Thank you...

Answer 2

I know without a shadow of doubt that Jesus Christ is very real, and the Savior of all who come to him. It has not always been that way though. There was a time when I wondered if God was real, but I wanted to know for sure. I begin to search for answers and after much study I believed what the Bible said. I prayed and asked for forgiveness of my sins. I invited Jesus Christ into my life, to be Lord of all. He put his Holy Spirit into me as proof that he is real. I have no doubt what soever, because a Spirit that was not there before is now inside me. In the Bible you will read many verses that back up what I have said.

John 14:16&17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him, but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and SHALL BE IN YOU.

1 John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandmants dwelleth in him, and HE IN HIM. And hereby we know that he abideth IN US, by the SPIRIT which he hath given us.

1 John 4:4 Greater is he that is IN you, than he that is in the world.

I could show you many more places in the Bible where it talks about God's Holy Spirit living inside a true born again Christian. Because of his Spirit living inside me I no longer wonder about life, and if God is real. For me this is an absolute certainty. I don't push God on anyone, if they ask, I will tell them the best way I know. If you don't want to know then that is OK with me.

P.S. You asked!

Yes. 1 + 1 = 2

Answer 4

"I think, therefore I am."
-Renee Descartes

Pretty certain, but beyond that no one knows much of anything. Some serious scientific theories hold that the universe is actually a hologram, and we are technically all illusions created by some other reality.

Answer 5

I know for a fact that there is someone out there who, by sometimes using things I don't want and don't understand, changes me for the better in ways I could have never imagined.

This someone has always had my best interest in mind, and forces me to grow.

Answer 6

That there is no way to tell without a doubt if god exist or not. Also that I am 13, a girl, born in new Jersey. And one day I will die.

Answer 7

I know for certain I will look at the tax deducted from my salary, and certainly WON'T believe it. Does that help?

Oh, and today is Children in Need day, so keep pledging that cash.

Answer 8

That I absolutely adore my precious Golden Retriever, Buffy, she is so sweet and beautiful. I am absolutely certain that she loves me more than anything in the whole world, even food.

Answer 9

I know absolutely that I belong to Jesus. Other than that, I don't know anything as I ought to know it. And, actually, if we want to get down to the nitty gritty on what I know absolutely, I would even suggest that I don't even really know that as I ought to know it.

EDIT: So, yeah, come to think of it, I absolultely know that I don't know anything as I ought!

I'm free now. Thanks.

Answer 10

No, the whole "life" is a Bayesian Network. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_network , http://www.bts.gov/publications/journal_of_transportation_and_statistics/volume_07_number_23/images/figure_02_03.gif)

But, and this is a big BUT, the fact that "life" is a Bayesian Network is itself in the Bayesian Network.
