I have no problem with it.
You didn't reason your way to belief if the process involved anything you've mentioned in all of these many pages. Why engage in this little charade to begin with, though? You and I both know that's not how you came to your beliefs - and that's okay-...just as you and I both know that you very much do take issue with the notion that you're an evolved ape.
IMO, you need to work more on being comfortable and honest with your faith and less on rationalizing it to atheists and yourself ad hoc.
Quote:Even science states we came from the dust of a star that exploded billions of years ago. Even the iron in our blood was once at the core of a star. We are made of dust as the Bible states."Magic book says".
IDK what use it would be to point to what "science states", when scientists get things wrong all the time. Science also states that magic book was comically wrong about space, the stars, and our origins. Pick a lane.
I am not an evolved ape.
Science does not say that. Look at the Day-Age Interpretation of the Bible. I think you must know by now that you were created. How could you not?
