None of the BullShlt choices listed, the mangy dog that I am, when my heart stops beating, I am dead, it's over, nothing else, just like a regular dog, to believe in an afterlife is sorcery/witchcraft etc, etc!
Either the world is a special creation made by God, whatever that is, or the world and life evolved through natural processes. If one is true the other must be false. Both cannot be true.
Or the world and life evolved through natural processes set in motion by the Creator.
In which case God is irrelevant to the evolution of life and whatever happens in the world. Which is the same as no God at all.
For sure. The evolutionists say the big bang caused the first spark of life and that progressed to us.
This is the second time you posted this drivel.
You're stupid.
The big bang happened 13,800,000,000 billion years ago. Life started about 10,000,000,000 years later. That's a 10 billion year difference, for those who are mathematically challenged.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

As is described very clearly in Genesis, Chapter 1, reproduced by me above.
Genesis describes special creation in six literal days, mornings evenings, etc, not natural evolution over billions of years. Two entirely different things.

What or who was god. What or where did he come from or begin. Higher power or benevolent creator or combo of both. Science and Faith intertwined? Faith and Science intertwined? Soul have an afterlife? Near death experiences documented. We already know evil exist thruout history and now. That has shown itself plenty of times seen and felt. Undeniable...
Good needs ta show up and prove itself outside of faith. Something tangible you can see and feel. Cant deny.....

If the world and life on this earth are God's creation, and evolution was a very clever way that God used to achieve His creative objectives, that hardly makes Him “irrelevant to the evolution of life and whatever happens in the world”. And it most certainly is not “the same as no God at all”.
Mid 90s is when I got boring.... Stopped, quit.... don’t i could enjoy a trip these days.! Lol!
Every once in awhile . Get the flutter side vision, little feeling of disconnected euphoria, but totally in control and know it. 30 45 second flashback. 3 4 6 9 yrs once in awhile. Never can tell.
Undetectable and free.
Lol!!! Has happened in some strange situations. Helicoptor rides. Big training meetings. Dean of a college office. Bayonet assualt course. Totally in control functioning per the situation. IIRC was with slumlord hunting during the last one. Think he was jealous cause I let him know I was riding a freebie.

I take it you believe in a 6000 year old universe, then. How do you explain the geologic column and radiometric dating?
You literalists have painted yourselves into a corner with that position.

Creative objectives? What may they be? The dinosaurs didn't work out?
“As faith is a belief held without the support of evidence it is a position that needs constant reinforcement, church, fellowship, reading selected material, etc. So if someone questions the faith, they are a threat to the faith.”
You clearly state that faith is a belief held without the support of evidence. I then quoted Hebrews 11:1….”“.... faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....”
Faith like I am describing is not a belief held without the support of evidence. Let me delve into that.
See John 14:23…” Jesus replied, If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”
Let me repeat…. “…we will make our home with him.”
See also, John 15:3…. “Remain in me and I will remain in you.”
When God is in you, when the Holy Spirit witnesses to your inner being, there is no doubt about it. This is not blind faith at all. It is belief based on a living and active relationship with God Himself.
So, how does this come about? The thief on the cross …. Luke 23…..knew he was a criminal and only a few crucial words are spoken…”Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. He replied to him, ‘Amen I say to you today you will be with me in Paradise.”
There is another example….Luke 18 ….. the Pharisee prayed but prayed out of pride…. then….the tax collector prayed….”But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ (Jesus then said…) I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God…..”
So, it is as simple as that…. here it is re-phrased: “Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
Then, God comes into your inner being and then, YOU KNOW.
Circular reasoning is a logical fallacy, not evidence.
Oh, it is indeed evidence. Not proof for you, but testimony. Testimony. Think about it. Testimony is accepted in courts of law.
It is also an explanation for the origin of faith.
Heard a story once about a man blind from birth who denied the existence of light because he had never seen it, never felt it and he rejected the testimony of the sighted people around him.
Do we accept testimony in a court of law from Anonymous sources?
