>who has the power to make this.

Physics.



It's going to be very disturbing indeed when you eventually have to stand and be judged in front of your creator and all you have to hold up in your defense in your physics book. :P



Who said God couldn't make physics?

belief in god != belief in Intelligent design.

We also KNOW physics exists. We KNOW it produces things. We KNOW it makes things work.

There is nothing to say that God did not make physics work the way it does. hell, even Steven hawking said he believes in God. However, sadly, many Christians literally believe the Bible and they throw out most of the science we have built based upon our knowledge of physics.

ARGHHHH!!! I am getting sucked back in too!!! I AM GUILTY!!! :)

Are you suggesting that God doesn't have a sense of humor?

If man was made in God's image and man has a sense of humor, then it is quite possible that God also has a sense of humor.

In that case it may be you that is out voted by God.



God has to have a sense of humor. How else can the mighty platypus be explained?

Oh, and Keely, some of us say that in response to many things when we are shocked, in pain, joyful, etc! It's just an multi-purpose phrase!



You use "Oh god, I'm cumming, oh god, oh god..." as a multi-purpose phrase???

:P



This is why I lurke this forum... there are some gems in here!:D

I've had two that did at the moment of shang-gri-la, and one that said it the whole time.:)
You seem to be qualified to know, were they faking?;)

Plus, when it comes to religion, most people don't rely on evidence to back it up. They use their faith.



My point exactly! Any religion worth its weight must have credible evidence to back it up. That’s one big difference between Christianity and other religions. That’s not to say there isn’t an element of faith. There is. But it’s not “blind faith.”

Quote

The standard meaning not breaking any of them, no. Heck, when I was four years old, I stole a pastry from a deli since my mom wouldn't buy it for me. I guess I was doomed since then.



At least you’re more honest than many. However, it only takes one once. You are absolutely correct in that you’ve been “doomed since then.” (Correction: Since the age of accountability) By your own admission, you’re a thief (“Thou shalt not steal.”). I’m sure you & I are both guilty of breaking just about all of them. If judged by God’s standard, you & I are guilty and, without salvation by grace through faith, will spend eternity in hell.

Quote

Do I think I'm a good person? Yes, but I'm guessing most people think that. There's always room for improvement (ie, I don't volunteer like I used to, I want to drive less than I currently do so that I don't harm the planet as much, etc etc etc.)



Most people do think that and are very willing to tell you. It’s not realistic, though. Not when you admit to yourself that you fall short. It’s dishonest and a lie (Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor e.g. “lie”). Whoops…. That’s two. ;)

This is where you loose me - I think it is blind faith becuase it is based on a work of fiction.

I believe the literal Bible and I don’t do what you stated above. The Bible isn’t a science book. It is not meant to explain quantum physics.

In your mind....once again. Others weigh religion differently. If you came to Christianity based on the "credible evidence" of the Bible, good for you! It contains, of course, contradictions. When people read a text for fact, contradiction within that text generally get it thrown out.

I was already at two since I said, "Okay," to my mom when she said that I couldn't have the pastry! :D

You feel that the Bible is the most credible religious document. You have a good case for that. For religion, you feel it's important that the document is the most credible. Other people see that the Bible, along with many other works, are not completely accurate, and they choose their religion based on other things.

You cannot believe in a literal Bible and also believe in everything physics tells us.

I'd study for myself, if I were you, each of these supposed contradictions to see if they really are.



Yes, some of them REALLY are! Most Christians that I know accept that contradictions are a part of the Bible. They use the Bible and Christianity as their moral guideline since it's what works for them. They did not choose it because it is the most correct.

Why is that?



Light travelling from distance stars is a good one. The fact that we can look through a telescope and see millions of years in the past.

All of which, can be argued by creation "scientists" (I have read the data) I know. But the reality is that probably 95% of scientist believe in the math and truth of them, while the 5% -- and the loudest -- do not.

Damn that $3.30 a gallon crap!



I read that as

"Damn that $3.30 a gallon crap!
Oh god! Oh god! I'm cumming! Oh God! "

It's better than adding "in bed" or "then you die" to fortune cookie fortunes

There are very clear contradictions, which the literalists often explain away by saying the words don't mean what we think they mean; that a "day" doesn't mean a day, for example. Intellectual dishonesty at its highest.
