Probably the best way to describe it to an unbeliever would be calling it an impression, ESP, or a sixth sense.I don’t know your mind, that’s why I asked. Do you have an answer?
In other words, nothing demonstrable. Thank you.Probably the best way to describe it to an unbeliever would be calling it an impression, ESP, or a sixth sense.
Are you satisfied that there's a difference?In other words, nothing demonstrable. Thank you.
Fair enough -- education has a dark side to it, doesn't it?You cannot demonstrate a difference so I don’t believe there is one.
Isn't the universe heading in the direction of thermal equilibrium (maximum entropy)?
Then living beings can, as Sarah put it, 'defy entropy' all they want.Probably, but it won't get there for a very long time, if ever.
There are lots and lots of promises in the Bible. If we do our part then we can be sure that God will do His part. Or as my wife says do your best and God will do the rest.In other words, nothing demonstrable. Thank you.

They're polishing brass on a sinking ship.
Thanks for the QED.Of course you are right; ultimately, all the stars in the universe will exhaust their nuclear fuel (and any other sources of energy), and, so far as we know, in the absence of radiation from stars life will become impossible. However, that will not happen for a very long time, probably hundreds of billions of years, or even trillions of years.
That's for me to know and experience and hopefully one day for you to find out.How do you differentiate spirit from your own imagination?
How about some evidence at the real world level.I don't get why creationists are so bugged by evolution. There is so much evidence at the biochemical level.
Those who blindly uphold evolution and its insufficiencies of explanation insist, no demand,So it is not that the evidence may suggest that, or that it cannot equally and just as honestly be interpreted this way, but that it CANNOT be allowed.
Those who blindly uphold evolution and its insufficiencies of explanation insist, no demand,
that the only evidence acceptable to people of "science" is material empirical evidence.
They harden their hearts to faith and knowledge of God and his creation; therefore they
have no wisdom nor understanding; no tangible and real experience of Jesus [God] and
go around stating that God and the spiritual are not true.
Evolution is simply a scientific theory regarding biodiversity of life on the planet. It's clearly not at odds with the Christian faith, given the number of Christians who accept the validity of evolution as science.
Only creationists seem to set up this bizarre dichotomy where one has to reject science to accept a religious faith. Seems odd though since historically speaking, religion tends to lose those battles.
People say lots of crazy things about evolution but the main thing is what they put in the Biology text books and teach our High School Students. Things like founder effect & bottle neck theory fairly well establish descent with modification to the point where no one really denies 101 evolution or what some call micro evolution. The problem creationists have is with macro evolution. The evidence from the Burgess Shale is that all the various species show up very rapidly and they change very little over time. No doubt there is modification or what creationists call fine tuning. People question that one species can change into another.such as?
We learn to separate good from evil. God is good and everything He does is good. "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. " Genesis 1:31How do you differentiate spirit from your own imagination?
