What would happen when the earth explodes billions of years from now when the sun gets too close? Would you just be floating in space, forever, all alone? Immortality itself seems like a death sentence.

I just asked a question:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071115182826AALVR7M&cp=2

And the most legitimate (or rather, least silly) answer was that scientists would all loose their jobs/loose grant money if they dared to support the "truth" of Creationism.

So the question now is: Why are the people in charge of the grant money (basically, the people supporting scientists) hell-bent on refuting Creationism (as Creationists seem to think)? What's their agenda?

And how is it that all these ego-driven blasphemers seem to agree, scientifically? You don't have all these different camps saying that the earth's 7 million, 2 billion, 120,000 years old, etc. Weird huh?

You don't have to be a murderer, pedophile, drunkard or drug addict to forfeit your soul to the devil. All you have to do is ignore Jesus. And that is enough to separate someone's soul forever from God. If you don't have Jesus today, you are deceived and hell bound. Please consider the gift of salvation that Jesus can offer you right now.

if you owned slaves, died, and went to Heaven in 1650, did you get notified that "There has been a slight mistake. Please report to God for reassignment"?

From the book you study from, choose Chapter 24 or 7 and verse 24 or 7. Tell me what it says and what it means for you?

my interest is to see if there is a correlation between the many religions and books of worship. Thanks

I'm not looking for a "because God said so" answer. I'm looking for a real answer.

Historically, what is the reason? Is it simply an attempt by earlier Jews/Christians/Muslims to replace the older pagan religions by scaring people away from them?

Jesus was Jewish. Jews do not take Christ as the messiah, so would Jesus even believe he is a savior if he were alive today?

I understand that many of you don't believe in god, spirits, the bible, etc but historically there's proof of a big flood from other ancient cultures in the world, including the Native American cultures. So do you believe there could've been a Noah that saved a lot of animals and his family from a giant flood by building an ark and letting them reside there?

The Christian god is defined as a personal being who knows everything. According to Christians, personal beings have free will. In order to have free will, you must have more than one option, each of which is avoidable. This means that before you make a choice, there must be a state of uncertainty during a period of potential: you cannot know the future. Even if you think you can predict your decision, if you claim to have free will, you must admit the potential (if not the desire) to change your mind before the decision is final. A being who knows everything can have no "state of uncertainty." It knows its choices in advance. A being that knows its choices in advance has no potential to avoid its choices, and therefore lacks free will. Since a being that lacks free will is not a personal being, a personal being who knows everything cannot exist. Therefore, the Christian god does not exist.

If I'm wrong, can you kindly tell me where I'm wrong?

Do you find yourself hungering for more or are you drifting away? do a little soul searching. Don't be afraid to ask for prayer and get your self a Bible partner. Like love, sharing the Word of God causes it to grow in you.

So are you growing or fading?

We fight the world the flesh and the Devil. There are so many wondrous things to drag us into the pit. It is so hard not to be a lover of this world.

Be not deceived. Let us pray for each other.

Last year there was an argument at my school started by a veteran at the program we had on Veterans day, and he demanded we prayed, but the principle said we can not because of the separation of church and state (I'm with my principle). Who do you think was right? By the way, this is a public school.

I do not agree with many of the ideals of most religions, and most religious people don't agree with most of the ideals I live by. Although we disagree, we are human (more or less) and have a limited time learn and grow. As my health begins to fade more rapidly I feel that anything that evokes thought is worthwhile, even if it is done through somewhat devious means. I will continue to toss out questions that only make sense to me, or questions that are controversial, because they tend to provoke thought, and through thought knowledge and understanding. We all need to consider that everyone here is a person, with the same feelings and cares as everyone else. We also need to consider that in some cases, people actually have a lot riding on the answers received here. Though it is a good distraction for some of us, try to keep in mind that it is based on learning from each other. Answer honestly, Question often, and don't be afraid to have a good time.
Thanks for your time and opinions.

Jesus, the founder of Christianity was not Christian. No he was not atheist and although he was Jewish and got some of his inspiration there, his teachings came from inside of him and his heart therefore proving people CAN come up with good values without religion. If religion determines completely if one has morals values and no one can think them up on their own, then wouldn't every Jewish person at that time be a great as Jesus was? Also, Judaism came from people who also thought up their own morals from what they thought was right.
