Christian answering questions too!

[Wyrd of Gawd]

First, thank you for the interest Abaris, that is a name I am not familiar with.  Does it have a special meaning?

Secondly, for me there are several questions that I was looking for the answers to.  What happens when we die?  Where did we come from?  Why are we here?  How was the universe created and for what purpose?  For me, science, other forms of religion and such did not supply me with a believable and  satisfactory answer that ties all of those questions together in a coherent answer.  The bible did however.  It took a long time for me to arrive at this conclusion as I had several sticking points along the way.  I found that when reading the bible and taking it all in as a whole (even some of the hard to believe parts) it tied a lot of things together cohesively.   

You do realize don't you that people only became aware of the universe very recently.  In ancient times people thought that the Earth was all there was.  They thought that the lights that they saw in the night sky were simply tiny lights comparable to meteors they saw streaking through the atmosphere at night.  They had no idea what stars really are.  They thought that the visible planets they saw moving through the night sky were just tiny moving lights like the stars.  They had no idea what they were or where they were located.  

Jesus thought that the stars would fall from heaven.  Today we know that that is simply impossible.  He had no clue what stars are.  Be smarter than Jesus.
