What Child Is This



What Child is this, who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angles sing
Haste, haste to bring him, Lord
The Babe the Son of Mary

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
The King of Kings, salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him, Lord
The babe, the Son of Mary


This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him, Lord
The babe, the Son of Mary

Those of you raised in Christian or otherwise religious families who are now athiests, agnostics, or follow a different spirituality -
what made you convert, change your mind, or lose your faith?

Ask or answer questions in a category that they have no belief or interest in for the sole purpose of making malicious and insulting remarks?

Do they feel so insignificant and insecure that they actually derive some kind of pleasure in hurting and making fun of others?
Does it really make them feel superior?

May the warmth of Christ's love fill your hearts this Christmas season, and let us all be mindfull of the true Reason for the season.

"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Beth-leham, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child."

Luke 2:13-17 KJV

Merry CHRISTmas y'all!!!!

What say ye to this?

I say "singularity" in that the Big Bang concept is a super mass/energy from nowhere, erupted into the "known universe" followed by spontaneous life on Earth from "abiogenesis", which "evolved" from one simple organism to all that is alive today and all that has died off between now and then.

(NOT being sarcastic)

Believers in this speak with clarity as though NO speculation is involved in these concepts.

Thus my question, which of the two contain the most speculation;

- "religion" OR

- "nothing /singularity from nothing /controlled expansion /formation of galaxies /abiogenesis /evolution"?

(A little sarcasm there for fun)

As the maker of life , the universe etc. etc. don't you think God was capable of handling humans on his own.
Don't you think he would be more than capable of saying "Ok the old times are past these are new times you can come to heaven if i deem you worthy."


It seems like the long way around to have to have a son and all that just to do what he was capable of doing anyways.
Jesus as a "savior and a deity" makes no sense to me whatsoever.

An omnipresent and all powerful maker of all things int he universe and life to need to make a baby to save humans is absolutely mind numbingly nonsensical.

I admire that you want creationism to be taught as Science.

You like to ask Science questions on here, I'll give you what you want.

You need logical arguments to debate/discuss. To start with very simple question, can you please refute endogenous retrogene insertions, Scientifically?

Endogenous retrogene insertions are molecular remnants of a past parasitic viral infection. Occasionally, copies of a retrovirus genome are found in its host's genome, and these retroviral gene copies are called endogenous retroviral sequences. Retroviruses, like HIV, make a DNA copy of their own viral genome and insert it into their host's genome. If this happens to a germ line cell (i.e. the sperm or egg cells) the retroviral DNA will be inherited by descendants of the host.

This process is rare and fairly random, so finding retrogenes in identical chromosomal positions of two different species indicates common ancestry.

Be kind and please remember, I said Scientifically.
