No, it wasn't. The gospels and Acts are, at best, 2nd hand accounts. Paul didn't witness anything before his claimed Damascus road experience. And Revelation was written by John who wasn't born during Jesus' lifetime.The New Testament was written by eyewitnesses.
"Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good. Titus 3:1Why would it be oké to drive at 125 km/h when the speed limit is 120 km/h?
What divine rule do you break?
Everyone who isn't a believer Is bound under sin.
"For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all."
It's not the church that enforces it. God offers you mercy. If you don't accept, you are judged by him, not the church.
Sure. What do you want to learn?
Intelligent Design is a conjecture about biological life which rests on the assumption that the evolutionary process of variation and natural selection is not sufficient in all cases to produce the functional complexity which we observe in nature, that some biological structures would have required the intervention of an intelligent designer. ID does not treat of cosmology and just saying "God designed the universe" is not ID. ID is a specific proposal of the Discovery Institute of Seattle intended as a "wedge" (their language, not mine) to eventually force biblical creationism into public school science instruction alongside or even instead of biological evolution.
Intelligent design is the recognition by many astrophysicists, astronomers, mathematicians, and others, that the 125 very narrow parameters involving the physics that the universe runs on, show evidence of the universe being designed, and not a chance occurrence.
So assumptions that nobody ever actualy made.
That's the so-called "fine tuning" argument, not ID. ID does not come from physics or astronomy, but biology and biochemistry. It is a claim about living things, not the universe. (IDers may extend that concept to the whole universe and pre-existing fine-tuning claims.)
Though fundamentally, ID is a *political* project to redefine "creation science" in a non-religious form so it passes muster under the 1st amendment prohibition on establishment of religion in public schools. It was never scientific to begin with. It was a fig leaf.
Stick to that spin if it floats your boat.
That's pretty rich, considering your national anthem starts out: "O Canada! Our home and native land!"I would resist, just like the native Palestinians have done.
The problem is that the occupation are not neighbors. They are foreign invaders from across the sea.
And the Palestinians have given up over half of their [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] state. But the settlers keep taking more.
Do you really expect me to believe that?Scientists named a specimen. That's all they did.
LOLIn fact there’s a scientific law called the law of biogenesis that states life only comes from other life.
No, it wasn't. The gospels and Acts are, at best, 2nd hand accounts. Paul didn't witness anything before his claimed Damascus road experience. And Revelation was written by John who wasn't born during Jesus' lifetime.
Do I consider what to be proof of God?So do you consider this proof of god?
Yes, absolutely, asking questions that are off topic is useless, I agree. Being critical of people who have to answer questions that are off topic is also useless. It is refreshing to find something that we agree about.OK, I guess it is useless to ask why you have pursued an off-topic side discussion.
