I doubt that very, very much.  Based on some of the things you've posted here you're just parroting things you've picked up from various apologists, without bothering to question what you were told.  If you told me the sun was shining, I'd walk down the hall to a room with a window to see for myself.

You seem to have led an extremely sheltered life, judging from how little you know about other world religions.  I'm also willing to bet good money that if someone sat you and me down in a room and handed us both Genesis 1 in the original Hebrew, I'd be able to read it with decent pronunciation and even translate the first few sentences (because I've actually done it, about 40 years ago), and you wouldn't even know what you were looking at.

I'd rather watch an actual baby.  Much more fun watching them play with things like a set of keys or a cushion with an interesting texture, discovering things and taking in everything they see so excitedly and seemingly non-judgmentally.

Oh, you're going to love it when they invent Google on your planet.

Let's just say "what a shame" and leave it at that.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

An all-powerful agency that actually provides answers? Of course not.

You say that the bible is the word of god and then ignore the parts that seem contradictory. Simply put, bible is not perfect! How can you then assert Genesis is the true word of God if you think Psalm is not?

Just because there are things in the Bible that seem like they contradict each other, that does not automatically mean they do and it certainty doesn't mean that there isn't an explanation. When two verses seem like they contradict each other, try going to a Christian Website an asking. For example Genesis 1 and Genesis  is often presented as a contradiction. If you go onto Carm.org and go over to the left side there's a section called "Bible Difficulties and it will list difficult verses throughout the entire Bible. If you click on the first one, that says Genesis-Deuteronomy the first one to come up is: "1 & 2, Don't Genesis 1 and 2 present contradictory creation accounts?"

 No, Genesis 2 is a more detailed account of Genesis 1. I'm not even sure what you are eluding to, I posed the question to see if it could be answered because I know there are no contradictions in the Bible. I use several different Bibles to study with and trust God who gave us the Bible over what man might have to say.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

The obvious problem being that the "more detailed account" is no less inaccurate.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Of course.  Because a contradiction isn't a contradiction if you believe it isn't. Confused

You'reoure referring to Genesis 67:6, right? That verse has an explanation!!

Not that it matters much, since it never happened.

what with them being horrible pieces of shit and all. Air tight case for genocide.


Yeah He may have committed it but it was Just!

Considering you even acknowledged yourself that they were wicked, that makes for an even stronger case that He was Just.

So "just" as far as god goes, is different than our definition of it?

Nope.  Not one bit of testable, objective evidence. You act like a child.

Yeah thats extremely immature and flat out stupid. It shocking to me that one of the rules isn't against cussing.

Fuck off, God-boy.  Your blathering, showing a total lack of critical thinking skills, is more repulsive to me than any word you can dream up.  The immaturity and stupidity is teeming in your own posts.

Fine, then. Be a jerk. Do you want to have an actual conversation now or would U prefer to continue to be immature?

Why?  You can't be wrong, so what's the point?  Do you think you have some knowledge that will turn us all toward your god?  I'll accept the existance of your god when shown objective, verifiable evidence.

What would it take for you to change your mind?

Yeah, just what I thought.

More or less miraculous than you doing so -with- god?  Care to take a crack at that?  Can you explain to me the existence of the universe, morality, and the origin of life?

So, you don't even know what the definition of "miracle" is?

Im sorry Im not following you. What is  an opinion that is based on current evidence?

Well there was a time when people thought that that there were dog headed people living in india. That was their opinion based on rumours by people who had allegedly "witnessed" these imaginary beings, but as we know witness testimony is notoriously unreliable and what happened was that people actually went to india and found that there were in fact no dog headed people there, so their opinion changed to no longer believing in dog heads. It was an opinion that had changed due to new information.

People used to think that radiation was good for you when it was first discovered because energy=good for you and they sold irradiated water and food to give you vitality. That was their "opinion" but it changed when it was discovered that it was immensely bad for you.

I could go on if you like I have like a hundred examples of this.
