Leviticus 17:11
‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’
The blood carries water and nourishment to every cell, maintains the body’s temperature, and removes the waste material of the body’s cells. The blood also carries oxygen from the lungs throughout the body. In 1616, William Harvey discovered that blood circulation is the key factor in physical life—confirming what the Bible revealed 3,000 years earlier. If the Bible is historically inaccurate, how did it know the value of blood 3000 years before science did?

Can anyone explain a theory of origins (universe, life, complexity) from an atheist's perspective?

I think I have a pretty good grasp on the creationist's claims, but I'm wondering if creationists can comprehend the an atheistic view?

((Of course, there's no consensus among atheists, but an explanation of any godless theory would work))

according to the genesis story - which i know many here believe to be literally true - outer space is made entirely of water.

(genesis 6-7: And God said: Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament, and it was so).

so what i want to know is: if you believe that outer space is made entirely of water, why don't astronauts drown?

Budhism try to show that to be a religion you dont need to worship a higier power but to have some type of general union with a bunch of people who think the same way. Does this make them a religion? and if so, are atheist religious too?

Let's pretend your God was the kind of God that loved everyone unconditionally and wanted uncondtional love in return and as a result made it so there was no heavenly reward or hellfire punishment to motivate or threaten anyone into loving God.

Your choice was to be made COMPLETELY uncoerced with no expectation or fear of anything.

What would be your means to evangelize to a non-Christian to love and worship your God?


I worship only out of simple gratitude, awe and affection completely outside of any expectation of getting a reward or avoiding some kind of terrible doom or punishment. Do you feel the same?

"And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon." - Revelation 9:3,11 KJV.

You can't get your morals from the Bible. It teaches that you should not sin and believe in Jesus in order to avoid going to hell or to be accepted into heaven. That's not really being moral, it's being good out of fear or reward. And if you still happen to sin, you can ask just for forgiveness. It basically teaches you that you can get away with anything as long you repent.


So where do Christians get their morals?

According to the bible, he was around at the time this was written.

John
4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Seems to me the bible is taken too literal, Instead of being created in 6 days i think its more like 6 billion years, I think dinosaurs were long gone before the flood and i dont think the ark could have held two of every kind of animal, I dont believe Adam and Eve were the first humans but more like the first in Christs Lineage, And what about the Wooly Mammoth found in Siberia, Is it possible for the japanese to clone the DNA from a 13,000 year old Elephant? And UFO'S? I dont believe in life on other planets, I mean, If there were i think we would have sent them foreign aid by now!

I have always wondered that. I mean like if dinosaurs got created and other life got created. I'm sure people will say God created us. But what could be the real truth. I believe god could have created earth and us. Could anybody that might know theories of how we got created? Why didnt' we got created in dinosaur era or other era why this era?

Just wondering if any creationists could think of a way to prove creationism? Even if evolution is disproved then that wouldn't prove it. The only thing I can think of is if God came along and made an animal out of some mud, but I would probably think it was just a good illusionist.

By the way nobody say the beauty of the world or something, beauty is subjective and not evidence.

A Maryland court recently decided against Westboro Baptist Church, and I wanted to get a good idea of the reaction to that from others, believers and unbelievers alike?

I personally think it is wonderful, (and I myself am a Baptist Minister) but I do believe that hate is not appropriate. We should never abide sin in ourselves or others, but blatantly showing hate and contempt for people is not at all what the Scriptures teach. While love is not unconditional, Scripture is very clear that God loves us through the sacrifice of His Son, God does love us enough to help us to put away the old self, and punish us when we are refusing to do that. God's Love and God's Judgment are just opposite sides of the same coin, you cannot separate the two from each other.

So I ask again, what do you think about the Westboro decision?

christians who accept the Bible as the only rule of faith and religion, go back to the observance of the Sabbath. The fact that they do not, but on the contrary observe the Sunday, are you not under the laws of the catholic church. Isaiah 56: 2-5 you see the blessing we are to receive.
