"why atheism is a burden not a benefit, page-58

Andrew respect your educated post and can't provide a lengthy post as I am flat out at the moment.

But your kidding yourself if you believe science can prove everything, miracles happen each and every day of all kinds and in many fields that cannot be explained by logical or scientific explanation. How much do you know about the bible? Have you ever read it?

"Evolution by natural selection is arguably the most remarkable natural phenomena imaginable, and is similarly arguably the most highly supported by scientific evidence. Yet people choose, against all reason and against all the evidence, to believe that it is not true: Either because they don't understand it fully, or because it is contrary to what they WANT to believe. I can't help but find this saddening."

You are saddened by the fact that people discredit the evolution theory without understanding it as you say, well how much do you know about christ? if nothing well then you are basing your argument on knowing one side of the story.

"Change their definition of God. The same person will, variably, argue that god is just a deistic energy holding the universe together, or that he's the force that set the universe in motion, or that he set down biblical laws, or that he made the universe 10000 years ago in 6 days and the bible is literal truth, or that some parts of the bible are literal and others aren't, or that god isn't actually a being, but a sense of human belonging to a greater power, etc. etc. ad infinitum, until they..."

Don't know who you asked to give you this response,Ok God is the "I am", the first and the last, the beginning and the end. The alpha and the omega. But more importantly God is love, God is in our hearts, He is our intuition, yet He is a spirit, He is everywhere. The Father in heaven, The son in the flesh and the Holy Spirit. God created us in his image out of dust.

Good luck in your search for the truth if you truly are searching.
