Evidence for God from Science

Gman said: Again, that is not true.. My brother and sister did not follow Christianity, they followed atheism. It's a 1/3 split. I chose the the religion of Christianity, they chose the religion of atheism. It's not a 99% chance. You are simply incorrect in your assumption. You're completely missing...

If your parents had taught you hinduism, and you did not follow it at a young age, but were then free to choose a religion in your 20s then I am 99.9% sure you would pick Hinduism. The same could go for any other religion. The Fact is you were exposed to it at a young age which left an impression o...

jlay said: God has no beginning, and therefore has no cause. The bible says that God trancends our understanding. It is interesting that the bible is consistent in this theme from beginning to end. it is also interesting in how it describes God as eternal, and beyond our understanding. Lets just lea...

First off this was directed at cslewislover, but if you want to get involved fair enough jlay said If one is to believe atheism, then everything, including your ability to come to the above conclusion is the result of meaningless accidents. Further, that life arose from non-life. A miracle by all sc...

Elshamah said: 14:15 “Men, why are you doing these things? We too are men, with human natures47 just like you! We are proclaiming the good news to you, so that you should turn48 from these worthless49 things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth,50 the sea, and everything that is in them...

You keep saying how the time frame for the writing of the documents is bad. It's not. You should look into it more. Did you read all of that article yet?? The most were written decades after Jesus's time, here is a quick link and its a christian site http://www.carm.org/christianity/bible/when-was-...

I also believe that Christ went and spoke to those who had already died and gave them the choice to accept him. I have heard something like this before ( I think) and as you can imagine, I find this problematic, because if that was the case there would be no need for his intervention on earth, as h...

cslewislover said But you have to establish whether the documents are old, not fakes, etc., before you can start to assess what is actually inside them. This is just one step in researching any historical work, and it's of course a totally necessary one. We know they are old, in fact ancient, but it...

cslewislover said: But we all do bad things, and what you say is not my belief. It's our relationship with God that counts, but I don't think that will help you out very much here, since to me discussing this would entail a long time, I'd think (with you). A murderer can accept the Lord before he di...

cslewislover said The part of that article quoted is just on one aspect of historical method - regarding documents - not on assessing what the documents claim. It's about assessing their validity as historical documents, not their contents. That's partly why the whole article needs to be read. Ever...

cslewislover said: If you go to the NT, how much of it would you say is negative? When Jesus speaks of love, loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself, how much of that is negative? You are so focused on the negative that people do, that you're not seeing the positive. People have a natural te...

Right, so show me how it is biased. For the love of 'God', ok here it is, as I have already stated it in my original reply, he does not weigh up the arguments of the philosophers with the arguments of the Bible. The works of the philosophers were based on reason, even though many of them got things...

Must I remind you of the New Testament apocrypha? I'm sure you're familiar with them. Must I remind you that those questions have been asked and answered ad-naseaum?? My point is how can you be positive about such teachings of heaven and hell, Plenty of threads here discussing all that. Kind of iro...

cslewislover said: So tell me how the above work is so biased. He presents facts - the number of other historical documents for comparison, say - how is that a bias? I posted here a portion of his article. If you want to criticize in the manner from your post in which I quoted this from, you should ...

Elshamah Said: You might have to make first a distinction between true Christians, and the ones, that call themself Christians, but are not. The truth is only one. There is only one answer to who is God, and therefore only one answer can be true. There exist many religions, and each one asserts to t...
