Show your math.You could compare all the light from all the stars and sun in the universe to a gleam in a mouse's eye from a candle in the far part of a big room if you like. Take that and multiply it by a trillion universe all with far greater light and scope, and you may start to get the idea.
Not a conscious choice. As you deleted from your previous response, answer me this: Can you consciously flip back and forth between those two options? Can you believe, and then choose not to, and then switch back, consciously? no?
By "proper understanding", do you mean "starting with the conclusion that the God of the Bible is real"?Only those who actually make a determined study of the various religions, might be able to have a proper understanding of what sort of God is the God of the Bible.
The energy from a distance sun would be objectively measurable. Nothing yet on gods.This one is very cold, but who knows maybe his heart will melt under the warmth of the rays coming from some far off distant sun.

How can one tell when one is lying to oneself?No. I was thoroughly skeptical. Probably the best way to go at it -- you know as bhmste says 'honestly'
Poor metaphors, perhaps.I can see that as with AV, metaphor is lost on you.
Artemis97 I was wondering if you were going to answer my post to you?
Or you. Can you believe, and then choose not to, and then switch back, consciously?
I don't know which post you addressed to me or what it was regarding. I dash on and off of here mainly from my phone when I'm stuck in traffic, and rarely read a thread all the way through or with meticulous attention. This forum has to take a very low priority in my life. I only found this one because I did a search of my user name to see if there are any posts I should tend to, but this is the only post of yours showing up in the first page of results.
While people are engaging in internet debates about evolution, I'm actually finishing a paper relating to evolution that is due on Monday. It takes precedence. This thread has already dismayed the frick out of me so going back through it isn't something appealing but I will when I can. I'm not promising that I'll write a response to your previous post, but if I feel inclined to after I read it, I will.
I am not shocked that you evaded the question.
If there were no fairies, how then would the garden grow?
"They are believed to help to guide the operation of the processes of nature such as the process of evolution and the growth of plants."

Science is supposed to be changing. That's how it works.
God's Word apparently changes too, or Christians would be following 613 commandments in the Torah, and they claim they don't have to.
I don't particularly have a problem with that, but to claim what God tells us never changes is to ignore the contents of the Bible, and that I do have a problem with.
Maybe you did. I stopped reading at the point where you proffered opinion as truth.
Which theme are you referring to?The basic theme and teaching of the Bible will never change.
No, I stopped reading at the point where you proffered your opinion as truth.If you read more things thoroughly you may have your belief changed for you. If you stop reading as soon as you read something that disagrees with your opinion you will not read very many things to their conclusion.
How do *you* measure up there? Are you open to the idea that gods, like that of the Bible, may simply be products of the human imagination, simply characters in books? It would explain why you are unable to provide any evidence otherwise.Imagine if everyone only read documents and charts and literature and reviews on subjects up until they made a comment that was contrary to the readers view.
Talk about a self-righteous world and a stagnant one.
