Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | A question to Christians(or anyone religious)
Is there anything that would lead you to believe there is no God?
Or is it something that you don't question, or something that you are afraid to question?
edit.. : sh*t! accidentally posted in the formal debates subforum.. could a mod please move this to the general forum?

I've NEVER met anyone who felt this way about science.

I'm not afraid to question it and I have questioned it many times.
I've considered, deeply, the big questions regarding my beliefs: The suffering/freewill/all powerful God conundrum, evolution etc. and my beliefs are still strong. If you think there's something I haven't considered that could challenge my faith then please let me know and I will let you know the results. I believe I have felt God's presence and he listens to, and answers, my prayers. I may sound like a nutjob but I'm not brain washed and I'm not unintelligent.

Saying this doesn't necessarily mean people don't have a right to be offended. |

"No offence" means you don't mean for anyone to take offence...

Reps: 520 (power: 0) | | | i consider myself a person searching for the truth, and i continue searching all the time, taking others views into consideration and testing them to see whether they are true or not. I am a Christian myself, but i am also a biology science student, so i really have seen both sides and i must say that evolution has a lot of assumptions in it and a lot of knots compared with creation. ive watched and listened to numerous lectures about evolution, and i still dont see it for reasons i wont go into unless your interested in hearing them. |

Actually, I've met one on the flatearthsociety forums. He goes by the name of "science_is_satanism" I believe. (Although I'm almost certain he's a troll)
Btw, something that struck me as odd is that the VAST majority of flat earthers were athiests. http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum...?topic=10538.0
