to see this......I believe God to be a creator from another world capable of creating us......I find no logic in believing that it all just happened.....so who created the Big Bang.......God only knows
when whoever or whatever created us they gave us the ultimate wisdom to live together......that wisdom is Love.....we have not evolved enough to accept this......ultimately we will
If there are no such thing as LUCK, then GOD must exist. One must believe in one or the other or perhaps a combination, but what is more foolish --- a belief that things just happen or that things are directed? Serendipity seems to call into question LUCK, because of its repetitive nature.What you see with your eyes is evidence of what humans and/or Nature has produced, you can only believe an involvement of a God exists, there is absolutely no evidence to support that belief.

I find no evidence that LUCK does not exist, so that would negate a NEED of a God.If there are no such thing as LUCK, then GOD must exist.

Even luck involves a god...the god of good luck...I find no evidence that LUCK does not exist, so that would negate a NEED of a God.
Perhaps you could elaborate what you mean by "calls into question LUCK" as I have no idea what you're attempting to say.
While you may INSERT a God, there is no actual NEED of a God, of good or bad luck, chance alone is sufficient.Even luck involves a god...the god of good luck...
"Those setting a table for the god of Good Luck,
And those filling up cups of mixed wine for the god of Destiny." Isaiah 65:11
I believe in only One...the True God, Jehovah...but there are many false gods...While you may INSERT a God, there is no actual NEED of a God, of good or bad luck, chance alone is sufficient.
Just how many Gods do you believe in?
Then you only believe in one more than I do, that's evolution.I believe in only One...the True God, Jehovah...but there are many false gods...
