Drich Wrote:The God of the bible is the only God who seeks a relationship with His followers.Based on your explanations, the god of the bible isn't the one who seeks. He demands that prospective followers do the seeking, and only reveals himself under a fairly specific set of circumstances and only at a time of his choosing. This, even though it seems it would be no effort at all for him to seek a relationship with anyone.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
