Loudmouth, I haven't talked to you for a couple years but remember our bouts about evolution and the age of the earth. You are still on that warpath without change and I on mine. I would imagine thousands of posts arguing against your theories did nothing to change your mind - so there is no need for me to try after all that. I accept your position, just disagree!
That's true, only maybe 40%. But I've seen it polls that most Americans would consider themselves Christians (80+%). I don't know their hearts. You can be a staunch believer yet not go to church as long as you have a relationship with Christ and read your Bible or at least you've done a fair amount of study. Let's face it, faith comes by the WORD, so the more you study and nourish your spirit, the stronger your faith. 90% say they believe in God and only about 9% don't.
Since you've gone a lifetime without God in your life and no one can seem to convince you with evidence, I would say, just wait a little while longer and that your stubbornness will soon be broken. In the next couple years you just may experience God's wrath against those who reject Him. But then_ it may be too late? Being caught without God in the middle of The Great Tribulation Period will be terrifying. You asked for evidence (that is all around you), but denied it. As for the coming evidence, you will not. The Bible says as much as 2/3 of the population be will destroyed. After the last Trumpet sound , the Bowls of Wrath are released and no one repents; they just curse God and shake their fists at him. Let's say for argument sake, this happens and the world suddenly is thrown into cataclysmic events, will you pass it off as just man killing himself and natural causes, etc., or would that be convincing enough for you? Oh wait, one more thing, if that isn't enough, how about Jesus Himself descending from heaven? The Bible says, "Every eye will see Him." That's gonna be some shameful moment -- and you can thank all your mentors for that.
The Bible says many will perish and few are saved. For me I believe that one third of all people, tribes, tongues and nations will be saved. Two thirds will perish. In Heaven only one third followed in the rebellion against God. I tend to believe that only a remnant will survive WW3 to repopulate the earth. Maybe only 10% will remain. They will need to find a way to survive off of the grid. They suggest maintaining a vacation home that is off the grid.
You do not believe that Creation exists? Do you think this is some sort of a virtual world? Just a product of our imagination?
Creation is evidence for Creator: "For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse." Rom 1:20
There is no evidence for creationism, there is only evidence for creation. Can you prove that you exist?
The Bible does talk about the rainbow. Gen 9:3 "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth."
Actually you are the master of avoidence. You asked about the association between little people and rainbows and I give you what the Bible has to say on the subject. What makes your think that any product of your mind Trumps the Bible? As long as we are on the subject do you think that demons can put thoughts in peoples minds as some people suggest? Or do you think we are masters of our destiny and we create all our own delusions?
Not at all, this is called cause and effect. You are promoting a logical fallacy when you say we have an effect with no cause.
