How? To my knowlege it's only flawed when what we're trying to date is heavily tampered with. You can't really tamper with hundreds of thousands of rocks effectivley



Ah so God likes using contradictory evidence to his will as a means of explaining it. I understand now.

Yes, God likes to fool us to test our faith

So you are saying that God gave mankind 5 (maybe 6 ) senses, a brain apable of cognitive reasoning, free will and a thirst for knowledge... and he gave it all so that we may deny it completely and thereby prove our faith?

Faith is when you UTILIZE the tools given by God. Refusing to utilize these gifts, refusing to accept that which our senses tell us and instead considering HUMANLY CONTRIVED DOGMA is FAITH?

It is not faith in any way shape or form.. It is a complete and utter refusal to utilize the gifts God gave us.

I fear for you PN. How can you wilfully dumb yourself down.. how can you wilfully refuse to believe what your senses and intellect are saying? How can you believe in a creator, that creates so that we may ignore.. and by IGNORNING we prove our faith.

And HOW can you possibly state God's "likes" or "dislikes". What type of God intentionally lays traps so his creation may go to hell? I thought God only showed love and that Entrapment was the realm of the Devil.

Those things that you say we must deny are what separates humanity from the rest of the animal kingdom.. Does god want humans to act like humans or does he want them to be cattle who WILFULLY deny the gifts he has bestowed upon man.

I'm sorry PN. I too believe i have strong faith. But faith is not the ABSENCE of rational thought. That is a miserable lie that ALL salvation peddlers spread. Even the muslim clerics do it. THey want people to remain ignorant and illogical so that they may control you. Release your mind and you will cease to be a pawn in the vile games of the salvation peddlers.
Love for all, Hatred for none

When I post something as ridiculous as what I posted on this thread, I have to think that most people would think I'm bullshitting. Of course, this is the internet and you never know.
