Though I may agree with you. I would greatly encourage you to bring a lot more clarity to your argument. Explain to me why mans way is wrong, who said it was wrong, by what authority I should listen to it. Also, you're cutting your own limb when you say "mans way", seeing as though you are man, your telling me to believe you when you say not too. I know exactly what you're talking about, but your form of argument can be easily twisted and is going to cost you credibility. hope I was helpful.

I'm waiting for an actual clarifying dispute as to why. Insulting an argument does not bring basis to reject it. Just tells me that you appose it with a passion. But for the sake of maintaining credibility, type Atheist Church into google search.

Just about any belief system can be turned into a religion to include atheism. Yes Christianity has religious properties, but that's not what Christianity is. The real essence of Christianity is not summed up by reading the Bible, going to church, praying, being a missionary, having a Jesus fish on your bumper or saying and doing the right things. What defines Christianity at it's core is not what one does, but rather what someone else has already done and the reason why.

The only thing i remember in first grade was to never stop questioning. Any teacher that discourges this, shouldnt be a teacher.

All petty insults aside. There's one fundamental area I have yet to hear from anyone; the distinction between micro and macro evolution theories. When someone asks me if I simply believe in evolution, my simple answer yes and no. Evolution happens all around us all the time. This would include our biological adaptation to the world around us, everything from immunizations, to physiological changes to adapt to our climates and our development as a species. However, if someone were to ask if I agreed with our biological relation with anything other than the human race, I would have to disincline to agree. There has been no concrete geological or biological evidence to support our development as a species from anything other than each other. This is not to say there are plenty of scientific theories. But in my observation, science says very little by itself, scientists say a lot. Now I admit I am not speaking as a geologist, biologist, anthropologist, or cosmologist. I'm simply speaking as one who has compared and contrasted arguments from both sides of the spectrum. My question is why does everyone think that God has nothing to do with science? If there was an intelligent designer, I would only logically assume fundamental laws to be interpreted by science would be a natural necessary part of that creation. Just to put it out there, the scientific method was actually developed by a theist. Just a thought.

Well, as disturbing and as un thought out as this question is. I would find it rather ironic that in order to make this even a plausibility the common consensus would have to be nihilistic or at the very least Secular Humanistic in nature. Which by it's very foundation is religious idea.

Everyone knocks on Christianity, and for the most part I don't blame them. If all I had growing up were Bible thumping, in your face, hard charging, condemning people who said you were going to hell unless you believed for no apparent reason other than Jesus loves you and He doesn't want you to go to Hell. I would have honestly said to hell with you and f!@# that. However, the fact is, I don't have a religion to offer you and I have no desire to convert you. As a Follower of Christ I believe who Jesus was, what He has done for me and my desire to mold my life off the example he set and has called us to live. I can give you my personal life's story, I can tell you my personal experiences and I can tell you about the real life relationship I have with a someone who gave His life for me (and you). I am not perfect nor will I ever be. I would not even stoop to say that I call myself a good man. I am someone who loves the truth and loves to share it, in the end I hope you find it! Peace and blessings to you!

Even though I do believe in the existence of God. The Question weather I believe in God or not is rather irrelevant. If God exists, the real question should be "do you like God or not", "Do you believe Him to be a good God or Not" "Should I fear God or not". Otherwise the very idea of fearing, loving or living for someone or something that does not exist waists time of even debating. If you don't believe in God, this debate seems rather meaningless to have. More importantly, for those of the more factually minded, it should be common sense to realize that my profound belief in something does not constitute it's reality. Either i'm right in my belief (regardless of how/why I believe it) or i'm profoundly wrong. It takes more courage to consider fallacies in one's perceptions and beliefs than it does to turn a blind eye. If my belief cannot stand up to the truth, than I should not want to believe it. I would say the real question now is, what are the consequences of me being right or wrong in that belief?

My ultimate answer is yes. However there are questions that would need to be resolved before this question can even be brought up. First, would be to resolve the nature of Gods existence in the first place.

First of all we have a very limited understanding of existence, other than what we can determine with our five senses, and our ability to interpret those senses with calculation, logic and reason; we can determine a lot. However we are still limited to the nature of our existence.

The first assumption we are making is that God is bound and limited by his own creation, if we broke this down, this would also have to include space and time as we know it. What i'm speculating is there are levels of existence beyond our comprehension just as there are senses beyond ours. To support this possibility, all you need do is to ask one who born blind to describe the nature and essence of color, or sound from those never having heard a tune. We only argue that which we can comprehend. So I would only challenge one to comprehend one who is not limited by his/or her own creation. I would say that this would go hand in hand with what the Bible already says about Gods limitations (that a thousand years is like a day 2 Peter 3:8). We can manipulate, study and calculate the forces, rules and limitations all around us, which would only make sense since we were all born into these limiting forces. When we apply these limits to God, could He then still be considered God?
