Remember evolution states that the changes in an organism(evolution) result from beneficial RANDOM mutations. Now, the last time a checked mutations are never good and always result in that particular copy being flawed to the point where it hurts the organism its found within or death occurs. The idea that all of these mutations happened and they were good is crazy. Remember evolution occured as an accident. Example: Fish developed appendages in order to become amphibians not because they wanted to but because the accidential mutation happened where they grew appendages and then figured out how to use them. Oh, and they accidentially grew a functional lung too.

First off I was unmarried for 27 years. I got married a year ago to a wonderful girl. Anyhow, all of my friends got married by the time they were 23. Some even by 21. I was ALWAYS the single guy with all the couples which made it worse. Finally, after YEARS of prayer I did get married but it took WORK. I did have to pray. I did have to actively search for my future wife. She did not fall out of the sky or anything. I made the effort to meet girls and was lucky enough to meet her. Although God did arrange that meeting! Anyhow, I do know that I had anger towards my situation when I was single. I was mad at God sometimes because I was so alone. But I stopped. I started focusing on Him and most importantly became content with my life. It was then that I met my wife. You see, its not always our timing. Its God's. I know this sounds like garbage from a married guy but its true. God truly knows whats best for us. I think that is what was being mentioned earlier. Not that you lack faith and you are not as holy as others. Its that anger for what we don't have that gets in the way. God has given us so much already. Be happy with your life and salvation. You may be surprised how He blesses you. Peace and love. Chad

If fair means always giving us what we want here on earth then God is not fair. If fair is giving us a chace at eternity with Him then yes, he is fair. Remember we live in a fallen world of sin and imperfection made so by US. And yet God gives us a chance to realize that life here does not matter. Life eternal is the ultimate prize. To us, fair means everything is perfectly fine. It is going to be, we just have to be patient and wait a little while. Peace

Sorry to hear that you are having such a rough go at life right now. We can't possibly know the mind of God. What He thinks is usually a total mystery to us. We can only trust. I do know that it just seems that some people can't win no matter how hard they try. Others are just lucky and the cards always seems to come up for them. Keep your faith. Remember what a powerful story you have to share with others; your total faith in Gods plan for you and your family. I will pray for you.

SS, Yes, I am a sinner. You are a sinner. Being gay is a sin. Why would I want to accept a civil union? Are you reading what you are writing? Acceptance of civil unions or gay marriages would be accepting a sinful lifestyle. What sense would it make for someone who is against homosexuality to support or be tolerant of such things.

What does it matter what causes it? What does that prove? The fact is it is wrong!!! God clearly defines homosexual behavior as an abomination; a sinful act of the flesh. With that said who cares what the cause is??!! I would bet mass murders and child molesters have some chemical/emotional/relational problems as well. Because murdering is natural for them does that make it right? Just because a child molester has that desire does that make it right? Sure, homosexuality involves willing partners but what does that matter? Its wrong, its a sin, and such behavior is against Gods plan for us. Ok, now let all those gay supporters start the bashing because I compared child molesters/murders with homosexuals. But its a problem with the person..... In my opinion homosexual acts between 2 people are 2 individuals with a sinful desire using each others bodies to meet that desire. Willing rape if you will.

Who cares if gays are gay because of genetics, personal choice, or exposure to hormones in the uterus. Is it in our genes to sin? Yes Is it our personal choice to sin? Yes Do we sin because of exposure to chemicals in the uterus? In some way probably. Exposure to hormones helps to shape us and plays a role in our development. But the truth is no matter what causes homosexuality it is wrong biblically. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ and believe fully and truly in the word of God then you should also believe sin, in any form is wrong. This includes homosexuality. Being gay is a sin like any sin; no worse. But what makes the issue is when someone claims to be a Christian and is openly gay; living as if being gay is ok just because popular culture accepts it or because they have the "urge" so its an OK lifestyle. I have the urge to sin....is it Ok....NOOOOOO!!! What I am trying to say is..... Is it in our genes to be gay? For some people Is it personal choice to be gay? For those who live the gay lifestyle. Is being gay a result of hormone exposure? Maybe Is being gay wrong? Yes. Is supporting the gay lifestyle wrong even if you are not gay? Yes, because that is supporting sin. Supporting an individual who is wronging God and going against what the Creator has established for us. Man, I love God and am so happy that He has given us His word to live by. Where would we be without it!!!!!!!!!!

What claims? Just curious......

SS.... Where do you see a mistake? The post states homosexuality is a sin. Getting married does not say that it is less of a sin cus they are "committed"(however committed a homosexual can be) God forgives when you come to Him. Man, thats plain as day. I don't see where there can be confusion. God DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE GAY LIFESTYLE. HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN. HE DESTROYED ENTIRES CITIES BECAUSE OF THEIR GAY PRACTICES. MAN, SOME PEOPLE WOULD NOT SEE THE TRUTH IF IT HIT THEM IN THE FACE!!!!

Scientific Atheist No, actually you are incorrect. If you would take a close look at the time periods when such ideas were held as factual you WILL see that science and religion were so closely linked it was hard to distinguish between the two. What was regarded as science was also held as a religious view. Moreover, science did disprove these ideas but it was scientists(who were generally religious men) that came up with them. The scientists of the day often times were also the bible boys of the time. By the way these ideas were not held by a few uneducated people. To say that is crazy. Times change, ideas change. Science disproves many theories time and time again. But the Christian Faith pushes onward. Neither myself with my simple christian mind or you in your infinite and complete wisdom can prove their points beyond a shadow of a doubt. Gregor Mendel Robert Hooke Louis Pasteur All men of faith but also scientists.

And hey, I think the earth is flat and is also the center of the universe. Moreover, maggots arise spontaneously from decomposing material(s) and if you have a headache you should drill a hole in your head to release the evil spirits. Science supported that at one time too. Where is the evidence that says life had to evolve? PS I'm back and happy holidays.

UndecidedFrog and any other who feels this way... You are absolutely nuts if you think its ok for someone to eat another person if it goes with their culture. I bet you would love to be friends with Hitler or maybe even some other famous murderers. But hey, that went with their microculture(murdering) so I guess its ok. DON'T YOU SEE? Saying something is OK just because it goes with their culture means NOTHING IS WRONG!!!! What defines a culture? Where are the limits. I am a firm believer. I love God with all my heart but I truly believe that you and the rest of the atheists on this site are here to argue for whatever reason(fear that you are wrong maybe or possibly searching for truth) and attempt to sway believers from the truth because of your intelligent pride. Argue if you will but that is the truth, no matter what you say. I hope it because you are searching for truth. I will visit this site no more. I will continue to pray for you but my staying here only angers me when I hear remarks like those that you make. I don't want my being upset to set a bad example. I hope and pray Christ will someday become a part of your life. I am so frustrated now I can hardly write. God bless all

Remember not to put limits on God's ability. God said "Let there be light" and there it was. He didn't have to let it reach the earth. It was there. I don't have enough time today to say much more: we need to make sure we don't put limits on the Creator.

We know what atheists are about. Or at least some of what they are about. They don't believe in God. They say they are visiting a christian site to inform christians about atheism. I appreciate that. I have learned a great deal I want to take this opportunity to pray for the atheists on this board. I love you guys and hope you find Christ. Please understand that christians are people, imperfect people. Some of us get worked up and seem angry but we care.

UPDATE!!!! 1. The presidential election is being called off because aliens have already picked the winner. 2. If you eat pop rocks and drink pepsi at the same time you will explode. 3. The bible is fake!!! This is another fine tool of satan. Ahhh, anything to put doubt in the minds. TRUST IN CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!
