What do you think of this:

Science is defined as “the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena.” Science is a method that mankind can use to gain a greater understanding of the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination. However, a Christian’s belief in science should never be like our belief in God. A Christian can have faith in God and respect for science, as long as we remember which is perfect and which is not.

Our belief in God is a belief of faith. We have faith in His Son for salvation, faith in His Word for instruction, and faith in His Holy Spirit for guidance. Our faith in God should be absolute, since when we put our faith in God, we depend on a perfect, omnipotent, omniscient Creator. Our belief in science should be intellectual and nothing more. We can count on science to do many great things, but we can also count on science to make mistakes. If we put faith in science, we depend on imperfect, sinful, limited, mortal men. Science throughout history has been wrong about many things, such as the shape of the earth, powered flight, vaccines, blood transfusions, and even reproduction. God is never wrong.

Truth is nothing to fear, so there is no reason for a Christian to fear good science. Learning more about the way God constructed our universe helps all of mankind appreciate the wonder of creation. Expanding our knowledge helps us to combat disease, ignorance, and misunderstanding. However, there is danger when scientists hold their faith in human logic above faith in our Creator. These persons are no different from anyone devoted to a religion; they have chosen faith in man and will find facts to defend that faith.

I usually take my family (Wife w/ 2 kids) to California and stay at Del Mar Beach in Camp Pendleton. In 2011 I was thinking about going down to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico and staying in the Light House Beach houses on Coast Guard Air Station Borinquen. Can anyone that has been in the vicinity tell me what it's like and if it's worth the travel money?

If I put all parts of an airplane that it needs to be...an airplane... in an airport hanger in random order on the ground... and lock it up for 2 million years...when someones opens the hanger door 2 million years from now, will i have a plane assembled?...

Tune in tomorrow for the answer

“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”

because they do not want to be held accountable for their actions if they were to stand before an all Righteous all Judging God?

...what are your thoughts?

I answered a question on another page with this but wanted to see what you all thought.

If a man murders a woman and she is pregnant, they charge him with the murder of the woman AND the murder of the unborn child.

...but there are abortionists that say it is NOT life and some courts actually agreeing...and the worst being Partial Birth Abortion. What I don't want to hear is "becasue she didn't voluntarily kill her own baby".

Like that makes it right...I'm sure the unborn baby didn't volunteer to die.

How can you justify this?

In one of Paul's letters he claims to be a descendant of what tribe?

I'm not talking from the criminal activity because that will always be there...but spiritually

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go,

And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Why or why not?

Matthew 18:2-4

Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Mark 10:15

Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.

...unless you become as little children...

Children Forgive unconditionally

Children love unconditionally

Children do not judge

Your thoughts

I answered a post with the headline that I wrote above.

Ya know, my 7 yr-old daughter asked me, "Daddy, how can people not believe in or love God? It is the easiest thing to do."

The quiet, astute thoughts of a believing child right?

I have often, since then pondered that question. Then I look at the answers that some people post about God. Like they are offended or something when someone brings Him up (In a religious & Spirituality section).

I see it. I don't understand it...but I want you to know that every night my daughter prays her heart and says (word for word), "God I pray for those people who don't believe in you"

Heaven is real...sadly, so is hell...the Bible calls it eternal torment. You should be afraid. Because even the roughest and toughest will know too late...and weep

What are your thoughts...I already know how the ones mentioned above will answer...what about the rest of you.

1 Corinthians 1:18-31

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

... that even just 48 (of 300) Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled in one person, i.e Jesus.

There has to be something that would convince you...what is it?

Can someone of the JW faith please tell me the realationship between Michael the Arch Angel and Jesus?

I am definately not picking a fight, It has never been explained to me by an actual believer of the JW faith. Is Jesus... Michael?

I know it doesn't matter to some but to others like me, it is pretty cool. Like on me and my wife's anniversary this year it was, 5 6 7. But 777! You Brothers and Sisters in Christ tell me why.

We can date manuscripts from the Bible back to well over 2000 years ago (and thats just the New Testement). If there were things written in the Bible that man in that time could have never known...Scientific things...things that weren't even found out by our scientific minds until hundreds or even thousands of years later...say quite a number of things. Would you believe? Please explain.
