Evidence for God from Science

Byblos, definitely have you in my prayers. I can so identify and know much of what you're probably going through. My mom went to be with the Lord, after suffering from Alzheimer's, almost exactly two years ago - she was also 85. Amazingly, she suffered almost 13 years. This is probably the hardest t...

Yes, Philip. I heard Canadien women look like the Geico caveman. Well, Rick, those fellows up in the Great White North probably don't marry for looks as much as for a gal who will keep them warm on a -20 night - so her back hair rug probably comes in handy. :esad: OK, ladies, just a little (and pro...

Any place where summer lasts only about two weeks, and the women are known to have fairly hairy backs...well, that's too dang cold! :shakehead: Funny thing is, we live in (and I'm from) the deep South, and my wife is from northern CT - yet, weirdly, guess who always has a blanket on the bed on Augus...

There's not much to do in Canada, in the winter. Hockey and ice fishing, are aboot the only things to do, eh?

Rick, TWO words: "FLY SOUTH!" Actually, THREE words are better: "Fly FAR South!"

Well, I'd have to be drunk myself, to want to go fishing on ICE! For crying out loud, fishing is a warm water activity - or it should be. It's the only "sport" of which warm beer might go with.

if you are sincerely interested in dealing with the 'difficulties' I would strongly recommend the book, "Is God a moral monster," by Paul Copan. Yes, "Is God a Moral Monster" is an EXCELLENT book. It really helps one understand many difficult and disturbing passages in the Old T...

Yeah my post did take a slightly more solemn tone following on from your more light-hearted comment :lol: Yeah, well, Stu, it's the first day back to work, school and the real world for many of us, so I just figured discussing hell on the equivalent of a Monday might be just too much for some, haha.

On a serious side, yeah, loneliness just burns one's soul, to the point of you just feel depressed and are merely existing.

Well, I had a "hell" experience once: My mother-in-law came and stayed for TEN DAYS!!! :( Just kidding (well, kind of.) However, the most feared words I can ever hear my wife say, are, "My mother's coming for a visit." :esurprised: :esurprised: :esurprised: Be afraid, be VERY afr...

Is that everyone everywhere head for head?

Happy New Year, Phil.

Absolutely, Danny - Godspeed to you in 2012!

Happy New Year, EVERYone - wishing God's blessings upon you all for 2012!

it's not fair to characterize all Calvinists in that manner. And nor would I want to. I believe in perhaps four of the five points myself. And I do apologize to Byblos if I have miscategorized him as a Five Point Calvinist, although he does seem to support it and apparently is irritated at my and o...

Do you really have a point to make Philip other than just asserting the same thing over and over again? Yes, Byblos, I do have a point - one you obviously avoided by making ME the focus, and not answering my questions. My post asks an obvious question: why would any Five Point Calvinist think it of...

I find it bewildering that folks that believe that a person must be regenerated before they can believe in God, that there is NO choice before ANYONE to personally decide whether or not to embrace God, are hanging out on a website with a key part of its mission statement being to “encourage skeptics...

Byblos: 2. Do we have any inherent power within us to save ourselves? Philip: No, but we DO have free will to respond as God enlightens and draws - responding positively to his drawing will result in his leading us all the way to salvation - we cannot do it without His drawing. But he also foreknow...
