h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Although I am a Christian, I do doubt the whole God theory. You do make some excellant points that make me doubt the Big Bang theory, however, if God were the creator of all things, then where did he come from? Did he just appear? And your theory is based from the Bible. Who is to say that the Bible is correct? It was obviously not written at the beginning of time. So anything that happened in the Bible is mere speculation; just what people THOUGHT probably happened. I believe that religions were formed when people realized that they had no idea where they came from. These people said..."well, since I don't know where I came from, its probably something bigger than me. Lets call this thing...God." There is really no proof that religion exists. Life is just one big coincidence.

Even though I am not a Christian I tend to agree with you here. It's too full of holes.

Ste

Thank you.

S'alright.

Sorry to break it to you, but you are not a christian from the information provided by you in your post. God has always been, and always shall be. you are not thinking deep enough. He has always been because he first thought of and created the flow of time itself. But of course you don't even think to question where matter came from either...

And as for factual errors, nobody has ever given concrete evidence to support that (besides, of course, slight addidtions or subtractions as the bible has been copied overr the years, which has been corrected very much by the finding of earlier, and so more reliable, documents). Factual errors that peoplle claim are in the bible are nearly always vague.

Not to go on into a full apologetic though, here is what I am trying to say. Obviously Chrisitanity cannot be proven 100% (the only things that can are some things in math), but compared to every other theory man has created in terms of "religion" or absence of "religion", it is quite absurd to suggest that christianity is not the best theory (and don't take theory to say that it does not have tremendous evidence supporting it). Although some things in the bible may seem "unbelievable" perhaps to you, can you disprove it? Even in the case of such things that require quite some faith to believe (which there is actually much less of than some would like you to believe), cannot that be also proven provided that Christianity as a whole has already been sufficiently proven? Believe me when I say that Christianity is not a faith that requires you to shut off your brain and never question the world or universe again, but it is a fith that challenges you to explore every truth of the universe can be proven, because in my experience nothing raises my faith in Christianity than trying to disprove it and always failing in the attempt. And don't think I'm here to "preach" to you about all of the things you should do, because I do not mean these things in a hostile way, and I have only said them because it is the best thing one person can do for another (quite the contrary would be to insult and put words in other's mouths as I'm sure this post will lead others to do, unfortunately).

Err... very sorry about the double post. It was an accident.
