Still don't believe in evolution? Try this!

[Jaymz]

Nothing that can be proven. But to me that's the point. Now that we are here and our memories of Him are gone and its unprovable what will we do?

It's all a tests. Those that didn't get the chance to embrace him here will get their chance on the other side.

I don't know how old you are but that sounds exactly like myself after 22 years of brainwashing. If you grow up being told one thing, how are you supposed to know anything else?
Everyone does a soul search to find soemthing to believe in at some point, I've just come to my own truth and logical conclusion. Especially with the world wide spread of information over the internet(Obviously discerne the facts from fiction yourself) there is a lot in common with all religions. Christ wasn't a christian, Buddah wasn't a Buddist, all of these profits tought mostely one thing. Love. So, love became my religion. The closest thing I can "whitness" and "testify" to, and is also recently being proven true by science is meditation. You can hardwire your brain to be positive, loving and compassionate. Meditation has been involved and will help with any religious beliefs. It has many benifits, both spiritually and physically.

As you suggest for yours, try it. I tried the Christian thing for 22 years and still felt lost.

Start talking to Him and see what happens.

was forced to pray and do all other silly catholic things when was a kid.... felt like an idiot. No God was ever talking back to me.

At least some of that meditation time should be spent on proofreading your posts.

 

[Jaymz]

Way, way too lazy. Actually I'm just not too concerned. Everyone can understand, I'm not gonna take another 5-10m proofreading. This isn't English 1020!!

Kind of reminds me of this lovely bit from Robert Ingersoll:

Justice is the only worship.
Love is the only priest.
Ignorance is the only slavery.
Happiness is the only good.
The time to be happy is now,
The place to be happy is here,
The way to be happy is to make others so.

Honest question. What did you expect? To hear a voice? An overwhelming feeling.


@ Jaymz. I am mid 30s and I have not been active in any religion for 10+ years.

I have answers to all this but my balls hurt and I'm on meds that make me not give a ****


So don't believe. **** it. I don't care.

Richard Dawkins the famous evolutionist admits to "intelligent design"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoncJBrrdQ8

LOL he did not admit to anything, just accepted that there is a possibility that higher intelligence contributed to origins of life on Earth. Just another theory which can't be dismissed or proven so far.

I love when religious people make an appeal to authority. "Darwin denied his theory on his death bed." "Einstein believed in God." And so forth.

That may be how YOU think, but it doesn't apply to us. You might care to hear what a prophet or theologian thinks about science or what have you. But to us, Darwin and others are just people. Their theories are accepted not because we believe they have some sort of hotline to the divine. So even if Dawkins called a conference call and admitted to having been hired by evil Satanists trying to undermine the Christian faith in order to bring about the apocalypse, it would still mean nothing to us. We think evolution is true because 150 years of science produced millions of pieces of evidence to support the hypothesis, and anyone can go ahead and evaluate that evidence for themselves.

Those who don't "believe" in evolution won't be persuaded by evidence. If mountains of evidence across so many disciplines fail to impress them, another experiment certainly won't.

....those who don't believe in "creation" won't be persuaded by evidence. If mountains of evidence fails to impress them.....then another unique creature from the animal kingdom.....certainly won't!

There are many varieties of fish all with different and unique functions! Some 500 varieties of electric fish have batteries. Many fish have lights: flashlight fish, anglerfish, lantern fish, viperfish and constellation fish.....and humans inventors are constantly attempting to copy the complex abilities of living creatures! Does it seem reasonable to believe that they happened by chance alone? Are these not the kind of intricate designs that experience teaches can only be the product of a brilliant designer? Do you really think that chance alone could create what it later took gifted men to copy?

All this copying from animals by humans is reminiscent of what the Bible suggests: “Ask the very beasts, and they will teach you; ask the wild birds—they will tell you; crawling creatures will instruct you, fish in the sea will inform you.”—Job 12:7, 8, Moffatt.

Not chance

.Do you really think that chance alone could create what it later took gifted men to copy?
.

I hope you realize that evolution is the opposite of chance. It is natural selection. Which means that the fittest within a population survives, because it fundamentally has an advantage to survive. There is no roulette wheel spinning in the savannah saying "you, elephant with the smaller ears, your number is up, now die!"

Negative! The only thing 150 years of science has proven is that.....the idea that man is the product of "evolution" is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated by the human mind! And by the way, there are millions of creatures who's unique abilities and unique features.......which have been evaluated by thousands of biologist and scientists.....scream special design by a marvelous designer!
