How many Christians believe the following things?

Question

1) Albert Einstein believed in God and once defended the idea to an Atheist Professor
2) The Anti-Christ is alive somewhere on the planet Earth.
3) We are living in the last days.
4) The USA is involved in a battle against Islam.
5) The USA is a Christian Nation.
6) Evolution is just a theory.

Answer key:
1) This is an Urban Legend. The only 'god' Einstein ever professed a belief in was "the God of Spinoza". Spinoza is often referred to as "The Greatest Atheist" or "The First Atheist" and was excommunicated by the Jewish Church for his Atheistic beliefs.

When he uttered, "God does not play dice", Einstein was actually referring to the Hindu Holy books, where Lord Krishna states, "I am the Dice. I am the fire that burns within the heart of all that is." Einstein stated that the Hindu Creation story was the only plausible religious explanation he had ever read.

2) The 'Anti-Christ' is never mentioned in any prophetic book in the entire Bible. The only use of the term, in the Epistles, is to describe the Gnostics, who were seen as opposing Christ because they didn't accept the resurrection. And it is never used to describe an individual.

3) From a tablet found in Assyria, dating to 2,800 BCE: "Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption are common."

Islam was created in Saudi Arabia, an ally of the USA. Other allies include Jordan, Turkey, Kuwait and the UAE, all predominately Muslim. The only countries in Muslim regions that do have diplomatic relations with the United States are Syria, Iran and Libya. (Off the top of my head, there may be more.)

5) Treaty of Tripoli, 1796: "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

6) So is the Theory of Gravity.

Typo in Number 4 (dealing with Islam).
"The only countries in Muslim regions that do NOT have diplomatic relations" is how it should read.

Answer 1

1) no and yes
(he didn't believe in Jesus, and without Christ you don't "believe" in God, biblically speaking)
2) no and yes
(not necessarily one particular individual, but anyone who denies Christ)
3) yes, since Christ
(The Bible said then we were in "the last days" and the end has not yet arrived. So, the last days could go on for another two thousand or so. Or end tomorrow.
4) yes
(this hardly needs to be proved. The entire western civilization is under attack by Islam)
5) no and yes
(We certainly have Christian moorings and the founding fathers were 95% Chrsitian, but the majority of our people now are more "religious" than Christian, and our culture does just about everything to shut Christiainity down in the public arena)
6) yes
(It hasn't been upgraded to the "Fact of Evolution" even in science books, I don't believe, even though they teach it as such. I don't buy it)

Answer 2

1) Albert Einstein believed in God and once defended the idea to an Atheist Professor

No. I think Einstein was an Aeitheist.

2) The Anti-Christ is alive somewhere on the planet Earth.
No. I do not even believe in existence of Anti-Christ

3) We are living in the last days.
No. I believe if we learn how to wisely use our resources and not destroy our Earth, we have many many more days ahead of us.

4) The USA is involved in a battle against Islam.
No, though many in our government need to learn more about Islam and realize that not all Muslims are terrorists.

5) The USA is a Christian Nation.
Yes if you judge by what religion the majority of its population is said to be practicing. And no, if you think it is as much of a Christian nation as it is a "white" nation. Is it really?

6) Evolution is just a theory.
Yes, and I do not think it was ever proven, hence it can not really be anything else but a theory.

Answer 3

Mystic Christianity:

1. Einstein more and more pointed out the importance of God, the One who Surprises with Its Daily Miracles, the Source of Anything, the One which is NeverEnding and for that UnKnowable in Its Totality. Einstein: a True Believer.

2. The Bad (Devils) as well as The Good (Angels) are part of our Reality. They are "mental" dimension. People can choose to follow the ones or the others. They have been set ("here") by God. Your mind can be devoted to the ones or to the others and/or sometimes be devoted to the ones and some other times to the others.

3. Even Buddhists say we are living in the "last Kalpa". The problem is that people do not consider that "a God's day" do not last like "a human day". A God's day can last thousand of years.

4. Most probably USA have monetary interests in their "battles".

5. People in USA are mainly "Christians". But maybe they are not Mystic Christians and they are ruled by "laws" made up by humans (Istitutional Christianity, which somehow lost the original message brought on Earth by the Prophet Jesus-The-Christ, PBUH).

6. Yes, actually it is a theory. And Phisically (Science) speaking there is the theory of "Quantic" (Sorry I do not know the specific word in English. The Quantistic Phisic?). Evolution is not necessarely a matter of fact which happens the one after the other but, evolution can "jump" from a Condition to another Condition, suddenly. It is not just a matter of "causes and effects" strictly connected the ones to the other (apparently).

BE SPIRITUAL BEAUTY, GOODNESS AND TRUTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE ALL OF US.

Answer 4

1. I have heard something to that effect, but I don't have enough evidence to confirm it.
2. I don't believe this one.
3. I believe it -- but the *specific number of days remaining* could be less than ten to the first power, or greater than ten to the ninth power.
4. United States citizens are being attacked by, and are defending themselves against, individuals and groups professing Islam -- but the war is not between the USA and Islam in the same sense as World War II was between the Allies and the Axis.
5. The US Constitution was written by people who honored the same principles that practicing Christians honor, such as belief that there is a Supreme Being who has given us rules of conduct and expects us to follow them -- but not all of our founders were Christians. Some were Deists, and some were Jews.
6. If by evolution you mean variation within species, such as all the various breeds of dog -- so different, yet all dogs -- it is a well-known fact.

If by evolution you mean that all animal life including humans grew from the same proto-animalian origins, or happened by random occurrence, it has not been proven yet. Of course, neither has it been proven that there is a Supreme Being who planned it all -- but the idea that there is and was a plan makes more sense to me than the idea that randomness could produce such intricacies as there are.

Answer 5

I believed in number 3 and 6 only. The USA is not a Christian nation, it is a nation of many religions, the USA is not against religion in a war, the Anti-Christ isn't alive, he is beaten by God, if there was one, and I don't know about the first.

Answer 6

1) Apparently I don't know my history well enough, but I've never heard this. I do know that he certainly didn't live like a Christian.

2) No, but that's just personal opinion.

3) Yes, but also just personal opinion.

4) No. It's involved in a battle against terrorism, which is related to extreme Islam, but not regular Islam. The US is actually a whole lot more tolerant of Muslims than it is of Christians.

5) "One Nation Under God" "In God We Trust". It might claim to be, but No. I don't think so.

6) Yes, just a theory. One could make a good argument that it's actually just a Hypothesis, but I won't go there.

Answer 7

1 sure if you say so.
2. not really but remotely possible.
3. possible in a very broad sense.
4. i don't think so
5. Nope. We are a post-Christian nation.
6. Evolution( the origin of mankind theory) as defined by the theorist himself(Charles Darwin) has not been proven. Darwin said that if his theory were correct there would be multitudes of links between species in the fossil layer. And as far as I have heard we have never seen a species change from one species to another.

Evolution within a species, adaptation or variation within a species has been observed and is fairly well documented.

Answer 8

1. What was his idea of God needs to be answered first.
2. Probably, but as for me, (a Christian), that doesn't bother
me. My future is set!
3. Yep
4. Not really, just a political game all countries play.
5. Nope. It was once one. It started as a Christian nation, but
people love everything else but God. Now it's just another
secular nation.
6. Yes it is a theory.

Answer 9

4) The USA is involved in a battle against Islam.

It is hard to know what the real agenda of those in power is, there is no evidence, the US government could be boiling frogs on this matter, personally I think they are empire building. It is very apparent though that their funding of the Israeli nation is based on religion.

Antitheist

Answer 10

Okay, that is how dinosaurs have compatibility into the Bible. First of all, reptiles under no circumstances give up developing. It's only a useful organic indisputable fact that reptiles develop all their lifestyles and under no circumstances give up till the day they die. This implies that the longer a reptile lives, the greater it grows. Well, again within the days of Noah persons lived 900 years. Adam lived to 930. Noah lived to 950. They lived approximately 10 occasions longer. Instead of loss of life at eighty or ninety, they died at 800 or 900. If persons lived longer, then almost certainly, animals might have lived longer too, adding reptiles. If reptiles lived longer, then they would develop greater. Scientists have discovered fossilized stays of crocodiles that reached as much as forty to 50 ft in duration. They've discovered stays of sea turtles that reached huge sizes, a lot greater than any sea turtle in these days. Also, fossilization is a infrequent and distinct incidence, now not an every day occasion. Animals and vegetation are not able to turn out to be fossils except they're buried rather speedily and deeply within the proper components. The natural animal that dies in a forrest does now not turn out to be a fossil. And neither does the natural creature that dies in a sea or a lake. Under such a lot typical stipulations, the useless creature simply floats and disintegrates. It's frame is destroyed via predators, micro organism, and the factors. So what stipulations might be such a lot superb for the enormous fossil formations discovered within the sediments? Creation Scientists consider it might be a violent, worldwide flood disaster. Dinosaur stays global are related to water-laid sediments. Well, the Bible talks approximately a global flood. And it happened within the days of Noah, while reptiles might have reached huge sizes. So the truth that we are discovering fossilized stays of giant reptiles far and wide the earth - this suits into the Bible simply flawlessly. The rationale why they received so massive is due to the fact that they lived goodbye within the days of Noah. The rationale why they fossilized is due to the fact that of the floodwaters within the days of Noah. After that flood happened, the age of guy dropped off from approximately 900 years right down to approximately one hundred years in only some generations. The rationale why the age of guy dropped off so swiftly is due to the fact that of the cruel stipulations on the planet after that catastrophic occasion. Because of the ones harsh stipulations, many animals went extinct, adding many reptiles. The reptiles that didn't pass extinct (those which are nonetheless alive in these days) comfortably are not able to develop as massive as they used to, consequently there aren't any dinosaurs round in these days. But wait a minute. How might dinosaurs have lived in Noah's day, while they have got been dated at round sixty five million years? Well, there are a minimum of 6 unique ways of radiometric courting to be had. The assumed age of the pattern will dictate which one shall be used due to the fact that each and every one will supply another outcome. For illustration, while dinosaur stays containing carbon are discovered, they're NOT carbon dated, due to the fact that carbon courting might produce an age estimate of just a few thousand years. Because this might now not fit up with the pre-assigned age within the geologic column, scientists use an extra process of courting so one can produce an age estimate in the direction of the favored outcome. All radiometric outcome that don't fit up with the pre-assigned age within the geologic column are discarded. If you carbon date a dinosaur bone, the outcome will simplest be a couple of thousand years. The flood in Noah's day happened approximately four,four hundred years in the past. Creation Scientists consider that dinosaurs didn't turn out to be extinct till approximately three or four thousand years in the past. There used to be a time while a institution of Creation Scientists took a few dinosaur stays to the lab to be carbon dated, however they didn't inform the lab technicians that they had been dinosaur stays. After they had been dated, the lab technicians gave the stays again and stated that they dated round a couple of thousand years. Then the Creation Scientists educated the technicians that they had been dinosaur stays, and so they stated, "Oh quite? Well, why did not you let us know? If we had recognize they had been dinosaur stays, then we do not need carbon dated them. We might have used an extra process of courting, due to the fact that, of path, dinosaurs are hundreds of thousands of years historical." Obviously, the suggestion of dinosaurs being hundreds of thousands of years historical isn't quite situated upon radiometric courting. It's situated upon assumptions, due to the fact that the assumptions are what dictate which courting process is used. As an issue of reality, scientists were pronouncing that dinosaurs are hundreds of thousands of years historical ever when you consider that the 1800's. However, courting ways did not exist within the 1800's. The first courting process wasn't even invented till 1949. So undoubtedly, courting ways don't seem to be what is dictating the age of dinosaur stays.
