Do you speak for all Christians?
Yes, all real Christians!
I though the masses believed in religion? Except for the parts of science that gives them computers, internet, and satellite TV.
Will you address my previous posts?
I am a Christian and I strongly believe the Bible is the word of God. I always had a bias for the Genesis account of creation. Over the years, I have been involved in many discussions regarding the question: evolution or creation? (at work, in Bible study groups, witnessing, and in blogs and chats such as this). As a result I have spent a lot of time researching and reading all I can find on the topic. I must admit that after listening to many arguments for the theory of evolution, at first I was attempting to find how God may have used evolutionary processes to accomplish the creation described in the Bible.
What I have found is that while the Bible is not a science book, it is scientifically accurate. I am not aware of any scientific evidence that contradicts the Bible. By that I do not mean that I believe in what the Bible reveals because I have found some scientific proposals that agree with it. It means, I believe, that science continues to support knowledge recorded in the Bible over three thousand years ago.
As we continue to grow our scientific knowledge of the information stored in our cells, I am sure we will find more evidence that supports a theory of intelligent design. As that happens I think everyone scientists, theologians and lay people will gain a much bigger and more accurate picture of everything. Perhaps even something we all can agree on.
I believe you are afraid to test your god. Even AV evaded the subject.
I believe that your fear is based on the fact that the men that founded the Christian religion wrote into the text of of their book that testing of this god must not be done. In today's world, we would say "no flash photography" so as not to capture the wires and other trickery of the stage magician.
I believe this statement to be true:
"There's no reason, in theory, why god's presence couldn't be measured or detected in some way. The only reason that believers claim that god "can't" be detected in this way is because god *isn't* detected, and so a vast and intricate rationale has to be devised to explain this vast, loving, eternal, all-powerful "something" which is, in every external, objective respect, indistinguishable from nothing." -- NMS on alt.atheism
I believe that you are unable to demonstrate that gods, like those mentioned in the Christian Bible, are even possible.
But your definition is wrong.
Why are you trying to redefine a word that's already defined?
Faith is belief in something without evidence. That's it. If you believe something for which no evidence exists then you have faith.
In your dreams!!! Where do you guys come up with this stuff?
Firstly, I only endorse Christianity!! Secondly, just because this world and probably some unbelievers posing as pseudo-christians, tried to put a definition to faith and religion (because they had no clue) and we might disagree with their definition does not mean that we in anyway try to denigrate the concepts of either and LAST of all to gain parity with science!!! Hello!!!
You are so blinded by your worship of science that you can't even see or hear for the matter what we are saying... Does the phrase "science can take a hike" sound ANYTHING like we want to gain parity with science.
You guys are so used to patting each other on the back and drooling all over yourselves that you have NO IDEA or CLUE that others standback and wonder just HOW you could not see the truth!! It is so clear!!
Here's a test to show you just where we stand with your views and so called science. Imagine this.... you are at 0 degrees and WAY over on the other side at 180 degrees is where we are... can you see that??? AND..... we DON'T .... that's a BIG DO NOT.... agree with nor WANT to agree with you on the science that does not agree with the BIBLE. We are not wishing or hoping that you can help us to see it better in any way.
The only ones who will do that are pseudo-christians or faux-chrisitians that are out there. They have no idea what faith, religion, God or Jesus is all about anyway. They build their religion on sand just as Jesus said because they do not do the things that He has told them. Science "so called" is part of that sandy ground and will someday crumble. ANYONE who bases their belief on science will fall with it. Kaboom!!
NO, NO, NO, we want no part of the devastation and destruction that inevitably will happen.
Our faith is built on nothing less than Jesus and HIS righteousness. On Christ the solid Rock we stand ALL other ground is sinking sand!!!
I was just over at Wikipedia and it says there are over 38,000 Christian sects. Which one did you just endorse?
And what if Jesus was a myth?

At the risk of running afoul of a certain well-known internet meme, I'm going to venture a guess that this guy's NOT a parody, but the genuine article.
Let me clear that up for you, Crazy. I can see how you could have gotten that mixed up by my wording. I believe in the one true God, Allah. He is the ONE true God. All of mankind was made in the image and likeness of the one true God. The Creator of all mankind. He therefore is our Common Ancestor. Of course, Adam and Eve are also, our common ancestors.Let me clear that up for you, Crazy. I can see how you could have gotten that mixed up by my wording.

Allah has no part there. Allah is a false god. A lie.
If Jesus died for our sins, why do people still get sent to hell?
You will note I said science that is contrary to God's Word. I did not say all science.
Regarding your signature... People don't get sent to hell. They are going there through birth BUT because Jesus died for their sins, they don't HAVE to settle for that. All they have to do is believe and receive personally what He has done for them. It's only those who refuse or reject His provision to keep them out of Hell that go there.
I can sort of understand it, though. I mean, for a great number of people, religion provides a "comfort zone." Because I don't need that particular crutch in my life, however "truth" reveals itself is fine and dandy with me. But for those folks who have to have that comfort zone, I can understand their hesitation to abandon it.
I wonder where you ever got the idea that anyone really cares what your opinion is. You actually think you are a god of some sort and the masses can't wait to follow your every word. I suppose in a sense and with some silly people you are right.
How can you tell if someone has blocked you? Because she isn't responding to my Muslim evangelizing. How else will she hear the word of Allah?I have a feeling Inan3 blocked me after realizing I backed her into a corner where the only way out was preaching.
I keep seeing creationists say that science is steadily proving the Bible true. What science do you all keep talking about? Can't be genetics, biology, geology... I'm not quite sure what you are talking about?
You can't just 'pick and choose' your science, like you can with scripture. You ether accept the scientific method or you don't. When you become an evolution-denier, you reject the scientific method, and thus spit in the face of all scientific inquiry that benefits you every single day.
The scientific method used to discover and create the technology you use to post on this forum is the same scientific method that discovered evolution.
The theory of evolution then developed through people writing books that typically contain two things (i) artists drawings that show the ages and names of the layers of the earth and (ii) artists drawings showing plants and animals arranged in a family tree. The continuous printing of them for more than a hundred years does not prove the theory.
