- Do you want to believe in God?
I do believe in God.
- ...or is [proof] the main thing holding you back?
- Do you believe that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe?
I believe in Physics, so yes. Either God specifically planted life on Earth 3 billion years ago, or life self-starts, and if life self-starts then there certainly should be life throughout the universe. Either case doesn't affect my salvation one way or the other.
Now I've answered your questions here are two questions I have for you.
1. Why do you accept the Latin Vulgate as "sola scriptura", and why should I accept it as more authoritative than the same Greek NT text that you have or the MT Hebrew?
2. Given that we both agree God's Word is perfect - why should I believe that the RCC has the sole right to interoperate the Bible, and that anyone else must be in error?
