You know... there are bible scholars who can tell you exactly where every word, every line of every translation can be found in every version of the bible, how each text was decended from the previous etc and so on... thing is not every bible scholar believes in God, some just study the bible academically, it's a living to them, makes a few bucks pays the bills... yet they know the bible better than a lot of Christians. And when they die, what irony it will be if they find themselves in hell.

That's a lot very much like this discussion overall. Points and facts and dates and places etc etc etc.. but what does it all mean? does it have any meaning, any purpose at all past existing for it's own sake? Is there a single evo among you who desires to actually know if God is real? Or is this just an argument for argument's sake?

If you need evidence of creation, all you have to do is ask God. Knowing, truly knowing he exists will answer all your questions, he will answer all your questions. Many have gone before and done that, had an experience or 10 with God, and they don't need to ask all these repititious questions you ask, because they know He is real.

It's a lot like swimming. If you have never done it the idea may scare you a lot. You might rationalize that there is no possible way a person, you, could survive jumping into 15 feet of water. But you have to take the leap, a leap of faith, and just do it, just ask.

Here are whole bunches of ideas of different ways others have approached that dilemma.


Personal Experiences with the Living Jesus Christ

That is the most compelling evidence you will get, especially if the testimony becomes your own.

If Neanderthals are simply a different "race" of homo sapien then so are orangutans.


... hmmm... interesting thought and process of equating things. I guess that would then make a vulture a parrot. or maybe even a kangaroo a homosapien with a wallet.
