Christianity requires one to have faith in Gods word .. even when the world says what we believe is impossible .yet Gods word s the only absolute truth .
Some day when God parts the red sea for us to see every thing he said was true Faith in God and his word wont be humiliated like the unbelieving worlds THEIR facts will be humiliated.
I don't see how you think God tricks people by fossils ?
its very evident if you read genesis God created a mature earth..
and fossils would be a part of a mature earth.
the day the trees were created they also would have had many tree rings if you or I were able to cut them with chain saws and count.
I would just bet eve would have had curves to..

What "reality" and what "fantacy" are you talking about?
I agree, God doesn't care about what you know or don't know, He only cares about your heart of passion towards Him and your heart of compassion towards others.
I would like you to be a little more specific about the point you are making....
sorry I doubt Jesus said if you love me ...you will follow only some of my teachings?
that's not in my bible .. Jesus does say however if you love me follow my teaching's..
WHY because every thing Jesus teaches IN THE BIBLE is important to our faith in him .
IF HE DIDNT WANT US TO KNOW ABOUT CREATION IT WOULD NOT BE IN THE BIBLE..
he tells us about Satan and to watch out for him and false profits also.. he wants us to be aware of these things.
its simply not true he only cares about our relation ship with him and others..
God cares a whole lot more about us than just that... he even cares to know how many hairs we have.
if were sad or happy if we have had to much or to little to eat each day..
he even wants to hear from us in prayer even about uneventful things because he cares much more
than just the two things mentioned..

Do you believe that being a Christian requires you to deny reality? That God purposely tricks sinners with fossils and acadamia? Here is some good news for everyone who enjoys thinking....God wants to be in relationship with you - he loves you despite your limitations. He could careless what you know - He is interested in how you relate to Him and your neighbor. Does He care about how powerful you think he is - nope. Does He care about how you feel about the Bible - nope. How about if you draw conclusions about reality based on evidence not covered in the Bible - He could careless. You know how i know? No Suhar, i am not a god - i just know the God of the universe and i believe what He says about His own character. It is impossible to be both Good and Evil. God says He is Good - i believe Him.
Therefore, i enjoy fantasy. but i believe in consistant, repeatable reality. However, one of the differences between the fundamentalist Chistian and myself - i know the difference between reality and fantasy. Materialists are absolutely correct - as far as the evidence leads them; their problem is their limitations - they have a lot in common with Bible literalists.
bill Nye the so called science guy is the one proven to deny reality..
come watch and hear his silly remarks that prove it..
TAKEN FROM BILL NYE'S BIG THINK VIDEO..
it very apparent bill Nye for got to THINK IN THIS VIDEO OF HIS..
