    every time u look at the color red it is red, doesnt change

    ok...so god created the world and all its creatures in seven days blah blah
    what happened to the dinosaurs? there is PROOF they were here millions of years ago, but something wiped out every single one of them , then all of a sudden at a random interval in time a guy wrote the bible explaining everything that supposedly happened creating the world and such. where did he receive his facts? did god just beam down one day and say hey guy this happened write it down and tell everyone about it

    that is the problem with religion you can never prove that god is there
    i can prove the sun is there i can prove we have gravity i can prove the color red is red

    and answer me this question if god created us then who created god?

    where does he fit in to this whole scheme?

    people say god has to be there, or how else would we be here, if god is real someone would have had to of created him

    again christians prove me wrong, i want to be wrong

    I never said anything about God creating the world in seven days. I also think you should learn about the bible before you assume it was written by some guy. The bible was not written by some guy and I am not arguing the Bible. Just the complete randomness of that statement.

    You need to separate religion from God, because not all religions believe in a God. There is a difference.

    If your questions are about religion then you can't get an answer and even if you did, whoever gave it to you cannot prove their answer? Creation accounts are about religion. They are just as grounded in faith and no good proof as science. With your same series of questions someone could say How was the earth created? The big bang (which just like creation theories, is completely excepted in the scientific communities)? Well who set the Big band off? Who can give us proof that this is happening? Where does life come from? A bolt of electricity? Well why can't that be reproduced in a lab? None of these questions can be answered with 100% certainty, therefore there is always going to be a faith aspect of science, just like religion.


    Seeing as how this thread is about believing in God (which doesn't have to do with religion because there are people who believe in God and don't involve themselves in any religion), you will have to read what i have already written to see WHY I believe in God and the reasons I give that are not because of the bible or because someone told me so.

    Even in science the discussion for big bang theorists states that all matter that is around now has been in existence, where does it come from? Who put it there? Why did it all of a sudden start moving around and reacting with itself? This is why some schools are teaching intelligent design along side things like evolution and big bang theory, because our universe has properties to it that go beyond what we can even try to understand. But seeing as how most people don't even read what is previously posted I wouldn't expect you to go back and make arguments against my points either.

    Many parts of christianity, including the "son of god" are astrological personifications..

    The reason why there are os many different versions of the bible is because ppl interpret the meanings of the bible differently. The bible is very vague, and shouldn't be taken seriously, but if it helps you sleep at night to each his own

    in many cases I agree with this. I have come across faiths that use distorted versions of the bible as well, but that is why its important for people to understand the bible based on the cultural history around it and the original languages. There are resources out there that people who want to study the bible can use to get the original greek and hebrew that all versions of the bible should be translated from. Sadly there are people out there who just paraphrase the texts and we also have a problem with our language not being as definitive as greek or hebrew. For instance when we write the word love its just love. They have several different words that describe specific types of love and our language doesn't do that so there are many specific meanings that get lost in translation.
