You missed the whole point of what you quoted. I used that example to show if we just evolved how do we know what is right or wrong? Where did the information come from? Isn't evolution pretty much all about survival of the fittest? So shouldn't the weak die off so evolution can take its course and produce stronger animals?
Ah, let's take Thunderf00t's example of the piranhas. They're known as ''killing machines'' right? They don't believe in a god and still they don't kill eachother, where do they get their moral code of not killing eachother from then?
Can you prove God doesn't exist?
Why do believers/creationists always ask this. Let's put it the other way: Can you prove God does exist?
Sexual orientation is not necessarily determined by genes. It is a controversial hypothesis open to much debate.
Also,I and people like me would never commit or endorse murders of gays,abortion doctors,or any others with whom we disagree. Murder is condemned as sin in the Bible.
And the Bible is written by some people who didn't even know the Earth was round...
What happens after a major flood? Does the water stay where it is? No, it slowly recedes. All of the land masses on the earth show clear evidence of massive water drainage. Just view the photos from the NASA satellites.
If there was a massive flood the water would still be where it is, the pressure of the water wouldn't allow the sand to be loose enough to ''escape'' in the ground. Like why are there still oceans then?
For your melted iceberg part, the oceans won't rise that much. Maybe a couple of inches but not much.
3 metres or about 10 foot... The reason why is the icebergs have already displaced their weight in the water. It is just like filling a glass of water with ice and the ice melts. The cup doesn't overflow with water. Instead it pretty much stays at the same level it was at when the ice was still frozen.
Because the density of ice is only a little bit more than water, although it still rises, only a very little bit, almost unnoticable. And still most of the ice is on land > Antartica...
The worst thing I would ever ask Jesus to do to you would be to change your mind about what you think. I would never go around asking Jesus to smite people just because they don't agree with me.
No of course not, because he can't, he's dead... If he ever existed... The most precious gift God has given to all of us is our free will. He will never force you to believe a certain way. He presents you with evidence of Himself all through creation.
blablabla... It is up to you how you interpret it. You look at millions of dead things buried in sediment all over the world and see minute changes brought on by evolution. I see the history of the Genesis flood recorded for all to see. The flood could not have been local as it covered the highest mountains on those fascinating tectonic plates you mentioned. We could both argue with each other for eternity, each trying to use the physical world and all its components to convince the other of the validity of our points, but that is really where it all comes to a head. What is our particular interpretation of the evidence?
You know what the main difference is between evolution and creation.
Well first of all, evolution or science is not a religion, neither is ''Darwinism'', you don't believe in science, you must accept it because you have to deal with it every day. Secondly, for accepting evolution you must know something about Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Geology, History, Paleontology, and even Society and Economy for the evolution of the human... For ''believing'' in Creationism you don't have to know anything, just say: ''God did it.'' That's the problem with most people, they think it's too complicated to understand, don't want to understand and for their own easyness they label the name ''God'' on it...
Btw, it's called Evolution Theory, so it's already been proven...
My question is, why are you cutting yourself off from the spiritual part of your being? You should be just as determined to find out as much as you can about the possibilities of your spiritual life as you are to try to explain your physical world.
Where are you talking about?... Intelligence demands to know the reason for its existence. Be curious. Check Him out. Think for yourself. Ask many, many questions. If you really search for Him with an open mind and spirit, He will be more than happy to meet you.
._. yeah! Just like meeting the Tooth Fairy? There are many atheists who disliked Christians and God.
You can't dislike something that doesn't exist... They set out to disprove His existence and the Bible only to find their path led them right to Him. I would suggest the author, Josh McDowell and his book,
Evidence that Demands a Verdict and read
Confessions of a Former Atheist by John UpChurch as a starting point. Use your intelligence and prove them wrong or prove them right but let it be you that does the thinking and honest searching.
...huh... I don't get the last part... But do you really think I'm going to search for my answers on the holy ''Answers in Genesis''? No... why does every creationist/believer in god, link to answersingenesis?
Since it's 8000 light years from us away, the Gamma Rays would take at least 8000 light years to get near us. And Gamma Rays travel slower than light (If I'm right), so it would take even more longer. I can't find much of the age of the stars, otherwise we would be able to calculate a possibly date...
