Evidence for God from Science

come on back so we can chat. Actually I am off to bed as I am working nites this week. I can be back on line around 7 pm mountain time.

I too was an athiest until age 35 or so. I have lots to share. No "bible thunping" I promise.

Go ahead.

This thread sure went off topic.

In other words, if youhave been honestly seeking, you shouldbe going to books from Christians, not atheist websites. Um, no. That'd be bias. It's basically the same as a Muslim telling you to only visit Muslim sites if you questioned one of them over their faith. You need to look at both sides to m...

lol, wow, way to be judgemental. So you've met every non-believer have you? I could easily say most christians aren't true christians and lump you all into that category.

You don't need religion in order to have morals.

But does that mean children need to be force-fed the bible in order to be saved? Force fed? The only thing I see children today being force fed is secular humanism, though all forms of media and culture. TV, billboards, magazines, public schools.......They are fed, what to wear, what to think, what...

I don't think religion should dominate politics at all. Agreed, politics and religon... bad mix! imo, people tend to use it, and the believers of it... Anyway, yeah I live in the USA, but the schools... wow for a "Christian" country they sure don't teach it. Every time we had a debate on ...

Too often today we let the gov. do that and they force feed atheism, humanism, and secularism, along with "acceptance" for many religons, Christianity not being one of them. Where are you from? America seems to have a large amount of christian politicians (as far as I know), so you couldn...

Of course I wouldn't want to be brainwashed. I was not brought up in a Christian home, although one parent was raised Baptist and the other Catholic. We didn't go because my mom, the Catholic raised one, hated the church. She believed in God, but saw too much hypocrisy. She believes in God now too....

:shock: I am gone for less than 8 hours and you all post so much... :lol: . CS and Zoe, well done, and Santa (sounds odd cause the name) just keep asking questions, and looking for answers. I have not yet gotten to reading all the thread, I read some, and some responses to you were... anyway! lol, ...

You keep ignoring that Anthony Flew book. His book is not the only one of it's kind, but still. The guy was a really well known philosopher atheist. He found reason to be convinced. I'll look into it then. People who live longer won't necessarily have any more advantage in believing than a younger ...

I believe because I've had personal experiences with the Lord and the Holy Spirit. I don't know if I'd ever come to believe the bible without my initial experience. After that initial time, I devoured the bible. The Lord was (and is) everything to me. So it is actually impossible for me to relate t...

To me it's more a matter of accepting God as our maker, and Lord. If we accept him, all the bad things will be washed away. He just can't be in the presence of sin, so it must be removed. He wants it removed so that we can be with Him, and He with us. Makes sense I guess. But like I keep on saying,...

Did you consider my examples? If a murderer says he is sorry but doesn't believe he offended the family whose relative he murdered, then would you consider that apology real? If a thief said he was sorry but looked at the person and didn't see why he offended that person, is that apology effective?...

Do you have to be so patronising? Let's take one thing at a time....the thread is about "why" not "is it so". there have been other thread dealing with whter or not it's true. Let's tackle the fairness issue. My thread is pretty much for any questions or thoughts I have. I'm here...

I don't believe our experiences in life are all, or most, even. I believe we have a personality. There are kids in the same household who will end up being very different from one another. I don't think that someone who is inclined to be a thief would've been different, given different circumstance...
