I know this post is not aimed at me but im gonna reply anyway
Because in validating God's plan through their choices they chose/choose to go wherever they're going.
If it's a plan, it's not a choice. He either planned the outcome or he didn't. Stop trying to have everything your way. god makes those who are blind, blind- god makes those who are deaf, deaf or he doesn't do anything. Whatever happens to man is from a natural source or it isn't. You cannot have both.
god says in the OT he is the one that makes people blind, deaf, dumb etc. As such you can't now say people make themselves blind, deaf or dumb. If he has a plan he does, if he doesn't- he doesn't. End of.
With God all things are possible.
You said this but then........
Ha, good point. No analogy is perfect, but then, he couldn't drag...
He couldn't?? Obviously he could, after all, with god all things are possible.
Well Einstein said energy has always existed, but E=mc^2 so no biggie. Anyway, which is more probable to you? You see how close to the wire of believe or don't we are?
Forget Einstein. What we have here is one guy saying there was a creator, and one guy asking who created the creator. If the creator wasn't created why would anything else have to be? It's the most circular of all puzzles, and one which has never been answered.
Ha, so you can suggest improvements??? I don't think it's that simple - you have to look at the environment in which we function - including what we are made of - considering we don't know everything about our surroundings you might find that a bit difficult
Don't build a tower from the roof down, build it from the ground up. You might not understand what i'm saying- nevermind.
I can think of mabny improvements: Remove wisdom teeth- we no longer eat food which would require wisdom teeth. Of course that's just one example. Another i can think of is women. Did you know, 1 in 3 first time pregnancies ends in miscarriage? I would reinforce the womans interiors so not so many children die. Wouldn't that seem like the smartest of ideas to a god who apparently, according to many other christians, is gods entire motive? We have many many faults. You will never see them if you already see humans as perfectly functioning. Even minor things like a 'blind spot' shows mans inherent weakness.
Not really, with faith comes evidence.
You know that's not true, so i wonder why you say it. If you do believe that to be true i wonder how hard it would be for me to convince you im an alien.
The Bible is a historically accurate text.
Who says? We can show beyond reasonable doubt that most of your bible came from the Sumerians. You work on verbally handed down texts, multi-translated and highly speculative to begin with material. If you consider that accurate i wonder how hard it would be for me to convince you im an alien.
Many places and events have been corroborated via archeaology, history, and geography.
Yeah..... Here is the religious analysis: Garden of eden location: Sumeria. It all started, in accordance with your own texts, in Sumeria. I think their texts deserve reading considering they were here first and foremost.
But of course you do not look at the history, just your own opinion. That's where science and religion differ.
there was a man called Jesus, He was the Son of God
According to a book written over 2000 years ago. According to a book written 20 years ago we all come from monkeys. If we cant even show that as true 20 years ago what makes you think there's any truth in something written 2000 years ago? Let me guess........ because the book says so?
Put your faith in Him, and you will inherit eternal life.
Needless to say, some of us are not so easily bought. You need to live forever, fair enough. I am more than happy if i live 80 years and that will do me fine. I do not need to have faith and i dont need eternal life. We get the cards we're dealt with.
