Troglodyte,Sheesh, we can never progress if we never question popular theory.
I\'m not sure that I believe 100% in the theory of evolution, but if that is the way it happened I believe that God was the one that got it all started. The probability of amino acids forming in primordial ooze is really, extremely low. The experiments done on primordial ooze created in the lab usually produces satisfyable results, but then again most will agree that the conditions under which the prmordial ooze was way back when can not be reproduced today.
Who\'s to say that evolution wasn\'t God\'s plan of creation?
Up until a few months ago I thought the exact same thing. I figured that evolution
could be true and if it was, then that is just the way God made man. But after thinking about it, and learning more about it, I really don\'t believe in the Evolution Theory anymore.
This quote sums up what I think of Evolution quite nicely:
"It is held by some that Adam was not the first man upon this earth, and that the original human being was a development from lower orders of the animal creation. These, however, are the theories of men. The word of the Lord declares that Adam was \'the first man of all men\' (Moses 1:34), and we are therefore in duty bound to regard him as the primal parent of our race. It was shown to the brother of Jared that all men were created in the beginning after the image of God; and whether we take this to mean the spirit or the body, or both, it commits us to the same conclusion: Man began life as a human being, in the likeness of our heavenly Father."
juslightI think it\'s funny that religious people can produce "Scientific evidence" that supports the creation theory that someone HAD to make us a few thousand years ago, but can turn around and say "GOD?.... Oh, he\'s been around forever. He\'s Eternal." They fail to theorize about how God was created, "No one created him... He just IS!!!"
God was created just like we were created. He was born on a planet probably a lot like this one, lived a worthy life, did some mandatory things that needed to be done (Baptism, marriage in the temple), got to the highest degree in the Celestial Kingdom, then worked hard for probably hundreds of thousands of years, then poof, he\'s a god. Obviously that is a simplified version of how it really is, but you get the general idea of what my religion believes. Ha, there goes that argument about how people "fail to theorize about how God was created."
Deadly HamsterIm not gonna sit here and start questioning religions and such ... but one thing that always bothers me about my religion ( i am catholic ( sp? ) ) is how 2000 years ago god appeared to all these people and told them what to do.. well did god decide to sit on his ass for 2000 years?
After Christ died and resurrected, his church died out. Most, if not all, of the of the leadership of his church was killed; completely wiping his church off the face of the planet. After that, many churches formed with their own variations to Christ\'s church. God was just waiting for the perfect time to bring his church back. God and Christ returned to earth in the 1820s to restore the true church. After the second coming, Christ will live with us on Earth once again. And it\'s not like God is just sitting there doing nothing. There are other worlds just like ours (except theirs are a lot less evil. Our world was the only world evil enough to crucify Jesus Christ). In order for religion to be established on those thousands, if not millions, or even billions of God\'s other worlds, Christ had to go down to those worlds too and tell them about how he died for their sins. So give them a break. They are busy people.
ddarylThere may be an entity out there, but I GUARENTEE YOU there is no organized religion worthy.
How can you be so sure? Have you done research on every religion on this planet? Where they originated from? What their beliefs are?
