God has to be someone who create at the speed of humans? then y is He called God? so man cun do it in 6 days, God cannot also? then wads the diff btw man n God?
Originally posted by despondent:ok...so the atheists can wait for another 1000yrs for science to advance enuff to prove everything tat has yet to be proven...however, comes one problem, do these atheists have a long enuff life to live until tat day come when science disproves religion? hmmm...if they cun live tat long and it turns out tat theres a God which science still couldnt discover when they die, i wonder wad is gonna happen to them...
Another great possibility to think of
when u look at wad most of them say, its quite obvious they r not true atheists...the qns asked do not point to no God, but rather point to theres a God...the issue is abt whether God exists, not abt whether He is gd or evil...they r using ''God being bad'' as the basis tat He dun exists...its like saying terrorists are bad, so they dun exist...
Actually I think the problem is whether you want to believe or not.
exactly, ur statement summarises my paragraph of words...

Well, I can say with complete honesty and pride that science does not know all the answers to origins of life. There are theories with increasing evidence supporting it like abiogensis, the rise of organic molecules through geological processes and of course, the much assaulted and much proven evolution.But the eventual answer is "We don't know. Yet."
And that is the best answer you can have, as it encourages discovery, invention and improvement.
Yes, I agree that your reply is "Wow. Stunning" because after all that is said, "I can say with complete honesty and pride that science does not know all the answers to origins of life" and "eventual answer is "We don't know. Yet."
So what reasons do we have to "burn our Bible" and go to science?

"God did it"
Wow. Stunning. This leads to total stagnation and halt of scientific progress. All you'd had to do was sit in a cave, talk to your imaginary friend and hope to go to heaven when you die.
But lets say it is a theory.
Whats the evidence to back it up? The bible.
How do you know the events in the bible are true? Because the bible is god's word.
How do you know its god's word? Because the bible says so.
This, for those not trained in mathematical logic, is called circular logic, and is the absolute worst argument in existance.
QED, the bible is one of the absolute worst arguments in existance.
I agrees that some events in the Bible may not have happened exactly as it was described or may not even have happened at all.....
But so what? What is the purpose of the Bible?
And what's wrong with Bible being the Word of God?
Even if everything described in he Bible did not happen and they are "false"? The Bible when understood in the proper context is about the teachings that God wants us to follow - I.E. to love each other.
If everyone follows the teachings of love, compassion and charity, why would that be any harm?
Before I am misquoted, the Bible teaching is true from cover to cover.
The Bible is in no way in conflict with science.
So what's the problem?

2000 years ago, whatever the church or pastor said, you accept it, sort of like blind faith, no questions asked. if you asked or challenged it, the pastor or church will say you lack faith in god. when you ask them why there are earthquakes, they will tell you its act of god and if you query them further, they will tell you its fate, god plan or punishment to bad people who have sinned. this type of reply will gobsmacked you to your face. the list goes on and on.
Is this your answer to "Why is the Bible outdated? Because it was 2000 years old?" ?
If it is, then I can only tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Aiyah dun need to argue. People has been discussing this to death for so long and no one can come to a conclusion, you think u all can do it on a forum like SGFORUM?
I believe in God and believe the bible is true. But I can also accept another's opinion that they think it is false, wrong or whatever.
But then, I can only say, then you better be prepared to live or die with the fact that you might be wrong.

how could I have known someone who doesnt exist and appear only in fables as such.
Originally posted by Miracles&Prophecies:
Because Christ was born a man and He called God his father.
But you're right to me it was hell difficult to see past all that immense light into His face or even figure.
I think all religion is good just like sports.Sports good for the body and religion good for the spiritual.For those without religion do not dispair you can still learn spiritual developement by just participating positively in your everyday life.

Yes you could not have known something that doesn't exist. The very reason that God exists.
then mickey mouse, donald duck, superman, aquaman etc also exists.
