I doubt if I ever see the light. If there is a god then at the moment he has an off-age (meaning he doesn't do remarkably well the last couple of thousand years).

The Bible is just a book written by someone. How can that be proof?

In what way is the bible proof of the existence of God that Harry Potter books aren't proof of the existence of magic and wizards?

The evoulotion theroy was written by someone. How is that proof?

It is the proof due to the faith Christains have that the bible was written by man from the words spoken from God.

Thank God I am not a mormon like my wife or we would be here all day.

Faith in God is all I need.

Evoulotion will never be proven.

The theory isn't proof, but the documented evidence is. It's one thing to state something as fact, but another thing entirely to back it up with evidence.

When all the laughter dies in sorrow
And the tears have risen to a flood
When all the wars have found a cause
In human wisdom and in blood
Do you think they'll cry in sadness
Do you think the eye will blink
Do you think they'll curse the madness
Do you even think they'll think

When all the great galactic systems
Sigh to a frozen halt in space
Do you think there will be some remnant
Of beauty of the human race
Do you think there will be a vestige
Or a sniffle or a cosmic tear
Do you think a greater thinking thing
Will give a damn that man was here

That documented evidence was written by man. How is it concrete? It is NOT and never will be.

You said yourself that the bible was written by man. You're talking yourself into a smaller and smaller corner here Kona.

I also said the bible was written by man with GOD'S words! I see no small corner.

I only see people here who refuse to accept there is a God and therefore have to cling to mans version of the facts and fear. Pathetic.

Evolution is right in front of us. We don't need to read about it, we can see it for ourselves. Today you are using a pc, 30 years ago they were sci-fi. A simple example of man's evolution in the same way Stone Age man developed bronze, Bronze Age man developed iron and so on.

Denying evolution is the old stick the fingers in the ears and shout 'nah nah nah, I'm not listening' syndrome. Go ahead, bury your head in the sand. But as long as you do that there's a real world out there you will never understand.

So let me put this to you. How do you know that Darwin wasn't simply writing God's words when he wrote the theory of Evolution? Maybe God wanted us to know the true origins of our species because he was tired of getting all the credit. Except his plan backfired and the Christians all denounced Darwin's theory as madness.

Grayhaze:
The only words GOD wrote are in the bible. In the end of the bible it says None shall and on to this book. that means NO ONE shall add on to the bible. So I know that Darwin was not writting the words of GOD.

Darwin's works are madness.

Fuzzy:
That is not evolution. It is called progress. Evoulution is defined as a single cell animal devloping into a complex organism.
We were created and thats all there is to it.

BTW where is this proff you speak of?

Whats next? you all gonna say abortion is not murder?

grayhaze: How do I know for sure that my neighbour is not being attacked? Should I dial 911 (erm 112 here actually ) just in case?

Kona's belief in God is not questionable....what can be questioned is the eficacy of 'fact'.

Let's face it....all a 'fact' is is an assumption that is yet again to be disproved following further analysis.

Kona...you are free on this planet to believe any interpretation of 'fact'....just don't expect everyone to concur.

Those who believe an alternate 'fact' are equally allowed their alternate view.

A debate is never about FACTS...it is about perception/interpretation of experience/s.
