Um, what facts is the hypothesis of God based on other than that things exist? Serious question.
There ARE certain facts that support the theory of the Big Bang, evolution, etc. We can see the universe expanding over time through data provided by telescopes. We can see the close relationships between species through DNA, chromosomes, and anatomical analysis. Science tries every known method of disproving a hypothesis before calling it a theory. I'll buy that there's a certain amount of faith that science is doing it right. But it's wayyyy less required faith than hypothesizing God's existence.
There are scientist who have written books, and there are tons of facts supporting Intelligent Design. Why have you not heard of it? Maybe because it is not allowed to be taught. People who believe in God do not disagree with DNA or anything of that nature. And as for relationships between DNA if it is designed out of simmular material it does not mean we all are descendents of a worm....... I think it is unfair that scientist who claim to be so "open" minded won't even allow it to be researched................why is that? There are cases where supposed missing links were forged for years before being exposed as hoaxes.........why is that? I think it is because they want their theory to be fact so badly they were willing to lie.
I guess we will have to disagree here.............I think it takes more faith to believe we all decended like inbread hillbillies...........the family tree running straight down.
LooK Sarah, I can tell you books to read, and things to look up. But I have a feeling you would just dismiss them. I only jump in here because I see a negative vibe here about people of faith. We have to prove there is a God, though you cannot prove there is not. You cannot prove Evolution either. But you expect me to give proof? Faith is about something much deeper than I can explain to you. And if you want iron clad proof I don't have it. I just know what I have experianced, and what I believe, and I don't remember telling anyone here that they have to prove why they are non believers.
I'm not being flippant, but what if I told you that flying elephants exist. They are usually purple with pink spots. But I can't really prove they exist.
What would you say?
Put down the bottle.
See, Matt? *laughs*
Curious to me how I am to beleive we decend from animals that still exhist.........what happened to the monkeys? Did they say thanks but no thanks, I think I will pass..........we are supposed to decend so how is there more than one species?
Law of science........ matter cannot come from nothing. But that is what you ask me to beleive. That all things come from nothing. And that a series of accidents turned into a world that pretty much works in harmony........so much so it tends to lend to a design of some sort. All things complex and a wonder in itself. There is your flying elephant if you ask me........
If this happened we should be finding those fossils everywhere...............not just a very scant skelleton that could very well be forged since many have been in the past. Why just one found? Seems fishy to me...........or in this case a great deal of monkey buisness.
