'Seeking' God

[Blam!]

By "African Apes" do you mean the ones that inhabiting in African?
:bs:

Are you being sarcastic? Common descent or Common Ancestor is better word to describe the evolution origin of human beings and primate species.

I think I demonstrated that in another post when I asked how we could tell the difference and I explained the reason I chose Christianity. I agree that this tactic is not useful to woo people that see all religion as a trick, but it is not my intention to specifically woo skeptics, it's my intention to speak to people who are seeking openly or in secret. If they want to experience Jesus Christ they can.

Fair enough.

If they want to experience Jesus Christ they can.

If there were such a person he's been dead for 2,000 years. All that anyone can experience now are their own delusions or import delusions from other followers.

We ARE African apes, we just don't all live in Africa anymore. We are the African apes with imaginary friends.

@ Shel, whilst we are not descended from modern apes the common ancestor we all share would have been classified as an ape if alive today. That is what I meant

Import delusions, then they have delusions, which may move on to others, repeat cycle over 2000ish years and what to you have?

Chinese delusions.

Actually, it was like a lemur.

Lemurs you say? Explains much.

The remote common ancestor - a concept totally lost on crocoduck-seeking creationist shitheads - may have been from Asia.

June 30, 2009 -- A new Myanmar fossil primate, Ganlea megacanina, suggests the common ancestor of humans, monkeys and apes evolved from large-toothed primates in Asia and not Africa, according to new research published in the latest Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

So the flood and the punishment for Lot's wife are two of the many reasons you...

1. don't believe in God
2. think..IF God was real he'd be terrible

Sorry I have only just noticed your reply.
It's number 2 for me.

But i do not believe in 'god' because i see no reason to. If i did, i'd be a diest not any denomination of theist. The universe is so large and we are on the outer rims of an obscure galaxy, what reason is there to think we are special? Definately not because we exist, the likelyhood of a planet being inhabitable is about 1 in billion. Being that there are around 100 billion galaxies each with approximately 100 billion stars in each, the odds of life on other stars is quite large. With this in mind and the complexity of the universe and life, why would a god watch us with indifference for 250000 years than make a blood sacrifice and condemn all innocent babies to sin? He must have gone from genius to retard very quickly. It's just totally unbelievable in my mind to believe any religion especially as some of the stories are just such utter bullshit, like the virgin birth, water into wine, Buraq carrying Muhammed to the heavens. All of it is nonsense designed to snare simple people in the bronze age and medievel times.
