When I became an atheist, I didn't just suddenly decide, "Hey, I think I'm going to be an atheist now." It was much more complicated than that. After spending a lot of time learning about science, atheism, philosophy, history, skepticism, and so on, I was sitting on my bed one day pondering life when I sudden realized, "I just don't believe Christianity anymore." It wasn't a choice. It just happened. It was the result of learning and finding things out for myself rather than just believing everything my parents, the church, and the Bible told me to believe. My mind had freed. I felt like a giant weight had been lifted off of my shoulder. Not much has changed in my life. But the one thing that has changed, and that's the way I look at life and the universe, and that has made me very happy.

Anyway, that's my story. So, consider my question very carefully and answer: Is belief or disbelief a choice?

If you had to choice 5 people to help set up a new planet indentical to earth who would you take, these people will have to set rules and teach the new population. Breeding is not a problem here as you would take some type of cloning system and robots to build you stuff. This is completly a hypotheical and does not take into account that traveling to a new earth like planet would take a long long time or the fact that robots and clones are not yet this sophisticated.

i ask this because in other answers about the birth of jesus, he was all from god and not mary's dna. he was pure. if this is the case, then he would not of had a bellybutton, because he couldn't have been attached to her placenta as that would have let her sinful dna into the growing god fetus, correct?

but evey picture and statue i have seen he does. wouldn't that have been some proof that he could have used to say that he was the son of god - his lack of belly button? is this proof that he is NOT god?

if homosexuals think that what they are doing is right...why do you all ashamed of what you doing? why do you hide what you do for so long if it;s "right"? I would not hide anything I was proud of or thought was right from my friends and family! I feel when you "confused" and "ashamed" of something or have to question yourself...you know something's not right!

The bible talks about three heavens; one being outer space.
If you look at

Psalm 104:2
2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

wouldn't this be talking about the expanding of the universe (aka the heavens) that Edwin Hubble discovered 3000 years after mentioned in the bible?

or Job 9:8
"8Which alone spreadeth out the heavens...".

Also scientist say the bing bang started from a "A singularity" which means no volume isn't this the same concept in Hebrews 11:3 where it basically says that the starting point of the universe was invisible (no volume).

Also in Genesis 1:1 the Hebrew word for "created" (bara) means a "creation from nothing"

Doesn't it almost sound like sciences "big bang theory" and the bible are almost on the same wave length... Universe created from nothing aka a singularity and the universe is expanding??
Only difference is the bible claimed this long before science.

Any thoughts on this?
just wondering

I'm hearing about it more often than not, churches staging miracles along with televangelists. It's a growing trend and these people who fall for them do not believe holy men can lie. For example, there was a church near Houston where a women spoke in tongues and a Chinese-American was there to say he understood every word she said. I'm thinking how easy is that? Either teach the woman a few words of Chinese or have the Chinese-American lie. Who would know?

They say they accept that Bible writers were all inspired by God, and also believe a lot of saints' divine revelations. Nowadays, how do they decide which peoples' dreams, ideas, and revelations they will believe?
