INTERESTING FACT

So when the night outspread over Ibrahim, he saw a star; he said, “This is my Lord.” But when the star set [in the morning,] he said, ”[This cannot be my Lord because it has passed away,] I do not like the transitory [gods].”

[On the next night,] when he saw the moon rising, he said, “This is my Lord.” But when the moon set he said, “If my Lord had not guided me, then I shall surely be of (adh-dhaliyn) the people who have gone astray.”

[In the morning,] when Ibrahim saw the sun rising, he said, “This must be my Lord [because] this is greater [than the star and the moon!]” But when the sun set, he said, “O my people, surely I am free from what you associate [with Allah.] I have sincerely turned myself to Him who originated the heavens and the earth, and I am not one of the polytheists.”

when puts you in trouble what do you do? i think you dance in joy.

Its a great thought.Some may think as evil is the absence of god,then why is he[GOD] not trying to be present everywhere.But this point of view is not right.Even though the sun shine so brightly,during the time of a solar eclipse,moon covers the sun,preventing the light from reaching the earth.In evil's case god is like the sun's rays.he tries to reach us.But if we have something which is not good maybe a quality{MOON],his presence wont reach us.

Officialy I am undecided on the topic of a "god" however I find it extremely dificult to understand how most religious people are so closed minded. They are quick to believe in a higher being, without a shed of real proof, just the accounts writen of free will by mortal men, (some stories of which are so bizzare, if a modern person were to claim the same circumstances, they would be admitted to a hospital) then translated through the ages. Yet they are extremely un-willing to believe that we could be the creation of sheer luck. My point is that over the course of 4.5B years anything could have happened, even the rarest of phenomonon. The only way I can conceive that god created all that exsists (again i stress the term "I can conceive") is if god is the sun, and I only humour this idea for the following reason; it has been speculated that the earth was bellowed out of the sun some 4.5B years ago in the form of a hot burning mass, it then cooled and eventualy formed into what we call earth, thus creating everything in known existance at the era the bible was authored in its various components.

all you christians out there might hate me now but those are just my beliefs

personnaly i think that god is just a figment of our imagination i mean we think greek and egyptian mythology is just a load of nonsense and they think exactly the same thing about ours so i think that god and jesus are just another bunch of myths

The Holy Bible is such a magnificent book, and Christianity such a perfect concept, Plato nor Einstein could have made it up if they had tried..they weren't intelligent enough...what does that tell you?

I thought this was science...

wake up people you're lives are not meaningless, you did'nt come from nothing you have a creator and there is an afterlife.

EVERYONE READ "CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD" Neale Donald Walshe

I really enjoyed reading everyone's posts and listening to each one's thoughts on these matters. :) I'm a christian and i'm glad that so many of my brothers and sisters in Christ have stepped up and defended their faith to be able to share it with the others here. Thank GOD for your hearts and i pray that you'll be filled with the knowledge of His will.

To Jeff: you have done a great job, brother. You have been gentle and kind yet straight-forward: your words have been 'seasoned with salt' if you will and i really appreciate it. We should always be like that.

To "faith and believe": you've presented extremely interesting data that i have never heard of I'll have to look into this more... thanks!

PS-i'm pretty sure Einstein never said the quote in the above 'fact' but it does have a good point. It's kind of like the "There's no such thing as barbers" argument. I also think i agree with Koray; i'm beginning to find that a lot of the 'facts' have a subjective element to them. I don't know about you but i came here to hear facts not 'facts'. Anyway, edifying discussion, people. GOD bless each of you in your journey. Peace.

Actually there is something called the Book of Enoch. Enoch is referred in the bible a few times as the Great Grandfather of Noah (Genesis 5:1-18). Basically, Enoch walked with God and wrote a book about it. These documents are really old yet we fail to see this as proof of a greater beings out there. Possibly Aliens in the old biblical time, which were referred to as angels just like how the Aztec's referred to Cortes as a God.

In case you are wondering the 'two trees' for the word 'covet/desire' is refer to the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Over these two named trees, the Lord God placed two prohibitions: the first was before the Fall:

"And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (Gen 2:16,17)

the 2nd prohibition was imposed after the Fall and was directed against the second tree, the tree of life.

"And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken

So He drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life" (Gen 3:22-24)

Against the two trees the Lord pronounced a prohibition. So here comes the Chinese word "prohibition" consists of "two trees + God pronounced" = "prohibition"

Coincident? Why believe in so many coincidences where you can just believe in one thing that everything is created by God?
Human, animals, water, everything on earth even the language that we r using is created by Him and gifted by Him?

I simply just don't believe we are existed by chance.
I hope some of you will find it interesting and believe what I've written here. Amen.

For me, I need no more the evidence of God, by feeling the presence of God in my heart and in my life is the most essential evidence that i can get from despite having the evidence of Chinese scriptures. How about you? Do you need more evidence? Just believe Him by faith and believe in all thine heart, all thine soul and all thine mind. Here, I challenge you to make a difference in your life by receiving Jesus as personal saviour. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16)

Hi all.. I'm a Chinese and also a Christian... Since some of you doubt bout the existence and evidence of God, I would like to share some interesting facts with you all. Well, I've learned and studied Chinese words since I was young and here let me 1st introduce the incredible Chinese Script. The Chinese Script is the only modern written language which has retained its ancient pictographic and ideographic form, through some 4,500 years.Most of the characters contain phonetic parts, and are composites of phonetic components and semantic radical that indicates meaning.Well, what I want to tell you here is there is great discovery of characters containing elements of Bible truths relating to 'Early events' of the genesis record- Creation, The Garden of Eden, The Temptation, The Fall and The Flood. Bible scholars tell us that the Bible was written over a period of some 1,500 years and was completed only about 100AD. We also recall the words of the Apostle Paul that while God 'Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways,...
Nevertheless he left not Himself without witness, in that He did good...(Acts14:16,17)
Indeed, our God left not Himself without witness in the days following the Flood and the Babel fiasco, but He did good by implanting in hearts and minds of certain of Noah's children memories of the Creation, the Garden of Eden, the Temptation and Fall, the Flood, and God's plan for salvation.(extracted from The Incredible Chinese Script by S H Tow.)
He indeed not left Himself without witness for the Chinese nation by adding them the gift of the unique Chinese scriptures that carrying essential meaning and story for remembrance. Well, another fact is one in five of mankind is Chinese, with a population of 1.3 billion.( On behalf of all the Chinese, here I would like to thank God for the gift of the Chinese scriptures that we've learned)
Example of Chinese character that relates with the Creation of God is the Chinese word for 'create'
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul"(Gen 1:26; 2:7)The word 'create' in Chinese consists of some simple words or ideogram which is the word of 'dust + mouth + life' also = ' speak + move' that = create.
When God made Adam, He moulded him with the dust of the ground, breathe into his nostrils the breathe of life; and Adam became a living soul, a fully formed adult, able to talk and walk. This is the story of the word 'create'.
There is so many Chinese words that can relate to the story of 'early events' and the more significant ones would be the Chinese word for 'devil', 'tempter', 'desire/covet', 'naked' that tells the story of the Temptation and Fall of Adam and Eve.
Another interesting word that i want to share is the word for 'covet/desire'.
"And... the woman saw that tree was good for food, and... pleasant to the eyes, and... to be desired to make one wise..." (Gen 3:6)
Chinese made no mistake: it was the woman, not the man who lusted and desired the fruit. hence the word for"covet/desire" is made out of ' two trees + woman'.
coincidence? how about this? the word for 'naked' is made out of "body + fruit", is the 'fruit' which Adam and Eve ate that made their 'body' naked! There is no reason to believe that the story of the Creation and the Fall in the bible is not true based on the Chinese scriptures. ( I also couldn't find any reason how the Chinese could create the word for 'naked' with using the word 'fruit' if it isn't based on the story of the Bible.)
Coincidence again? (I don't think so because there are too many words that related to the Bible story.)
Want more? How bout the word of 'righteousness' that is made out of 'lamb' + 'me'. Amazing, how this gospel truth came to be written into the Chinese script over two thousands before the Lamb of God won for us our righteousness at Calvary.
Secondly, the message conveyed from Adam to Noah's Chinese children was well received: God's remedy for sin and prescription for righteousness was a Lamb,not any other animal. ( see Ex 12; Jn 1:29; Rev 5:12) Coincidence? Amazing isn't it? ( I really can't figure out why they use word 'lamb' for the word for 'righteous' as there are so many other animals to choose from but why use lamb if it isn't for the word of God?)
God has spoken: His revealed word is the Bible.
"All scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"( 2 Tim 3:16) And while heaven and earth shall pass away, "the word of the Lord endureth for ever"( 1 Peter 1:25)
For those who is unbelief, It's time to wake up, receive the truth that we are all sinner and the truth of the bible and accept Jesus as our personal savior. Global disaster is on the way. The hour is late.
"For ye a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry"(Heb 10:37)
"Behold, now is acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Cor 6:2)
What is Jesus to you? Be not as a thief whose faithless railing earned him God's condemnation. But rather consider the other's response of faith. Turn like him to the Man on the Cross and hear Him say: " Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." Amen.
Those which is in Italian word are extracted from 'The Incredible Chinese Script' written by S H Tow.For those who interested to know more bout the words, you are most welcomed to read it.
(In case you are wondering, all the words are based on the ancient Chinese scriptures, not the modern ones!) Well, hope to see you in Heaven!

I believe the text has an error. It says that heat can be measured to infinity. When ridiculously high temperatures occur atoms begin to break apart to electrons, neutrons, etc. and those break down to quarks etc. and then those parts break down and so forth until the parts can no longer be broken down. Eventually the system will get to a point where heat can no longer be added (whether there is a certain limit in pressure from the broken down parts, or everything has turned to pure energy). Therefore, to say heat can keep being added no matter the circumstances is incorrect.

You must have faith to believe in God. You can choice to believe in God or you can choice not to believe in God and that is Free Will. He gave us this choice, but the fact is that you have been informed of Him and now must make a choice. You may have to die with your choice and once you stand before God it will be too late to renege on your decision. I know God exist because he lives in me. I feel His presents at this very moment as I share this message with you. As long as you continue to breathe, you have the option of exercising your ability to believe and have faith. Try asking God to come into your life and live within you. You will be surprised how He will bless your every day. God Bless You.

Actually to be "frank", Einstein never actually believed in this God person i have no idea where the author of this got this information that Einstein ever did.

I personally think that every person here that is trying defend a "higher being" then themselves that doesnt even exist is fighting is going to get NO WHERE! I mean for starters you are in the wrong part of this website i mean come on your in the sciece part of it. Infact i think someone should start a new thread stating all the ways that God or Allah(lol dont forget the muslims :P) exists.

Wake up to the society of today. Most people have moved on from religion and have started to accept the fact that God exists.

A fool says in his heart " There is no God"

GOD exists and I don't know why the people who don't beleive in Him are so sure he doesnt exist. I believe in God and when people make a reasonable explanation on what created the Big Bang the we will have something to argue.God bless(especially the unfaithfull)

I believe in God

Evolution is the greatest happening, in my mind, when it comes to determining the existence or lack of God. However, it wouldn't be God-like for God to force us to believe in the existence of Him. God would want us to live and believe what we believe, that is why we are what we are; a diverse group of people with different beliefs and that is okay. There is nothing saying that we have to believe what everyone else does. Atheist, fine. Jewish, fine. Christian, fine. Muslim, fine. Hindu, fine. Buddhist, fine. What I can't stand is people trying to tell other people what they should believe. People saying, "You have to do this, otherwise, you'll go to hell." No. You can do many other things that will outweigh than not doing one minute thing. So, people out there, believe what you want to believe in, and remember that there is no one who has the right to stop you.
