Forgive me for answering your question with a question,.. but I'm just curious how unbelievers make it through life without the grace of God.

That's OK. For many of us your question doesn't even compute. I don't know what that "grace of God" is supposed to do, and I'm find without whatever it is.

Sorry, but all that proves is that Jesus existed historically. It takes faith to believe that He is who He said He was which is the Son of God. (Which I have a lot more faith to believe that then I do with the fact that you and I come from monkeys. Even though I doubt my faith in God sometimes,.. I could never have enough faith to be an atheist besides the fact that I love Jesus. :) )

Sorry, but this is a jumbled mess.

Your speaking in a language that I do not recognize.

Quite well thank you. I have a very nice fulfilled life.







So you mean to tell me that neither of you have stress in your life or have done things that you really wish you hadn't and can't get over?

Raised Catholic but agnostic now. I didn't even know there were any Christians who did NOT accept the Theory of Evolution as the best scientific explanation for the diversity of life we see on planet Earth, past and present, until I moved from the Denver Colorado area to the more fundamentalist Christian part of the country Michigan. The nuns at school taught the best available science in science class during the week and the Bible in Sunday school. This never seemed to be a contradiction for them. When I got to Michigan and learned about creationists it was like "people really still believe that?"

And you also said that it was impossible for a Christian to believe in evolution at all.

Yes .... the evolution theory as science puts forth is in direct conflict with the Genesis account.

You dont ”belive” in evolution.

Evolution=observed phenomena.

The theory of evolution=explains how it works.

You just accept how physical reality works, no belief needed.

No, that's not what we said. Does the grace make you never experience such things?

Not everything is. Just the fact that we evolved from monkeys.

No, but God's love, grace, and mercy helps you get through it all.

Humans did not evolve from monkeys.

The ToE says humans are apes that share a ancestor with modern monkeys.

I make it the same way you do. There are billions of humans who are alive, and billions more who have died, not relying on your concept of god to get through life. I know you are confident that your god is real--but how do you explain the billions of people who don't and who don't need that god?

This is a helpful link. Humans do not come from monkeys--we have common ancestry with great apes.
Also, this link about genetics and apes.

Humans are classified by science and are placed among the animal kingdom.

God says animals and humans were created differently are different creations and were created on different days.

Humans were created in the image of God .... not in the image of animals.

Apes are animals ... humans are not animals according to His word.

People believe differently ... so be it.

People either believe His Word .... or not.

”God” hasnt said anything. People who has said they speak for god(s) have said plenty.
