What do you believe is the truth? You have said a lot of confusing things, about the bible, and all sorts of things. It seems you think atheists are wrong, and upset with the church for creating atheists, as you believe that is how atheists exist. So you believe the bible is true? Or you believe aliens made life on earth? And/or you believe God created the universe?

I am curious what if they found the Universe is artificial, Sort of like the Matrix? Science finds out through an experiment that this and everything we see is a simulation.
This is not from a Christian stand point at all but could the earth be 6,000 years old then? If everything we see is a construct isn't in arbitrary?
Just something I have been wondering...
Mental masturbation while it might be entertaining rarely produces much fruit.

Thanks for being honest, I sincerely appreciate it. What exactly has lead you so strongly to that conclusion?

what about a fiery hole forming in the sky? isn't that a black hole? and a flying platform containing someone who "looked" like god, coming out of it? isn't that a spaceship? what's god look like? even the levites were not allowed to see god in the holy of holies. this is where i suspected the old testament was an egyptian book in disguise. the guy who "looked like" god coming out of the hole in the sky on a flying throne was someone who looked like atum, the god of creation. and atum, looked like an egyptian pharaoh. and the flying throne looked like a pyramid. something like this
ya know i watched an interesting science program on how the physicists now believe the universe was created by black holes, super massive black holes, to be precise. well if it was a means of conveyance for what/whoever that was that came out of one in ezekiel 1, i suspect there's alot more going on than you are willing to admit may even be possible, because you have only one part of a gigantic puzzle and you're not willing to consider anything else. just that one piece -- created no less, by the roman empire, so you could use it like a battering rod to keep the people from recognizing the science in ancient texts.edit on 14-8-2013 by undo because: (no reason given)

The most sophisticated information system that we know of did not just happen by chance. Sorry.
Even if it had(the chances are near 0), what then are the odds that this phenomenon took place on the perfect stage for carbon life(earth)?
And then we've just been lucky enough for these simple cells to live on and create brains and ankles and such? The engineering behind these things is unbelievable. These things will fail because we are not immortal beings yet, but I find it very far fetched that mutations ended up creating these insanely sophisticated things that we observe in nature. Who wrote these programs? It's a language by all definitions....

but it wasn't cultivated in babylon. it predated babylon. the sumerian-akkadian texts have the same stories, the only difference being that the main character of the flood story is not called noah (doesn't mean much since many old stories have characters who are not called by their real names but rather their titles, associated with what made them important in the first place), and the adam was called the adapa and the elohim were called the anunnaki. these are essentially the same stories.
for example, elohim can be traced etymologically back to alulim, the very first name on the sumerian kings list. it's actually a plural word.
the stories that came after the flood were almost entirely egyptian and babylonian including the story of jesus, who identified himself as the first pharaoh and the last pharaoh. and the references to Amen, which is sumerian Anu, the references to Hayah (the root word of jehovah), who was sumerian Ea (Enki) and of course, Enlil, who is the name of Anunnaki who was in charge of the planet. He owned the place and didn't like the humans Ea had created on it.
there's more than one flood in the flood passages in the bible, written by 3 different authors. one flood was global and resulted in the saving of the genomes of the various lifeforms on the planet. i theorize this was done by having samples of their dna and then when the creation passages open in genesis, you are seeing the re-creating and re-terraforming of the planet following a global cataclysm associated with the ice age and punctuated by a global flood. the other was not global but was very bad, and resulted in the saving of the royal barnyard, which amounted to 32 animals.edit on 14-8-2013 by undo because: (no reason given)

i can't take any low level antibiotics, they no longer work when i get an infection. only 1st tier stuff, like vancomycin, zithromycin and cipro. so obviously, something in my body mutated, which is an example of micro evolution.

Wrong conclusion. Your problem would imply that you get repeatedly infected by antibiotic resistant bacteria..
