Until that burden is satisfied, your earlier post is fallacious and therefore we don't necessarily worship anything, let alone nature. |

Once again, that 'burden of proof' was met (and exceeded) in the first century: Originally Posted by Acts 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

The problem is meshing the Bible with real life. What are these infallible proofs? How can we test/observe/repeat them? This stuff was 2,000 years ago.

It's called circular reasoning. I'm sure your next post will contain the "proof" you talked about, right? |

Our motto is: God said it --- that settles it.
People must think we're kidding when we say that.
