Death just is a step into His presence.
How many times would be considered "not unusual"?

Uh, no. Quality of life has vastly improved as the U.S. has moved to become a secular nation.
Death just is a step into His presence.How does he see it differently?
Not unusual.
Kinda hard to love someone when you aren't sure they exist.
This is nuts. We should make the seemingly wrong choice because God (who we only believe if we made the seemingly wrong choice) said so?He likes when we choose Him even when it seems to hard to do so. It allows us to learn to love Him rather than just worship without feelings. He loves us so He wants us to be able to love Him too.
That is why it is a personal relationship. You don't start out that way.
He loves you and died on the Cross for your sins -- start from there and let the chips fall where they may.I tried for years to initiate a relationship with god. No dice. I suppose in some ways I'm jealous of those of you who claim to have found this relationship for yourselves. I'm not used to failure.

That's fine. Then it shouldn't be celebrated that a child was prevented from His presence. (i.e. If you believed this, you wouldn't be making the claim that the child's survival was a miracle in the first place)Death just is a step into His presence.
I don't know exactly. This link indicates that they happen several times a year in Nebraska. Considering Nebraska's high Christian population, I guarantee you there are several people praying for a sign when one goes off. This is by no means an extraordinary event.How many times would be considered "not unusual"?
So you have been listening.
He loves you and died on the Cross for your sins -- start from there and let the chips fall where they may.
Uh...Christians.
If you know someone exists it is pretty hard to doubt their existence after that. We doubt in other things, but once you know God is real how do you unknow that?
YES or NO -- did Darwin [hopefully] make a deathbed conversion?
In your opinion, of course.

We both agree that the U.S. has become more secular over the years. While it should be obvious, here is some evidence that quality of life in the U.S. has drastically improved.

I don't know. I think that if providing incontrovertible evidence is forcing you to do something, there isn't much free will in existence from any perspective.Well, it's a pretty standard excuse that I've been hearing for years.
But it creates a false dichotomy in a way. And atheist like me would require pretty strong evidence to believe in God. But that would pretty much constitute proof, which would eliminate my choice in the matter. But it then seems that the only other alternative is absolutely nothing at all to try to convince me. But there's a lot of middle-ground; He would know exactly how much I would need to set me on the proper path while at the same time not being so much as to remove all doubt.
You got enough to convince you without over-riding your free will. Why don't I?
Still waiting on that wrong number phone call...
Yes, the key word is gaining. But lets address the issue here:The first one:
From 1820 to 1950 the GDP per capita doubled or more than doubled
From 1950 to 1973 it almost doubled but didn't quite make it
From 1973 to 1990 it is losing ground about 2100 is all it increases
From 1990 to 1998 it only gains around 4100
I'm not sure I follow. Do you consider death as a positive or a negative? (or positive but negative for loved ones?)I don't know if you really don't understand or you just want to argue. We as human beings do not want to lose love ones. That simple. They go on to a better place but we still don't want to see them go.
That website indicates that there were multiple ones the year the article was written. Aurora's happen all the time, but you just need a clear enough sky to see them. I think empirical evidence will work better than hearsay. What evidence would you like to provide? (I'm not sure what's changed atmospherically between now and 04If you look at the date it is 2004 and most all others are as well. It happened two times in that year. As I said before, people who have lived in the area longer than I claim that they have seen like one in twenty years.

From this we see the opposite of what you are claiming.

You must realize how utterly bad this argument is?
