Amazing what people say in threads that start with such a simple question. I don't mean to criticize (since I definitely believe in freedom of speech, otherwise I might not post at all) but . . . oh, never mind. With the next thing I say I realize my opinions will be completely ignored.

I do agree with some of the things people have posted. Religious institutions have been twisted into something they were never meant to be. Regardless . . . I do want to believe that there is a point to this life, and we're not just aimlessly wandering about until we die and completely disappear from the universe, leaving behind only a few memories for those who know us until they too die. Does anyone want to believe in a meaningless existence? No wonder so many people are depressed.

I don't doubt there are lots of people who won't take me as seriously if I say I'm a Christian. And, please don't misread me here, with all honestly to myself and God, I can't say that I am. But I do believe there is a God, and that He created the universe and is still seeing it through today. Look around once and consider how complex things we take for granted are. If everything was an accident, it worked out much too perfectly.

There. Brand me as some theological nut if you want (I'm sure there's no way I can stop you), but, please, think before you respond. I believe one of the worst problems in modern society are people who disagree with something that they don't understand (whether they think they do or not).

Err... actually, science has pretty nicely explained how things work. So, everything's not really an accident but it does just work out this way. And think on this... if everything were chaos and havoc, mankind would've adapted if at all possible. Everything is relative, there's always going to be complexity and things that people will want to make either too small or too big.

Sience has yet to explain how the the amino acids were able to form into a cell without being combined with the oxygen (which the planet was needless to say ABUNDANT of.) in the atmosphere.

In reply to the first post (and intent) of this thread, I reply that I am not a Christian.

I won't go into what I believe, or say anyone else is right or wrong in what they believe (unless you're RadEd, because you're wrong Ed, wrong wrong wrong )

Since when is that news? Tab has always been wrong.

[jonmartensen]

See, Tab doesn't really believe in that theosophy junk, he's got two crosses next to the little guys head. Tab is clearlly Christian





Oh, no...wait...those aren't crosses.

Oh, well that's got me convinced. There must be a god. Damn amino acids, always ruining my plans.
