Hi Everyone, I'm 37, and have been a Christian since 1988. I am also immensely curious and enthusiastic about all things related to God and his creaton. I have studied many things around the Bible, but only recently have I re-energized my search for answers around God and science. I have discussions...

I like your paper on dualism. Was it reviewed by faculty, or published for review? If so, what responses did you get? I believe the standard response would be around how you can falsify your conclusions, if the paper is meant to be scientifically significant. I also agree with your statement that bo...

I don't dispute the requirements for evolution, but my understanding is that the genetic mutations used to prove evolution are a physical response brought on by changes to the physical environment, for example Darwins finches. In the case of the human brain, from the statement of this scientist, who...

It becomes a problem for atheists to ignore the fact that man has a consciousness, self-awareness or sentience, because that very characteristic is the one that allows us to ask ourselves the questions they are attempting to answer through the TOE. If man does not have the ability to know that he ex...

Not sure I agree with the statements. Satan cannot be omniscient as God is, so it would be impossible for satan to punish souls. Satan inhabits hell, I'm not sure if he's the operator. I agree that people's choices will cause them to be cast into hell. Also, did God not cast satan and the fallen ang...

Regardless if David was a believer or not, it still states that God can be present in hell. As for the nature of hell, and the fact that God's presence has no observable effect, leads me to wonder if that sort of punishment done by something else than can actually work in God's presence? Is hell the...

Hi, sorry for the long list. The verses all show that God knew things that he could only have known by being omnipresent, although to be fair, the verses are about God's omniscience. Psalm 139:8 is interesting: Psalm 139:8 (KJV) If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, b...

Thanks for the reply. To clarify, do you mean hell is when God removes your soul? It's a good explanation, but still does not explain where these soulless individuals would be. Are they just turning into dust somewhere, because without a soul, man is nothing but a biological collection of atoms? Wha...

Hell
Hi, I'm new here, and I have been impressed with the patience and logic in the responses I saw. I have a question about God and hell. Can anyone provide me with a definition for hell, which also satisfies the fact that God is infinite and omnipresent? If God is everywhere, it by definition will stan...
