I got thinking about it, just like you can't prove you have an invisible pony, (name him bill,) I can't prove that my God does truly exist, I only have faith. But there is evidence that supports my beliefs, like the only bone in your body that can re-grow on it's own is a rib. Correlating to God using Adam's rib to make Eve. Now think of this, you said you had to put the same "scrutiny" to religion as the opposing theories. Well I do not follow a "Religion," the literal meaning of religion is: Man (humans) trying to bind themselves to God through works. What do I believe? Christianity, Jesus Christ came to earth and died for the sins of the world. (that's just a summary.) Now, during his time on earth he did amazing things. He healed people who had leprosy, made the lame walk and the blind see, well yeah, doctors have come up with ways to fight blindness and so on, but, they didn't have anything during that day and age. He taught, and people had faith, well the religious leaders of the day say Jesus as a threat, they were cashing in and making a huge buck with their jobs. They ended up killing him, but they did more then just kill him, the brutally beat him, then they brought him to the roman soldiers and they beat him almost to the point of death, then they crucified him, once again, only a summary, so if he truly wasn't the Son of God like he claimed, who was he?
Thanks for talking, but i want to say one last thing, the reason evidence is sufficient for me when you may not see any, (then again you may see allot.) The Bible says that even if Christians don't share the rocks will, and this is how: Have you ever studied rocks? They are complex, and yet we treat them like the simplest thing on earth, rocks come in all shapes and sizes, just seeing the detail in each one is enough proof, according to God, thanks again for the friendly convo!
"So I took a step back, admitted that humans are flawed and we cannot understand many things and came to this conclusion." That's close to what I believe, we can't understand very much, the Bible even says something similar: It says that God can do things we can NEVER understand, why? Well, he's God, yeah, I've contemplated him being here forever, past present and future, it confuses me. But entertain this idea: What if we are not supposed to understand? God has given us a huge capacity of knowledge, (I believe God gave it to us, you being Atheist may not.) We what causes so and so diseases and so on, stuff that 2000 years ago people would have cut off their right arm to know. So, I could name other things that Christians debate among ourselves that we DON'T understand. And, me "engaging" is what I have been told to do when talking, try not to offend them and LISTEN to what they have to say.
It's alright, long is good, that was a great explanation. So, it's like a baking soda volcano? (No offense meant by this comparison, I am not as educated on neutrons and protons as you.) A chemical reaction expands the ingredients and thus we have the eruption. But my Question is, where did this matter come from? How did it get there?
Nice, that was unexpected. Alright, now the big bang? That's a big explosion, right? How can an explosion, which destroy things, make a planet bigger? Isn't that what happened? that doesn't really seem to add up, and hey, feel free to ask me any Questions you might have.
OK, I'll start with the Question of evolution and then work to that, this is my problem evolution: You believe that everything got here by chance, aka, the big bang, and we came from cells. Now let me put it this way, what are the chances that I take a wrist watch and take it apart, put all of the pieces in a brown paper sack and bury it, what are the chances that 50 years from now it's intact, perfect like the day it was bought? zero to none,
Hey, I want to join your discussion on beliefs in the "Atheist and Agnostics group," but I'm a Christian, I want to present my case without joining the group. So here is a Q for you: What evidence is there that God doesn't exist?
