Never seen you before Kai, but you're cool. There used to be a time where I too would defend my Christianity here in EM, but I grew tired of being called ignorant or stupid and I rarely ever get in these topics anymore. I haven't paid much attention to how your beliefs and mine align exactly but it's cool to see someone standing up for what they believe in, at least. So kudos to you.
As for silly things happening to people, read Ecclesiastes 9:11.
WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH NATURAL RESOURCES. We have the technology to produce and deliver resources all over the world enough to provide for it many times over. It is human greed that has prevented proper distribution of such.
God wrote the laws of science. Better to worship the creator than the created.
The earth is not even full yet. God could easily make other planets inhabitable in the future. Additionally, Adam might not have thought that there would be humans all over the earth when there was only 1 of him, but here we are.
For evolution: The fossil record proves creation. A View of Life states: “Beginning at the base of the Cambrian period and extending for about 10 million years, all the major groups of skeletonized invertebrates made their first appearance in the most spectacular rise in diversity ever recorded on our planet.”—(California, 1981), Salvador E. Luria, Stephen Jay Gould, Sam Singer, p. 649.
Paleontologist Alfred Romer wrote: “Below this [Cambrian period], there are vast thicknesses of sediments in which the progenitors of the Cambrian forms would be expected. But we do not find them; these older beds are almost barren of evidence of life, and the general picture could reasonably be said to be consistent with the idea of a special creation at the beginning of Cambrian times.”—Natural History, October 1959, p. 467.
About wars: Look in the next couple days for a topic called "Why Does God Allow Suffering?"
I dont associate myself with gay people because im my own person. I like intelligence, if its embodied through a female then cool; through a male, then also cool. Through a trans, cool. Regardless, I dont limit my preferences by sex. Although, I do prefer a nicely toned, intelligent, woman.
If he's going to smite me it's not because I don't believe him, it's because in 9th grade I went to a church dressed as the devil on a dare, during mass. Communion, no less.
