Well at least you've given up any pretence of mounting a rational argument. I use to believe that pride was that last to go before the fall.
Where did you learn that?
Now it seems that sermonizing and Biblical quote-mining is the last to go.
Just passing on to you what it says on that subject, take it or leave it, your choice.
So in the beginning Jesus already existed, before He was born of Mary, as the Word. But the Word and God are the same. Therefore Jesus and God both existed in the beginning as the Word. But Jesus re-existed in human form, born of Mary(Virgin Birth, to avoid the two fathers problem). Then Jesus died in human form, and re-existed again in a spiritual form. Since both God and Jesus existed in the beginning, then did God create everything through Jesus(Him)? And, was nothing created except through Jesus? Or, was it through someone else(Him) that God needed to create something, other than by "His word" alone?
Boy, you really have a gift of twisting words!
I think you know exactly whats going on with the biblical quote I gave, but hey, nice try.
How does science validate "God did it all", let alone can validate the existence of a God(s)? It is also delusional to view the world in only black and white. good and evil, or right and wrong. The world and life is far to complex for these false tautologies to be contingent or applicable. People are not all of one, nor all of the other. We are just another species in the animal kingdom. Our human traits are genetically expressed, as they relate to our environment and our social conditioning. Nothing more, nothing less. How do you think we would behave if we could not communicate, and were not self-aware?
Science validates "God did it" from everything in existence, from the cosmos to the micro. Why? Because science has no reasonable answers and cannot validate evolution. But science falls in harmony with creation because it validates creation.
"Our human traits are genetically expressed, as they relate to our environment and our social conditioning. Nothing more, nothing less. How do you think we would behave if we could not communicate, and were not self-aware?"
This is great! Explain to me how meaningless, purposeless matter like yourself, developed self-consciousness? Why are you communicating to me? You should be barking or chirping or grunting! By the way, explain to me how you go from grunting to abstract language? Out of one side of your mouth you claim you are nothing more than animal, and yet you posses self-consciousness that completely separates you from the animals!
Boy oh boy!
Think about it.
I get it that people want to believe that death is just a doorway to a good place, or a bad place. This belief is based only on what we conceptualize as being real. It is not based on what we perceptualize as being real. There is no direct nexus to how we live our lives, how well we serve a master, the level of our moral turpitude, and the existence of an afterlife. You are entitled to believe in the 72 Virgins, Reincarnation, Rebirth, Heaven and Hell, Limbo, Burotu, Cedar Forest, Happy Hunting Grounds, Valhalla, Nirvana, or Moksha. But, they simply can't all be right. But they can certainly all be wrong. This is what we can clearly observe and falsify. When we die entropy and oxidation wins. That's it. No beheading victims have ever returned to tell of their experience in an afterlife. No resurrection have every been verified. Where in space would an afterlife exist? By what energy does it manifest itself? What is the nature of an afterlife?
Well, hold on to that thought, the moment you die, it will all be clear
". No resurrection have every been verified." I assume you mean no one has been brought back from the dead?
If I am right, then death will be nothing more than the cessation of my life. This death has been no stranger to me for 14.8 Billion years. If I am wrong, then my disbelief was entirely based on the absence of objective evidence presented by any religion. If you are right, then you were fortunate to be born in the right country, to the right parents, worshipped the right branch of the right category. Unfortunately, the Billions of other believers were just unlucky by fate and circumstances alone. If you are wrong, then we both share the same fate. But, I won't be disappointed. Tell me, why do we need to die to find out the truth about an afterlife? Do you see anything odd about dying first to receive a reward for being obedient? I certainly do. And, I will not sacrifice the independent nature of my own existence, because of a fear of death. I already know, and so should you. Why would any rational person worship death over life? I just don't see it.
"This death has been no stranger to me for 14.8 Billion years."
Say whaaaaat?
The billions of others have been reached by those missionaries who brought the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ all over the world, and like you, they have a choice to make., accept it or reject it. Jesus paid your penalty for your sin so you wouldn't have to. It's a free gift, and like all free gifts, you can accept it or reject it.
If you are wrong you will suffer an eternity in hell forever! That's not my opinion, but it would seem to me that any reasonable person when confronted with would consider, oh wait, you are just an animal of your surroundings, never mind.
Good luck.
