They're referring to growth rate in THOUSANDS OF YEARS, not decades. Describing your own big family proves the point.

Spiritual Warrior,

I understand that faith is something that fills the evidence gap so to speak - that if a belief were fully evidenced that it would not be faith.

However, one question, does faith allow you to believe in spite of evidence? In other words, if there were evidence against what you believe, would faith counteract it - or would you then question your belief?

well, so far, there has been no evidence that disproves my faith.....

fact of the matter is, when science gets involved in one thing, trying to disprove one thing about my faith, about my God, it will inadvertantly verify something else that was not even on the research list.....

a mathamatician, and engineer for Beech Aircraft company, proved the divinity and the mortality of Jesus Christ, with mathamatics..... fairly simple process.... only thing was, those that would have understood the process didnt want to hear it, cause it went against what they wanted to hear..... my mother has seen the formula, but not being a mathamatician, was unable to fully understand it, I was too young to even care, all i knew was that Jesus was real.....( by the way, i was doing complex math problems by the time I was in the 7th grade, my grandfather taught me how to do algebra and other stuff by then..... my oldest son is 17 and has already completed college algebra, college trig, and is currently taking calculus .... he is further then I wanted to ever be.... )

it does not take a brain to figure out that Jesus was both God and Mad at the same time..... but for those that are super brains, they can not figure out something that is so simple.....

I had a man working for me that was totally lost with almost anything you could think of, except math...... he could talk math for hours and hours ( honestly, i listened to him talk about a single mathamatical problem for 8 solid hours... no exageration what so ever..... this guy was bright when it came to math, but when it came to getting ready for work, he showed up one day with out shoes... had his socks on, but no shoes.... another day, forgot his coat ( january / february time frame in Iceland )..... knew his math..... but had not a lick of common sense....

it actually takes more faith not to believe in God then to believe in God..... the proof is with God....... the manuscripts of days gone by, not even things listed in the Bible show proof....

did you know there is a rental agreement that has been dated back ( by science, not religion ) to around Abrahams day???? and it was about 1500 miles from its origin...... wow.... even had the legal boundries that this peticular wagon was allowed to go..... it was not allowed past certain boundries or the party renting it would be liable for it...... that was over 4000 years ago.....

you see, there are coming to view, more and more things that have already been documented in the Bible, that people ignore as junk, that are actually being proven with modern science.....

did you know there is a tunnel under jerusalam that goes out a long distance from the city, that was hand dug many many many ( 3 - 4 thousand ) years ago.... that was started at each end and met in the middle and was only a few inches from being right on track with each end...... the tunnel was able to be traveled thru by several people at a time, for fetching water and such during an attack.... the math that had to be used to be able to line this tunnel up so close had to be pretty good.... and then to dig by hand..... sheesh..... i have a hard time digging a straight line for 100 feet...... much less several thousand feet.....

God proves science where science is trying to disprove God, but is proclaiming the entire Bible is correct.....

as i mentioned earlier,,,,, there is no evidence, that goes against my God that has been verified to be true, it has all been deemed false.... it can not stand against its self, the false evidence that is against God can not.... we were told that when we did an equation in math or even with science, that if we could not prove it using the same technic then it was invalid.... science comes up with something, and they try to pass it off as being truth, and they have not even followed the basic laws of science, and that is to prove what they find against it's self......

how many years did they believe the horseshoe crab had been gove from the face of the earth????? and then one day, vol'la, there is a live horseshoe crab.... junk science said it could not exist..... and it does.....

how about the nautlist? another ancient creature not suppose to be in existance, and well, I have a fairly fresh shell from one.. .and they are currently swimming around the oceans.....

I lay the burden of proof on those that try to say God does not exist, PROVE IT!

you can'nt ...

mike

You CAN'T prove that God exists or does not. Hence Agnostics.

You can prove that certain theories are, as far as we know, physical truths, laws.

I dont have to prove to me that God exist..... for God has already shown Himself to me. I know, beyond any.... not just a shadow, but beyond any doubt, that God does, indeed, factually exists...... if a person chooses to ignore the evidence given by God Himself, that is their problem... that is the same as rejecting Him and when time comes to stand before Him and make an account for your life here, what will you answer?????

will you say ,Gee, i couldn't see you, so I thought you didnt exist..... or

I heard your voice but thought I was loosing my mind so I didnt answer you.... or

I just didnt want to be bothered..... or I didnt want the world to think i was a religous FANattic..... or I wanted to do things my way..... or I didnt want you to control my life....

what excuse will you give to the Lord when He asks.....

I will say, Lord, Thank You for Everything...... You Are The Mostest ..... You gave me Life.... You Saved this unworthy soul and thru you I have been cleaned....

and much much much more.... Praising His Name all the day long.....( no more night time )

"Oops. Sorry. Forgive me?"

"Yeah, sure. That's what I do."

Done and done.

You can't *prove* scientific theory. That's why it's called a theory. The *Law* of Gravity for example will only stand until we observe phenomena that contradicts it. Having said that I'm pretty sure it is correct. I only want to point out that scientific theory cannot be proven to absolute certainty because it would be impossible for any human to verify it's truth in every possible case.

Dear All,

This is just my opinion. You need not accept it or even read it if you dislike it. DISCLAIMER: I am not a christian.

All this talk about proof and evidence confuses me. I always thought that faith was defined as the will to believe without evidence (some atheists would say despite evidence to the contrary). One does not need to defend one's faith by proving it. Proving faith is non-sensical. If there was proof, faith would not be needed.

Equally non-sensical is when someone asks someone to disprove their belief. This assumes that someone has total knowledge of the universe and all its workings in order to argue a disproof.

I think everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. It only gets hairy when someone tries to impose their beliefs on others who do not believe similarly. In this case, the one making the assertive claim should provide the proof, or at least the reasons why others should believe as they do. Fortunately, throughout history, only a few have chosen to employ violence as a method of convincing others.

Isn't tolerance a great thing?

Regards,

Absolutely. We have to learn to listen to each other more.

Having said that I'm pretty sure it is correct. I only want to point out that scientific theory cannot be proven to absolute certainty because it would be impossible for any human to verify it's truth in every possible case.

Which is why I said "as far as we know." But there is a difference between scientific theory and scientific law, FYI. Not that laws can't be wrong, we're just more confident that they're not.

Ok, not picking fights here. :t2: But please believe me when I say I know what scientific theory and law is. I just wanted to point out the inherent uncertainties of science, which any true scientist will readily acknowledge.

Dear jcm,

This is just my opinion. If you disagree, you are free to disregard it. DISCLAIMER: I am not a christian.

Yes, science is never 100% proven. However, science has evidence, and is flexible enough to look at itself and entertain evidence that it may be in contradictory. If the preponderance of valid and reliable data is there, science will revise itself.

Try comparing that to dogma. :t2:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
