nobody has ever pinned down any real evidence for Jesus he appears to be a character in a book only, there is a mountain of evidence on the other hand for evolution but Christians make much of the missing link that proves man and apes are descended from a common ancestor...whose missing person will turn up eventually and whose won't do you think?

I enjoy this section and debating religious views, but when you make a statement please reference in the bible or a website that supports your claim. So many times, people will submit unsubstantiated claims of understanding "gods laws", but in doing my own research they usually turn out to be nothing that is stated in fact or their dogma's written material. Bottom line is that the Bible is chocked full of attrocities and contradictions.

You see what I just did. I made a claim and substanitated it!

If you want to debate the opposition REFERENCE SOMETHING. But wait, that would require knowing something about the book that you claim to base your exsitance on. That may be too much to ask. If spewing unsubstantiated claims was the way to get questions answered, I could convince you that I have a unicorn in my garage.

Are the word "god" and the phrase "the laws of physics" simply two different ways to say the same thing?
At the most fundamental level, con can be described as an undetectable being or force that controls and moves everything in the universe, down to the last atom. He / she / it is beyond human comprehension.
The laws of physics explain different abstract forces and "rules" that govern the motion of everything in the universe, down to the last atom. We still cannot fill in all the blanks in our current understanding of physics.
The only difference between the two, at this most fundamental level, is that god is possessed of a mind, while the the laws of physics simply state that these forces exist.

Is it so difficult for people to accept that both explanations might be correct? Is it so hard to reconcile a belief in god with a belief in science?

Some facts found: The capital of Israel, in the east-central part of the country in the West Bank. Of immense religious and historical importance, the city was occupied as far back as the fourth millennium B.C. and became the capital of King David c. 1000 B.C. Destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar II in the sixth century B.C., it was later ruled by Greeks, Romans, Persians, Arabs, Crusaders, and Turks and by Great Britain under a League of Nations mandate. Israeli forces took control of the city in 1967. Jerusalem is considered a holy city to Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

Some one enlighten me regarding the Holy Land in Jerusalem..who's taking control now? who should be the rightful one?

The building itself is not necessarily the Church but a place of meeting for the church community. My question is a little deeper. We have a small church community (it appears our branches have been pruned alot). What once was a congregation of 100s is now a group of about 50. The message is good and founded in the Word and taken in context.

Are there that many people who dislike the truth so much that they are more willing to walk away than stay and face the truth? I know I sin but I need the Word and all the interpretation I can get. I am not all knowing and understanding.

I want our church to be not only a place to worship but also have the ability to reach out. Our pastors have not been paid for several months because of low attendance and tithes. We all give money, food, etc. to our pastors because we believe in the Word they share.

I want to help them help others but we are pretty close to having to shut our doors and meet in private homes or garages. HELP

Who are they? Are you one of them? Do your contributions make other peoples lives better? Why could this be spiritual?

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

I know you all are going to say this belongs in the science section, but to me it takes more faith than anything to believe we evolved from apes. Here's my question though: Why do people even believe evolution? I mean it says that some animals lost parts of their hearts and evolved into other things. You mean to tell me that that animal SURVIVED while it lost part of it's heart? That's crazy. Why do people believe that?
