I will transfer $100 to your PayPal account if you can tell me the person who wrote the Bible you read. $100! PM me with the answer. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
And $100 more if you can tell me who started the Christian religion. [hint] it was one person, and his name WAS NOT Jesus [hint].

The one thing that can be proven about the Bible is that it's way too **** long. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

to answer your first question. usephious of ceseria (spelling is probably wrong) is the person responsible for compiling the first Christian bible(or cannon as it was called in those days)
the apostles/disciples were the ones to start a "church" they traveled the known world spreading the gospel, and churches sprang up from there. but if you are wanting to know who specifically organized the religion, basically it was the roman emperor Constantine. he started the the "council of Nicaea" which was a meeting of all the bishops of the churches at the time and came up with the Nicaean Creed which spelled out the basics of the Christian beliefs. my pay pal is mikeoftulsa@yahoo.com i will expect my money shortly.

where is my money?

sin has destroyed and tarnished our planet...

Depends on what you consider "sins". I don't know that littering or pollution is a "sin", but it's certainly tarnished the planet as well.

Regardless, sin certainly hasn't reorganized the universe.

and also you don't think that earths natural beauty is breathtaking?

Sure, it's beautiful. But so is a painting. And depending on your love affair with art, one could potentially argue that an artist's hand is capable of more beauty than we've witnessed from god's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Waterfalls, mountains beaches...isent that one reason why millions of people spend money on traveling?

Waterfalls, mountains and beaches are certainly a fun get-a-way for our species....but you also have to remember that the travelings of 99.999999% of the human race is completely limited to within this planet. What else are we supposed to do? We are making the best with what we currently have. Commercial space flight is going to be coming soon for the elite.....waterfalls, mountains and beaches are going to be taking a back seat in the arena of awe-inspiring destinations.

Also, those features are not limited to our planet. We do not, for example, have the tallest mountain in the solar system. We're his favored creation.....yet he couldn't even give us the tallest fucking mountain !?

We have yet to discover something as amazing and complex as our planet.

Debatable. I'd venture to say that a black hole is rather amazing and complex, for example. The Big Bang and ensuing inflation was rather amazing and complex. And we've barely began discovering other worlds that exist outside of our solar system. Those could be far more amazing and complex than our planet.

That and you sort of missed the point. For centuries it was thought that the Earth was the center of the universe. The sun and all other planets orbited the Earth. Why? Well, where else would God place his favored species? It was only logical (for the time) to think that there was no other place a species or world as important as ours (in god's eyes) would be located. We are the most important, thus we must certainly be the center of everything. But, as it turns out......we're not.

If we are his special creation....why aren't we the center of the universe? Why aren't we the only planet? Why doesn't the sun and planets orbit us? If we are so special to the supreme being, the creator of all things......why is our place in the universe so uninspired, random and mundane?

OMG squeakertins, that is so daam easy to answer!! we don't know

but, i would hardly call our place in the universe uninspired and mundane. random, maybe, depending on who's looking at it.

It's so strange how before it's been proven scientifically we (the religious fanatics) were so sure about that "fact". But as soon as science proves that it's false, it's back to "we don't know"

And isn't it sad how religion tried to silence Galaleio(sp?) because he was trying to prove them wrong? That's just sad //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

1.) not following you here. isn't it okay to say 'i don't know'

2.) it is. i read about it in 'philosophy for beginners'

I believe he was commenting on the irony and reality that science in part shapes religion and their beliefs.

Also, you shouldn't call "We don't know" and easy answer. It's easy to say....but it's not an "easy" answer. That's half of the problem with the religious.....they are content with that answer and cease their inquiry once they arrive at that conclusion.
