    Atheists....wha... am I doing wrong...?

    I found some fungai filled mud yesterday and figured " this is it ". I wanted to hear some music and ran an electric charge over the mud, dumped a protein based solution in and asked for ANYONE to jump out of that goo and play me Nocturne in C sharp Minor.Nothing happened! What did I do wrong ? I compromised and asked for " Fer alyce " and nothing! Did I offend some amoeba ? I settled for " Boogey woogie blues " and still Nada'! I took my violin to the zoo and offered free lessons to any gorilla or monkey. NOT ONE TAKER! One of them kinda plucked at it a little but still nothing. Is it my approach or my demeanor ? I asked nicely. I moved on over to the fish tanks and reptile section and just asked for a simple back rub. Nothing.Do you think they sense Im a fish eater and are resentful? I mean Id be mad to if I found I char- grilled my cousins or something. Am I in need of a carbon based additive to in the fungai stuff to at least get someone to evolve out and sing Moriah Carey ?

    MAN: descended from apes, or created in god's image?

    i'm curious to know which age groups are more likely to believe one thing over the other.

    please just type "apes" or "god" and then your age. then simpler, the better.

    there's no need to point out that humans are a type of ape, or that humans did not evolve out of any of the EXTANT species of ape but rather share a common ancestor with them. ---- i didn't want to make the subject overly worded. that's the only reason why i over simplified by saying "descended from apes".

    Why is evolution wrong?

    I understand that this has been asked before, but I am curious to hear more answers.

    No, I am not pro creation, and I am not an evolutionist either. I am looking for some answers.

    Many people will say, well there are still monkeys around so why didn't they evolve with us? The reason is that there were too many monkeys, and they couldn't fit all in the trees and so the monkeys that were kicked out had to evolve to survive on land and eventually evolved into us. However, I hear there are loop holes to this theory.

    And I also feel that evolution exists now definately, if it did not before because of that butterfly that's wings changed color when factories started to produce polution that changed the area around them and they had to camophlage themselves.

    I also know that creation has a lot of faith related things.

    I wonder if we have it all wrong, and if neither stories/theories are correct and that God is up there shaking his head and laughing at us.

    I was born in a Christian household, I was loosely raised. Over a course of time however doubt came into my mind. I found myself challenging every religion at the age of 9. I found myself an outcast due to children teasing me and saying "you're going to hell when you die" or "I'm gonna laugh when I'm in heaven." For years I tried to find my place, not only in Christianity, but in all religions, but I found myself an outcast. I found the way of the agnostic, and it made sense to me, I had tried to lie to myself for years and say I'm Christian for years, but I had found the way that suited me best. Now I see people calling us lost, and hell-bound, but I couldn't convert to Christianity, it would be a lie to myself, it's not that its hard for me to do, it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to do.

    What is so hard to understand about the Da Vinci Code?

    I went to Barns & Noble today and picked up a copy of NewsMax magazine. Right there in big, bold, yellow letters it reads "The Da Vinci CON". Intrigued, I picked it up and read the article. Perhaps I read articles like these just to re-evaluate how ignorant people can be, I don't know. Either way, I still can't believe people are so blind.

    The Da Vinci Code is a book (now, also a movie). A simple story BASED around a THEORY that's been making rounds since scholars (not Dan Brown) found the Dead Sea scrolls during the 1940's. So for one, it may be Dan Brown's book and story but IT'S NOT HIS theory.

    Two, no where does Dan Brown claim that his book as fact. All it states is that descriptions of architect and paintings etc. are accurate. That's it!

    And finally, if people would actually LISTEN and PAY ATTENTION, they would understand that Dan Brown is very much a Christian. His FIRST book demonstrates that very clearly.

    So, please tell me what's so difficult to understand?

    Was Mary a "virgin" or did it get mistranslated in Greek?

    1. The virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14)

    This verse is part of a prophecy that Isaiah relates to King Ahaz regarding the fate of the two kings threatening Judah at that time and the fate of Judah itself. In the original Hebrew, the verse says that a "young woman" will give birth, not a "virgin" which is an entirely different Hebrew word. The young woman became a virgin only when the Hebrew word was mistranslated into Greek.

    This passage obviously has nothing to do with Jesus (who, if this prophecy did apply to him, should have been named Immanuel instead of Jesus).
