Evidence for God from Science

We sure got off topic fast. Maybe we should start a LOTR topic, but how to make it fit the theme of Christianity? Wasn't C.S. Lewis friends with Tolkien?

I personally was told I was going to hell by one of the deacons of my church. I was quite offended. I told him I didn't feel I was going to hell, and he was making a judgement that was beyond his jurisdiction. He told me I was wrong, and he had the right to say this to me. So there it goes. I do not...

Yes, the Ents were cool.

"I do have the right to determine the difference between right and wrong in my life and the lives of others." That is interesting But when you do determine what is wrong in in the lives of other's, what do you do with that information? To tell someone they are going to hell is perfectly re...

"What happens to a tree when it dies, JC?" I think it is reasonable to believe that when a tree dies it is dead matter (although I realize that matter is supposedly indestructible). I don't believe that a tree has a higher consciousness or a soul. Do you? I know certain people believe that...

I believe you gave him a very thoughtful answer. I remember the example given to me was always Jesus on the cross declaring that the thief who professed to believe in Him would be with him in paradise, remember? Hence the origination of the deathbed conversion. Jesus valued belief and faith above al...

"It tries to explain a universe with an infinite regress and no singularity." Jc, I went to this website, and it was more than my little brain could take in. I was like, this is science beyond my understanding. I tried to show the info on there to my hubby but he thinks I am quite mad to b...

I like what Habermas has to say about the Gospel of Mark, no question. I researched him a little bit and I find him quite intelligient and reasonable. What I would love is for the Gospel of Mark to report the Resurrection appearances, so there could me no question in all four Gospels. But actually, ...

HI, everyone, I'm Tabitha (acutally a noms de plum that I stole from one of my cat)s I didn't realize I was supposed to introduce myself first, I already have a topic going on that I initiated in which I already shared a bit of myself. I am greatly enjoying the board and just taking in all the infor...

"Secondly, I find this theory ridiculous and requiring more faith that the truth. It requires a collusion of immense degree. Mass hallucinations are psychologically not going to happen. and if they were faking it...hard to believe they got away with it." Actually, Zoe, he is not talking ab...

I have not read the suggested readings of Gary Habermas, but I do know he debated John D. Crossan about the Resurrection. I haven't read "I Don't Have Faith Enough To Be An Atheist" but I like the title. I have read "A Case for Christ" and also "Evidence That Demands A Verdi...

"So--analogies aside, I want you to suggest to me a plausible naturalistic scenario to explain what happened on Resurrection Sunday. I think you'll find that no such explanation is possible. Indeed, the only possible explanation is that Jesus really did rise from the dead, and in that case, the...

"This is the crux of the matter. Can you provide me even one naturalistic explanation that takes all the evidence into account?" I am going to answer by asking a question of my own, which I hope you guys can answer thoughtfully: In the year 1981, in the small town of Medjugorje, a group of...

Zoe, it all comes down the the Resurrection for me. No pastor would play the devil's advocate with me that there was none. They would only convince me that there was. That is why I have to research in other directions. That is why I am drawn to the Crossan books. My brain does not allow me to believ...

Obviously there is no scientific "definitive", no grand unified theory yet, and what I have observed is that scientists keep changing their theories as new evidence and data emerge. Einstein spent his whole life trying to figure it out. Science can prove nothing because it comes down to th...
