Evidence for God from Science

Blob, didn't read all of what you said, but I was referring to biological machines of incredible complexity that make the most advanced machine of man pale in comparison....not literal gears and grease machines such as an engine... With all due respect perhaps you might be kind enough to take the t...

Sorry, what I meant was that the theory of Darwinian Evolution/Neo-Darwinian Evolution teaches that everything came naturally That's still not it. Evolution refers only to how life progresses once it has already started. with no reference to God setting it into motion. Not at all. No. My mother is ...

I read when I was younger but barely remember it.

Okay, people who are in favor of Darwinian Evolution/Neo-Darwinian Evolution, I'm unsure what you mean by in favour of evolution. If you mean that as a theory evolution provides a fruitful mental tool for thinking about the diversity of life then I guess I am. I'm unclear as to the distinction betw...

Devolution is the handing down of power from one level to a lower level I always thought... Yes, devolution is a political term to my ears too. Scotland is devolving from England, for example. It makes no sense to use it in biology. And, blobby, your second statement shows you do not understand irr...

Yes I am familiar with that site and have read a couple of adventist books. However one also needs know Adventists themselves as well as go to non-Adventist sources to get the full picture.

I'm not an SDA but know a few and have been to a church service, a degree ceremony and holidayed with adventists. I don't know everything and have to say the dancing thing is a new one on me. But anyway... Adventism all goes back to the Great Dissapointment of 1844. A lot of (American) christians si...

Two things occur to me. Firstly I'm rather confused as to what the distinction between evolution and devolution actually is. Evolution is neither progress nor regress - merely change. In natural history the increase in size of brain in human ancestors is called evolution; yet the loss of flight in m...

There's nothing cuter than a baby koala!

Thank you for opening up, that was an interesting post Thinker. In fact this is the sort of insight I came to this forum for. In "real" life it can be difficult to probe people's religious beliefs because you risk causing offense. On-line the anonymity seems to help.

Thanks again.

Okay, well thanks for addressing the question. I am new here and I appreciate you taking the time to talk patiently with me. I agree that someone who says "there is no god and I am not prepared to say I might be wrong about that" is probably exercising faith. But I don't feel I am. Do you ...

If I can steal the title of a book, I don't have enough to to be an atheist...

Did you see my question?

If people would like to continue discussion with me I'd be very happy but perhaps we should start a new thread? We don't want to send the intro thread off topic.

Well, in my opinion, your mother converted because she found truth, she "tested all things" as stated in the Bible. People who accept Jesus do have a life-altering experience that lasts a lifetime :P. As it happens she was hit by a bus, almsot died, went in a coma and met Jesus (she is pe...

Oh, faith and doubt can go along together-they aren't opposites, they can exist at the same time. :-p lol Like, I used to have doubts about the OT and violence...but it didn't mean I didn't believe in Christianity...I just wasn't sure about some things, which lead me to read up about it. I agree. I...
