Religion = man doing works attempting to reach God by man made rules.
Christianity = God does the work. Then man must learn the rules of that relationship that had already had been established by God's work.
Not this silliness again. I know some Christians feel the need to redefine the word "religion" just so that they can exclude Christianity and thus make it "special", but by common definition and use of the word Christianity is a religion.
Deal.
What would you think of Jesus if you discovered He invented DNA and its functions?
Unregenerate scientists and God do not communicate.
Religion? Religion is man attempting to form a relationship with God on terms that men invent. Christianity is God bridging the gap between men and Himself.

Did you notice this part of how the word is used?
Religion in relation to God is not real, though it may allude to real things in what it professes. Religion is like seductress promising to truly love you. It never happens. But, in the interim, a lot of lusting may take place.
why not? if we find a specific trait that its true for both we can compare between them.-_- all the more reason those things are not comparable in the way you want them to be.
the physical change is just another variation of finch.It's just evolution, fine. If you want to call it variation fine. Whatever you call it, we apparently agree that a flock of finches flew to the Galapagos and there evolved--ahem, variated-- into 6 different genera and 15 different species . Can we not get hung up on the name, and talk about the physical changes that occurred?
the point is that we can compare between them in some points.Agreed. I don't know any animals that come with power steering.
What's your point?
why not? if according to evolution a self replicating molecule can add a complexity over time why not a car?Nope.
sure it can, it happens all the time - unless you're going to assert that all children are perfect clones of their parents? or that all races of humans are middle-eastern and look exactly like Adam and Eve clones?
I did not ask what you believe now. It was a hypothetical question.Im an atheist. I dont believe in god(s).
Metaphysics is not something science cares about or adress.
Uh huh, and you and I are just another variation of mammal.the physical change is just another variation of finch.
See Could cars reproduce?why not? if according to evolution a self replicating molecule can add a complexity over time why not a car?

That applies to all material things, yes?the point is that we can compare between them in some points.
how can a person specified by DNA invent DNA?I did not ask what you believe now. It was a hypothetical question.
I asked.... What would you think of Jesus if you discovered He invented DNA and its functions?
What would you think of Frank Sinatra if you discovered he invented chicken tikka vindaloo and its digestive repercussions?
I've already discussed some in this thread. Miracles are seen quite often, presently, by Orthodox Christian believers, so the non-Biblical source of miracles is faithful membership in the Church.
People demand to see proof because they are convinced that their is none to be seen. That is exactly how they want it (i.e. not to see). Are you one of these? If so, no proof will be given, and not because it doesn't exist, but only because you aren't predisposed to accept it. Where there is no predisposition, the ability to see is nonexistent. If I quote the Bible here at all, it's only to expose some to the things that can potentially lead certain people closer to being predisposed to belief and repentance.
