thanx for posting your beliefs guys. i'm eventually going to go through it and write down the good arguments and come up with answers for them sometime.
chris did a really good job of anwering and i agree with him a lot. i scanned some stuff so i'll give some brief statements...
gekko, nowhere in the bible does it say it waas an apple! quit listing that as a reason
and i believe the garden was destroyed shortly after adam and eve were kicked out or during the flood, which by the way this story is found in many many more places around the earth in different forms of writing.
i saw some stuff about religion. don't let religion get in the waay of your belief in god or your relationship with him. the right religions are the ones that go by the bible. the wrong ones are the ones that do things that go against it.
carbon dating is very innacurate.
something i saw said believing more in satan cause more bad going on. the bad is going on because so manty people have turned their back on god.
and finally, its about faith. god sent his son to die for us, shows us endless mercy, etc etc. now what he wants from us is our faith, our belief in something not physically seen. if he showed himself to us, physically, of course we would believe. but he want people who believe because they want to return his love he showed to them. btw, who are we that god should show himself to us.
thanx again for posting. hopefully someone will benefit from this, either through this thread or because next time i get asked some of these questions i'll be ready to answer them.
anything else to say you can contact me at dunadan00 on aim. my icq is in myt profile. or you could just post of course
