Hi everyone,
Thanks for your posts! First, I honestly don't claim to know everything about evolution. Second, I'm sure you know lots about the Bible. Third, I'm definitely not here to get converts. I simply just want to know how you deal with the questions that drive me to God. I personally believe that Christianity provides the most satisfactory answers to ultimate questions (some of which I originally asked about), but I also understand that there are lots of rational people in the world that don't share my thinking. So, please continue to share your thoughts. (Thanks admin for allowing it to continue.) I am reading all the posts, though I can't possibly respond to them all.
Since everyone is being so obliging, I do have another question for you. I recently heard a researcher state that naturalism leads him to understand that consciousness is simply a product of chemical reactions. This is the obvious conclusion of naturalism. If you believe this, how do you know that your logic is true? How can you be so dogmatic about the conclusions you draw? Isn't there a good chance they are false? We have a strong conception of free will, but, according to naturalism, that is simply an illusion. Couldn't our minds be playing other similar tricks?
Again, I really don't care what you think about me, so please just share with me your own beliefs.
