(For Life;55443) I see that you have already come to your own conclusion and no amount of words will cause you to change your mind. I honestly don't see how you could say that the evolutionary theory trumps God in both explanation and evidence. What in nature couldn't be explained by a...

(For Life;55438) Are you familiar with Occam's Razor? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_RazorIt basically says given two theories the simplest one is probably correct. Wouldn't believing in God and God's Word be much more simple than believing in man's theory of evolution? Can you imagine...

(univac;55235) He created the material universe for the purpose of trust. What do you mean by this?

Well"] function. This statement is arrogant, fearmongering, and most of all unconvincing. As a word of personal advice if you're hoping to convert anyone in the future, I'd shy away from these tactics. They're really just distasteful.

(univac;55088) As a believer in God through Christ Jesus ,I don't see death as bad but sad, for those whom grief and for those dead who burry their dead. I find that to be morally offensive. The only bad thing about death is the grief it causes others? There's nothing bad about their being...
