For one, how can we trust science. If sience has come so far as to "prove" that we evolved from fish, then why can they not find a cure for AIDS? If they really knew all that about us, shouldn't they be able to cure such a deadly disease?
Also, yes, God does grant us eternal life, but we have to "earn" it. In the Bible, we are told that one day "death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be any more, the former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4) This shows us that one day, we will live in a new earth. We won't be an orb olf light or something like that. We will have a beautiful earth to live in, free of violence and death, where we will live eternally.
Also, we cannot be an "orb of light" flying about, because the Bible says "the dead are concious of nothing" (Ecclesiastes 9:5) which disproves your theory. One day, the dead will awaken in a Paradise earth, which I mentioned before.
How can we trust the bible? Well, as we read in 2 TImothy 3:16, "all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial." When you read the Bible, all Scripture is in accordance with eachother. When reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, (the accounts of Jesus) they all are the same "story" but written by four different men. The Bible is composed of books that God thought would be beneficial to man.
If you study the Bible properly, and understand scriptural teachings, we can become God's friend.
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) This is the very first scripture in the bible. Right away it shows that God created our planet, and the others. God has always been here, and always will be.

Do you seriously believe we evolved from fish? Go to www.freecreationvideos.com. Read tornado in a Junk Yard. You've been lied to. You have to know that the universe is much too complicated to have just happened by chance, that all that information didn't get into a strand of DNA without a programmer. Seriously. The educators of today have tried to remove God from every part of our society.Just a few decades ago it wasn't that way. Our children are taught they evolved from fish or monkeys over millions of years. There should be all kind of fossils of creatures in in between states of evolution. Why aren't there creatures in between today. They also try to tell us this was not a Christian nation. There are thousands of documents that prove to the contrary that this nation was created specifically to be a Christian nation.They have altered our history books and left out what they don't want you to know. Read One Nation Under God by D. James Kennedy. I know this is a different subject matter altogether than you asked about, but it will serve to prove to you that there is a purposeful attempt to mislead and deceive our youth today . Some good videos for you to watch if you are seriously searching for the answer to this question are The Signature Of God and The Privileged Planet.God bless!!

If we evolved from fish, WHO put the first fish in the ocean??? Who made the air that we breathe, the plants we eat? How come we don't see any half-evolved beings around anymore?
Have you seen the miraculous creation of a baby in the mother's womb? It started as a sperm and an egg fusing together to form 2 cells, and from that it multiplied to make us all with different shapes and sizes, with brains to think and discern, with a heart to love and feel. Do you know that our skin can rejuvenate itself everyday by shedding the old cells on the topmost layer? Doesn't your bruised skin heal itself after a few days? If our skin could do this, doesn't it mean we are actually capable of living eternally, if not for the Fall of Adam and Eve?
Look at our Solar System for example. It has planets circulating around the sun in an ORDERLY manner with no way of colliding with one another. And this has been happening for umpteen years. Who else could have done such miracles? The Big Bang? If you go into a vacuum chamber, blast a rock to pieces, would the fragments float around in an orderly manner as what God has created in the universe?
So, don't just listen to science about the non-existence of God. Look, reason and see the evidence of His creation.

Good question
Hopefully I can answer one part of that.
When some people think of heaven, like you did, they cant imagine it being real. They usually have questions...where is it? how long is forever? Like you just did.
The truth is that the way the human mind works, is we automatically have a set way of thinking. We always think that there is a beginning and there is an end. To mankind, we are the most powerful, but what some people dont realize is that there is something greater. There is God.
God is timeless. For God, there is no end. This is why, he lives forever, and this is why heaven is for eternity. Our mind set is that there has to be an end, when beyond that, is eternity.

The ETERNAL question!
As long as humans had become conscious of themselves, they have asked this very same question. (Which separates humans from animals. Animals just are--- humans want to be!)
Relax! The truth is NO ONE knows! No one could possibly know the actual truth of "God" and live to tell it! Besides being labeled insane, killed for the knowledge, shunned by everyone and all that, if one actually did know the truth of "God" their body couldn't handle the energy.
Think about it--- have you ever seen a star cradle, a photo of the Eagle Nebula? This is a formation in space that births stars (!!!) UNIVERSES. If this isn't the closest to what "God" is, I don't know what is! And NOWHERE in any written religious text does it address this awe-inspiring creation of creations!
Still relaxed? Here's another for you--- quantum physics states that reality is as the viewer perceives it. See the Double Slit experiment for proof. Expectations produces results, ie, your limitations limit you. Not "God" or some other being out there somewhere. YOU are your own "God." Be careful what you pray for, all that.
So what does it mean?
That perhaps, "God" the concept of it is what you are, what you believe to be is who s/he is.
Pretty simple.

that's the thing about faith. faith is believing without proof, never needing it and using what proof you have of what God has done in your life to share with others.
it's called the "big bang THEORY." not the big bang fact. how was a lot of something...created from nothing? only a God could do something like that. energy can't just be turned into mass, even if it did run rampant in the universe.
anything can be proven, if you try hard enough. if i wanted to, i could prove my dog was a cat. he makes a meowing sound, he rubs against my leg, he'll drink milk without thinking twice, and loves to climb all over my furniture. therefore, he must be a cat, right?
right...
while the bible was written by human hands, it was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and the time periods and stuff between all of the books match up to history pretty well.
humans without faith will go to desperate measures to prove something, including science. while it may make perfect sense, that doesn't mean it's right. the human brain and the spirit are two different things. using your head in that logical way is a human trait in this context, while believing with your soul is a spiritual trait.
and how much sense does it make that we came from fish? really....even if somebody tried to explain it to me, i wouldn't buy it. from fish? yeh, ok.
we worship God because we believe in him, friend. we love him, and since we were turned from the 'easy' path we've seen all of the ways he's worked in our lives and how amazing he is. nobody else may be able to understand, but if you just open your heart to Him then you'll see how he exists, and you won't need any proof because you'll know in your heart that he's there.
every unsaved person has a void in their heart that only God can fill, but in rebellion for lack of proof, they try to fill that void with science, logic, etc. and where does it get them? into petty arguments with people who are so sure of what they believe in that they don't need proof and don't need to argue.

You are on the road to enlightment. By asking the question, you have proven that you havn't entirely made up your mind to disbelieve. FAITH......is the key to Godly enlightment. If you want to KNOW that the Bible was inspired and directed of God, take the time to sit down and read it. The answer will come to you. Please do not scoff the idea of God's Word, if you havn't taken the time to read it and make a conscience and educated decision on it's authenticity. Don't go on what others say, find out for yourself. GOD BLESS!

Yes without doubt. Truth is available and there is no excuse for not knowing about the Creator. WHO are without excuse? Let Scripture answer: “What can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. Ever since the creation of the world his invisible [essence], namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.” (Rom. 1:19, 20, RS) Yes, “they are without excuse,” those who deny the existence of the true and living God, Jehovah. Atheists are on the increase according to Gallup polls. False religion has repelled many people from coming to know God. But the truth is now available to all honest-hearted persons. So there is no excuse for not knowing the Creator and Supreme Sovereign of the universe, Jehovah God. Why are they without excuse? Because creation testifies to God’s existence: “His invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are understood by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship.” Jehovah’s prophet admonishes: “Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these.” Does not what we see in the sky testify to Jehovah’s power? Why, even a person with low intelligence who sees an automobile for the first time does not believe that all its parts just happened to put themselves together. There had to be intelligent supervision to produce such a complex creation; yet how much more complex is the least of God’s creation that our eyes behold in the sky!—Rom. 1:20, NW; Isa. 40:26, AS. So the heavens speak of God’s glory: “The heavens [both the literal heavens and the “new heavens”] are telling the glory of God, and the sky shows forth the work of his hands. Day unto day pours forth speech, and night unto night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes forth through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”—Ps. 19:1-4, AT. Jehovah’s power and other perfections may be known from the beauty, excellence, variety and immensity of his creation. And, indeed, the scale of perfections evident in the universe implies the existence of an absolute standard, a perfect Being. So as Christ’s apostle said: “They are without excuse.”—Rom. 1:20.
