Evidence for God from Science

These passages should help a bit: Ezekiel 18:23— Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live? Ezekiel 18:32— For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and liv...

Did you miss my sarcasm? Obviously if the Quran is apart of Islam, it is silly to discard certain portion of it for vilification of Muslims. To take up your example it would be like saying certain portions of Scripture Christians abide by should be removed because it vilifies Christianity.

Kurieuo.

I'd disagree, and believe such things point to God. The inflationary theory for example points to God seeing as it says all space and time had a beginning. It sounds as though the person is just beginning to expand his knowledge on such issues since the inflationary big bang theory does indeed predi...

You are correct to point out the recieving of wives isn't necessarily found in the Quran, while the killing of blasphemers can be found. The general point I was driving at though is that violence and forced conversion is something that can be found in the Quran. So I see it as wrong for someone to b...

Deb, I've visited a seminar by Daniel Scot, another in Australia accused of vilification ( http://jmm.aaa.net.au/articles/10311.htm ). I can tell you that far from any sort of hate, there was much love for Muslims at the seminar. I find it amusing that Scot (former Muslim) was accused of vilificatio...

Examples of copycat? Examples of additions? The NT aside, the doctrine central to Christianity is Christ's death and resurrection. Now there is ample historical evidence for the Jesus' death and burial, the tomb being empty, people seeing Jesus alive after His death. Such evidence comes from source...

I can see how the OT can be trusted more because pagans don't have that but it just seems like the NT was a copycat of pagan roots and the church fathers of that day added to the NT to make it read more elaborate than anything else of pagan literature. It would have been better if God just started ...

It is also inappropriate, I think, to attack someone's religion on a message board, ask them to respond and then criticize them for even being there in the first place. I happened across this board by chance, as did others I'm sure. My response was, and I maintain this, not an attack at all but per...

See this is wear Calvinism goes too far in its total depravity approach I do happen to agree with Calvinism on a lot of things! Total depravity is fundamental to my relationship with God, (and it works out very nicely that way! Wouldn't have it any other way, and boy would it be hard for God to wor...

We have absolutely no good in us before salvation that would enable us to choose God. That's not completely true. I mean, it is true that we have no good in us of our own before Salvation, but that's not the same as saying we have no good in us at all. See this is wear Calvinism goes too far in its...

Everything around us may have been designed. (I happen to think so.) But if ID is to be considered as a science, there needs to be an experimental means to determine this. How does one do this? Well first thing to do is to collects points of observations that exhibit intelligence. The science itsel...

I think it certainly valid that we shouldn't rule out schizophrenia as an option, but then I think we'd see a more extreme circumstances here, and certainly more consistency to hearing voices. For me I wouldn't even call it a voice, but it rather came all at once. Now there is something I'd like to ...

Kurieuo, you fail to look at the context of those Romans verses! And he was quite obviously not being hypothetical in the sense that you meant. He was in the passage I was dealing with, which was just after the portion that deals with Pharaoh (which is the only part I was focusing on). 11Yet, befor...

Well taking Adam and Eve as an example, they knew God in a much more personal way before their sins. God had revealed Himself to them, but the way He was revealed wasn't entirely direct and immediate. What I meant by "direct" and "immediate" is that at every point of your conscio...

Well I was under the impression from what the conclusion the creation activities of Genesis 1, that everything was created in a day. ;) Genesis 2:4—" These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens &qu...
