How does saying God didn't make the earth and firmament or man in His own image make laptops work?

While church goers were busy praying, worshipping the Lord and 'spreading the truth' Scientists were comming up with inventions such as the transistor.

Had these scientists not explored their curiosities and accepted Gods almightiness in all it's glory, the transistor would never have come to light.

Great. Except if humans followed that logic we wouldn't be discussing the greatness of the lord on the internet for it was thanks to curious scientists we all despise so much that we have all this technology at our disposal.

Re: How do atheists think the Earth stays up?

That's right, why should we ask the almighty creater about questions like these, we should just be thankfull for doing it and not constantly question his existence and endless power.

We need to accept the FACT that we will never know the answers to these questions as God DID NOT intend for us to wonder about his power and creations. Imagine if your child came and told you that he did not believe that you actually father him, just because we don't understand the human creation. There is a reason we do not, and never will, understand these things!!!

Re: How do atheists think the Earth stays up?

Curiosity and reason lead people to sin. They lead people to doubt the existence of God, and to allow atheists equal status under the law. This is Biblically forbidden, and will result in eternal damnation. Why would you encourage people to do things you know will only result in their eternal pain and suffering?

So are you saying that the invention of the internet is a bad thing? Sounds like you are against it as it was founded on secular advances in spite of Biblical laws.

If you are indeed against scientific advances how about you leave out any technology science has brought us out of your life. Which will include your cell phone, your internet, your TV and pretty much anything that relies on electromagnatism.

Reminds me of these crazy animal rights activists who make a song and dance about animal rights, but it's ok to wear a leather belt.... And own a leather sofa. On 1 hand you are expressing your hatred towards Atheism and science, on the other hand you are happy to exploit the advances when it benefits you (internet on this occaison). Talk about having your cake and eating it!

Science and technology are two very different things.

There's not a lot of science in an inclined plane.

Re: How do atheists think the Earth stays up?

Exactly!

This is why we should just stop pondering the mystery of God and get on with praising Him and fathering soldiers for Christ.

Although the Bible is very specific about the foundations of the Earth and the pillars that support it I don't think there are specifics about a support for pillars. I assume it's His will, in much the same way are the stars don't fall down until He wants then to.

Matthew 24:29
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Re: How do atheists think the Earth stays up?

Its open for interpretation, but in a general consensus, the main underlying issues of what God is trying to establish should be used as a guide - eg.10 commandments etc. Of couse not everything in the bible is true of course, even me being a devout christian understands this.

What part of these Scriptures don't you understand? Where did you get the crazy, blasphemous notion that some parts of God's Holy Word should be ignored?

Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

2 Peter 1:20: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Re: How do atheists think the Earth stays up?

I can't see how that could happen unless the pillars were on wheels.

Perhaps this fellow imagines the earth to be like a child's spinning top toy? I suppose it could work if all the pillars were to be attached at the bottom.

Re: How do atheists think the Earth stays up?

Before I found the love of Christ Jesus, I struggled with questions like the one your son asked you. How does the world stay up? Why does the earth spin? Why does water evaporate? How was the earth and the universe formed? I foolishly denied the existence of the Lord our God and the more I denied, the further and further from any feeling of satisfaction or truth I became. While science can answer some questions such as how water evaporates and how the earth spins, it cannot give a motivating factor for water to evaporate or the world to spin. It especially cannot tell us how the universe was formed. So before I found Jesus, I kept going further and further into these questions regarding the reason for anything and concluded there was not reason, there is no motivating force so we must not really exist! This all must be someone elses dream or something.

But then....

I found JESUS!

It was foolish to think we don't exist because we do!
It was foolish to think there is no reason for existence or any motivating factor and there is!

And that motivating factor is God! The reason the universe started is because he wanted it to and the reason it still exists is because he wants it to.

NOT BECAUSE HE LOVES IT!
He just wants it to exist and it is in his sole power to allow it to.

If everyone could just understand that God is the motivating factor behind all things in the universe, even the motivation to seek answers scientificly, they would finally find peace within their hearts and minds and not find it necessary to invent false Ideas to make their pathetic view of the world more relevant.

GOD is the only motivating factor and we are lucky he had enough sympathy for the human race to give us a chance at heaven through his son Jesus Christ.

You talk sense although I'm not sure about this Earth spinning nonsense. I can't see how that could happen unless the pillars were on wheels. Also the Bible specifically says that the Earth is stabilised so I cannot move.

How about you introduce yourself in the introduction thread?

Friend,

Some people talk about Gravity, we TRUE Christians talk about Intelligent Falling. I say teach the controversy.

As for the Ten Commandment secularists say Moses never existed and the Exodus never happened. That the Israelites were just Canaanites who moved to the Judean highlands in the 12 Century BC. If they are right the Ten Commandments are just man made as anything. An obviously ludicrous notion; the genocide of the Canaanites was the founding act of piety of the Jews to which we Christians are the heirs to.

Now my question is if you accept the Ten Commandments as true then why not things in The Bible like talking snakes and mules?
