Would you even go so far to believe that a man named Jesus walked the earth roughly 2000 years ago? If so, then don't you find it interesting that people wrote in the old testament 1000's of years before Christ's birth & death about how He was gonna die of crucifixion which wouldn't even be invented until the Roman empire? |

You can't prove anything about something that does not exist. If you can't prove my flying dragon being a bogus idea, then we can't prove God or a creator does not exist. You might think earth is so complex and at the same time being able to allow humans to survive in it is very impossible and therefore makes you think that there's God or a creator. However, if earth was not able to allow us survive here, we won't be able to debate in this forum today. Somewhat difficult to grasp for a relgious folk, but once you stop blaming everything on God, things can be pretty simple... |

Like I said before, I believe in a creator. Most atheist believe the big bang theory that has to do with super strings that vibrate on the 9th dimension. Prove that! You can't. IT'S FAITH! One gentleman here actually said it's a fact...... Far from it. Just a couple 100 years ago it was a fact that the world is flat.... Your last statement rubs off to me that you have an assumption that I (or Christians) blame everything on God. Far from it. I believe in free will & so do all Christians. Quote:
http://www.forumterrace.com/Questions/Historically.html "Could all of this been fabricated by Biblical writers? The evidence from archaeology says NO! As quoted in the New York Times, Dr. Nelson Gluech said, "No archaeological discovery has ever been made that contradicts or controverts historical statements in Scripture." Henry M. Morris observes: "...there exists today not one unquestionable find of archaeology that proves the bible to be in error at any point."  Google all you want....I hope you don't have a negative standpoint about my religion from encountering a fanatical denomination of it. What I'm trying to say is, all Christians are not Catholic, Protestant, Lutheran, ect.... I myself am a non-denominational Christian. Like other religions, in Christianity there are corrupt denominations such as the KKK. Also, what is unique to Christianity is cults that use the Christian name to recruit members such as the Jehovah's Witness. I do not mean to offend anyone who is a jehovah's Witness but, one of my pass times is studying religions & I can present enough info to back my claim. My beliefs are mine. Yours are yours. Just understand that if your belief is atheism, it is your faith. |

just because the bible holds certain accurate points in history that doesnt make everything the bible true. simply put...if i write a work of fiction and start with " the day after 9/11, small lizard gremlins came out of the ground and craved goats milk from baby aliens"......by that logic...since 9/11 happend then the rest of the story must be true. right? chris let me ask you something....do you believe in dinosaurs??? if you say no, ill stop talking to you....forever!

Also, the 1st man I quoted is Jewish, has HUGE credentials, & is widely respected. He delivered the benediction at President John F. Kennedy's inauguration in 1961, discovered remains of the advanced Nabataean civilization, wrote many books with high acclaim, & received a PhD. Yes, I believe in dinosaurs & I know where your getting with this. Even though you most likely don't know this, the Bible mentions dinosaurs & describes them a few times. Read this: http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/dinos.shtml then hit me up & try to pop some holes in it.... I'll try my best to answer your questions.  Just as long as we keep it calm, cool & collected, I think we can both learn a lot about each others beliefs. |

 Well put. Nothing comes from nothing. And then the atheist asks, "Well where did God come from? as he tries in vain to apply human chanartacteristics to a being so great and powerful that He could create the entire universe and everything in it. Our (humans) trying to grasp that is like explaining to a dog how we build cars or walked on the moon. The fact that they (dogs/atheists) can't grasp it doesn't mean that it doesn't/didn't happen.

Although it is controversial as to whether the passages in the Book of Job are references to dinosaurs, they could be. More importantly, there is nothing in the Bible that refutes the existence of dinosaurs. It is the misinterpretation (but mostly ignorance) of the Bible by a select few that has caused them to deny the existence of dinosaurs. This makes everyone else look stupid, especially in a time when religion is under such close scrutiny (much of which is well-deserved, I am sad to admit). Check out the threads in my sig. As Chris has said, science and religion can co-exist...and do in the minds of most thinking Christians. Anyone who denies the existence of dinosaurs is either misinformed or deceived. Those who hold to the young earth doctrine- that the earth is only 6000 years old- have not seen the possibilities of multiple creations, which are not contradicted by the Bible. In fact, Genesis 1 and 2 support this. There will always be ignorance (lack of knowledge) among any group. Try not to cram all Christians into the sam bin. Sadly, most never read their Bible unless sitting in a pew...if then. They get their info from other MEN, who got theirs from other MEN, and so on. That's why we get entire congregations, sects and even denominations believing something that is NOT in the Bible. (Hey, many still believe that we become angels when we die. Why are the angels depicted during Christmas all female when, in fact, there has never been a female angel described in the Bible?) Sadly, Christians deserve much of the criticism being leveled at them. So many have gone astray just as many Jews are so in name only. As Revelation says "You have left your first Love." But as the bumper sticker says "Christians are not perfect, just forgiven." That is the real message: We've all messed up big time but forgiveness is available...if you truly desire it. Thinking that we don't need that is the greatest deception of all.
