Randy, you'll find nothing but open-mindedness here (open-minded really just means being willing to discuss differing opinions after all). We ask the same in return of you.
To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge".

Ok, Eric. What does it mean to be a flat earth theorist?

Rick and Murray, Flat Earth believers actually...well believe the earth is flat. There was a movement about it a few years ago. I don't know. I think this person might be trolling us.

Why is it so radical to fellow Christians that I believe the bible is true? Do you only pick and choose verses that suite your beliefs? The FET is not a joke, it is a theory based on lack of evidence for a round earth. Governments would like you to believe such conspiracy, such as the fraudulent moon landing and such.
"Space programs" are nothing more than systems for governments to milk more taxes from people.

I'm Svetoslav Alexanrov, 25 years old. I obtained my B.Sc. degree in Molecular Biology and M.Sc. degre in Plant Physiology in the University of Sofia.
I consider myself as an agnostic leaning to theism. I personally prefer Christian Universalism amongst many Christian-based theologies and hope for a greater salvation of all mankind.
I reject YEC, OEC and prefer accepting the theory of evolution.

Always good to have someone new who is grounded in Science and open to discussing spiritual matters with an open mind and heart.
Welcome and glad you are here.

Smart.. It appears that you have decoded some of G-d's will for mankind. That is that G-d only wants mankind to not only live in harmony with G-d, but in doing so that will ultimately reflect on how we love and respect others as well as this earth, the ecosystem, we live in..
The ultimate destiny therefore is love... That is what we wish to accomplish here..

My name is Paul, originally I'm from Alaska and currently in the US Air Force. I was raised in a Baptist/E-Free home but now lean towards the liturgical side of things, specifically Orthodoxy. Anyways I've been interested in science and history for quite a while but I do not hold degrees or certifications in either of those. I look forward to learning and chatting with ya'll. If there's anything else ask away!
