To clarify, if it takes a million years for light to travel from a star a million light years away from earth, and I see the light from it today, how can the universe be say only 10,000 years old?

I'd be a total addict to enterntainment. I wonder if there is such thing a s a ghost possesed tv or computer...

CHRISTIANS ONLY: For black history month at my church, I've been asked to give a speech on what Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's 'I Have A Dream' speech means to me as a Christian. I'm drawing a complete blank and looking for some inspiration. So, please share what it means to you... and maybe it will get me thinking.
fyi: I'm white, the church i go to is all black

Everyone was allowed to Pray their own religions prayers during a certain designated time? For instance give a half an hour each morning to let the kids pray to which ever god they worship and for the ones who didn't want to they didn't have to? Atheists instead of saying absolutely not, do you think that it might be a fair compromise and also do you think it might teach religious toleration?

That we are breaking one of their "rules" or "commandments" about as useful as telling them they broke a law that exists in a different country? seeing as they dont believe in the bible, why would telling them they are breaking "laws" in it bother them?

I received a violation notice for my answer to the following question:

"The return of Christ?

Some signs are pointing to the fact that Christ's return is very near. What are your thoughts/beliefs surrounding this?"

The question is asking for one's thought and beliefs surrounding this. In my understanding of the Bible, numerous prophecies have already been fufilled. Daniel promised that Christ would return in exactly the year 1844 (http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/ab/SAQ/saq-10.html , http://bci.org/prophecy-fulfilled/). Therefore, I answered with the following:

"Actually, numerous signs and prophecies pointed that Christ would return in 1844, which He did. Baha'u'llah is the Return of Christ in the Glory of the Father and Promised One of all religions.

This was declared to be a violation because it was "Spam & Advertisement". Why?

1 Corinthians 1:3 He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort othrs. When others are roubled we will be able to give the the same comfort God has given us You can be sure that the more we suffer for christ the the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.

Monotheism struggles with "the problem of evil," in which the single creator God also has instituted a creation full of suffering. In order to deal with this, many religions have instituted a Satan character that battles God. However, Satan was also a creation of the single God, & his ultimate defeat is inevitable, although God seems to be taking his time about it.

Polytheism asserts that multiple Gods are involved in both creation & interventions in life. Therefore, the problem of evil is managed via a diverse and conflictual spirit world.

Given the problem of evil, can you please explain why most Westerners choose Monotheism over Polytheism?

WND Exclusive EVOLUTION WATCH
Research: God did speak world into existence
Student's scientific documentation offers evidence of biblical account
Posted: February 11, 2007

A science student in Kentucky says when the Bible records God spoke, and things were created, that's just what happened, and he can support that with scientific experiments.

"If God spoke everything into existence as the Genesis record proposes, then we should be able to scientifically prove that the construction of everything in the universe begins with a) the Holy Spirit (magnetic field); Light (an electric field); and c) that Light can be created by a sonic influence or sound," Samuel J. Hunt writes on his website.


"There are several documented and currently taught laboratory experiments that accurately portray the events in Genesis in sequential order, the most important being that of sonoluminescence," he wrote.

That, he described to WND, is the circumstance in which sending a sonic signal into bubbles in a fluid causes the bubbles to collapse and they release photons, or create light.

That aligns with one of the earlier descriptions of the creation by God, when, in Genesis 1:1-3, the Holy Spirit moved upon the face of the deep, which generally is considered water, and said "Let there be light," he explained.


God was sending a sonic influence into the waters, and basically creating light, Hunt said. He's documented his theory, and the experiments he believes back it up, in his "Episteme Scientia, the Law of All That Is."

Researchers at institutions no less than UCLA and the University of Chicago have verified the production of light from bubbles when sound is passed through a liquid, called sonoluminescence.

Hunt said he was spurred on in his work because the advanced physics and other courses he was taking were advancing propositions that sometimes didn't match up.

"The further I went, the more my questions seemed to be being answered in the Genesis record," he told WND.

His abstract states, "An examination of the sequential mathematical and experimental dual proof of the Genesis record of origins underlying the institution of all that is in the universe – from waves to matter to the mind."

Hunt said science has been proving the Genesis account in classrooms for centuries, "in spite of the fervency to promote evolution and big bang theories."

A student at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Hunt said his questions started very simply.

"I asked my professors in physics and chemistry, 'What if I could scientifically prove that all matter was spoken into existence and that all matter could be manipulated by sound just as Genesis says? Wouldn't that mean God exists and created the universe?" he asked.

"Nobody's every done that before," was the response.

His 84-page treatise, now published, addresses that, he said.

Hunt said he believes every event in Genesis can be observed to be happening daily.

"Either you experience a universe of chaos or a universe of order and processes that produce immediate and calculable results," he wrote. "The results of my research support and prove that everything that exists was spoken into existence from waves to matter to mind."

"My professors think my application of accepted laws and theories may bend the rules a bit, but the ideas are thought-provoking and progressive," he said.

The website describes the integration of several mathematical systems including "Phi, Pi, L-systems, Penrose tiling, and an all-encompassing Koch curve."

The outline, available at scienceprovescreation.com, already has sold more than 1,700 copies.

Hunt said his goal was to be able to provide experiments that would explain the Genesis creation story – in the order the Bible records events happened.

"Some of my teachers are like, 'That's complete hogwash,'" he said, "while others say, 'That's pretty interesting.'"

His goal is to bring a unity to the Christian community, "just like the founders of our nation expected and wanted from the Constitution."

The documentation of his processes, Hunt believes, could end debate.

"People want to know the truth, to have something to stand on that's not trickery and deceit," he said. "This gives people something real to touch, hang on to."

Just like to know everyones thoughts. There have been many prophets throughout time from Nostordamus to people in the Bible. The problem is all these predictions leave so much to interpatation that you can make it sound right with just about anything. People have thought they were living in the "end times" for hundreds of years.

So many shows now deal with this topic and many say they know the date and this is why. What do you think, are we in end times? If so, when and how will the end come?

I just have a hard time figuring out why a god would make a baby be born prematurely and then kill it.

Oh, yeah. Despite his track record he doesn't kill children.

Why would God allow a child to be born prematurely and then watch it die?

What was the good in that?

Perhaps the child would have grown to be a tyrant or something, right???
