The bible states GOD created the heavens and earth. Given mans track record in other proveable area's of scientific study. Is it wise to refuse GOD'S offer of eternal life to those who believe in his SON JESUS?

firstly God does not require blind faith.
in fact Faith is mainly geared towards those who need miracles.
what God demands off of you is not about faith.
It is simply this.
Love everyone, even your enemies.
forgive others.
live a moral life.
turn away from your previous ways.
put others before yourself.
be generous patient kind loving.
im not telling you either to join a religious group,
figure things out for yourself, accept all good teachings and reject those that arent
stop wasting your time with excuses like scientific this or that.
if you actually studied both sides you will notice that when one side answers the other side has as good as an answer,
what matters is what you do that you know is good.
how much of your money do you spend on charity and helping others?
IM NOT TALKING ABOUT CHURCH DONATIONS.
I am talking about sponsoring children in other countries or the likes of such. supporting water well building projects so they can start planting crops again etc.
start with 10% of your income.
most people will say that you dont need religion to be a good person.
its time to stop saying it and start doing it.
when you can handle 10%
step it up to 15%
then 20%
maybe one day you will reach 80% in giving.
otherwise all these words are excuses just to avoid feeling guilt over our greed.

Everyone must choose for himself what he wants to believe and what type of life he chooses to live. I, personally believe what God has offered is the best choice. I don't care what anyone else thinks; that is why free agency is there for everyone. You make the choice and go on with your life. I have not been sorry to live by faith and to have trust in God. I am not ashamed and feel that the choice is right for me. Many choose to bash God as if He were just some fantasy tale that was created by man. That is fine with me. I just don't believe it. My faith has sustained me through very hard times and it is something I can depend upon. To each his own.

First you have to demonstrate that there actually is an intelligent creator. With evidence.
Then you have to demonstrate--based on observable, real-world evidence--how it created.
Then you have to demonstrate that your Bible--and no one elses'--is an accurate depiction of said creator.
Then you have to demonstrate exactly what the "offer" is, what it entails, and what the consequences are...with evidence suypporting those claims.
Remember the keyword: Evidence.
Finally: Since when do you have to throw out sicence to believe in a god at all? There are plenty of scientists of various religions around the world, and few of them have any problem with scientific explanations for natural phenomenoa.

The Bible is not a scientific document, and there isn't any proof that God had anything to do with writing it. Furthermore, man's record is acceptable from a scientific point of view. Since your opening premise is invalid any conclusion you draw from it is also invalid.

Hey--I will offer you a bridge in Brooklyn New York for $500. It's an offer you can't refuse-you'll make money on it. Pay pal will be fine.

Given man's track record of telling ******** stories, is it wise to accept the bible with blind faith?

Gee... Should I accept reality, or give in to irrational dogma?
Decisions are so hard. But science nerds are cuter than fundies, so I'm going to have to go with reality.
