oh yeah if this is true what makes us different from every other animal or are we all the same?

wise men once said:

"you and me baby aint nothing but mammals, so lets do it like they do on the discovery channel"

haha

technically yes, we are just another species. we are just the more intelligent species. id beg to say though that there are some monkeys smarter than some humans.......//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Who said we were different from any other animal? We're just another species on this earth. There is no real difference between a human and an ant. We both live, we both die. The end.

Yes, we can think unlike other animals, but does that mean we are "better"?

read further, he says go and make disciples out of men, not to preach and teach beforehand. So before they believe you are to witness after they believe you are to preach and teach. Many mess this order up causing issues like this thread here

Ok again with the twist, lets play your way...go witness...now defend your god when I call him out. Thank you come again...

you are trying to change your argument now. You have implied all along you know something we dont that disproves the theory of evolution. You talk about all these books written about its fallacies, yet you cannot pose these arguments yourself, and veil it in the context of you wont be bothered doing so.

I don't have all the answers of why evolution is an improbable theory. I don't have any special knowledge or trump cards. I have simply said that if you cared to do the research, you would find hundreds of books out there to do the explaining. And again, I'm not going to waste my time writing you a paper because this is an internet argument and will ultimately lead nowhere. If you really cared, you'd go to the library.

And here is the wound in the human mind that requires a crutch that is religion. Who says life has to have a purpose? Why does a rock exist? Why?

I don't say life has to have a purpose, but my God does. you don't have to believe it does, that's your right. but if you have no purpose, would it matter if you killed yourself? I bet it would to all of your loved ones. I mean if people don't matter why do people have funerals and cry? because people DO MATTER and EVERYONE HAS A PURPOSE

If God is real, why doesnt he make himself known? He should come down from "heaven (lol)" and make believers out of us. Why doesnt he? Dont even tell me free-will because thats a BS answer, because we would have free-will to believe him or not.

Answer?

well its already been established that no science can be definitively true so lets get that out the way. I don't know you and how you were raised that's true, that's why I said lets not make this personal. if you feel hurt by your emboldened comment then I apologize. I have known many closed-minded christians in my day and I feel sorry for them. they are lost and they may get to heaven, but never know how to live how God intended. I think them going around preaching to others their lost grasp of God hurts the kingdom instead of helps it. Every Christian should test in their own life to see if God is really real in their lives. it shouldn't be God said so it must be right. NEVER. Everybody should have a Job moment questioning God. God knows we will and expects it.

Science is definitively true. Our understanding of it isnt always definitive.
Im not upset by your comment, you dont know me. The point was since I disagree with you, you seem to feel you have mor experience or a somehow more personal knowledge of god and christianity thn me. Normally i woulnt have bothered pointing that out, but ince you just made the point earlier about people acting righteous, I felt it was a necessary comment. I notice my over all point on the matter was completely ignored by you.

You have already admitted here that nothing can change your mind, yet you cite examples of close minded christians? You are one of those people.

People would cry and be sad because they are family and friends who have an emotional connection.

Would the world come to a halt if I dropped dead right now? No. My family and friends would be sad, but besides that, nothing would be different.

The purpose is to make more of yourself.

You've seen a trial right? in a trial who defends the defendant? it is not the witnesses. The witnesses either support or try to negate the defendant. my job is to support God by sharing what he's done for me personally.

Same thing I thought when I read that post of his.

Sigh. This has degenerated into yet another religion-bashing thread. Happens every time.

/thread

Peace out.

You dont have all the answers? You apparently dont have a single one. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
Write me a paper? How about a sentence? I can state any major scientific theory in one sentence, what is your major malfunction? You realize that by now you've 'written a paper' on why you wont be bothered writing out anything, right? Come on man, you are really transparent. Im not buying any of this for a new york second.

So after you have shared your testimony if I wish to converse and stress my concerns youre going to leave me hanging? Cause you earlier said it was not your job nor were you good at defending him.

while I can't convince you that I am being open-minded I have taken every argument you and everyone else has given. alot of what you say makes sense, I never said it didn't. But just because some makes sense doesn't mean I have to believe it all. Same with religion, some makes sense, but that doesn't mean people need to say "oh then its all true" right off the bat. That'd be foolish and I don't expect that from anyone. I'm not trying to convert any of you into christians, just continuing the great debate. the reason I know i won't be convinced otherwise of whether God is real or not to me is the reason you feel u won't be convinced otherwise of evolution. You've tested it for yourself and it works for you. i've tested God in my heart and He works for me. He gives me joy and peace that nothing in this world can provide. I'll stick with that

So if there wasn't some supreme deity in the sky who created all of us, we would have no reason to feel remorse for a death? You confuse religion with basic human instinct. Humns felt pain, emotional loss, love, hate, apathy, etc... all LONG before your disciple ever descended to Earth.
