[QUOTE="Darkhorse, post: 72594107, member: 120609"] This may make absolutely no sense to you, but I'll try anyway: The center of being a Christian is a personal relationship with Christ. Everything else is history, and detail, and wisdom (way beyond human wisdom). Christianity does not conflict with science, but many Christians believe it does, so it's probably very confusing to you. I have a foot in both "camps", and have had almost my whole life. My (scientifically literate) family greatly helped my understanding in this respect. Your "test" is not testing for behavior, but faith. How can you have faith in (or a relationship with) someone you can't see and that you question whether they even exist? By experience. Begin with prayer. Not formal ritualistic prayers, or King James English, just a conversation; lots of questions, lots of honesty, lots of detail about your doubts (like here). Don't expect Charleton Heston to speak from the sky, but listen in your mind and heart for answers. [/QUOTE]
