    This man has the most distorted perception I have ever encountered.  We stopped evil in in tracks and saved thousands upon thousands of US lives by our action.  What an idiot.  Clearly he has no regard for the country he presides over.

  2. My son's school put out a letter today stating it was going to comply with Obama's "order" to accommodate the "gender confused"..  Frankly I think such people are mentally ill and/or are just plain depraved.  There is Scripture to support the depravity view.  

     

    The agenda is to pursue the Liberal's dream at the expense of the ruination of our once great country.  Abandon God, abandon morals, abandon sanity.

    Civilization is an evolutionary adaptation of man. There is ample evidence of evolution in this thread as it evolves.All evolution does not lead to a betterment. Some evolutionary developments are dead ends.

    Or this blog
    I am not so sure man has conquered the civilization thing just yet. He is busy trying to conquer and control others for the most part. Civilizations rise and fall.

     

    Are you serious? Ample evidence of evolution in this thread as it evolves? What compelling evidence do you have for man being evolved from an amoeba? More faith than compelling fact. That's for certain.

     

    Some just don't want to deal with the issue of who Jesus Christ is? Any answer is better than acknowledging He is who He said He was. After all that would have very serious ramifications for all of us..The trouble is the time will come when there will be an accounting whether man wants or believes it.

    Personally I've found more than reasonable doubt for all explanations so far.

    I'm not in the faith game. I'm in the searching game.

     

     

    Very good with the picture of the hearts..  The point is the condition of the human heart is the issue.  Jesus is the answer.

  5. How do you know you can trust science, your senses or even your intellect?  What if your perception of reality is wrong?  Epistemology deals with the problem of knowledge.

     

    Definition of epistemology
    1. :  the study or a theory of the nature and grounds of knowledge especially with reference to its limits and validity

    In the end we all exercise faith in determining reality. Christian faith is not a bind faith but a reasoned one as reflected in previous posts including the linked ones that some tend to skip over.

     

    Scripture tells us:  

     

    Hebrews 11:6New International Version (NIV)

    And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

  6. poolingmyignorance:  The sad point is that any religious input dilutes the thread.

     

    HB,

     

    That would be an opinion on the Evolution vs. Creation debate.  To presuppose evolution as a fact and proceed from there without raising the facts supporting creationism would be lopsided and contrary to the belief of millions upon millions of intelligent people.

     

    It could be more a case of some feeling uncomfortable discussing their mortality and a full accountability to a Supreme being. 

     

    The belief in evolution requires faith too as it can't be demonstrated.  What makes it superior to faith in a Creator who has revealed Himself to us in history?  The point is presupposing evolution exclusively while discounting or rejecting the objective evidence for Christianity is close minded at best....to the detriment of the individual who does so.

     

    Christians feel compelled to respond to the argument that evolution is exclusively true.  This thread is inclusive of both views as reflected in our society as well as around the world.

    That which begins to exist must have a cause. God is eternal. He is not bound by time or space. Both are His creation, and both have a beginning and will one day have an end. Scientists believe that the entire universe (that is all matter as we know it) began 12-14 billion years ago, and came to be in the Big Bang. It had a definable beginning. Scientists,particularly Steven Hawkins, are busily trying to find new theories to explain away this beginning, Try as they may they cannot get past this crucial point.

     

    This will be my last post on this thread. Honestly I hope it may bring some of you to search and come up with your own conclusion based on the evidence out there. I am not trying to argue with or convince anyone, as biblically that is not my job. I am simply supposed to sow the seed. I am also not arrogant enough to feel the need to defend God, as He already carries me on a daily basis. I do however very much enjoy the intellectual conversation on faith versus science when it remains civil. As I mentioned earlier I have a lot of respect for some of the folks on this forum regardless of whether they are believers or not. If anyone wants to talk more about it, PM me, I would love to talk further. Hope you all have a great day today.

    You may or may not respond, but somebody else might pick this up in your stead.

    The big bang, is the point at the center of the universe. It's not the point at which it was created. We cannot create or destroy matter or energy. This is a key point that is often over looked. Once you contemplate that all matter, energy their relation, position to each other a fluid and every changing then you begin to see that the universe cannot end, because it has no beginning. It simply is. If it repeats an endless cycle of collapse and expansion none of those are beginning or ends.. only our perspective of it. Viewing time as a dimension instead of a am absolute allows you to see the bigger picture.

    Time is how we measure distance between events. If gravity were greater in another place in space then time would be measured differently. Why? Because it would effect the devices that allow the measure of time. It would effect the events that we measure too! Time itself is a contained within the universe! So when you have a singularity (the cosmic egg) and nothing in it moves than time doesn't exist because we aren't there to observe the events. So by that no creator is needed. Since matter and energy only change states.

     

     

    God is not bound by time and space as we are in our present state.  A day is as a thousand years to Him as described in His Word.  Although we (as finite humans) cannot create or destroy matter, God can.  God Almighty knows  no constraints..  He is Sovereign and above all.  The Lord has provided us an account of the creation of the heavens and the earth in Genesis.  Research the "ontological" argument for the existence of God.  The Scripture makes clear that we are held accountable because God has revealed His proof of existence in nature, the natural order of things and the universe.  Did all of this fall into place just by random chance?

     

    Who was the historical Jesus?  Lord, Liar, or Lunatic?  He claimed pre-existence with God before his earthly appearance and ministry.He affirmed the Old Testament Scriptures thereby affirming the creation account. What will you do with Him in searching for objective truth?

     

     

     

    Romans 1:20New International Version (NIV)

    20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
