Can anyone make me believe life after death exists?

Seems like science disproved the Earth was flat a long time ago.
Why don't creationists give it up and accept that the Earth evolved as a celestial body just like any other planet?

i have this nagging thought in the back of my head that makes me want to doubt the bible sometimes. am i turning into an atheist? the more i listen to what people have to say, and what science has to say, the more, according to what i just read from someone, "silly the bible looks". can i have some kind of reassurance here? eg. read all those questions on the Big Bang

They say "by the spirit". What's the reason the Church insist in interpret "by the letter". Do you think it's too late? Where would we go to hear the true meaning of the Bible?

As you can see from my avatar, the Satanists gave me a makeover for the party.

And I vow to spend the next 24 hours au naturelle.

How would you like to contribute to the party?

Please take no disrespect from this question, I am merely curious about this belief. I, myself, believe in evolution.

As for people who do not believe in creationism, please do not use this as an opportunity to mock the beliefs of others. Certainly, that is not the behavior of an intellectual.

Personally, I see absolutely nothing wrong with pride. Jack is proud as a peacock and makes no bones about it. I've also observed that this biblical maxim does not play out as a general rule in the real world. I think it more likely that foolishness goes before a fall.

I wonder if the religious-minded discourage pride because self-confident individuals do not make for good converts.

Your thoughts?

Personally, I would say about 25%. Maybe 100 to 150 out of 550. And why do many refer to these "victims" as survivors?
A survivor, the last I checked, means someone who survives a deadly encounter.

I wanted to argue with the non believers who said this area is belief/opinion so I looked it up and they are correct in saying belief and opinion fall into the same category in the dictionary and thesaurus so see, I am honest, BUT, FOR A CHRISTIAN, Believing in God is all about TRUST, and it is like if you fall backwards would you believe someone might catch you or would you trust someone to catch you ?????????/ I'd rather have trust myself, like I do in God.

The Watch-maker theory goes something like this:

You are walking in the desert, and come across a watch. Do you assume the watch just naturally originated there through natural processes, or do you assume it was made by a watch-maker?

This is the Intelligent Design advocate's way of saying that because the parts and functions of a watch are carefully crafted to do what it does, it requires a designer to make it that way.

Thus, because we are complex, we too must require a Designer.

You following this logic?

(o.O)

But I must ask, has anyone examined the DNA of a watch?
Has anyone seen two watches doing it in the bushes?

Without DNA and reproductive sex, there is very little evolution occurring.

Actually, there is no evolution occurring without DNA and reproductive sex.

A watch has about as much in common with us as granite.

Do you have any hoary chestnuts like this one you'd like to throw into the Tea Party's Lake of Fire?

I'm an atheist, but my bf is Catholic. I respect all religions and the people who worship them, but we always have this debate:

My bf admits that with the life he has led and things he's done in the past God may not be giving him a thumbs for them, but he says that all one has to do is repent and they'll be forgiven. He says that God will know who is really sorry or not.

But to me that sounds like an easy way into heaven! If people are not living their lives holy everyday, and doing things they know are wrong but just feeling they can repent for them later isn't that too easy?

If the apocalypse (if that exists) were happening tomorrow, would everyone be repenting until the end, hoping that God would forgive them? Why do they have to wait until there is trouble, why not just live your life right to begin with, or repent the next day?

Please no rude answers, but I'd like to a variety of opinions...thanks!

According to the genealogy of the bible, Noah who made the ship during the flood, was a descendant of Adam and Eve. Now according to Evolution there could not have been an Adam and Eve because we all came from APES. So with out an Adam and Eve.....there can be no Noah. With out a Noah there could be no flood and with out Noah to restart life there can be no Abraham.
With out Abraham there can be no lineage that produced David who was the Husband of Mary and the Step Dad of Jesus Christ.

So now there can be no Jesus Christ....

Oh yea, and there are no Jews either because they are a descendant of Abraham as well.

Gee, kind of makes Christianity hard doesn't it?

Means protectors of Cows....Everywhere devotees used to sing the glory of HIS name...But nows a days we see people are torturing Cows, murder them....but HE is not coming to save them...I am not able to u nderstand.. If name has power then HE should come and protect them...or HE has gone and power has gone with HIM. OR name does not have any power.

It is all imagination...My Hindu friends please clarify...

Ok, ok. Re. a Q askin g about the Big Bang and what caused it...

I know and understand science pretty well. I took several college courses in both astronomy and physics (both cornerstones in understanding the most elemental nature of the universe and "its" creation, and did pretty good in them, too!) I offer a few points to everyone who cites science as an ultimate explanation for the genesis of the universe we exist in and are learning about.
1. We don't know how much there is to "know", to learn about the universe. How will we even "know" when we know all we need to know? I further contend that there will always be questions to be answered and, moreover, that new discoveries spawn more Q's.
2. Our knowledge of the universe will be lost in two areas of basic human understanding; time-space and physics. OUR universe exists in "time" we are still grasping, trying to understand, but the forces that existed and possibly generated our uni did not necessarily obey the same laws of

Christians use the excuse for their dishonesty 'We are not perfect, we were created in sin'. I guess I expected too much from them. At least their religion is documented by history. As for the Mormons...some Japanese are so gullible to believe this when they have their own Shinto and Buddhist religions.

I asked similar questions yesterday and got some good answers but still have questions.

I fell in love with a muslim man. I am a chrsitian woman. He is from Saudi. I am intereseted in the Muslim faith.

I have known him for awhile. He has been engaged the whole time I knew him. I loved him but did not tell him. Well the day before he left I told him. He told me he too loved me and I was in his heart. He says I wish you had of told me earlier because I could have changed things. He asked when he came back if I would still love him. I told him yes I cant change it.

So what will happen when he returns? I do know what he says is not really a good thing to say in his faith. I know he should not tell me what he said. I just do not know what he expects of me? I have had many people say he is a snake. I know his heart. He is a very good person. I am not some silly woman who is being played. I know him.
so bottom line what will happen when he comes back?

I feel this answers so many of our religious questions like "why me".......
"The Plan of the Master Weaver"
Author Unknown
Our lives are but fine weaving
That "God" and we prepare,
Each life becomes a fabric planned
And fashioned in "His" care.
We may not always see just how
The weaving intertwines,
But we must trust the Masters hand
And follow "His" design.
For He can view the pattern
Upon the upper side,
While we must look from underneath
And trust in "Him" to guide.
Sometimes a strand of sorrow
Is added to "His" plan,
And though it's difficult for us,
We still must understand.
That it's "He" who fills the shuttle
It's "He" who knows what's best,
So we must weave in patience
And leave to "Him" the rest.
Not till the loom in silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall "God" unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needed
In the Weaver's skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern "He" has planned.
