How Long Will Christians Wait for the End Time to Come?

Quote:Your belief system is the big bang and a "primordial soup" that existed after the big bang.  There is no evidence to explain how matter and anti-matter (if anti-matter even exists) came into existence.  Your belief system has no logical explanation for the creation of all matter.  Your belief system is not superior to any religion and it makes you very upset and that is why you attack with insults.  I have notices that atheists are very quick to throw out insults when their belief system is challenged.  Isn't this suppose to what theists do?  I seem to be keeping my cool.  Interesting.

I don't know about the primordial soup you're talking about. If you're talking about condidtions on Earth nearly 4 billion years ago, that was a long time after the initial expansion. The expansion/bang is based on scientific evidence and has been used to make predictions about future findings that have born fruit. That it happened is well-established in science, the mystery is in what caused it, and many Christians have a non-testable notion about that. Provisionally accepting what is well-supported by evidence in science is not the same kind of belief as believing that God stopped the sun in the sky for Joshua so he could win a battle because an old book says so. One is belief justified by evidence, the other is faith that humans thousands of years ago were accurately recording events under the guidance of the supreme being of the universe. Trusting that my chair won't collapse when I sit on it based on my vast experience with chairs is not the same kind of trust that someone who trusts that angels will protect them from being mugged has. A lot of people here will say that they have no beliefs, that is because their experience with theists is that they use the term 'belief' so loosely that it shouldn't be used at all except in the sense of holding something to be true without sufficient evidence. I use it because there is no reason why one can't hold something to be true because of the evidence, and the word for holding something to be true is 'believe'.

Humans tend to be quick to respond to insults with insults. Maybe if you had attempted the most basic level of courtesy, you would be having a better experience. Your idea of what constitutes 'keeping cool' is laughable.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
