Religion & Spirituality - 31 July 2006

Yes I know this has been covered a billion times.
I want to approach it a different way though.

The link below gives the case and the evidence for Evolution.
It is not a typical god bashing site, as it is WIKIPEDIA and it is reputable Encyclopedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

It is very understandable and references everything. A rather scholarly piece.

I know that god fearing people ofter get mixed up with what Evolution is.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE PASSAGES FROM THE BIG BOOK.

I ONLY WANT TO KNOW IF YOU ACCEPT WHAT WIKIPEDIA SAYS.

You are not a good god fearing person if you do not wish to learn.

If heaven is so great, why didn't we just have it to begin with?

To religious people, it sounds like I'm criticising their gods.

That's not it.

I want to know how you can believe things that make no sense to me?

Can I persuade just one person to use reason, not faith?

I asked this to muslim mens and they said they can marry a poor girl to support...So does it makes sense to see a 45 year ol man marry a 15 yr ol girl cause she lost her parents and the ol man is already married twice before..Cant he just adopt her as his daughter or help her by giving her school fees and treating her as his daughter rather than wife.and he's already have a daughter 15 years ol.

Who wrote the bible?
How do u know?
When was it written?
Where was it written?
What was the purpose of writing or complying different books to get the bible?
Ok with what u answered, why do people believe so strongly in a bible that was written when it was, by who it was, where it was, and why it was, and what was in it?
Do u think in your own opinion, not your parents, or what the church tells you, but what you think, if a new one was compiled, what should it contain?

The wife of Imran (who is not named) gives birth to a girl, who is special in God's sight. She is named Maryam (Mary) and is assigned to the care of Zakariya (Zechariah). Maryam spends her time in her private chamber, where she is sustained by God. Zakariya questions her about this, and Maryam tells him about God's sustenance.

Later on, Maryam withdraws from the family to a 'place in the east'. While there she sees an angel, who appears as a man. This scares her, and she warns him not to come near her if he fears God. The angel tells her that he is actually a messenger from God, and that God has chosen her for the task of carrying a special son, who will be righteous, holy and will speak in infancy. The angel also reminds her to pray to God. Maryam asks how this can happen seeing as she is a virgin. The angel tells her that nothing is beyond God, all he has to say is 'Be' and it is.

I am kind of new to Utah, and this kind of struck me funny how the Mormons baptize dead Jewish people. I have a couple honest questions on this...if you have any good answers, please let me know! I have already read another question related to this, and it seems that the bible sanctions this activity.

1. What benefit do the Mormons get from this? Is it to boost their church enrollment numbers? I don't see why this would be helpful, except to make them look like a more dominant religion than the cult that they are. I say cult because I think it takes a lot longer than a couple hundred years to become "mainstream".

2. Do they do this to other people? Say athiests or agnostics? Why, or why not?

Thank you for your time. To help you help me, know that I am not a believer in organized religion...I personally think it is the biggest scam on Earth, but that is my belief. Please don't be biased against me for that? My questions are out of honest curiosity.

I haven't been able to find Jesus in a way that he has helped me in my life. It is not through lack of trying.. I've been to church, I've read the old & new testament, i watch religious tv & even christian music programmes, I'm probably the only person that welcomes the door to door callers & I really do read what they leave with me. I do this with all religions because the whole thing intrigues me! I'm a good person with morals etc but I have tried & tried to 'find' god in the hope that his words will one day enlighten me or help me live a better life. (im certainly no angel) BUT it doesn't seem to grab me & convince me. Perhaps Jesus is the only way but what if you cant quite follow? Can a person suddenly believe? Surely to follow gods words you have to believe them in your heart? What if you can't believe even if you want to? I acknowlege i need saving but cant seem to be saved. Then HOW?

Right God creates Adam and Eve, the first humans, they have kids... adn then the human race is born. Umm just a point, wouldnt the gene pool be a little small, I mean really the very fact that the kids would have to get it on with each other, or with their parents.. incestville... but the gene pool is not big enough and theyd all die in a couple of generations....is that really how the human race was born?
