    Your statements is true so far, but it is prophesied that there will be a 2nd coming of Jesus, we do not know when but He promised a 2nd coming.

    I can only hope that He returns in my lifetime and I will one of the fortunate saved ones that will meet Him up in the clouds and on our way to paradise in God's Kingdom of Heaven!

    God created the two guys and all the necessary materials needed for those two guys to create the computer.

    God is the Creator of all existence and the Head Scientist....write that down in your notebook!

    Sorry but our sun was created on day 1. Furthermore I have not read anything in Scripture that tells us the devil acted as the light source for the earth until day 4.

    Some people have a bad habit of making things up. You have to go with what is written in Scripture and avoid filling in the blanks.

    No, it's not because evolution is just a theory, and you can't prove a theory to be true.

    Surely you can't expect all 7 billion people living in the world today to accept a particular religion such as Christianity or any other religion for that matter.

    There are various reasons why people do not accept the religion, to name a few they are disappointed with God, they have social pressure, they don't like the cost of discipleship and they like to keep their immorality (especially sexual immorality)

    Tell me what is your reason for not accepting Christianity?

    But you can strongly support it with evidence, as they have done with evolution. It would be incredibly unlikely for evolution to be disproved at this point.

    This logic is entirely circular. We know God created the universe because God witnessed it? That makes no sense. That being said...

    Even if no one witnessed the creation of the universe, it doesn't change the fact that God could have caused it.

    Since you do not believe in the message of Jesus I would not get to excited.

    Tis the likes of those such as yourself who deny his message that Christ is referring to.

    So you are saying god guided them on the plans to build a computer? What happened to free will? If we have free will then god had nothing to do at all with the invention of computers. If we don't have free will then god is responsible for the evil that men do. Which is it Mitt? Please tell us.
    Sorry Ill write it down in my notebook only after you prove it.

    Everything on planet earth evolves as well as the earth and our visible universe. Just because you refuse to acknowledge common sense doesn't mean it isn't there, it just means you refuse to accept it. Same as the people before you thought the world was flat and the earth was the center of the universe up until we prove that it is merely a microscopic spec in the grand scheme of the universe which your book didn't cover at all because apparently your God created everything but neglected to remember to tell them about it. Seems to me that would have prevented a lot of bloodshed since people wouldn't have been sacrificed every time there was an eclipse. Hmm sounds like he wanted those things to happen....or was that free will Mitt?

    So you believe in some science when it suits your argument but not others?

    Tell us Mitt what does god look like? Does he have a beard? Cavities? Blue eyes or brown eyes? How big is his nose? You said we are created in his image just trying to find out who among us are the closest in resemblance.

    So you have no idea who wrote the documents or why but you know the documents are "historical" documents and not fiction.

    So what we see is you don't like the idea of being descendant from an ape but BUT you just eat up the idea that you are designed after a god. LOL Textbook narcissism.

    Well, your inclusion of the "why" parameter dismisses your statement on the grounds that you are attempting to change the wording of what I said by adding that 'why' parameter. I only addressed the 'who' parameter... as in 'who wrote those documents'. The 'why' is clearly answered in the fact that even some non-theists agree that some of the teachings found in those documents have merit as a moral guideline.

    The process of evolution have indicated that every species evolved from its own kind that is why birds did not evolved from cats, lions did not evolved from dolphins, and humans did not evolved from apes. What is for sure and proven is that someone or something started the whole process of evolution or creation and that someone is God.

    http://www.christianpost.com/news/recent-discovery-suggesting-humans-evolved-from-one-species-compatible-with-christianity-say-catholic-science-experts-107597/
    "Certainly, confirmation of humanity's origin in one single lineage, just like modern humanity belonging to one species (as is proposed by the recent study), fits better with the understandings of the faith," said Msgr. Fiorenzo Facchini, an expert paleontologist and anthropologist and a priest of the Church of Bologna, according to Catholic News Service.

    Recent research published in the journal Science of an ancient human skull unearthed in 2005 at the site of modern day Georgia in Europe has suggested that humans might have evolved from a single source rather than branching from a tree of multiple species. The skull, named "Skull 5," is believed to be 1.8 million-years-old.

    "This is the most complete early Homo skull ever found in the world," said lead study author David Lordkipanidze, researcher at the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi.

    Lordkipanidze added that variations in physical features among the Dmanisi hominid specimens can be compared to modern-day differences between humans, suggesting they all belong to one tree. The author noted that "if you will put separately all these five skulls and five jaws in different places, maybe people will call it as a different species."

    The researcher added that the specimens may all be a part of a single evolving Homo erectus species, evidence for which has also been found in Africa and Asia. The study proposes that fossil records that had seemingly identified different species such as Homo ergaster, Homo rudolfensis and Homo habilis could possibly be variations on a single species, Homo erectus.

    We believe in factual and actual science not fictional science that is why we separate fiction from facts because it does not suit truth.

    There is nothing to like about your claim that humans descendant from apes because humans clearly are not and did not evolved from apes nor apes evolved from humans it is just your personal claim and claim by others because with total lack of understanding science. If you claim that humans evolved from apes then we can also claim that apes evolved from humans, right? Every living things are design according to their own kind and from there own kind they evolved further.

    So what is it that you don't like why humans evolved from humans? have you anything against humans or humanity :( ?

    There is no such thing as fictional science. If its fictional it isn't science. Heres a little tidbit for you to chew on. As science progresses, more and more people will move away from worshipping pretend sky beings. Each day takes us closer to the eradication of religion. I especially love the part where you require facts for science (like the rest of us) but don't require any facts at all nor even ask the question of how a person could live to be 900 years old.
    Here lets see where your science fact begins and ends. How old is the earth and where did you get the fact from?

    There is nothing to dislike about descending from other creatures. Now since you cited scientific fact in other posts where is your science showing we were created from a god. Again please note facts only please.
    And no as every child knows different animals branch off, some survive and some don't. So humans evolved from humans? LOL thats hilariously asinine. According to you guys humans didn't evolve? Which is it? You guys are making contradicting statements again.
    Also, how is believing we descended from other animals considered being against humanity? The only humans I am against are the deranged ones for example like the Priests who rape little boys. Very apelike doncha think? Apes often force their dominance on smaller apes by raping them. I wonder if I bang some trashcan lids together the priests will run off for a while.

    You are drawing false conclusions from that article.

    Even if modern humans did come from one species (and this is totally possible although the evidence points to more than one parent lineage) this does not mean that humans are the same species as the species that they originated from.

    You need to understand that species is only a description of physical characteristics and these characteristics change over time. Like language, if you separate two of the same groups (once speaking the same language) over time those two languages change so much that the one group can no longer understand the other.

    If you take a population consisting of one species and separate that population into two groups (having no contact with each other) over time those species change so much that they fit into different categories.

    Neanderthal for example is classified as a different species from Homo sapiens.

    Christians make a big thing about Jesus being of the line of King David. If he was, then he was indeed a King. Pilate was no doubt unfamiliar with Jesus' pedigree.

    As to Barabbas - This is not a name. It means Son of the Rabi. So whose son was he?

    Why did you give up your own ancestral gods and heroes for those of the Jews?
    Why do you believe a Jewish book is telling the truth?
