What's the point of your post?? To make yourself feel better about your lack of faith, or is it to make you feel bigger than me? If either is the case, I'm sorry that you have that low a level of self esteem...

I've never been one to hide my beliefs on this board or anywhere else in my life. In my house, we pray for the sick and afflicted, pray for the government and our country, and pray for strength to continue on each day. We also thank God for all that He's given us...the food on the table, the shelter above our heads, and the air we breathe.

I guarantee that I'm not the only on this board to feel as I do.
So no evolution? God just made people?

What about dinosaurs? How do we account for those?

And try to get off the kick that I an trying to make myself 'feel bigger' than you. I have simply been asking you questions, because much of what you have been posting is foreign to me. My self esteem is functioning fine, and I apologize if yours is not.

As for faith, I possess a very strong faith. It's just that my faith does not come with a silly book or churches, and I interpret my faith on my own terms.

Kind of cancels out the faith thing.

I feel the same way about our Lord and savior.

Im not knocking the faithful ,its the mission by some that have dinosaurs on the Arc next to the elephant pen . Dinosaurs is a new one for me,since my early years Id never had this taught to me in any form or fashion .The first time a museum has been used to set a coarse by the faithful just has my curiousity, I mean how far are they wanting to change our views about Evolution ,if its to change text books then we can all start getting worried.

It would be so much simpler, if everyone just agreed with what I say the Bible says.

Seems to me that a museum is the appropriate place for displaying old, discarded things. Like creation "science".

Belief we came from nothing doesn't strike most "geniuses" as wacky... Live and let live.

The "Book of Genesis" differs greatly among the Christians, does it?

It doesn't even matter. My god is better than your god because I have a book that says so. Also says your book is full of crap. If you challenge me, you're a devil-horned heathen (it says that too)!

The Bible says that He has always existed: " . . . even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" (Psalm 90:2). And, "Your throne is established from of old; Thou art from everlasting" (Psalm 93:2). Quite simply, God has no beginning and no end. So, where did God come from? He didn't. He always was.

And that doesn't strike you as "wacky?"
