To all atheists/agnostics who want answers!?

Question

1. How is it that evolution has so much credibility when there is no known cross speciation fossil to colaborate it's theory. Where is the missing link(S). Not just man, but any species in any kingdom, phylum, genus order?

2. How is it that you presume to know the truth of it all when you can not even fathom the heights of our universe nor the depths of sub-atomic particles? There is also the unseen!

3. How is it that the scriptures and prophecies are 100% accurate on all accounts from the begining of civilization until today? There are thousands of them! E-mail me and I will list some of them for you!

4. In your pride do you not have that missing part of your life that you know is there? I am not condemning you, but realize your need as I have that need too, as well as every other sinner on Earth. We need the missing piece, it is the atonement of our sins that is found inside of Christ Jesus.

5. All who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved!

Interesting...

I too studied Anthropology, Philosophy, and Science...all of it based upon logic and reason emperical evidence...dig deeper and you will find the Truth for those who desire it, it shall be revealed to you...God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble...

As for stupidity, do you know what an atom looks like? No, but I do because God Showed me it..., but knowledge puffs up and love is what is really important e-mail me and I will tell you what an atom looks like to the naked eye! Come to God and He will give you gifts beyond your imagination!

Are you blind not to see powers beyond your understanding at work throughout the world? Who are these powers? They go beyond men and organizations they pull strings and each is a puppet! Now these powers are fed by good or evil, but yet they themselves exist! Greed, Strife and all that goes along with it create wars and death yet love compassion and all these that go along with it feed salvation and peace! Is that not evidence within itself!

If you had a gift that was absolutely amazing and free would you want everyone to know about it? I like the idea about minding your own business and letting others make their own decisions, which they do regardless, but this is a public forum, and I believe this is where the proper location of argument and editorial opinion exists.

Next who among you are without sin throw the first stone, have I thrown a stone other than a rock of offense, for the gospel is offensive to all of mans nature and fleshly living, it is! As christians we assert to make our life better yet only God has the power to set chains free. If we say we have no sin then we make God a liar. Faith is pursuit of Jesus in a relational way...there is no other way than to seek Jesus to live. Yes, God cleans his fish, but no man can boast of his righteousness, it is like filthy rags to God. This does not mean to sin and then have Grace abound, it means we need a savior and that is in the blood of Jesus Christ.

Answer 1

why is it that people like you care so much about the way others live their lives????? who cares, just do what your god wants and be happy. dosent that make sense???

and honestly whats worse someone who dosent belive in god, or someone who prays to and worships a god, but then sins everyday?????

Answer 2

1. Evolution at least has some credibility in that it has some evidence to back it up. You're right; the "missing link" has yet to be found. But we do know that mutations within a given species does happen. It has been shown in a laboratory using bacteria and fruit flies (both of which have short life spans, so very fast results) and in the wild with the various strains of viruses that have become immunie to antibiotics (like penicillin).
2. Anyone who claims to know "the truth of it all" is a fool. 100 years ago we didn't know the composition of the moon; now we do. 100 years from now, we may have a firm grasp on sub-atomic physics and the depth of the universe. Growth of knowledge is an ongoing task.
3. Scriptures are 100% accurate? In what way? Following the Council of Nicea I don't trust anything in the Bible as being untainted by Man's desire to create an institution that self-validates.
4. I don't buy the "all men are sinners" position and without that agreement the rest of your statement is nonsensical.
5. Not a question, demands no response.

Answer 3

1. There needent be a "missing link". We can see microevolution happening everyday. It's not hard for that to be extended to macroevolution. Besides, with humans, how much more of a link do you want? You go from the austrolapithecines (pretty ape like) to halibis and erectus (pretty human like). Not to mention the DNA aspect of it all. If evolution didn't occur, why do we share 99% of the same DNA as some other primates? Why do we share genes with bacteria?

2. We don't presume to know "the truth". We judge what we believe to be true based on the evidence available. There is more evidence for evolution than there is for god - sorry.

3. I'm not sure how you figure scripture is 100% accurate. First off, it has been transcribed through thousands of years with any number of people changing peices of it.

4. I do not feel I am missing anything in my life (except maybe a little more sex lol). I was miserable when I was going to church and trying to figure out the whole religion thing. Since leaving the church I am happier than I have ever been.

Answer 4

1. The fossil record does show evidence of transition forms. This is a rather old argument, and it's just plain outdated. I've always been much more interested in the argument of irreducible complexity.

2. No one here is presuming to know the truth of it all. Most of us are making interpretations on the available physical evidence. Anthropologists don't tend to care about subatomic particles, for instance.

3. Point out the scripture that gives the exact age of the Earth, and we'll talk. Not some indirect figure based on lineage, but a date that can be compared to an existing calendar. Then we'll talk. About geology. As a bonus, point out the scripture that says we should not trust our measurements of the physical world around us. Things like geology are pretty straightforward.

4. I'm a Christian, thanks.

5. Ok.

As an addition, I would urge you to look at your words here. A more prideful tone I have not seen in awhile.

Answer 5

So let me get this strait, I should have slaves, Thanks been looking for a good reason to get some new ones!

I'm not even gonna bother to remind you that text's can be translated and interpreted many different ways depending on dialect, and motivation.

And for the final salt for your wound, I'm a Roman Catholic, aka 2 by 4 up my butt since birth, and still not blind to others ideas, if only everyone could be so lucky.


Sorry dio, your dumb, there have been 1000's of Egyptian style chariots found at the bottom of the red sea, maybe there is some truth to some myths: is the 'red sea' was only the red stream but when Moses led his people away a flash flood quickly followed and wiped out the Egyptian chariots, did God do it? I don't know, but I know that SCIENCE has found proof that the story has some truth to it.

Answer 6

I am a Christian but I still feel it is necessary to let you know that:
evolution is a proven fact, The whole thing about needing a cross speciation fossil is bull.

And ask you, where did God come from? What was there before there was anything.

Further more when was the last time scientist asked me for anything. The things you believe we told to you by a man that then told you would go to hell if you didn't believe him and to prove you believe him put some money in a plate as it comes your way.

Answer 7

Wow. There's a whole lot more question in why you believe that creationism is true. It's far more believable to see evolution taking place than biblical creationism.

Can you see that men invented the whole thing because they didn't understand why things happened.

Also, the creation stories are based on older mythology that existed in different forms in other cultures before the bible was written. Can't you see that they just believed what their father's told them. Like nursery stories before bed.

Read about evolution. Maybe if you were fully informed then you'd understand it.

Answer 8

Another one. And there is no proof that any of those fairy tales in the bible are true. Who in the right mind would believe the Noah/Ark story, or the parting of the sea, or water into wine. The Wizard of oz is more believable.
And why do you put your faith in some man made god rather than just believe in yourself? oh because then you don't have to be held responsible for your actions.

Answer 9

This is proof of the narrow road to heaven and I agree because if God did not exist then we could do whatever we want here in this life and not have to answer for it ever again because after death what is there if God does not exist so the explanation is he does and we should do right so we end up in the right place after death
PS your question sounds insulting to those who are atheist so lighten up ur question next time so you get politer answers maybe

Answer 10

"2. How is it that you presume to know the truth of it all when you can not even fathom the heights of our universe nor the depths of sub-atomic particles? There is also the unseen!"

this statement also applies to you.
