Always different gods, or different pantheons of gods, or different versions of a particular god. Even today, with all of the progress humanity has made in so many ways, we still worship at least a handful of different gods in thousands of different ways.(February 12, 2015 at 11:18 pm)Jenny A Wrote: That was me. You see babies do have some indication of a mother, which is not surprising since there is one. But we have no indication of god, probably because there isn't one.How can you even say this? People have been worshiping gods since our beginnings, since it is evident in the creation. People have always sensed that there must be a god.
Why would such a confused and utterly random approach lead one to believe that there is even a single god?

When an adulterous woman was brought to him, he refused to follow the law and even shamed the men who brought her to him. If he was there to fulfill the law, he should have demanded that they find her lover and stone them both. Instead he didn't even determine her guilt, he just told her not to do it again.
"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."
