According to the genealogy of the bible, Noah who made the ship during the flood, was a descendant of Adam and Eve. Now according to Evolution there could not have been an Adam and Eve because we all came from APES. So with out an Adam and Eve.....there can be no Noah. With out a Noah there could be no flood and with out Noah to restart life there can be no Abraham.
With out Abraham there can be no lineage that produced David who was the Husband of Mary and the Step Dad of Jesus Christ.

So now there can be no Jesus Christ....

Oh yea, and there are no Jews either because they are a descendant of Abraham as well.

Gee, kind of makes Christianity hard doesn't it?

Every time voting comes around we always seem to have to settle for the candidates, but I was wondering , how much do YOU personally read up on the people you vote for?
I was reading the Jerusalem post, and they had asked ?'s of our candidates for 2008 prez:

Means protectors of Cows....Everywhere devotees used to sing the glory of HIS name...But nows a days we see people are torturing Cows, murder them....but HE is not coming to save them...I am not able to u nderstand.. If name has power then HE should come and protect them...or HE has gone and power has gone with HIM. OR name does not have any power.

It is all imagination...My Hindu friends please clarify...

As a child I woke up, looked out of the window and saw my neighbours wading in their swimming costumes outside in the street. It had rained continually and flooded Guildford and surrounding area. 1968 I think. I also woke up in the middle of the night to find my father in my bedroom. He was closing the bedroom window because there was a hurricane outside. Farnborough 1986-87.

Why is sex outside the marriage automatically 'dirty', etc, etc - whereas sometimes Married Man&Woman do things to each other that are cruel and much more 'dirty' than an unmarried 'wrong' couple would ever do? Marriages can be and often are Very unhappy.. And yet for churchy people they would still be more 'right' than anything outside the standard option... What do you think? .. I am sad because I face stubbornness from my church friends and I have seen not one ruined life because people dared to follow their hearts and not what the Bible./ church told them to do.. I am stuck in-between the two.. I know the question is controversial - but please share.. Thanks

Ok, ok. Re. a Q askin g about the Big Bang and what caused it...

I know and understand science pretty well. I took several college courses in both astronomy and physics (both cornerstones in understanding the most elemental nature of the universe and "its" creation, and did pretty good in them, too!) I offer a few points to everyone who cites science as an ultimate explanation for the genesis of the universe we exist in and are learning about.
1. We don't know how much there is to "know", to learn about the universe. How will we even "know" when we know all we need to know? I further contend that there will always be questions to be answered and, moreover, that new discoveries spawn more Q's.
2. Our knowledge of the universe will be lost in two areas of basic human understanding; time-space and physics. OUR universe exists in "time" we are still grasping, trying to understand, but the forces that existed and possibly generated our uni did not necessarily obey the same laws of

Christians use the excuse for their dishonesty 'We are not perfect, we were created in sin'. I guess I expected too much from them. At least their religion is documented by history. As for the Mormons...some Japanese are so gullible to believe this when they have their own Shinto and Buddhist religions.

I asked similar questions yesterday and got some good answers but still have questions.

I fell in love with a muslim man. I am a chrsitian woman. He is from Saudi. I am intereseted in the Muslim faith.

I have known him for awhile. He has been engaged the whole time I knew him. I loved him but did not tell him. Well the day before he left I told him. He told me he too loved me and I was in his heart. He says I wish you had of told me earlier because I could have changed things. He asked when he came back if I would still love him. I told him yes I cant change it.

So what will happen when he returns? I do know what he says is not really a good thing to say in his faith. I know he should not tell me what he said. I just do not know what he expects of me? I have had many people say he is a snake. I know his heart. He is a very good person. I am not some silly woman who is being played. I know him.
so bottom line what will happen when he comes back?

I feel this answers so many of our religious questions like "why me".......
"The Plan of the Master Weaver"
Author Unknown
Our lives are but fine weaving
That "God" and we prepare,
Each life becomes a fabric planned
And fashioned in "His" care.
We may not always see just how
The weaving intertwines,
But we must trust the Masters hand
And follow "His" design.
For He can view the pattern
Upon the upper side,
While we must look from underneath
And trust in "Him" to guide.
Sometimes a strand of sorrow
Is added to "His" plan,
And though it's difficult for us,
We still must understand.
That it's "He" who fills the shuttle
It's "He" who knows what's best,
So we must weave in patience
And leave to "Him" the rest.
Not till the loom in silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall "God" unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needed
In the Weaver's skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern "He" has planned.

science? In other words does not god explain the big bang to the ignorant and not the other way around? Thor explained thunder to the ignorant, Zeus explained lightening etc. Does not man invent a god to explain the naturan forces that he does not understand?

Granted that there are many atheists that are more than willing to answer your questions and provide answers that are very accurate, have any of the questioners actually read the answers and learned something about these theories, or are you just asking to make a big fuss?

The atheist Bertrand Russell wrote in his book "Why I am Not a Christian" that if it is true that all things need a cause then God must also need a cause. He concluded from this that if God needed a cause then God was not God (and if God is not God then of course there is no God). This was basically a slightly more sophisticated form of the childlike question, "Who made God?" Even a child knows that things do not come from nothing, so if God is a "something" then He must have a cause as well, right?

The question is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that God came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, "What does blue smell like?" Blue is not in the category of things that have odor, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, God is not in the category of things that are created, or come into existence, or are caused. God is uncaused and uncreated - He simply exists.

Does a priest have to be a virgin, or just celibate from the moment he takes his vows?

2007-07-20 01:38:28 · 13 answers · asked by nom de paix 4 in Religion & Spirituality

So many people are like: Gay people are wrong.

How the hell are they wrong and why is it your business when its not you?

The common reply is: Its against Christianity.

Then I ask: Where?

Where in the bible does it say gay people are bad or wrong? I'm a perfectly straight guy but it sickens people to hear people slander a group of people who are just like you and me except for their relationships, which they plainly can't help.

Any comments on this?

Also I would like to say that another common argument is that the penis and vagina were designed to be put together, two penises were not (same goes for lesbians). Why does everything have to be sex related? Sure, lots of gay people do it on the other side, but then again just as many don't have sex and are just together for love. Either way, it is no-one's business.

Then they would say: In the bible.
