The Blue Board

We now know, very recently even during your parents' lifetimes, that there are over one trillion billion planets in the Universe. The same physical laws and general chemical makeup pervades the entire thing.

Of the eight planets we know much of anything about we are on one and we are very heavily leaning towards the belief that microbial life once lived on Mars. 20 years ago it was different and due to certain sociocultural factors most arent really up to date, but today....in 2013.....faith aside it is obvious we arent alone and we will simply find out more over time. So there are a trillion billion planets and so far life is on 1 of 8 and maybe 2 of 8. hmmmm

Essentially every culture in the history of mankind has had a metamyth and deity that explains where we came from and what we need to do to please _____. You are having the exact same experience the Nordic child had in the 1200s and the aboriginal child had in Africa, etc for eons. There is a large gap between observed and understood phenomena. The gap is filled with your people group's metamyth and deistic storyline. To really think that the kid in Scandinavia who's parents told him that Oden was god was lied to and not "chosen" while your parents told you about jesus, or the cultural movement that undergirds the time and place in which you were born told you about Jesus and that it is actually the Truth is very myopic.

JMO, I have wrestled with faith during my life but to me it's obvious. There is a special nature to life and humanity's higher order functions draw it out of us. Strange things happen, miracles even, etc. But to be that guy who says his metamyth is the actual real one and everyone else's are just simply incorrect is a narrative in and of itself on how easily the human mind puppeteers itself.

To say you dont believe in evolution reveals that you really haven't done much other than ask your Christian friends and mentors. Evolution is proven, its real, its happened in our brief time studying it. It was something the "church" denied and denied and then accepted and now tries to explain. To say you don't believe in evolution is to say you don't believe that the 400 different breeds of dogs you can see around you dont really exist.

I don't want to start a flame war here, but if you do not believe in evolution you are just pretending it doesn't exist. Same with climate change and various other issues that a good percentage (around 30% I believe) do not believe in. Although all scientific data supports conclusions contrary to their beliefs, they deny evolution and climate change.

Follows....lol

Well aside from actually believing in a supreme being based largely on Panbabylonian mythology god is really just the entirety of physical laws that define the universe. So yes, god did cause evolution.

Lol what?

Because the Abrahamic religions came up with Evolution...

lol, ok? If you took the age of earth and used the height of the eiffel tower as the timeline of its existence. The top layer of paint on the very tip top point of the tower would represent human history. The very top, atomic layer of THAT single layer of paint represents the time we've been participating in disciplined scientific research.

It's truly remarkable and startling that we've observed mico-evolution in that time. Extrapolated by any logical measure and it proves macro as well.

A fossil from the Fossil "record"

You said we didn't have anything on record and I wanted to see what you said.

I know people who believe fossils are just naturally occurring rocks. 100% SRS.
They also believe Satan made dinosaurs.

Also another record of climate is attached to this post. Ice core sampling.

You what mate?

Fake, clearly God planted those to test our faith.

You what mate?

Their mastery of engineering, architecture, and science was astounding back then.

Also I like how similar they are to the Codex Hammurabi
