Re: not doing too well

Don't loose hope ever. Ravi Zacharias also once attempted suicide, but God used that to strengthen him. God is still watching over you. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” I will be prayi...

Re: Science, scripture and the age of the universe

Reminds me of a debate with John Polkinghorne on evolution and the age of the earth. Here it is if you like:

Sam Harris The moral landscape contest

Sam Harris is offering 20,000 USD to anyone who can write a 1000 word essay changing his view on morality. 2000 for best essay, even if he isn't convinced. I think Rich D did a negative review of the book, didn't he?

Re: Does Jacobs use of Poplar rods contradict genetics?

Huh. Thanks. I see now, it actually is quite similar to Moses hitting the rock with a stick in the desert to produce water now that i think about it.

Christian Relative Morality

I have a question about relative morality. What if we are all born relative moralists, who will bend laws to make accommodate ourselves, but when we become Christians, we have to adopt God's Morality/The ultimate morality, through the laws in the Bible? So these Moral "absolutes" are disco...

Does Jacobs use of Poplar rods contradict genetics?

I heard an atheist bring this up, saying that genetics arent affected by poplar rods, so this is false. 37Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane trees, and peeled white stripes in them, exposing the white which was in the rods. 38He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the...

"Ought implies can"

So, the philosophical principal of "ought implies can" basically means that there should not be a punishment/reason for failing to reach a par that is unobtainable. So it would not be logical or rational to make a law saying that "humans have to levitate around at all times". Tha...

Re: The importance of church

What place does church hold importance to in the christian religion? Is it a requirement to reach heaven? Church is a place for believers to congregate and to strengthen their faith and to welcome those that are searching for God, to welcome new believers, to welcome and help those with sincere que...

Hi guys, i'm new to these forums, but i have read a lot of the articles and like what i see. I came here originally about a month or two ago when i had no idea how to answer a lot of thing i had read in Dawkins' The God Delusion. The Debunking Dawkins section helped a lot, and got me started on thin...
