The God of science a spiritual innocent man named earth God as planets don't talk.First advice I find is: God named this planet Earth as per Genesis 1:10.
ALL the rest of the planets are named by people.

Religions history was first medical. It was in fact the healer medical profession that implemented healing buildings.What reasons are there to support the claim that religion is for control?
Money is everywhere.You don't see poor religious leaders
When my uncle died the priest said he heard Mr. K. was a pius man, then the word "BUT" entered his speech.
That "BUT" was to buy prayers to get him out of purgatory.
How odd since Romans 6:7, 23 says the dead are acquitted of their sins.
Yes, I have.You don't see poor religious leaders
If you could make a comparable demonstration of even one example of objective evidence for any of your claims, your criticism might be a little less ironic.
You mean other than the endless rules, that they always try and force on people?What reasons are there to support the claim that religion is for control?
The endless rules for a start.
I find Paul was drawing back to the penalty Adam paid (Genesis 2:17), thus reasoning that the one who has died (Romans 6:7) has been acquitted from sin because by means of one's death he has paid the full penalty price for sin.I understand little differently that Romans 6, but, I agree, the idea of purgatory is not Biblical.
Jesus simply gave a NEW commandment as found at John 13:34-35 to love others as he loved others.You mean other than the endless rules, that they always try and force on people?
I find there were Not endless rules at Genesis 2:17, just one.You mean other than the endless rules, that they always try and force on people?
Taking your exaggeration into consideration, yes, besides the moral rules they teach us.You mean other than the endless rules, that they always try and force on people?
Jesus simply gave a NEW commandment as found at John 13:34-35 to love others as he loved others.
In other words, like Jesus we are now to love neighbor MORE than self, more than the Golden Rule of Leviticus 19:18.

Yes, sins can be forgive without death; see Matthew 25:31-33; Matthew 25:37I think one of the problems of that is, the sins are forgiven by the words Jesus said. Jesus died because of the words and that is why it can be seen as that he died for our sins. But I think it is only symbolically, because sins were and can be forgiven without death as shown in these:
The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, "Why are you reasoning so in your hearts? Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you;' or to say, 'Arise and walk?' But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" (he said to the paralyzed man), "I tell you, arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house." Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
Luke 5:21-25
Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever's sins you retain, they have been retained."
John 20:23
A man born as a human baby never saved anyone. All humans die.I find Paul was drawing back to the penalty Adam paid (Genesis 2:17), thus reasoning that the one who has died (Romans 6:7) has been acquitted from sin because by means of one's death he has paid the full penalty price for sin.
As with Adam: No post-mortem penalty, No double jeopardy for Adam. So, as Paul wrote at Romans 6:23 when a person dies his sinful record no longer stands against that person. If it were Not for Jesus' unselfish sacrifice the person would never live again. Once resurrected a person's sins would Not be re-examined.
His past sins does Not mean further punishment past death. Death being the complete or full price that sin pays.
ALL sin of course is wicked, but that does Not mean all sinners are wicked - Acts of the Apostles 24:15 .
ALL sinners are weak in some way and that is why genuine repenting is necessary, so what a person does after they are resurrected will determine wickedness or not - Psalms 92:7; Psalms 104:35; 2 Peter 3:9

Until Jesus' coming 'Glory Time' we die because: we can't stop sinning.
If we could stop sinning we would Not die.
