Life is a process of different chemical formations which all things come to evolve in stages to what we see to day. Life is not about humans alone but everything that exhibit one or more characteristics of what fall under bio phenomenon. Why earth existence is by chance after forming from the cosmic dust through chaotic process involving gaseous stages before turning into solid to form different universe bodies. Earth happened to fall within the Goldilocks zone where life building blocks or chemicals can be propagated at the right condition that gave rise to different organism that evolves into other forms. You exist and die like the animals you eat on daily bases or plants if you are a vegan.

That is reality not fairy tale. It is observable unlike religion and god!
Is this the best you can come up with. I won't give you reasons for my believe in the existence of God but I will be picking reasons from your post.
Who created the chemicals or you just believe that the chemical just created itself.

So slavery and the elimination of millions of native Americans are part of Christian values?
Sure it is. The first British slave ship that came to America with African slaves was called "The good Ship Jesus" after all. When good Americans condemned the cruelty of the slave masters the slave masters said they have "A religious right" to do so and they went on giving verses in the Bible to justify their actions. Verses like;
Leviticus 25:44-46 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may
also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can
bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.
Exodus 21:7-11 and even in the new testament 1 peter 2:18, Ephesians 6:5, 1 Timothy 6:1&2 etc. They used the Bible to justify slavery. Christianity was literary tortured into the minds of black Americans and Africans before they pass down the religion to their children(The same can be said of Islam). Little wonder why Chris Rock said "If you're a black Christian, you have a real short memory"…

Well Emmalot121, Is that the "Strong christian values" you speak about?

And where did the cosmic dust come from.
Where did consciousness come from
Good question. From the observable universe and their calculation we know it comes from the first known explosion that brings about exotic particles and it took place hundred of billions of years ago from a singular point. After the explosion the universe expand and as it cool down different particles formed the comic dust, the building block of the things in the universe. This is reality as the LHC and other space programs have been able to prove them with proofs all rather facts.

would that include Ethiopian Christians, cuz historically Ethiopian church was one of the earliest church ever recorded, even before Christianity started spreading to western Europe?

Second point are you assuming all slaves in history were just African Americans? cuz i don't get how an American's interpretation of the bible in respect to his country's history pertains to Africans who were colonized?

You see, people like him believe America is a cesspool of fornication and depraved debauchery. We all learn how to perform home abortions in the 5th grade, for our final graduation exam, they force us to have homosexual sex, and by the time we enter college, we're expected to have done seven different kinds of drugs, at least. Because of science. And feminism. There's so much sin in this country, the air just smells like brimstone all the time, especially when it rains. And global warming is the direct result of America's increasing proximity to hell.

That's what he meant. Modern day Sodom and Gomorrah (didn't I just say this, plaetton? Like, just on the last page?)

You see, atheism like feminism put you on 'indifference scale', meaning that, it makes you feel indifferent about your believe e.g. A Godly wife would go for a divorce because she has an escape route in feminism, that is she can shift grounds to satisfy her wish and still maintain her conscience. Though I may claim religious, but my heart via atheism, becomes indifferent of my religion.
This single act that I tag indifference scale is also applicable to atheism i.e. I can cheat, fornicate, kill and then have my conscience. Tell me the morals I can have if God doesn't exist? It means I can hide my moral decardence under atheism and still live a normal life, the same way a muslim can kill christians and call it Jihad. Once God is taken out of one's mind, doing good becomes voluntary and an art of free will. sad

You make some sense but this is where a lot of folks get it wrong. Whether religious or not, doing good has always been voluntary and an act of free will. You make it seem like being a christian makes one a better person, wrong. History has shown over and over again that the greatest crimes perpetuated against humantity and mankind were committed under the guise of religion.

If believing in God makes one a better person, this world would be a better place, pastors wouldn't commit sin so blatantly and hide behind the scriptures, and Nigerian would be Paradise on earth. Alas this isn't so. How ironic is it that the most well-rounded, balanced, and morally upright people that abound are typically atheist? This is so because outside of religion, right and wrong exists, good and bad exists. These are principles that are real and people live by but you do not understand this because your brain is so close-minded that you refuse to understand that good people can exist OUT of religion.

Open your mind bro.

I don't need Google. I studied American history since I was in primary school. And one thing every American child knows is the famous "separation of church and state" coined by one of the fathers of the country, and author of the Declaration of Independence.... Thomas Jefferson. Who was disgusted by the vagaries and inconsistencies of Christianity. Very vocal about it, he was.

Do you know why those colonists fled from Europe? Religious persecution for their beliefs. They were determined that religion would have absolutely nothing to do with their new government.

So, no. America is not, was never, and never will be, a Christian country. In fact, the Treaty of Tripoli signed and passed unanimously by the Senate in 1796, says just that, in blunt English:

"The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."


Maybe you should take a look at Google.
It only needs little analogy, you can only try to erect a wall of separation of to things that walk hand-in-hand.

What caused the explosion and what were the right conditions. What exploded?
The explosion was caused by unstable nature of activities within it. The right condition is the particular point in time when the different chemicals forms from the old exotic particles went through processes that give rise to another. For example, water is the combination of 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atoms of oxygen. What exploded was a powerful unstable singular dimension.

blym4real.... The big bang isn't an "explosion" in the classical definition...in fact "big bang" was an insult given to the theory by steady-state theorist fred hoyle....
It was now adopted as a sort of "in your face" when converging evidences supported an expansion of the universe from a singularity.
Everything said to exist(including space and time) were traced to being once emerged from a singularity(an immensely dense and small state)..
I could go on but I need to know if you understand any of this or not...or might I direct you to a series of simplistic videos explaining the theory?

Except you are thinking like a typical atheists who assume that every person who believes in a creator are less intellectual than you guys. I will really assume you have identified problems with the explanation you gave, in addition to no explanation you gave me.
Your explanation failed to explain where those materials that exploded came from, neither did it explain what conditions caused them and where the conditions that caused them originated from.

About reality and evidence of occurrence of such explosion, you can not possibly tell me that is a prove. No body recorded or observed the formation of earth so how is that a prove. Also no-body has been able to put up a hypothesis on this issue and observed it in the laboratory either.

Get one thing clear though, my acceptance of the existence of a creator is purely a belief and I recognise that. But you should also accept that you acceptance of no Creator is also a belief and has got noting to do with science.

That said, for your explanation of earth formation to stand you really need to think about this six points
1. Cosmic evolution: You need to explain how time and space came to be, because without time and space where then did the big bang happen and you proof is really a lie.
2. Chemical evolution: You really need to prove how high elements i.e metals and others originated from hydrogen, if you can not fill in this point then what chemicals exploded. Remember chemical reactions need catalysts, and hydrogen on its on can not cause such explosion.
3.Stellar and planetary evolution: no body has documented the observation of star formation nor planet formation. And if you explanation is true then considering the trillions of stars we should have observed the formation of one.
4. Organic evolution: No laboratory in the world has observed the formation of life from non-living thing, evolutionists and even atheists them self have no clue on how consciousness evolved to its level today.
5.Macro-evolution: Assuming for some reason the above 4 occurred without a creator, no body or lab have observed the change from kind of animal to another. Believe they have really tried to get this done but still noting.
6. Micro-evolution: Lastly, all the things said and claimed by evolutionists and atheists has been based on this one factor. The truth about the matter is calling this micro-evolution is delusional, this is simply Variation and they are observed. However, a life form can only produce its kind, people often use zebra and horse as a prove this can lead to macro-evolution but this simply a lie. A horse and a zebra can interbreed which makes them same kind, just like a dog and a wolf. But this is not the problem humans and other primates can not interbreed, so how (you should know what I am getting at).

Also remember that most of these kinds that can interbreed often end up with non fertile offsprings. Now they use fossil as prove of these series of events both fossils can not prove that these animals had offsprings and proves nothing.

So basically this cosmic explosion is been proved on lie noting more. Please accept it as a belief and that will sound reasonable because there is no proof.
I welcome your reply any time though.

When you split an atom(a particle) you will have another particles and when you split the other particles you have another through a very extreme processes.

Oh Yes, I will give you prove, a lot of it.

Do you even need to ask of Isaac Newton when there are other facts of scientists believing God everywhere?. The first astronauts on the moon even read the bible book of Genesis chapter 1 on the moon immediately landing there when it struck them what was described in the bibble about the beginning was the situation on the moon.

Back to Isaac Newton.

Isaac Newton literally researched Physics with the bible side-by-side and even hinted when Jesus Christ may return using advanced calculus (maths). Of course this's information modern day science don't want you to know, but history will.

Isaac Newton religious views. Details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Isaac_Newton

Isaac Newton predict world will end in 2060. Details: http://opentheword.org/2013/10/16/sir-isaac-newton-predicted-world-would-end-in-2060-ad/

Find the biography of Isaac Newton and read it. I've done so. Or better help yourself with google. You may begin by searching "did Isaac Newton believe in God?". Hope you get help.

Ok, This is nothing but hoax. Perhaps you think everyone is as dumb as you. Newton never used "advanced mathematics" (and calculus is not advanced to me) to get 2060. He just added 1260 to 800 AD and he got 2060, and he wasn't even sure of the date. Perhaps you should read with common sense before posting rubbish here. This is not sunday school where i.diots believe everything, ok?

Okay....so the original singularity is not understood....the expansion that led to the universe is(to a substantial degree)...
Hence the expansion is regarded as the creation of the universe...
If you have a balloon and make two dots on it with a marker and then inflate it....those points keep moving further and further...
This analogy is an example to try to portray the expansion of a 3-dimensional plane in which two cardinal locations never converge but keep moving away from one another...
Looking into space...we observe an example of this kind of expansion analogy by the red-shift(farthest visible light) of far away galaxies..
Now....lets say you asked someone who wasn't there to witness you blow the balloon with air and asked him what indicated it ever being inflated..
He'd tell you that when the balloons contents are examined air or a gas is neccessary to inflate it...
So how do we know an expansion took place?
If the universe emerged from such an immensely dense state we should be able to still observe the heat change or radiation around any point of the universe...
Hence we discovered we are saturated by a cosmic microwave background.
Should I continue? do you understand all these?
