Unfortunately the same could be said of millions who claim to be Christian but sadly lack any evidence in their own personal lives of a belief in the Teachings , Laws and Principles from their own Holy book, the Bible.

I look nothing like a monkey.....I have normal ears and I don't go swining through the trees....lol....and maybe I can swim like a fish, don't mean I came from one.....fairytales, fairytales. My God is real.
At least we understand the concept of a god. You make it so apparent that you know nothing about evolution at all. There is absolutely no logic in any area of your argument.

I probably wouldn't "believe" in evolution either, if that's how I thought it worked. But it doesn't. I'd recommend a few good biology textbooks.

Evolution is happening all around us, all the time, but not in the way it's been explained to you ...

The guy asked us to prove the Bible is true without using the Bible. The truth is the Bible's evidence of divine inspiriation (TRUTH) is in its words.
You're still right back where you started ... saying the Bible is true because the Bible says so. Circular logic.

The very things that people could not understand thousands of years ago we now know today as simply science in action.....no supernatural activity required.
Exactly. A long time ago, people thought thunder and lightning and earthquakes were proof that the gods were angry. We'd laugh at anyone who seriously clung to that belief today.

People have been interpreting Biblical "prophecy" for thousands of years now, and you can almost always make something general and vague fit contemporary issues. People have been doing that with Revelation ever since it was written. John of Patmos was obviously writing about Christian persecution under the Romans, but people today still read things into it to predict the end of the world.

Remember, too, that Jesus was supposed to return to earth back in 1844, according to William Miller. Then he was supposed to return in the '80s, and then at the turn of the millennium. Heck, Jesus told his disciples that some of them would still be around when he came back. So much for that, huh?

Ah, yes. I'm sure every scientist that has ever studied or proven elements of evolution to be true is absolutely quaking at this exasperatingly fine piece of scientific endeavor backed by multitudes of empirical research and written in such clear context and prose. I guess I never looked at it as being called a fairytale. Well, game over. It was nice knowing you, Darwin.

Default Arrgh!

There is zero proof that God exists and there is zero proof that God does not exist. Does anybody understand that?

I have not ever met one person who could prove there was a god, but they insist there is one.
Here's the OP, four months and several hundred posts ago......
