Ironically, after the storm, every part of the city was flooded except the French District. That cracked me up.
What persifcaly does that have to do with ID? ID is stupid since its just an idiotic misconseption of the diffences between faith and sciance.

Only threw ignorance can omniptance be opposed to free will. The Christan consept of god, includes omnisciances, As in Knowing the outcome to every action, exvery desion. All Knolage.
Hence GOD already knows what they would do and for them to do it it, would have had to have been his will.
Haveing the choise doesnt conflict with god already knowing the outcome :)

The natural disasters all boil down to the adam and eve part of genesis, their sins lead us into earth as it is now, where we can feel pain. I will never deny that I am a chrstian I will be for the rest of my life, if i'm wrong? so what? I'd prefer to ascend into heaven knowing I believed in god than to not believe and suffer in hell for it. Also animals are gods creatures too. They dwell in heaven also.
HERATIC! BURN HERE.
If we were in the middle ages that would be the responce to your final sentance :)
ANIMALS are lesser beings, NOT made in gods image. animals in the bible are vary cleary said to have no SOLE. hence they do NOT go to hevern. Its supposed to be your religion, shoulnt you know this stuff?
PLus, you waste your life preying to a dieaty that doesnt exist, i have a happy and full life.
Death = end.
You wasted yours, i used mine. I think i come out better thankyou very much :)

It's not a question of who is right and wrong. It's what you believe. My dad before he died used to get whispers in his ear whilst walking to work and just told him to sit at a bench, and he looked at a statue right next to him and it had a phrase of great importance.
He also had a push to talk this woman, who was suffering with extreme depression, with my mum aswell they helped her through it for about a year, but she took ill and couldn't face the world anymore and took her life :( but that thing knew that pushed my dad to help her, gave her another year of her life with her son.
.... im not actaly sure if your seriosly trying to use that as evidance or justifcation for a god... i mean Comeine.. i dont think that even justifes a responce...

I'm afraid no amount of scientific proof will take me away from my religion although I do believe in the creation theory by darwin.
Then your already away from your religion aint you.
You can belive what you will. But the Truth remains perminat. And The God of the gaps is slowy dieing as i speak :)

A few points: one day is not 24 hours universally, one of saturns days is 100 earths days i believe? so the people who say the creationism is a fad I believe are pretty dumb.
Actaly, yes it is. You see, Hours also get longer, not just the days. a hour is a 24th of a day you see.
So 24 hours on satten would equal a 100 days here..

Edit: to redstratocas, natural disasters are just natural, if god wanted to punish people he wouldn't do it in this life. He'd just send them off to hell...
But god made the earth, he directly influcnces it in christanty. God would have had to have willed the desaster for it to happen. else he could have prevneted it, in his benvolence "/
Quote:
I understand why people choose not to believe in god, there's so much pain the world and suffering, but alot of it is self bought on, ie world war 2 where the germans decided to bully, they bought murder and death to their own kind!
Your aware thats one of the reasons that DISPROVES GOD.
God is Omniptant
God is Benvolnet.
Therefor there cannot be evil or suffering.
There is suffering. Hence no god.

Going off track I think that the people who fought for world war 1 and 2 and all of the other battles that have happened in our history, theese people must have had somthing guiding them, to face the terror they had to face, you must have had to have a heart of gold.
So gods guideing people to go kill each other .... Wow how nice he is....

Thats actually another thing that confused me about some religion. Some people (not everyone, probably not even most) believe that god controls everything, such as weather, and he uses it to punish us. Some people even believe 9/11 was a warning from god. What confuses me about that kind of thing is that if he controls everything like that, why cant he control us from doing the wrong thing?
Again, that isnt everyone, just a question Ive always had twards people who believe that.
Well religion caused 9/11

Yes, random I know. Just reminded me of that.
In the bible that kinda happend, you see mosis came back with 10, then noticed his followers worshiping another god, since they thoght hed died. So he then made half of them kill there familys as punishment after droping the stone tablets in outrage.
