I have a question for all of you believers out there...
If there are so many different reilgions, then how do you know which is true (please dont answer with 'faith')? If there were some 'higher-power' that everybody knew was true why wouldnt the whole world become that religion, or believe in them? I think that the whole Bible, God, Higher Power deal is fake. There was once this man who traveled to Africa (around the 1400's before any European had ever been there) and wrote a book about how there are people there that had faces in there chests, necks 5 feet tall, etc. Everybody believed it. How do you know the Bible deal isnt like this? I am pretty sure there is no proof that this stuff is real... so please explain it to me. And don't say faith because some people who dont believe, or have 'faith', dont think that there is a higher power and it is just a bunch of... fake stuff. |

QUOTE(SkaironFrenzy @ Dec 12 2004, 4:49 PM) There are so many reasons in this world (or universe) that there is some kind of higher power or creator. There are proofs out there that there is a God/Creator… Christian God or Muslim God… it doesn’t matter. For example, the distance from the Earth to the sun… if we were any further we would go into an ice age…. So how can u explain that the ‘big bang theory” supposedly place our world in the right distance stable enough for life? Other example is the human body, if you look at the complexity of the human body, do u think that evolution can create such a wonderful and complex life form? So yea I duno if this answers your topic… (sorry if it was off topic) the distance from the sun isn't almighty important... in the northern hemisphere the earth is farther from the sun in the summer. the big bang will never be proven. the human body is complex... but there is an explination about how it got formed. (yes evolution by natural selection) the bible was written by people interperating the words of jesus. the people we know to be human. do not people lie? could not the bible have lies? the king james version of the bible is riddled with politics... becuase king james commisioned it. you're reading a summary of a summary of a summary... kinda like the game telephone how do you know whether the verses you might be quoting aren't added by someone along the line? |
