I didn’t read the survivors stories, but I did read history, and according to history, a lot more of those miracles were needed
No, all lies are sins but not all lies are equally sinful. Lying in order to cover up another sin is much worse than lying so you can save someone's life. God understands that in certain circumstances there is much more pressure to lie so something good can happen and He takes that into consideration in His judgements.
Not pure speculation, the believers in the SS theory were highly educated and intelligent scientists. But then as we learned more, the evidence all started pointing toward a universe with a beginning and an end, just as the bible teaches. Now in order to avoid the theistic implications some are trying to claim that multiverses have always existed but most of the evidence does not support that either.
Because cows are made out of beef, and beef is delicious! Now care to answer my question?
The problem with Christians who claim scientists are just now learning what the bible has always taught, is the bible has been the same for hundreds of years, yet nobody ever looked in the Bible and made these claims until Science discovered it. Then after it is announced by science, Christians look in the bible for something that can be interpreted as this newly scientific discovery, and proclaimed it was in the Bible all the time!
I will take that as a tacit admission that you were unable to refute the fact that Hitler was not a Christian.
Typical atheistic superficial and out of context interpretation of the Bible.
I presented sufficient evidence that Hitler was Christian. Obviously due to your agenda you refused to accept the obvious. Arguing over it anymore is a waste of time because you will never get me to accept a lie, and I will never get you to accept the truth
First of all, Germany was not an atheist nation; most of its citizens who allowed this to happen were Christian. Trying to blame that on Atheists is absurd
What was out of context?
The survivor's stories ARE history. That is how we get most of history, people telling us what happened. God never promised that He would rescue everybody, but everything happens for a reason. We dont always know why at the time or even 75 years later. But we will probably learn in the next life.
Perhaps for you, but the reason those things happened is obvious to me. Waiting for a next life to understand isn't necessary.
Actually the ancient Hebrews have always believed that the universe had a definite beginning. But there are other things in the bible that the people that wrote them didn't fully understand at the time. But now that we have learned things from God's other book, Nature, we can more correctly understand and interpret His written book, the bible. Such as its teaching that the universe is expanding. The biblical writers didn't understand this and did not believe that the universe is expanding, but now we understand the verses that talk about the stretching of the heavens like a tent, means the ongoing expansion of the universe, confirming what science has discovered.
See above about how Gods other book, Nature, helps us to interpret the Bible.
That’s sick! What’s wrong with you?
The Universe as we know it had a beginning. If we consider the singularity that expanded to become the Big Bang the Universe, they can’t say it had a beginning.
Oh so now nature is God’s other book? Well according to nature, Evolution is a real. Now how come the most vocal opponents against Evolution are those who follow God?
The expansion of the Universe could hardly be compared to stretching a tent. And why would someone write something they don’t understand or know about?
Most Germans were heretical liberal "Christians" who believe in subjective morality, THAT is the primary cause of the rise of Nazism and the Holocaust. I didn't say it was atheism, though most atheists share that belief with them.
I didn't say ALL atheists, I said most. Most of the ones I have debated DO.
No, this article is still subjective. It is based on reducing suffering and pain for humans. How do they know that suffering and pain is bad for humans? Why try to reduce suffering and pain? According to evolution, suffering and pain is good, it advances evolution. Also why spend so much more time on reducing suffering and pain for humans but causing it in other species by eating them? There is nothing special about humans according to evolution, humans are cows are dogs are rats are cockroaches.
Almost all of it. They left out the fact that all humans deserve to die at birth, so if we get to live past that God is showing us great mercy and kindness.
History disagrees with you.
You said:
It doesn’t matter how they know, the point is, that is their moral base. Just as your God is your moral base, that is theirs.
If you really believe that, you are very ignorant about evolution.
If your religion taught you that all babies deserve to die, that killing babies is justice; I feel sorry for you.
Why is it sick? Why is it wrong to eat humans but not cows?
The singularity IS the beginning. Almost all cosmologists agree that the universe had a beginning. And if something has a beginning then it is an effect and needs a Cause.
The Bible has always taught that we can learn more about Him from nature. It is nothing new. Remember "the heavens declare the glory of God" And "consider the lilies of the field" and etc.
No, evolution is just a theory and has never been empirically observed. It is just a historical extrapolation of microevolution which is a fact but macroevolution has never been observed or proven.
Yes, it can. In the biblical description the writer uses the Hebrew word for an ongoing and constant stretching unlike an ordinary tent. This matches what the universe is doing exactly.
Because they were inspired by God to do so, for future readers to understand the Divine origin of the scriptures and come to the realization that the Christian God actually does exist and created this universe.
Remember an earlier conversation when I spoke of having an emotional connection to a fellow human that I don’t have with a dog, thus I consider human life more valuable than a dog’s life? Well that same line of logic applies to humans vs cows as well.
But they don’t claim anything prior to the singularity.
Evolution is more than extrapolation; it is a result of the study of nature.
There is a big difference between stretching and expanding; stretching is to expand despite restrictive forces; the expansion of the Universe is because there are no restrictive forces working against
And how does being inspired by God allows them to write about something they don’t understand or know about?
That's because you have more of an emotional connection to your dog than you have with most people; agree?
