Religion & Spirituality - 19 July 2006

I like science very much... I've been reading Darwin's orgin of species and a book by a man named Gould called "Ever since Darwin" that expounds on the theories and findings on natural selection....

a quote caught my eye in the latter which I dug into the former and found, written by Darwin himself:

"To suppose that the eye [...] could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

There are acceptable and logical theories nowadays dealing with this very same eye issue that creationists have been quoting for a hundred years but I still just find it impossible to beleive that a one celled organism, regardless of how many billions of years it took, turned into a man who had a beating heart and a penis (to fit in a vagina) and an endocrine system and emotions and feelings and morals, etc...

In the bible it says that anyone who blaphemes against God will be forgiven, but if anyone blasphames against the Holy spirit you will NEVER be forgiven. (I think this scripture is in John) But also in the bible it says that when you are saved all sin is forgiven past, present and future. So what if you blaspheme against the holy spirit after you are saved, will you still go to hell?

It is said that the Kaaba was lilly white from origin, but became black because of all the sins it absorbed over the years since its existance.
If so then does that mean its actually worshiped?

Why should I have to restrain myself for a "god". He/she/it gave me life knowing what would happen. I restrain myself because I love my fellow man and myself, not because "god" deems it so. Also, why would "god" tell a man to announce the commendments, for all you know the guy could've been tripping on opium (or whatever was good back then). I don't want to hear how I don't except "god", give me some real reasons with real facts.

I put quotes around Christians because a lot of people claim to be one and don't walk the walk. hypocrytes, they sicken me. Is it because they hold themselves to a higher standard or what?

If He knew certain people would never believe then why create them in the first place? It seems that He is just creating people to populate hell. Also, He created the angels and yet he knew that one of his angels would fall and become Satan, why then did He bother creating Lucifer? I guess the question boils down to is how do we have free will if God already knows what we will choose?

Whether you are Muslim, Jew, Hindu, or Atheist, etc. There are only two options for your Eternal Destination, Heaven or Hell. There is only one way to Heaven. The only way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. You've broken God's moral laws and if you stand guilty before God on judgment day, you will end up in Hell. Jesus died on a cross and rose again to pay the debt for your sins. What you must do is Repent, which means to ask God for forgiveness of all your sins, turn away from your sins, and put your complete Trust in Jesus Christ. Only then will you be accepted into Heaven, not because your a good person, but because your a bad person who's been forgiven.

According to the Bible, only 60,000 people will enter Heaven all Billions of People will go to Hell Fire... Then why waste your time so you know... You will never be among those 60,000 people... since it has already filled up thousand years ago...?

Before everyone gets their underwear in a bunch research and know this was all to prove a point by the student. I'm wondering though, in my sense of humor, if there are any people that truly call themselves "members." As in, their names are on a roster somewhere and what the benefits have been, if any, other than a laugh.

Would I be able to quit my job and do this full time? These people have absolutely no ability to think for themself, and so rather than try and think and come up with an answer they try and refer you to a book where they obviously can't find the answer but they hope you will.

The Bible says that women are not to wear that which "pertaineth to a man", or looks like men's clothing.The accepted dress on bathroom doors even for women is a dress. How far should this scripture be taken?
