    I bet you've never spent a minute of researching the the Bible, its preservation, textual criticism, manuscript evidence we have (25,000+) to compare and how late they are dated, the Historical Method and archaeological and scientific evidence, much less read it. The answers are out there to those who have an open mind and heart. But remember, no amount of logic or argument can save someone, only the grace of God and a changed spirit can. I hope you'll seek guidance from the Lord.

    Matter is being created in that image from the immaterial.

    what ever blows your skirt up. I dont care one way or the other what others believe, just tired of troll posts that are used to show how superior some believe they are..

    try this tack..at the moment of death, there is a measurable loss of weight that some believe to be the soul..if there is no soul, are all of those who have had paranormal experiences delusional?

    God would eventually grow tired of this and smite all of the TripTangos.

    Once again, this is a theory with no empirical evidence! Is the immaterial being created from nothing? God Himself is immaterial! This doesn't do anything to provide answers for how the universe can create itself from nothing.

    all of those egyptians worshiping their gods thought they had it all figured out too, and maybe they did

    not saying you are wrong, just saying the chances are really really really really really really really really really really really really high that you are wrong

    truth is, everyone has their own god, just like you and mags disagree on basic christianity... some religions just have better marketing

    Yes, he absolutely would. Which means that the fact that he hasn't yet proves that there is no God.

    QED MUTHAFUCKAAAAAAAAS!!!

    yes, they are delusional. Let me counter you with our buddy Mags! Mags please chime in about an experience you had that felt extremely vivid and real while on a hallucinogen. Do you think Mags could tell the difference between shrooms and a near death experience?

    I don't think this is right. Matter is not converted to energy in an atomic explosion. The strong force that binds the nucleus together is released when splitting the atom into two other elements that weigh the same as the original. And a chain reaction is required to make a really big boom.

    Yes you have that right. There are many that disagree on theories from the same faith; just like those in atheism that disagree with theories on the big bang, multi-verse, dark matter, etc.

    And there is a much higher chance IMO that there is a creator than that a mass (bound by space and time) has always existed. Also, that matter can be created from non-matter; which is impossible with modern science.

    truth is truth regardless if someone chooses to believe it or not, remember that. I told you there's evidence and if you have any respect for truth you will examine it with an open mind and give your own verdict. But based on the Christian beliefs, faith is the key to salvation, so knowing all the facts in the world won't save you. Only God can. Hopefully He can use something to knock down some barriers if you are sincerely seeking.

    Nope, he has only growled and snapped at us when he's sleepy and doesn't like us moving him or cutting his toenails. At which we stop briefly or put him in a time-out.
