    I am agnostic sir, so therefore I have no faith in something that is not there. I went to a christian private school for 10 years and my parents dragged me to church for years. So I doubt that a highschool professor brainwashed me with evolution. If you or anyone else can really prove the existance of God, I am all ears. But we all know the truth, no one can prove that. Except god himself, and either he is not up to the task or he is not there. I choose the later of the two !!!!

    Luke 17

    26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
    27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
    28 Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
    29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:
    30 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed.
    31 In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.
    32 Remember Lot's wife.
    33 Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
    34 I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
    35 There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
    36 There shall be two men in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

    Not to be sarcastic or anything but try this. Pray that God will give you wisdom and understanding. The Bible says if you ask it will be given. You have nothing to loose.

    I have had my doubts and I have studied science like a fein. I have thousands of scientific and evolution belief documents and books mostly cause I am very into the prehistoric world but in the past I had alot more doubt about my faith but the more I study the stronger my faith grows.

    I dont think anyone should take a chance on believing in something that could be so importantant without knowing it to the fullest. We all owe it to ourselves, our family and our neighbors to not be lazy but to understand both sides with tremendoes effort.

    Yes sir to me its the best and most logical. I also believe it is the first religion do to the antiquity of the belief in the coming Messiah.

    Yes I do! Christianity is the only religion that does teach that good works is the main factor that gets one to heaven.

    I am not saying 100% that god doesn't exist. After all, how could I be sure ??? The 2 things that I am saying though, is that in my opinion god 99.5% doesn't exist and if he does exist, I want nothing to do with him !!!!

    its because
    God is a boxing fan, and ultimately it is He who decides who wins and who dies.

    I say people are free to worship whatever god they find most appealing- usually the god their parents taught them to.
    As far as the appropriateness of thanking god for victory- I see nothing wrong with it, after all, a fighter is not saying, "Thank you for giving me the victory, and denying the loser." anymore than he would be saying "Thanks dad for getting in the ring and fighting for me." Instead, what he's saying is, thank you for giving me this oppurtunity and being there for me.

    On the topic of the Bible, it is just as crazy, pornographic, hypocritical, violent and sickening as most religious texts, so there's no point arguing whether or not it should be taken literally.
    And I'll take evolution any day over a fairy tale made up by a group of fanatical Jewish dissenters.

    there are good Christians that believe the earth is millions or billions of years old but I think the scientific evidence favors a young earth.

    For example, there have been at least five dinosaur species found with soft tissue, protiens and genetic material has also been found. no scientist would have ever believed that this was possible but now many are trying deperatly to rationalize it

    It wasn't to terribly long ago that evolutionary scientists were promoting the idea that mammalian megafaunas such as Wooley Mammoths lived millions of years before humans until they begain finding arrow points embedded in bones.

    I am convinced after working with many professors that they usually would and have hid any evidence contrary to evolutionary dogma--and then rationalize their actions by calling it some sort of strata contamination whos media exposure would only confuse the masses.

    You have confused a biblical history of what has happened with what is biblically condoned.

    You also fail to see the congruity and supernaturaly accurate prophacy of these many Jewish fanatics.

    If I lost a fight, and the other guy thanked God helping him win the fight, I would spend the rest of my life talking about how I would have destroyed that man had God not interfered. How would he argue that? In every interview I would talk about how the man even admitted that he only one because God was on his side, and helped him win. I would also send him a contract with a "No interference by God" stipulation.
