I found this question in another area and thought it was great so I'm posting it! The more I live learn study and grow spritually I kinda go with evolutionary creationism! There are things (in the bible even...shshshsh) everywhere that show this to be truth more than any other theory. If God didn't make the world just the way we know it in 6 days does that make him any less amazing? I don't think so! I DO think God created the earth in 6 days but I'm not sure that there is a timeline between creation and the "fall of man". Time to us is (in my oppinion) a measurement of our lifes. If we didn't have a certain time to live then what would we be counting? So the time between the sixth day and the "fall" could have been a long time right? EVEN possibly a REALY REALY long time.
Scientist are now saying that the world went from almost nothing to the size it is in milaseconds! That sure does sound like Genesis 1 to me!
sorry I have to run, they are going to start throwing stones any time now

you'd like to ask about Pagan, Witches, please do.
Understand that Paganis an umbrella term and you will only get my perspective. Perhaps other Pagan, et al will post a similar question to help you understand who we really are.

In the Book of Genesis, it's written that Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden. It does not say it was an apple. Was it an apple or some other kind of fruit? Judaism teaches that the fruit may have been grapes, figs, wheat, or citrons. Some researchers have said it was a pomegranate. Could the "forbidden fruit" have meant something other than an actual fruit or one that is no longer around today?

great results. I opened my Paganism up to questions from curious religious folks and as today I am in an email freenzy with three very interested people. They have no place else to ask those questions they feel might be 'stupid', no Pagan friends, etc.. We always go into their questions but if we gave others the opportunity to openly ask, since we don't really know who they are, they seem more willing. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to communicate with our friends in this way that those open minded have a chance to understand the truth of who we are.
What do you say? So many persepctives from us all would be wonderful.
Blessed Be

Just curious, a million dollars? Proof of eternal salvation? For me its being abousletly peaceful and accepting all other religons as just another way to god, and accepting everyone and not converting other people

I was saved about 13 years ago and was delivered from alcoholism by Jesus Christ. I was in a bad marriage and my wife did not support me in my changes and new Christian ways of living. The stress of this made me pick up the alcohol again. How do I stop? And please dont tell me to just put it down. Anyone who is a drinker knows this is not as easy as it sounds. I would like to hear from someone who has had a similar experience, and how did you overcome it? I would like to be back to where I started with my relationship with Christ.

Christopher Hitchens? Sam Harris? Richard Dawkins?

I've read all their books and listened to many of their lectures. I love all three and each contributes their own style to the cause. I would have to say that Sam Harris is my favorite personally. This is due to his razor sharp no holds barred logic.

...how is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'?

For in Pslam 110:1, he says:

"The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit at my right hand
Until I put your enemies
under your feet."

If then David calls him 'Lord', how can he be his son?

As hurricane Dean approaches the Gulf Coast, I am reminded that both Pat Robertson and Fred Phelps claimed that hurricane Katrina was an act of "Divine Retribution."

Has anybody ever explained exactly or approcimately why God was mad at Biloxi, Missisippi?

You can buy a six pack for less than that. If an establishment is charging me $7 for a bottle of corona, I expect the tip to be included in that.

I don't know how many people have asked questions and answered questions with a "your so stupid why do you think the way you do?" attitude. Do we really think that will change the way people think?

You can try and knock us Christians down but through God's grace we'll get up and keep fighting.You can even kill us but that will only raise up more believers to spread the word of God?Think of it,if christianity is false then why do millions believe?Why are people willing to sacrifice themselves for Christ's Namesake?I can tell you this,even if christianity were made illegal in the u.s. I would still call myself a Christian and so will millions of others so atheists,satanists,pagans,agnostics,etc.I warn you now STAND DOWN,SURRENDER,YOU'VE LOST.
