Evidence for God from Science

sinner..
You were not born guilty of sin because you hadn't done anything wrong. But I'm sure it wasn't too long before you managed to choose sin.

babies are innocent.

True, but when they get old enough to choose right and wrong, they ALL become sinners. Now why is that? Because it is their nature.

This subject hits close to home. I have a brother and a son who are homosexual. God's word clearly says that it is a sin to have sexual relations with someone of the same sex. God's word makes it clear that sex is meant for a married man and woman as they are "one flesh" for life. God's wo...

I converted to Christianity in my late teens, but evangelism led to questions, questions led to doubts and wanting answers, and these in turn led to apologetics. The apologetics thing lasted longer than expected -- 15 years (i.e., the whole span of my Christian life) and grad school pursuing a Ph.D...

Oh no, quite the opposite. There is a lot of truth to be had, just the "holy" books seem to be pretty dubious.

And what is your source and guide for truth?

Murderers and abortionists also 'play god' by determining who lives and dies. What makes a ball of cells so special anyway? There are sets of circumstances where you can say, hey this is okay. God aborts things all the time, what else would you call a miscarriage? Maybe we should go back to being n...

Yes but what about people who are not christians? Is it okay to persecute them and try to forcibly convert them? Also what about children? I think that they should be kept safe(from any religion) until they are old enough to make up their own mind. No, it is not okay to persecute or forcibly conver...

Hmmmm. I still don't buy this. To me, it would get to the point that I wouldn't be able to trust my judgment on any verse in the bible - if one seems clear, yet it "leaves stuff out," and another is clear and simply means what it says (then who can decide?). It seems odd to me that God wo...

I do see an erroneous definition of saved in Calvinism where a person is said to be born as one of God's elect chosen before the foundation of the world and therefore saved from birth leading to belief at some point in his life. For me, Ephesians 1 & 2 pretty much takes care of that. There can ...

I suppose Francis Schaeffer had a significant influence in my thinking early on. He repeatedly argued that the infinite-personal God is the only reasonable explanation for existence. I stated in another thread that atheists can prove a finite God does not exist, but it is impossible to prove the inf...

You might edit the topic to reflect that this has to do with genetic engineering of humans. It is a very difficult subject to grapple with since we don't have a bible verse that says, "thou shalt mess with chromosomes" etc. ;) Rather than God intervening with another tower of Babel event, ...

Thanks again, Dayage for your input. I find it quite helpful. As far as space, you are correct that there is much space between stars, galaxies, etc. But if there were no stars, galaxies, or anything with length, height and depth, I don't see how there could be space. The empty space between things ...

Here is a story about a lion raised on spaghetti, not meat although she later learned to eat meat.

Here is a link where you can download the paper on election as well as an outline.
I also have a few audio recordings on there.

As far as election: it is most certainly a biblical doctrine.
I have written an in depth thesis on the subject if you are interested.
