It is not really about thinking and the so called rules of logic that some like to place onto others.
If you want me to obey your rules of logic I won't,,,,,,,,,,,,, or maybe I can't,,,,,,,,,,, or maybe believing in God and Jesus is just not logical.
We should agree to disagree.
The Bible does not look like a baseless superstition to me, it has history and fulfilled prophecy on it's side.
You work it out.
Skeptics don't seem to care about the Biblical evidence and ignore it.
Design and existence of the universe and life are both evidence, as is the Bible story in...
So my faith in a creator gives me reason to say that there is a "why".
The enlightenment and the "how" question also seems to have been the result of faith in a God who gave laws that could be understood.
I was answering this:
Inuition is like common sense.
It only gets you so far. It can only deal with things you already know and understand. It can't tell you anything about what you don't know and understand.
When improperly applied, it will only result in false beliefs. Like it does in this...
What I am not saying is that since evolution has not been shown to be factual, that therefore God did it. I am saying that since evolution has not been shown to be factual all the way through therefore if you believe that it is factual all the way through, then it is a form of faith that is not...
Yes it's a set of common beliefs that skeptics/atheists have (about the Bible and evolution and other things) that may even be themselves called evidence that there is no God instead of corrolaries that come from being skeptic/atheist, but which when looked at, do not show that the Bible is...
It's a matter of personal perception. You have your world view also and what you see is evidence for what you believe. But in your opinion it seems that if others look at the same evidence and don't see what you see then that means that the evidence that you use is evidence for nothing.
It's theology for dummies like me. I see things sometimes and can see that it points to the existence of a designer God.
Then intelligent people come along and say, "That's ridiculous, that is a logical fallacy or two and you need to be able to explain it or it is irrational and you should stop...
Science has no way of knowing whether God (who btw have evidence for His existence) had direct input into the design and making of life forms.
Do you see that it does not matter about graviton pixies or spaghetti monsters or other things with no evidence to support them, and which really do come...
I like the thread title.
Maybe it is an assumption that one believes in God because there is evidence. For many the truth might be that they believe in God and then notice that there is evidence for God.
If you believe, you believe.
We can run but we can't hide.
The continuing context is that the Jews picked up stones to stone Jesus because He said "I and the Father are one". That is not something that would happen with Jesus just claiming to be in harmony with God.
The problems of being in the form of God and then deciding to not fight it, but to...
You misrepresent the Trinitarian belief in order to make arguments against it. But what else should I expect from someone who, for the sake of their belief, which contradicts the Bible, says trinitarians have changed the Bible in those places.
OR looked at from a different pov, the pre human Jesus was YHWH. That is logical since YHWH says that there is none like Him and the NT tells us that Jesus is exactly like Him and also tells us that He inherits the name YHWH and that various OT scriptures which are about YHWH are speaking about...
Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God......
Heb 1:1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the...
So I believe they experienced something.
Are you saying that people give testimony about aliens, bigfoot etc and actually know what aliens and bigfoot etc look like etc or assuming they have the experience, it may not have anything to do with aliens etc.
OK just to keep you happy, if God...
No natural processes explain the existence of the universe or life. It is all in the imagination of people who want to believe those things.
Show me where science has shown the existence of the universe or life, except for things in your head.
A delusion is similar to something that does not...
False. The Bible is evidence of God and nature in all it's wonder and grandeur is evidence of God.
Science cannot use that sort of evidence or even if miracles happen through prayer.
Science has to ignore any hypothesis that God was involved unless the evidence is such that it can be tested...
Science does not claim that anything designed and created itself, that would imply that nature was alive. Science uses natural laws and processes. But I use different language than science and thought that people might be able to see that without any need to attack me or what I said. sigh. but...
