goodlife - // There is abundant evidence that God exists. He is the Creator and with him 1 day is as a thousand years, so for those who say otherwise lets look at some evidence.
In the 17th century, Redi showed that maggots appeared in meat only after flies laid eggs on it. Bacteria were discovered and hailed as examples of spontaneous generation of life, but a century later Spallanzani punctured that balloon. In the century after that Pasteur settled it that “life comes only from life.” This is now unquestionable. Even Darwin accepted this, in the closing sentence of The Origin of Species that life originated by “having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one.”
Man’s gifts of language, logic, creative thinking, music and art, his awareness of time past, present and future, his need for accomplishment and meaning and purpose in his life, his capacities for the qualities of justice, kindness, compassion and love—these set man far beyond any animal. This is not explainable on the basis of evolution, but is attributable to the creation of man ‘in the image and likeness of God.’ (Gen. 1:26, 27) Once again it is creation that fits the facts.
Even The fossil record does not support the theory of evolution. Creation fits its facts.
Roman:1:20 For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable. //
A simple fact that seems to elude you is this -
Every single quote you cut and paste has been thought of, and then written down by a man.
A man like you and I who laughs, cries, eats, sleeps, lives, and dies.
There is no mystery involved.
No a man can write that God is real in the same way that a man can write that the moon is made of green cheese.
But writing it down does not make it a fact - and that situation does not alter, whether it was written yesterday, or two thousand years ago.
It's an idea, by a man, written down. Anyone can do it - I'm doing it now!!
My mother was an alien.
I don't believe she was, but I have thought it, and written it down, so it's as valid in reality as any and all the bible quotes you so assiduously find and paste on here in lieu of actually exchanging ideas with people.
See - it's easy, anyone can do it.
