Purpose of man's existence

[Boris Norris]

You really should abstain from offering your tainted interpretations of the Bible.

How do you interpret walking on water and virgin births?

Pity on those who decide they are going to reject God and live forever on their own

More pity on those who thing that they are the pets of an invisible, intangible, odorless and mute being who thought that mosquitoes and viruses were a good ides.

I'd rather live in hell than be suffering prayer mumbling lunatics like you.

The Bible makes a BIG DEAL about how Jesus was descended on his father Josephs side from King Davids side, but of course he was said to be Gods son, not Joseph{s. Jesus was CLEARLY NOT the Messiah, who was not a son of God, but was a military and religious leader of ALL the Jesus.

The Messiah{s name was not Jesus, but Emmanuel- Mary and Joseph clearly did not read the Book of Daniel.

The Holy Mother Church refuses to acknowledge that Jesus had any siblings, because she was born without sin, she was immaculate.

Walking on water could be just a matter of knowing where sandbars are.

what you did not see the post where i proved your wrong

YOu mean that silly rambling diatribe?
Get serious!
YOu proved you can find a silly long rambling diatribe and post it, yeah.

So what?
Jesus said his knowledge of the day and time of his return was inferior to the Father's.
Jesus said nothing about any Holy Ghost. Nothing!

Nothing in the Universe seems to be permanent or eternal. Not the stars, nor the planets. What are the things that appear to be most permanent? Hydrogen and Helium.

Have you detected any randomness or uncharacteristic variations in orbits in our solar system since its beginning?

 

[Gabriel_Bell]

Many have been noted. The "perfect shapes" are spheres and circles, yet none of the planets are actually spherical, nor are their orbits perfect circles. I believe that Uranus orbits in the opposite direction of the other planets. randomness is quite common among celestial bodies over time.

Atheists cannot explain the orderliness and vastness of the universe or how it came into existence from nothingness.

The Universe is NOT ORDERLY at all. It is only as orderly as it needs to be to not go flying apart. It did not come into existence from nothingness, nor was it created by any eternal being, because there is no eternal being: nothing is eternal. There is a specific amount of matter and energy and perhaps other elements and they are in a constant state of change.

Atheists are smarter than fools who believe in talking snakes and original sin.

Atheists cannot explain how the universe originated. They cannot explain how millions of stars and planets managed to be scattered across billions of miles of space into relatively permanent positions, and they cannot prove no outside intelligence was involved before life originated on earth. I don't think they should congratulate themselves for supposedly being so smart.

Atheists, of course, generally agree that there is evidence of a Big Bang, but point out that anything prior to that is unknowable.
There is far more evidence of a Big Bang that there is for a Divine Eternally Existing Creator.

A being that is both all good and all powerful could not exist in a universe in which there is chaos and disharmony.

Bozos claim there is evidence of a 'big bang' origin of the universe from nothing but they don't know what they are talking about or how that could have even been scientifically possible.

 

[Gabriel_Bell]

There is evidence that the Universe is 13.4 billion years old. There is evidence that the Earth is only 4.5 billion year old, which means that the Earth came into existence 9.3 billion years after the Big Bang. What was God up to for those 9.3 billion years?

There is zero evidence that snakes could actually speak any human language, there is zero evidence that any large numbers of Hebrew slaves ever escaped Egypt, there is no evidence of any great flood, and only the Gospel of Matthew makes any mention of how when Jesus died, many corpses popped out of their graves and roamed about Jerusalem. People always pay attention to dead corpses strolling about in their midst and only Matthew claims that this happened.

Jewish scholars spent decades studying the Sinai Peninsula, really seeking evidence of a huge population milling about for 40 years and they found zilch.

Science always assumes that theories are subject to change based on evidence. There is a lot of evidence that Science is correct, and NONE that the Bible is in any way accurate.

Bill Nye and his amateur science guys have done a poor job of explaining how he knows the universe invented itself billions of years ago.

Disbelieving historical records is not the same thing as disproving historical records.

I'm sorry for their loss.

Just because some speculation is reported as science does not mean the reports are irrefutably accurate.
