Jamie: creation and creator can't be the same, since that would imply that creation created itself. If there is a creation, there's got to be a creator. We are godlike, not gods. Just think about the Big Bang theory and try to explain it without a creator. BTY saying that is all due to chance is like saying that Websters Dictionary was the result of an explosion in a printshop.
Cran: How about Einstein himself? Or Schroedinger, or Max Plank, Curie, etc etc etc, the list is endless, it just take a little interest in the matter to find a host of hardcore scientits yielding before a Supreme Creator. I'll put it easier for you: just read James Strobel's The Case for a Creator and you'll find a character just like yourself asking the very same questions... |
No, but it was actually Einstein that stated that if you can't explain something well enough for your grandmother to understand it, then you don't understand it either. Basically, in your first post, you told everyone how they "should" think and act, all I did was ask you for a source. Just tell me how you arrived at these conclusions.
For example you could say "because of my indoctrination into Christianity I hold these beliefs to be true", "furthermore, my beliefs are better or superior to yours, and you should respect my authority in this matter because I got my information directly from god"---- or you could say, "the world would be a better place if everyone followed these guidelines" or maybe, "this is what I believe and it works for me, try it, you may like it"
