ok..enough sitting back reading..here goes...
The notion of a god as an interveening being in the day to day lifes of mere humans is an obsurd proposition..It is almost comical..i was raised in a strict christian house, by parents that werre ministers, so i know the bible and the religon as well as anyone...i grew up believeing all the story's my parents taught and preached as 'facts' to young minds..while the thought of religon is honourable, the means and the message is simply unscientifacally sustainable..
It wasn't untill i removed myself and my mortality from the equation that i started to see things much more clearly...
We as humans have a basic urge, a longing to know when we die we move on...our loved ones 'move on'...its a nice thought...
But i urge you all to try looking at the facts from an unsympathetic, un human view...
Christianity can't have its cake and eat it too, nor can any other religon for that matter...either the bible speaks the truth, or it doesn't...either the earth is 6000 years old, or its 14 billion..there is no eating of the young earth cake..im sure you have all heard the analogy of the timeline thing...if all the time in the earths history were compressed into a 24 hour period, humans would have appeard at around 10 seconds to midnight...life itself appearing within the last few minutes...
now...consider that for a moment...what was god waiting for??
I am well read on all the alternate theories...the youg earth, intelligent design..these theory's use so called science as there basis..where if you look deeply enough(which isn't very deep) you see the science is simply ludecrous..things like 'irreducable complexity' and the inconstance of the speed of light...thats my personal fav...some creationist would have us bel;ieve that the speed of light has slowed(or sped up) dramatically in the lsat few thousand years...therefor these galaxies and so on that we see that are measured mathmatically to be millions of light years away, aren't rea;lly that far at all...
well...i believe the closest thing we have to a god is mathmatics...its the one true constant thing...2x2 is 4..no matter what speed, no matter how old or young, or how far away....maths is the true unmovable object in the way of an interventionist god being a reality...he simply doesn't ADD up...
of course...this is all just my opinion..
