Wally: I'm sorry Wally but atheists don't worship their own brains, if something is mysterious they try to find out the true cause of it...and they don't call something God for present lack of an explanation.

Exactly. I figure the entire bible stood or fell with the first chapter of Genesis..

Some people give different reasons for not believing in Heaven, Hell, or God, for that matter. Some will point to calamities and say, “A loving God would not allow that to happen.” Others look at portions of the Bible that appear to contradict each other and say, “A God of truth who is all-knowing would not have written this.” Still others insist that they will not believe in anything they cannot see or understand. This seems to make sense until you look more closely at that argument.
That person has let his own mind or intellect become the measure of what is true and what is false. I would venture to say that the same person has never seen a thought wave nor understands how the brain works. Tell me what happens to all those thoughts, memories, and judgments that were processed by the brain, one split second after death? Yet, unbelievers worship at the shrine of their own brain and trust its reliability.
It may sound very intellectual to say, “I only believe in what I see and can understand,” but it is a poor excuse that will not stand before God. Trust Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and be sure of a home in that wonderful place called Heaven. Yes, He is alive and salvation, Heaven and Hell are real!

I want a one on one relationship with Jesus Christ if he was actually here to teach me. Unfortunately after looking for many years, that hasn't happened. I find books interesting and teachings can be good. It's just that majority of readers may not see the words like I do. So if we percieve things differently from the same source is it not then a problem that mankind has faulted minds? If that is not correct which I believe it isn't, wouldn't it be fundementally important that we question everything to constantly evolved the way we learn and think? 8) Something to chew on.

You asked this question 11 hours ago. No I haven't been up all night.
My answer was: -
I presume that this is a reference to the debate between creationism and the Theory of Evolution.
As a Christian who is not a creationist, I suggest you see the bible as a wonderful love story - his love for his creation.
The first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis is a prologue to that story. Read it that way and perhaps be bold enough to use a modern translation.
The two creation stories in the bible tell how everything in the world belongs to God and how it is good. The story of Adam and Eve tells how men and women mess it up by ignoring God.
As individuals we either respond to the love of God and enter the state we call heaven - or deliberately reject God and enter the state we cal Hell. The choice is yours.
Note I didn't say it was a simple story. It is complex and there are things in it which I wish there weren't. There is an underlying strand which is about how God's people learn about God through their experiences. In general they begin by believing that God is responsible for everything but learn gradually that he isn't.

I have a question for this person. How did you arrive at this specific truth? By using your foot?

Yes you can't trust bible. first and foremost issue is that we do not have proper knowledge of "from where bible came from"
