Therefore, if anyone makes an attempt to contact him it will succeed, even if the person does not believe. If god exists, we cannot possibly fail to reach him. The idea that he will only 'reply' under a very specific set of conditions, and only in ways that can be interpreted but not confirmed, does not sound like a real god. For those of us who made a sincere effort to serve god and believe in him, he most definitely was absent.(November 18, 2014 at 4:32 pm)Parkers Tan Wrote: Unfortunately, he's absent.Just because you fail to reach Him doesn't mean He's absent.
"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."
