Evolution and evolutionists would have us all believe that life on earth began from a single cell organism that “evolved” into every living creature on earth today. My question is, did that first living creature that crawled out of the proverbial primordial ooze have lungs, gills? If it was gills, when it came up on land did it gasp for breath and run back into the water, only to repeat that process until lungs developed? How did the transition from water breather to air breather happen?

Why do we have to fight over religions especially when Islam is the topic?
What is the fight about, only a minority will be converted by our views or their views so why do we have to so abusive and violent on the internet when we can answer the questions put sensibly

I mean, you give a dog morphine for the rest of its life and what will it have accomplished? It seems the journey to Heaven is far more rewarding in itself. Euphoria leaves a person thoughtless, numb, and pretty much lifeless. Total bliss seems very empty. When you experience pain, you’re suddenly conscious of what other people go through. Has more human spirit.

To quote Hermann Hesse: “What I always hated and detested and cursed above all things was this contentment, this healthiness and comfort, this carefully preserved optimism of the middle classes, this fat and prosperous brood of mediocrity.”

All People that say a human is god for example Jesus

then your Dum Def and Blind.

if you are saying that god has to become a human to now wants good and bad for us then your saying:

the manufacture of a VCR must become a VCR in order to find out what is good or bad for the VCR

we now if we drop it into water it will not work anymore

we now if we drop it from a height it will break.

Therefore God DOES NOT NEED TO BECOME A HUMAN

Wake-up Jesus IS NOT GOD if he is then why did he let the people hang him on the cross. hummmmmmm

WAKE-UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

"I am a kindergartener and I don’t understand algebra. How can you possibly get random variables from absolutely nothing? I don't have to study it. The answer is that God created these variables and they are always fixed no matter what. There is no other way. I don’t understand algebra therefore it must not exist."

Sounds a little like the creation argument against evolution, doesn't it?

and all that other spiritual stuff? I used to be quite skeptical myself. I do say that a lot is utter rubbish but every now and then something is so right!

This describes my personality 100%. It's the Chinese version though.

This form of Christianity is fostering an archaic world view that includes a literal interpretation of Genesis. Over 50% of the US population believe that the earth is around 6000 years old. Is this damaging the US, economically, ecologically or perhaps in terms of security? any thoughts?

I have been breaking the same sins sexual immorality (lust), adultery (looking at a woman lustfully), and murder (anger). I keep on asking for forgiveness, especially on the lust, and breaking the sins. 1 John 3:6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Does this mean that there is hope and if I truly repent through Jesus Christ, change my life, and start making an effort to live for God that he will save me? Or, Hebrews 10:26-27 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Does this mean that It doesn't matter anymore if I truly repent through Jesus Christ, change my life, and start making an effort to live for God, I'm going to hell anyways? Please don't answer my question if you don't believe in the bible. Also, please give bible evidence

Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every 2 minutes, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

In 1995, 354,670 women were the victims of a rape or sexual assault. (NationalCrime Victimization Survey. Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. Department of Justice, 1996.)

Over the last two years, more than 787,000 women were the victim of a rape or sexual assault. (National Crime Victimization Survey. Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S.Department of Justice, 1996.)

I live in Texas, and I've noticed that about the second question people ask you when they meet you (especially in small towns) is what church you go to. As an atheist, I don't go to church, or to mosque, or to temple, or to any other establishment linked to a particular faith. I often don't know what to say in response. I'm usually flabbergasted that they assume that because I'm friendly, intelligent, and kind, I MUST be a Christian. Or perhaps it's just that they wouldn't approach someone who looks foreign, so they're pretty certain I'm not a Muslim or Hindu. In any case, it's annoying. Why do they do this? And what's the most tactful way to respond?

Maybe a little history lesson is in order.

Prove- to back up with actuall proof not rhetoric.

This is not a chance for you to stand on your soapbox and preach. If you have a prayer only, please share it.

This would be the second time in the past five years that I will go in to talk with the lead minister in my church. A year ago I had talked with an associate minister about some stuff for thirty minutes. Before that, in 2003, I talked to the lead minister of our church. Our church is pretty big. I know people go in all the time to talk with him and he is a very laid back guy. But I still feel bad going to discuss some questions I have. For years I have wondered about going into the ministry but am unsure of how to descern if that is my calling. Everyone seems to point to talking with my minister about my struggles and the lead minister is the person I most respect at our church. But I am afraid I would be annoying him and putting him to too much trouble. Maybe I should just continue praying about it. ?????

There are two issues involved in this question. (1) There are things that the Bible specifically mentions and declares to be sin. Examples of such lists include: Proverbs 6:16-19; Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. There can be no doubt that these Scriptures present the activities as sinful, things God does not approve of. Murder, adultery, lying, stealing, etc. – there is no doubt that the Bible presents such things as sins.

(2) The more difficult issue is in determining what is sinful in areas that the Bible does not directly address. When the Bible does not cover a certain subject, we have some general principles in His Word to guide us. (a) When there is no specific Scriptural reference, it is good to ask, not whether a certain thing is wrong, but rather if it is definitely good. The Bible says, for example, to "redeem the time" (Colossians 4:5). Our few days here on earth are so short and precious, in relation to eternity, that we ought never to waste time on selfish things, but to use it only on that "which is good, to the use of edifying" (Ephesians 4:29).

(b) A good test is to determine whether we can honestly, in good conscience, ask God to bless and use the particular activity for His own good purposes. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). If there is room for doubt as to whether it pleases God, then it is best to give it up. "For whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). (c) We need to remember that our bodies, as well as our souls, have been redeemed and belong to God. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Corinthians 6:19,20). This great truth should have a real bearing on what we do and where we go with our bodies.

(d) We must evaluate our actions not only in relation to God but also in relation to their effect on our family, our friends, and other people in general. Even if a particular thing may not hurt us personally, if it harmfully influences or affects someone else, it is wrong. "It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak... We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves" (Romans 14:21; 15:1). (e) Remember, finally, that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, and nothing else can be allowed to take priority over our conformity to His will. No habit or recreation, or ambition can be allowed to have an undue control over our lives -- only Christ has that authority. "All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any" (1 Corinthians 6:12). "Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Colossians 3:17).
