And the evolutionists say all that happened by random chance.

I say, "No way!"
But that's the fallacy of the ages, right? "We don't understand X, therefore God/Allah/Thor/Ra is the explanation."

There's plenty we don't know. How is the unknown evidence for deities?

As I have always said....Love is the bait, it is the only sacred lure...
God can not stay away. It is not in His power....your heart
will be a magnet; He must come.

How to really, deeply, practically, profoundly, love this Eternal Spirit, Creator of Universes?
You must know Him. Can't love something, anything, you don't know...
otherwise it is like loving a photo of a baby or a puppy...it isn't a practical application.

Start with just relaxing and in silence, open your awareness...expanding it to feel
His Divine Presence.
It's a start...just the first step...but, so significant.
Remembering how often Jesus went off alone in solitude.
Now, he knew his Father!!!!

Who am I talking to? I dunno ...just if someone is interested in how I do it.
Works for me.

"BE STILL.
BE QUIET.
LISTEN"

Ha, remember the last supper...after all those YEARS and still Jesus said,
There are many things I want to tell you but you can not bear it (grasp it).
John 16:12

LOL! That's your rebuttal? Your debate skills are profound!

Jesus wants you to stop sinning yet you cannot seem to manage that one simple thing. All that Bible belief gets you nowhere since you cannot put anything you read into action.
Folks, this is what liberals do when they have no viable argument-attack the other person.

So if God is real and not imaginary, why is there not universal agreement on his existence and his characteristics?
What we believe about God has nothing to do with the fact that He exists.

People can't even agree on their opinions of people they see regularly. There's no way there will be agreement on someone whom people have not seen.

Actually, as is illustrated by your snide comment about debate skills, the attacks come from both sides

I guess you have no reply.

Your interpretations of the Bible do not apply to me. And, since you do not live up to the tenants of the book you claim to love, it seems odd that you apply it to me.

You have stated you are a sinner. You believe the Bible wholeheartedly, and claim to live by it. However, you have not taken the lessons, and put them into action. You sin, and continue to sin.

I guess that is what fogies do. You have no answer, and claim you are being attacked. Nothing I have stated is untrue.

Jesus wanted us to stop sinning. By your own admission you have not listened.

The truth applies to you (and everyone else).

2 Peter 1

20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation.

I have a relationship with God. You have a relationship with an ancient book written by men for men.

The holy scriptures are valuable because they speak of Jesus.

John 5:39

You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me. -Jesus
