You say that I'll never find what I'm looking for by reading the Bible? I can't just skip the OT and start with the NT surely? If I'm looking for fulfilled prophecy then I've got to read the OT. People that I've spoken to liken the temptation of Abraham with God sacrificing his son. I don't see...

My argument is based on the Bible not being the word of God. My argument is based on the Bible being the word of man. My argument as I will demonstrate, is based on facts and not hearsay. My argument is based on verifiable evidence. I'm only coming to the end of Genesis.... What fun we'll have...

I never stop thinking.

People tell me that the Bible is the word of God. Just for info, I've started at the beginning again.... I've ignored the genocide and got to the temptation of Abraham. It's always played on my mind that a God that is capable of creating a universe needed validation from Abraham. How his...

I'm not judging God's existence by listening to Christians, that would be a little bit silly considering that Christianity isn't the only religion that I could listen to, that would equate to judging if the loch Ness Monster exists by listening to people who say that the Monster exists because...

Well, I think my time here has been well spent. I've seen the extreme views and the more liberal ones. I want to thank you all for your contributions, I need to study more that's for sure and maybe open my mind to things that I've never really considered. A special thank you to @Wrangler for...

Me too!

I'm going to take your advice.

The difference between religions and science is.... Science never stops searching for answers to the big questions... Where did we come from? How did the universe begin? Religions claim to know the answers already.

Atheism isn't a faith. Because there isn't anything on offer after death, and it's not a very nice or comforting thought, that doesn't mean it's an unreasonable position to take.

I've been asking myself that very question. I suppose I was hoping for something different in terms of answers, I thought that people here might have something to say that I'd never heard before. I also thought that I might make a few friends and bust the myth that atheists are bad people who...

Evolutionary Genetics: Studies how genes, DNA sequences, and mutations change within populations to drive adaptation and the formation of new species. Paleontology: Examines prehistoric life and fossils preserved in rock layers to trace macroevolution and the history of life on Earth...

Science challenges itself and tries to break new ground everyday. Many scientific disciplines contribute facts as pieces of a huge jigsaw that is the theory of evolution by natural selection. All of these branches of science are in absolute agreement with eachother.

A theory is a scientific fact, I think that you must be thinking of a hypothesis? A theory in science takes into account all known facts, and is the best current explanation... Gravitational theory explains by facts why the apple falls downward.

Yes I think that existence implies that there must have been a creative force behind it, but I wouldn't necessarily assert that whatever it was still exists.... Maybe it does IDK. I'm of the opinion that if the creative force/God specifically wanted a relationship with mankind it would have...

I could have been a concert pianist but for one cruel twist of fate.... I couldn't play the piano.

My neighbour came banging on my door at 2am! How inconsiderate of him to interrupt my bagpipe lessons.

I asked my butcher if he'd got pig's trotters? he said yes. I said "trot over there and get me some lamb." My grandfather died peacefully in his sleep, unlike his passengers on the bus he was driving.

Yes, she's a very good gardener. I'd like to show some photos in a photo thread, unfortunately I'm a technophobe and wouldn't have a clue how to do it.

It's more for woman.... My wife is vegetarian and loves flowers :)
