It's obvious that we're talking apples and oranges here, and I admit that I've gotten very mystical lately. I know at this point we don't have much common ground on which to stand and discuss the issue. But some of you did challenge my reply, so for anyone who cares or can stand to listen anymore, I'm going to give this reply and then I'm gonna get out of Dodge.
I do understand your points and where you are coming from, but in talking to other believers and in my own mind, I'm convinced that you're blinded to God's revelation. We discuss scientific evidence, but have a universe that is beyond what we can conceive. Like I've said numerous times before, I view a universe without a beginning or an end as a supernatural quality. If there was a beginning, where did it come from? If there is an edge or a boundary to the universe, then what is beyond that boundary? The universe is expanding. What space is it expanding into and how far does that space stretch? Before you say it, I'll come right out an agree that this in no way proves the existence of God. If God indeed is a supernatural entity, then he reveals himself to us in a supernatural manner. In speaking for myself and many other believers, we examine the universe and we see God in it. We also believe that God puts the knowledge of himself in us when we truly seek him.
As for showing that christianity is true, rather than other faiths and religions, I'm not sure as to how to answer that question to be honest. I've got a ways to go yet. I just know that I'm a christian. I want to get with other christians and people of other faiths and find out what their experiences are. There have been countless people who have lived and died for Christ over time.
I'm going to back off from the discussion in the forum for awhile because I really don't know where to go with it anymore. I'm going to try to stay away from here, but something always seems to pull me back. I wonder if we would be better to just try to live together in love, rather than trying to convert each other before we can accept each other. Anyway, I appreciate and have enjoyed the discussions here. I wish the best to you all.
