If so, then it's the fault of those who push ToE over creationism.The problem here is that creationism has become a multi billion dollar industry in Americal...
Awww ... what's wrong?Well....do Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky or Louisiana fit that description..?
Because they are both the most religious states AND amongst those in the bottom 20% of educational rankings....
Awww ... what's wrong?
Can't they pass because they don't know the difference between Homo erectus and Homo ergaster?
Maybe they put "global flood" down on their test, instead of "local flood?"
Or maybe they couldn't remember if it was "Big Bang" or "Big Explosion?"
Or maybe they think flying squirrels actually fly?
Or maybe they thought Pluto was our 9th planet?
Or maybe they called it a "child in the womb," instead of "fetus?"
Good -- (except for the HS diplomas, that is).Oh no, much broader than that.... those states have the lowest population percentages for graduate degrees, undergraduate degrees and high school diplomas...
That is not true. Muslims do not experience God. They believe that God can not interact with mere men. You would have to be a prophet for God to be able to be experienced in anyway.
Why did you conclude that you had no reason to believe any of these things?
You didn't ask me this, but if you said that you said you experienced Gods...I would then have to say that you did not in fact experience God. If you are you know it.
The law of inertia holds that a body in motion tends to stay in motion while a body of rest tends to stay at rest. To put a body at rest into motion a force has to be applied to it which is greater than the force of inertia. In other words, objects do not simply move in static environments unless they ARE moved. If you see something move without any natural force moving in, then that provides some evidence of an unnatural force. Having seen such a thing you might not be able to identify the unnatural force, but you certainly can know there is one. Autokinesis as anything other than an optical illusion cannot be explained scientifically, but millions have experienced it.
When you see one evidence of something unnatural or supernatural you might wonder if it could be true. When you have many, many such evidences over a lifetime you cease to wonder and accept that there are things in this world that science can never explain. When you see the power of the Lord completely change a person's life; when you see and experience things that are truly miraculous; then you know that God is real. As I said, this is a knowledge that you can never experience until you first come to God through faith.

If someone claims they have personally experienced God and they believe and it makes them a better person, I say good for you and keep believing.
First of all Humans ARE apes. We belong to the Great African Ape family.
Man's classification, not God's. God created man in His own image. God is not an ape. However, the Bible never states where Cain's wife came from, so it's entirely possible that YOU might be an ape. I'm not. I was created by God.
The closest my ancestors ever came to apes was feeding them on the ark. Again, I can't speak for yours.Secondly we did not evolve from apes; we have a common ancestor with our ape cousins.
You're deliberately making a false statement.This whole issue of creationism was born in America and is slowly being propagated throughout the world especially in the poorer regions where science education is lacking.

If you never knew God you were never a Christian.You are assuming that I have never "come to God through faith". I have been a Christian for most of my life. I am familiar with all the feelings you describe; they're not alien to me. The question is whether they actually demonstrate what they purport to demonstrate; that is, knowledge of a deity.
If you never knew God you were never a Christian.
If you DID know God, then you know you're lying now, because He exists.
God didn't go anywhere. You did.

Hey, YOU'RE the one claiming a God with whom you once had a personal relationship doesn't exist. Don't blame me if that sounds foolish. I can understand how a person could loose their faith and even become bitter at God, but claiming He doesn't exist has only one of two explanations:Predictable response from christians who simply can't bear the fact that someone may have believed at some point and chose not to any longer because of acquired knowledge.
You gotta love christians ability to judge everyone.
