The "dead" are never raised. No one revived by medical technology has ever gotten to the point that their brain activity ceases, let alone the activity of other tissues.I just got finished watching a movie called “something the lord made” . Speaking of raising the dead . It was about the two men and one woman who were responsible for the current ability to operate on the heart . The movie was about the black man Vivien Thomas (Vivien is actually a man’s name the woman’s version is Vivienne ) with just a high school diploma he ended up teaching surgical techniques on the heart at Johns Hopkins . This is a true story . That’s the modern version of raising the dead - using modern medicine to save lives.
Since there is no way to demonstrate that the old appearance of the planet/universe is fraudulent when you factor in an omnipotent being, it's pointless to bring up.Hmm. It seems to me that observations both supporting and denying creation have been made and continue to be made. I can easily accept the ones supporting creation, because He sent one of His Angels to me one time, and actually spoke to me another time...nevertheless, I don't know it all and for all I know a couple other things may have happened. Maybe there was a gap period in Genesis between the creation of earth, and the creation of man? Perhaps even...13 billion years?! I don't know for sure as I wasn't there. Or maybe even God designed His creation to appear old, to get us to take it on faith? I dunno for sure. What I do know is He IS real.
-_- well, considering that scientists have made an artificial organism with DNA that contains 6 different bases instead of 4, creating a tree is not entirely out of the question. What humans are capable of is not a measure of what natural processes can accomplish, so it wouldn't actually matter if humans were never able to create living organisms. But, we've reached the point where we can, making this point of yours all the weaker.Once again, you Sarah are the exception to the rule here. You are intelligent and prolly easily 20-30 points higher in IQ than most others on this board, lol. Ok, so I've interacted with an Angel so God has been proven to me. That makes it easy to step outside and...look at that tree, whoa. I can see God's fingerprints on that tree myself. I can't make a tree, can you?
Not really. Even your description of an encounter with an angel doesn't actually fit descriptions of them in the bible (they look super weird, like this https://i.pinimg.com/originals/eb/00/4c/eb004c6e6a44046c660683cd151cd16f.jpg ). Even if you only go by NT descriptions, they don't ever pass as regular humans, being notably tall, attractive, and having shining faces. They also only wear white.Nevertheless, you're making a pretty good point here. I don't have a picture of my Sister to post! All I have is my word, and yeah, I'm as dumb as the next guy is, contrary to popular belief that I somehow think I'm superior, which I am not. But I know one thing...truth is self evident when you see it, unless you don't want to see it for some reason.
-_- there are multiple cases of the biblical god going out of its way to prove its existence in the bible, and the text gives very mixed messages about whether or not that deity is willing to show itself.At least up to a point! You know this, that's why you experiment and think them through. And when you happen across something that does work or makes sense (or doesn't) you know it then. What I know about God is that He wants us to take it on faith first and put our trust in Him...and then He comes and reveals Himself to us. That's how it worked for me. He doesn't want to prove it first. I can't say why, I don't know why. His thoughts and ways are above our thoughts and ways.
Again, anyone in said "spiritual war" would have to be aware of the existence of deities ON BOTH SIDES. Since there is no logical motivation for covering up the existence of the biblical god, your proposed events happening in the shadows don't make any sense. Anyone knowingly fighting on the side of satan would have to be so critically stupid that they wouldn't be able to effectively cover up this "spiritual warfare".That's what I like about you, you can make a man think. Ok. No logical reason I can think of. But! Perhaps...there really is a spiritual war going on? And (if so), then, no wonder they do not publish the entire truth as they would be trying to hide God's existence from the people and make them doubt. Some people ARE denying that the holocaust ever happened! Consider this: The absolute best lies, are the ones couched in truth. Put out some truth, mix in some lies...it makes it hard to distinguish what is truth. The truth IS out there, but we have to mine for it. A little here, a little there.
Most atheists don't even involve themselves in discussions relating to religion, so I highly doubt that.This sounds right, lol. I don't know what is in anyones heart here. I can not confirm that, correct. I suppose it would suffice to say, I suspect that many atheists have unspoken ulterior motive.
You don't need to talk me up all the time, it's getting kinda weird.You guys do yourself a favor here...take a real good look at this nice lady. She isn't juvenile and all huh-uh, or taking jabs at people founded in nothing except stupidity. You would do well to follow her example.
What do have against trump? Oh, wait, you had a list, ok. Lol.
it might be if anybody seriously believed that Trump was going to deliver for you on those issues.It seems to me that pro life and prayer are things most people are triggered with that underlie their hatred of Trump.
I would have never guessed that given that I get into just as many arguments with those geological based scientific illiterates as I do with evolution deniersNope. Flood geology is quite passe.
No evidence was generated.
The creation week consisted of a series of miracles over a period of six days that raised the level of mass/energy in the universe from zero to what it is now.
For me? Ha. I guess he showed that no one could?it might be if anybody seriously believed that Trump was going to deliver for you on those issues.
Point taken. I guess they have not yet realized they need better ammo.I would have never guessed that given that I get into just as many arguments with those geological based scientific illiterates as I do with evolution deniers
Someone might. With respect to abortion, anyway--you've got the Roman Catholics on your side. But neither they nor anybody else wants your prayer in the public schools.For me? Ha. I guess he showed that no one could?
I see. No wonder they feel a need to ban guns I guess.Someone might. With respect to abortion, anyway--you've got the Roman Catholics on your side. But neither they nor anybody else wants your prayer in the public schools.
Can a murderer enter heaven, yes or no?
Do you accept a doctor's prescription? Or do you go and study for about 8 years, become a doctor, see papers, conduct tests and then buy and consume said medicine?
Have you seen the top of Mount everest or bottom of Mariana Trench?
The clocks you use, how do you know it is the real time? Do you make a sundial and check?
What a stupid argument.

Sorry, but no. You are just wrong. It is what it is. The science is settled on the matter. Evolution theory is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, success stories in all of science. And I don't just say that, I actually mean it.
But I have to ask: "Why?"
You can be a lying raping murderer and you can still be forgiven. It doesn't matter what you do during your life, you can try to be the nicest guy ever or commit mass murder you just have to ask for forgiveness before you die and you end up in heaven.
And that's the most senseless and idiotic system I have ever heard of.
You go for it baby! Embrace that stuff if you want to!
I remember even when we were kids, before we got all grown up and spiritualized or smart or whatever, we were kids. I guess this is when they were trying to teach us this stuff in school because I remember a time when we would all be walking down the alley or something and there would be a puddle, and the joke was..."there's your mom" and point to the puddle. (came from an amoeba in a puddle and then a gorilla and now you) Lol! We didn't even believe it then. and were kids.
No, I don't. I try to, but I fail regularly. I am not religious, but I seek the true God and a relationship with Him.
Trump? How would I know what Trump has in his heart? I've never met the man or talked to him. I am well aware that many Christians say that he...had a visitation from the Lord and the Lord put him in office...Is it absolutely true? I have no proof of that one way or the other. Am I inclined to believe it?! You bet I am. The fix was in! Hillary was supposed to win, all monies had been paid! Then Trump won...Huh. So it could very well be so what they say. Why do you think she's so [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] that she lost?! God jerked the rug out from under her! That's funny.
But I don't have any proof for you guys. So, who knows?
Woooow. So you'd rather be one of the world's scumbags instead of being an honorable man?
Uhh, ok I guess. Good luck with that.
I suppose there is a possibility of outright fraud, in fact, it's pretty much a guarantee.
There's also the possibility of outright stupidity.
