  1. I appreciate it, that bothering me in every thread I make is tolerated here. Can you stop interrupting productive conversations by always mentioning me or my private information. Its really distracting for me. I only share personal information that Im comfortable with on the internet, however I did not share it to have it written in every thread, everywhere i write. Atleast do it like the others and limit yourself to only bothering me in private messages.
  2. Again, what makes you assume that there is only one God and why do you assume that its your God, the God of the bible? Mine or your health condition, have no influence over which things are true and which are false. How do you know that I should seek Jesus and not Allah or Wischnu or Zeus or Thor or the flying spaghetti monster? Mohammad is a prophet only to those who have faith and believe in him. Do you see how little value claims like this have? What method did you use to determine what religions are manmade? Did you use the same method on christianity? How did you determine that christianity is true? How did you determine that mohammad was a simple human and jesus the son of god? How dare you to devalue innocent humans to a point where you can even accept that they will experience punishment in an eternal fire in hell. How can you be so cruel and nonloving to humans? Im not morally crooked enough to do that. I have more respect for my cat, than you have to some humans I dont care about what you believe, but its time to stop following me on every thread, if the only thing you want to do, is saying bad things about me. If you ever decide to participate in a productive conversation then go ahead. However if you only aim to say bad things or to make claims without providing evidence, then atleast stop mentioning my name everytime you do that.
  3. Could this exact situation, happen in an alternate world, an alternate universe that has no God?
  4. No that would be horrible. Something that is horrible is not a miracle from God, so I dont consider this example a miracle
  5. Do we have any reason to assume that without God, science would not exist? I think a thought experiment (my favourite one) would help alot. Imagine an alternate universe. Universe A has God. Universe B has no God. How will universe B, be different from universe A? If we can determine how a universe without a God would look like, we can start to compare it with the universe that we live in right now and see if there are any similarities or differences.
  6. Thats something I heard with other religions too. I remember that my family had a documentary running about how Islam helped prisoners start a new life, become better humans etc. Islam contradicts the Christian view completly. It seems that religion can change your life, even if its something that is probably not true. ( Scientology, Islam, Paganism etc). I also remember the time when I was on a satanist website similiar to this forum. People talked alot about how finding a new community (that accepts them) helped them in their life. It helped them overcome depression or addiction, find the strength to apply to a job after year long unemployment etc. Just having a community or finding a believe system that ressonates with you, is often enough to change your life. It doesnt tell you anything about the validity of your believe system. I cant make dead people alive again. Do you have proof that God can bring people back to life? Proof, that the Bible is worth believing in or that (our) God exists would be enough for me.
  7. I am not playing games I simply examine ideas and check if they are worth believing in. I am trying to believe and I am NOT trying to make others not believe. I am simply scrutinising Christianity the way I did with Islam. If Christianity is something that can not withstand scrutiny, then is it really something worth believing in? If Christianity can withstand my scrutiny, then I would have a reason to accept it. We scrutinise EVERY idea, except our religion. Why is religion something we have to make an exception for? Why do you think that Christianity will lead to salvation, and not Islam, Paganism, Buddhism, Janeism, Judaism, the ancient egypt Gods, the old greek gods, Mormonism, Hindus, Sikhism, Bahaism, Confucianism, Shintoism or one of the other thousands of religions? If one religion is true, then all the others are false, and all the other religions will lead to hell (atleast for the religions that have a concept of hell). We have to find the religion that is true, and we can only find it if we question everything and look for the most reasonable religion. Do you have proof for christianity? Outside of "just believe"? If "just believe" was all that was necesarry, to proof something true, then all religions are true. Every serious follower of a religion, thinks that their religion is true and that its the best for them. What makes christianity different? Also what are the proven facts to all true christians, can you tell me atleast one. How are close examinations, careful research and logical conclusions "deceiving others"? You did not reply to any of my serious replies, for example my calculations of the flood in my previous posts. All you do is assert that Christianity is true without providing any evidence that its true. Aslong as we did not establish, that Christianity is true, we have to take into consideration that Christianity could be a false religion, a smokescreen that distracts us from the true faith.
  8. Okay Ill go it through. What miracles? Okay lets imagine an alternate universe. Imagine we have 2 universes. Universe A has Jesus in it ( our universe ) . Universe B doesnt have Jesus in it. Universe A has a God, Universe B is Godless. Lets also make the assumption, that we have an earth and the exact same humans in both universes. How will universe B, be different from universe A? What things will happen in universe A, that will never happen in universe B and vice versa? Once we can determine, how a universe without a God would look like, we can start to compare it with our universe and see similarities or differences.
  9. What method can we use, to determine what is a real relationship with God and what is not? To discover what is true and what is false
  10. Maybe my receptor is broken, how is yours currently? Do you know someone with better sensors than mine so we can examine miracles more closely.
  11. because this thread is about modern day miracles. If someone experienced something that can be considered a miracle, then it would benefit us all to know about it. God doesnt seem to be a responsive entity, so it will take some time until I get an answer from him.
  12. Basically the question in this link is : Where did the sand / rock in the grand canyon come from? Must be the flood! " https://www.bobspixels.com/kaibab.org/geology/gc_geol.htm " The North American Plate is moving west and is colliding the Pacific Plate which is moving towards the northwest. The Pacific Plate is also expanding from its middle and its eastern edge is being subducted beneath the North American Plate as it comes into contact with it. Oceanic plates are typically subducted beneath continental plates because they area heavier. As pressure increases while they are being subducted they tend to get heavier still and to some extent they start to fall and pull more plate along with them. As the Pacific Plate moves beneath the North American Plate the rock of which it is composed is superheated and water is released and begins to rise. This water, which is extremely hot, causes lighter minerals tomelt and forms lava which feeds the chain of volcanoes on the eastern edge of the Pacific Rim which runs from Alaska to Chile. The conflict between the plates is also frequently responsible for mountain building activity. As the plates are forced together they sometimes buckle which causes mountain ranges to be formed along the contact point. This is how the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada and the costal mountains of California were formed and how the Aleutian Island are being formed today. A much older range of mountains, which geologists suspect were much higher than todays Rocky Mountains and may even have rivaled the Himalayas, now forms the base of the Grand Canyon. The rocks that made up these mountains are about 1.7 billion years old, or about one-third the age of our planet. These mountains have long since eroded away and sedimentary deposits have covered them over. The sediments that covered the roots of these ancient mountains were deposited by a series of advancing and retreating ocean coast lines. As the climate of our planet warms and cools the median sea level of the planet rises and falls due to the melting and freezing of the polar caps. When the sea level rises, land areas which are close to the coast and relatively low in altitude are sometimes submerged. This was the case with the land area of the Grand Canyon and is why so many different sedimentary rock layers exist. Each of these was formed by a different period in which the ocean moved in and covered the land, stayed for a while, and then retreated again. Limestone deposits are created when the ocean moves in and slates, shales and mudstone deposits are created when the ocean moves out and the area is covered by silts washing into the retreating ocean. The first article, tells us that fossils formed because the flood quickly covered a dinosaur herd and thats why we got lots of fossils. The second article tells us that there are no fossils, because the fast currents and oxidation would destroy the bones. https://creation.com/Robert-Ballard-did-not-discover-Noahs-Flood This article points to how Robert Ballard did NOT confirm noahs flood, on the same website (creation.com) The rest are related to earth surface, mountains erosions etc. However before we even continue to talk about earths geology we have to realise, what consequence a flood would have. I calculated previously, that the total amount of water had to increase by atleast 215%. Now lets imagine the pressure that would apply on one square meter of the earth, if all the water would press on it . Genesis 7:20 "The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits. ". 15 cubits is 6,85 meter. The mount everest is 8 848 m tall. That means 6,85 + 8,848= 8854,85 m. Now lets imagine a 1meter * 1 meter * 8854,85 cuboid. The volume of that cuboid is 1*1*=8854,85 m³. M = 1000kg/m³ * 8854,85 m³ = 8854850 kg. That means that !!one!! square meter of the earth, experienced the pressure of 8854850 kg. We basically had big and heavy mountains pressing on the surface of the earth, everywhere. Such a huge pressure, would leave way more obvious and visible evidence, than what you gave me in your links.
  13. Can you maybe check your first link? I get an error when I click on it ( maybe somethings wrong with me). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog#Life_cycle We can date that frogs are atleast 265 million years old so we can expect similarities. I also found something specific for this species https://www.liquisearch.com/frog/evolution "An early, well-preserved fossil of Sanyanlichan (the frog you send me), which lived 125 million years ago, was found in China in 2001. It had all the characteristics of modern frogs but there were nine presacral vertebrae in its backbone instead of the eight found in present-day species." This fossil shows evolution beautifully. Yes, the ancient frogs and our modern frogs look similiar. However, there are distinct differences. If you kept sending me pictures of frogs, from the Cretaceous Period, until today, then we could see how the amount of vertebrates slowly changes or how other body parts slowly turn into the features of our modern frogs. Excuse me, the other link did not work (for me) so I cant say anything about clams (incase that link was about clams). Please give me the scientific paper of the clam you are talking about. Well, its very easy to conclude that some organs are Vestigial, let me give you a very clear example. Here is a picture of a Kiwi wing. https://adventuresofakiwichick.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/kiwi-wing-moult.jpg These wings are absolutely deformed and useless. They are evolutionary history that is not completly gone yet. These things are absolutely useless and not beneficial to the animal in any way. Thanks for the prayer. Maybe I will believe in what God says one day, however we have to admit that God went through great lengths, to hide his existence or his interference on our planet and the universe. There is absolutely nothing in the universe that points to a God. (except the mystery of the origin of the universe, but even that would only proof to "a god" or "gods" and not yachweh)
  14. Medicine is not a miracle. For example, it would be a total mess if it wasnt for all the pumps sucking blood off the operating area. Its also not a miracle that we had to go through alot of trial and error in medicine ( for example vasectomy). Its not a miracle that medicine is build upon roots of human experimentation or animal experimentation. Lets tell the familiy of the victims that died in that plane crush, that Gods miracle saved one person because he missed his plane and see how they react. http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/08/bumblebee-flight-does-not-violate-the-laws-of-physics/ Here is a link that explains the physics behind bumblebees. Billions of people dont have access to clean drinking water and suffer hunger. Just because we have privilied people living like kings, doesnt mean anything special Okay, what about the 2,5 million europeans, that died last year because of an infection they aquired in a hospital? Does God love you more than other people or why does he care more about your health than other people? Personal experiences dont have any meaning. Full recoveries happen, why should we link it to a miracle? Lets repeat this experiment according to the scientific standards. Thats just personal experience that could very well happen in a world without a God.
