Those are strong statements from the article. Do they provide evidence of any kind? How about a simulation model on the computer? It told us quite a bit, but didn't show us anything. I wouldn't hold much next to it.

That depends. If by "Heaven", we mean the realm that Angels dwell, then I think it is a different dimension. It would explain there ability to travel between realms. If we are talking about the new earth (the place where we will dwell when we are resurrected), then I don't think so. I am not...

There was a man who conducted dark rituals in England a few hundred years ago...i cant quite remember his name, but I can dig that up tomorrow when I have more time. anyways, this man was working from a command given to him by the English royalty. His job was to dictate these rituals l, and...

It's one thing to be devils advocate, and it's another to be logically absurd. The moral argument is one of the best arguments Christians have. Atheists have decent arguments in some areas, don't get me wrong. But the objections to the moral argument are along the lines of denying gravity.

Remember: We experience gravity. It exists. Saying it doesn't exist does not disprove gravity. Those who deny gravity are willingly ignorant, regardless of there explanation. Because the beautiful, like the good cannot be scientifically proven. Show me how science tells us how morality ought...

You have run into the same problem as Sam Harris. 1. Good, I have more respect for Atheists who admit the obvious, than ones who stay willingly ignorant. 2. Science can tell us how the world is, but not how it ought to be. People like Lawrence Krauss argue this, and literally get dismantled...

I think people are getting Objective morals confused with Subjective morals. Objective morals are binding regardless of opinion. Subjective morals are not. If our society decided that murder is legal, it still doesn't make it OKAY. Even if Hitler beat us in WWII, objective morals would still...

Cool stuff. Looking forward to see if a programmer can plug this in to a simulation and show how the data collaborates. It should work, they are working with some pretty hard data.

No doubt in my mind. I bet he could leave the church scene right now and never have to work a day in his life.

It's not like he can't afford it.

Such is the way of the Christian. We aren't liked much in this world. That's because we don't belong to it. It sounds like you have a lot of built up resentment/hatred towards what has happened to you. My suggestion? You need to let it all go. It sounds cliche', but it is true. Anger can do a...

He is capable of anything, but that is not what he tells us that he did. The common understanding of the complexity of the cell (at that time period) was far off from reality. Now we know that irreducible You can get time factors a number of ways. With a viable theory, we should be able to...

Right, I saw what you were saying. I was trying to show that the specific theory doesn't suggest that there is a guidance of any kind. A lot of scientists are on record saying that it is a random process. Which is what is in our school textbooks. If it isn't random, and guided, it is plausible...

[edit by Moderator] Isn't that the truth. There are those on this very board who literally deny what the bible says. I would say its more probably for hell to freeze over until those people accept certain things. MilkDrops: If you would again like to have a more in-depth discussion about...

He would have to choose which one was most fit. He would even have to choose each variation, and each mutation. Clearly, they believed the cell was not that complex. It isn't made up variables. Seeing as we have never observed any of these complex systems ever progress in the order they...

Please read what I said carefully. If God guides the process, it isn't Darwinian Evolution. That is, there would be no random mutations. That's because it would be guided. That option is very plausible. Random variation leading to everything we see today is not (Darwinian evolution). Just the...

Not a problem. We all believe we have a spirit. Where did Jesus ever support evolution? If we can trust Jesus, he quoted from Genesis as it was a literal fact. "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a...

You must meet the basic requirements I specified above to be a Christian. That is the basic track needed to achieve eternal life. As a Christian, I believe that God is powerful enough to preserve his word among various translations. We weren't surprised when they found that our modern...

No. What makes me a Christian is my faith in Jesus Christ. That he lived a perfect life, died for our sins, and rose again. Any other belief (or a skewed version of Jesus) would void the classification of being a Christian. Yes, we can. God has given us the instruction to determine whether or...

The bold is a little bit misleading. A Christian believes that Jesus is the Messiah, that he died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and that he is the only way to heaven. If you don't at least believe this, you aren't a Christian. I can believe Jesus resurrected in the form of a...
