OK, Christians! I have my KJV!
RE: OK, Christians! I have my KJV!
LOL. ‘Abiogenesis of the gaps’. I like that one.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.

I'll give you this though, if it was proven tomorrow that conscience exists outside of the body, then I would believe that conscience exists outside of the body.

PS: I answered your question, but you didn't answer mine.

In the Bible there were Those who were able to turn their rods into serpents:

(Old Testament | Exodus 7:11 - 12)

11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

So much the same as you, I would believe that they did it.

Let "god" heal 1,000 amputees, and I'll believe.

Mostly because of lack of faith. Faith precedes the miracle.

And, so, there are no believers around today who have a good enough "faith"?  Not even in places such as Africa where there is no Internet?

More faithful people alive today than have ever lived before..and we're supposed to believe that the reason miracles no longer occur is a paucity of faith?  

LOL, nah, the reason miracles don't happen anymore, is because everyone has a camera phone.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Have you ever heard the story of the emperors new clothes?



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I suppose you could suddenly have something worth saying, that would be a miracle. Make up your mind, can people turn a cane into a snake, or not? You have faith -and- a camera phone, I'll bet.

Pics or it doesn't happen.
