Why do all living things die? What is the purpose in that? Assuming you believe in God of some sort, what part does death play in God's grand scheme of things? If you believe in some sort of an afterlife, why don't people just start out there and never die?

According to theists, god has a purpose for every persons life, even if we don't always know what it is. So what then, is the purpose of the following...

A man and woman decide to retreat from civilization and live in the remote jungle. They have a baby, which no other human knows about. One day, the adults are killed by wild animals, but by incredible chance, the baby is adopted by chimpanzees, and survives to adulthood. The baby, now a man, lives to a ripe old age, and dies of natural causes. He never once encounters civilization or any other human being. For all intensive purposes, no one ever knew he existed.

Of course, the man had no understanding of religion or god. For all intensive purposes, he was no different from the other chimps in the jungle.

This scenario may sound implausible, but feral children have been discovered, so something like this could have happened.

What was god's reason for this life? Why did god create this soul which could never be saved?

Have you seen i,robot(will smith),did you see what the robot said about his designer,he said he is his father,the robot think of that because he is close minded,and will smith replied:"you mean your designer",so of course we humans think this is absurd because if you design a robot it doesn't mean you are his father you are a father when you give birth of someone.So what do you think isn't it the same thing for god.......

It gets tiring after awhile, and I do not know what to say besides answering them. My mother is Black, but my father is half white+Hispanic (I am just saying full Hispanic since his grandmother was Hispanic and Chinese, but he grandpa was Hispanic and Black. 1+1=2!). Anywho, I do not think that it is anyones business and race shouldn't matter anyway.

Are you sure you don't believe Jesus was God in the flesh?
Isn't that at the heart of your worship for him?

If Jesus IS God, why would he send himself down as a final blood sacrifice to appease himself?

According to what ive been told,ive understood the following.Please clarify/correct the following
1-how does him dying/getting tortured/sacrificing himself/whatever... cleanse us(humans)of our sins??
2-What was the point of him dying if he was gonna resurrect??
3-Why is he referred to as the only son of God?Arent we all children of God(According to the bible)which would make us sons and daughters of God, therefore NOT making Jesus the ONLY son of God.....
Please make some sense out of this...

This is question #1:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070130210803AA1aITC&r=w

One answer suggests the mere mention of "iron" in Genesis shows that Iron existed about 4500 BC or so. The metal refered to here was bronze. We know this because in that area of the world bronze was used about 4000-1200 BC (a combination of copper from nearby deposits and tin from Afghanistan).

The problem with this is that documents can be read incorrectly and require corroboration. The way you do this is by surveying the metals in use in the area and that time period. Metal is durable, and all metal weapons not melted down would have survived.

Steel was never recovered from Judea at this early date, and in fact wasn't in production anywhere in the world.

My question is this:

Do you need to fashion the truth to fit your religious beliefs, or do you need your religious beliefs to be true?

(And do you try to pass your religion to others without certainty?)

What do you call the people who were born in the USA? I mean, you call yourselves "americans", but canadians, chileans and argentinians are also american people as well as mexicans because they all were born in America which happens to be a whole continent.
Now, people from Colombia are colombians, people from Brazil, brazilians, Peru has peruvian people, but what about the USA's people? Are you United Statians?, wait, Mexico's official name is Mexican United States, so what the hell are you? Plain Gringoes?, I guess that's the name that suits you better, so, why don't you change USA for Gringoland?

Want to know why men hear what they want to hear at times, I know that men are different than women, but why such a barrier when listening when just a small piece of information is given?
