    Christian having to learn Evolution in school- need advice

    I will add now that I will leave this. Neither of us is going to convince the other. You are free to believe in your understanding of the Biblical accounts as I. I also think it is besides the point of the thread, and also a huge waste of time. We can research in our spare time on the...

    Christian having to learn Evolution in school- need advice

    I was hoping that my statements would not lead a debate over this nor was I trying to make a generalisation on Genesis, but it seems like it will. I must congratulate you on your ability to cherry-pick select statements, and as a counter for your method of argumentation, I will now prove...

    Christian having to learn Evolution in school- need advice

    Valid point to an extent, except you need to remember the audience that Genesis was aimed at and the part of the world at the time. The people in ancient Mesopotamia and the surrounding didn't really have access to the understandings of the ancient Chinese and Hindus or even the ancient Greeks...

    Christian having to learn Evolution in school- need advice

    If you mean it has not been "proven" in terms of the scientific method whereby one can repeatedly experiment and prove via empirical evidence attempt after attempt an unchanging principle, then yes it's not proven. In that case, Jesus is not proven either, because no one can demonstrate the...

    Christian having to learn Evolution in school- need advice

    Evolution is not a lie, it has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt as being true. How do you know that it is a lie without even studying it? You are sure that you know exactly how the Earth and we were created? Really? It has confounded the greatest minds both believers and unbelievers...

    is it a sin to cut your hair?

    It is likely that Jesus looked something like this: The Real Face Of Jesus - What Did Jesus Look Like? - Popular Mechanics He would have blended in, remember when Judas was betraying him, he had to point out to the soldiers who Jesus was. So he wouldn't have been easily distinguishable from...

    At a fork in the road

All of you touched on many points which I have been reading, I had many questions floating around in my mind last night, but did the make decision last night to carry on regardless of how I feel...

    At a fork in the road

    I am a stage now where I'm very confused about God. I find myself wondering, is there a point in praying? Why do we need to ask God for anything in prayer? There are plenty of people who do not pray and seemingly get alone fine, there are plenty of people who do not believe and achieve much in...

    What drives a faith-filled person to suicide?

    I pose this question in light of some recent news I got of someone I know of, but did not know personally. The young lady was genuinely a helpful, kind, very energetic young woman that lead and inspired hundreds if not thousands of people. I am not exaggerating. From social Christian events to...
