Religion & Spirituality - 1 April 2007

is it not strange how people seem to fear jesus, whose message is love, it is a real puzzle to me! In the world there is so much cruelty, hatred and pain, yet so many blind themselves to the truths found in his word. Read it, or are you too afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you say that the 6 days of creation cannot be interpreted other than 6 literal 24 hour days, then wouldn't you also have to interpret Joshua making the sun stand still as literal rather than figurative. The concept of the earth revolving around the sun would not have been observable in ancient times, which is why people described the sun as rising and setting. That means many things in the Bible were written within the scope of human observation. It wasn't really relevant that God should tell people about the scientific detail behind everything, because that's not what's essential. Does that mean that it would be compromising your beliefs for science for you to interpret the sun standing still as the earth not rotating on its axis rather than taking it for its word. You might be able to say that radiocarbon dating is flawed, but how would you be able to deny evidence for the earth's rotation that can now be readily observed, unless you say that it's all just an optical illusion

I was wondering if anyone can elaborate on the following:

Similarities I have found between Christianity and Native American beliefs are that the Native Americans believe in "The Great Spirit" and we believe in GOD.

Native Americans believe in "Mother Earth". God gave us the earth to provide for us, as a mother for her children. Native Americans worshiped everything individually on the Earth, as a child worships gifts from its mother.

Native Americans believed that EVERYTHING on this earth has a spirit.

In complicated times as ours, it seems almost peaceful to view things as such. Can anyone elaborate more on the beliefs of the Native Americans and on the spirits they believe all objects have?

Many were taught Christianity and many believe, as I do. But it makes sense to worship all that we have been given by GOD.

Any opinions?

I believe the bible to be mosty accurate. Some things in it I believe that man added. For instance Noah bring two animals on a boat and those animals populated the whole animal kindom? Hard to believe. Also people in the old testement living to be almost a 1000 years old. Impossible. They have never even found a skeleton from old testement times that would suggest that anyone lived even two hundred years. The story of Jonah being swallowed by a fish and living it for three days before being spit out and living. People have to stop being puppets and use common sense. If the bible had almost anything in it many people would just almost always say it is true no matter how unreal it seems.

Okay, in my previous question some people xtians and agnostics say they believe in evolution.

Tell me, do you really think that you can stay a non-atheist while maintaining evolution is fact?

Look at all the evidence before you.

NOWHERE in Darwinism is the mention of god found.

you are deceiving yourselves.

if you truly comprehend, not understand but comprehend Darwinism you must, by default become an athiest.

really, I challenge you to rethink your comprehension of Evolution.

all this shows is that you have a very infantile mind.

In my biology class, we've just reached the section on evolution. However, to my dismay, my teacher announced that we would only be spending about one week learning about Darwin and his theories on evolution. Also, not only is my class only learning evolution for one week, but other bio teachers in my school teach it for a month or more. When questioned, my teacher said that evolution "raises to much argument." As for myself, I think she should teach regardless of supposed controversy. However, I am curious to hear what other people think about my bio teacher's position on evolution. Is she not teaching it because she herself doesn't believe it? Does she believe parts of it, but is just really religious? I don't know, and asking her probably isn't the smart thing to do.

There are over 8,000 gods whose non-existence cannot be proved. Now what would make them angrier; you lavishing your attention on another god, or you just not paying them any attention? Wouldn’t they be like a jealous ex boyfriend or girlfriend, they’d rather you were sad and lonely than happy in the arms of another. I’m basing this on the fact that I’ve heard that some gods are jealous gods. So isn't atheism the safest option?

It’s too early for tequila; I’ll just have a beer, thanks.

Because the bible is NOT the word of God.

The God I believe in would not order me to put my son to death for cursing me.

A 95-million-year-old marine lizard with minuscule front legs may shed new light on the evolution of modern reptiles, particularly snakes, scientists have reported.

The fossilized remains of the reptile represent the earliest known example of a lizard evolving toward a limbless state, according to experts who described the new species.


The creature's vestigial, or no longer functional, forelimbs barely protrude from its long, snakelike body.

Although its rear legs were of normal size, researchers said the lizard was probably an eel-like swimmer that spent little time on land.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/03/070326-lizard-snakes.html

I realize that a 95 million year old lizard does not prove that God did not create him but it does support the age of the earth as being far older than 6,000 years.

So tell me folks, Are you going to go to National Geographic for unbiased answers or are you going to go to Answers in Genesis? LOL!

look around you!
let's see, the example i use most often is doorways. if you enter a house that is over 100 years old, the original doorways are much shorter than they are today because people were shorter then. evolution has resulted in a present day taller human.
take a look at germs - they evolve continuoulsy. you can't use antibiotics to kill certain germs because they have evolved so much that they are resistant to them.
there are many examples of small scale evolution in today's world, i just don't understand why some people easily dismiss it? is it because it doesn't fit into their religious views?
