Hi i'm new to this but really want to add to your discussion on the topic.
I am a Christian, I love life and GOD... In my opinion God created the world in 7 days. I know what you're thinking...There is absolutely no logical way that the world was created by one "man" in 7 days.And that's true, FOR MAN. God is no "Man"!!! He's God, and it's in my opinion that the days at the begining of creation were longer than our present day times. It wasn't untill like ancient Roman/Greek times that "Time" (hours of the day) was "invented".
I know someone said at the begining of this forum that you can't use the excuse that "God exists because the bible says so". I think that that is a load of bull. Why can't you? Name one good reason why... Here's one why you can- Because archaeologists have proved its truth and accuracy... 99.9% of the Bible is FACT!!! The only mistake in the bible is the misspelling of a man's name. I don't see why you can't say that "God exists because the bible says so"
Also, on the GOOD v EVIL issue...Definately there is a battle raging around us not just in the physical sense but psychologically, metaphysically and spiritually..."YOU WILL NEVER FIND TRUTH AND HAPPINESS LOOKING FOR IT IN THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND" Honestly, the devil is the master deciever, he seeks out to steal, kill and destroy every living creature god created. He plays with your head and makes the entire world belive that the best place to go when you die is hell because there will be massive parties down there... I can tell you it won't happen...Why you ask? Well Jesus conquered death and when he was in Hell for a "millisecond" (actual time unknown) what he saw was sooooo terrible, like the charicatures of hell, it will be firery but there won't be parties, it willk be awefull...It will be HELL!!!
I pose a question for any willing to reply--- If you believe in God while you're on earth, you will go to heaven. If what i'm saying is wrong and the only thing that happens to us when we die is our bodies will rot then what harm is it in believing in god? You live a respectable life, honouring those around you and being happy with you life, believing in a God that you won't even know doesn't exist. Once you die THAT'S IT!!! you don't get a second chance... Why not believe and follow Christ, after all he is the ONLY person to have Conquered death and the Devil!
