who said these non emotional appealing statements?-
But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
And nyle ye drede hem that sleen the bodi; for thei moun not sle the soule; but rather drede ye hym, that mai lese bothe soule and bodi in to helle.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things?
This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth.

how does He see spreading lies to his children?
“It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves.
For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

I don't think anyone would have taken anything in your earlier posts as something you had experienced first hand. I know I didn't.
I to believe what I believe because I have seen it with my own eyes and it has convinced me that there is no god. At least not in the biblical sense. Not gonna try to prove it to anyone because I know I can't. At least not those asking for objective facts. It's not that hard to understand although I guess, for some, it's tough to accept.edit on 9-5-2011 by daskakik because: (no reason given)

And we all know subjective evidence isn't reliable
Receive ye Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Mr. Miagi think you need some professional help.

We can go back and forth saying "you have been lied to" to each other and still get nowhere. I don't feel the need to. I just don't see the point. Just let it go.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

My point is that I understand this is what you believe. I don't care and if you think that when Jesus returns I will care that's my problem so why are you sweating over it?
I also don't see why I have to be careful claiming what "you say". It's part of the package deal in christianity so even if you didn't post it, it is a known part of the belief. Why else would I be in for a shock.

Your not sweating it your glorifying the word in it? You have got to come clearer than that.
As to the who said what, I never said you said it, I said you believe it and if you do believe it then it isn't a lie.
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

You like to use the word creation, but I like the word invention. If God does exist I see him as an inventor, a scientist to end all science. Is it so wrong of me to think like that?
I have one last question for you and then I’m done with this subject because its quite obvious that its you who ridicules the belief of others because they don’t conform to your personal beliefs.
Why is it so important to you to try and justify your beliefs as fact and attempt to discredit anyone else who disagrees?
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
(Hebrews 11:1)

“Evidence of a beginning “
The book “God and the Astronomers,” page 14, said:
“Now we see how the astronomical evidence leads to a biblical view of the origin of the world.”
The Hubble Telescope and other powerful instruments, higher mathematics and the brightest minds of science has confirmed this to be so: the universe had a beginning – ergo: The Big Bang.
Here's from:
Professor of astronomy David L. Block who wrote:
“That the universe has not always existed—that it had a beginning—has not always been popular.”
Now:
“Virtually all astrophysicists today conclude, that “the universe began with a big bang that propelled matter outward in all directions.” – reported U.S.News & World Report in 1997
From:
Robert Jastrow, professor of astronomy and geology at Columbia University:
“You can call it the big bang, but you can also call it with accuracy the moment of creation.”
“Few astronomers could have anticipated that this event—the sudden birth of the Universe—would become a proven scientific fact, but observations of the heavens through telescopes have forced them to that conclusion.”
“The details differ, but the essential elements in the astronomical and biblical accounts of Genesis are the same: the chain of events leading to man commenced suddenly and sharply at a definite moment in time, in a flash of light and energy.”
From:
Penzias, who shared in the discovery of background radiation in the universe, observed:
“Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing.”
“What we have found is evidence for the birth of the universe.” – COBE team leader George Smoot
“If at some point in the past, the Universe was once close to a singular state of infinitely small size and infinite density, we have to ask what was there before and what was outside the Universe. . . . We have to face the problem of a Beginning.”—Sir Bernard Lovell.
Physics professor Freeman Dyson comments:
“The more I examine the universe and study the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the universe in some sense must have known that we were coming.”
“Rather than accept the fantastically small probability of life having arisen through the blind forces of nature, it seemed better to suppose that the origin of life was a deliberate intellectual act.” -- British scientist Sir Fred Hoyle
From NASA:
The night sky presents the viewer with a picture of a calm and unchanging Universe. So the 1929 discovery by Edwin Hubble that the Universe is in fact expanding at enormous speed was revolutionary. Hubble noted that galaxies outside our own Milky Way were all moving away from us, each at a speed proportional to its distance from us. He quickly realized what this meant that there must have been an instant in time (now known to be about 14 billion years ago) when the entire Universe was contained in a single point in space. The Universe must have been born in this single violent event which came to be known as the "Big Bang."
Astronomers combine mathematical models with observations to develop workable theories of how the Universe came to be. The mathematical underpinnings of the Big Bang theory include Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity along with standard theories of fundamental particles. Today NASA spacecraft such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope continue Edwin Hubble's work of measuring the expansion of the Universe. One of the goals has long been to decide whether the Universe will expand forever, or whether it will someday stop, turn around, and collapse in a "Big Crunch?"
science.nasa.gov...
Of all physical cosmological models, the most established and widely supported is the Big Bang. Much of the scientific evidence as well as mathematical predictions converge harmoniously into this model that speaks of a primordial very hot and very dense condition, once known as the primeval atom, that blew up (hence Big Bang) into what is now the Universe.

Scientist Sir Isaac Newton had this to say about nature and God:
“Whence is it that nature does nothing in vain; and whence arises all that order and beauty which we see in the world? . . . How came the bodies of animals to be contrived with so much art and for what ends were their several parts? Was the eye contrived without skill in optics, or the ear without knowledge of sounds? . . . And these things being rightly despatched, does it not appear from phenomena that there is a being incorporeal, living, intelligent?”
….
Those things imply that the Universe we live in had a start, however no implication what so ever is made towards a biblical creation with the beard guy at the helm. Could just as well be the work of Allah, Vishnu, Batman or something completely natural (as it has been observed that stuff pops out into existence from vacuum all the time).
Argument from authority.
So what if people who were really good at science or other things believed in a deity? That in itself proves nothing. Their positions stand on the merits of their arguments and evidence, nothing more. Newton's achievements didn't happen because he merely believed them to be so.
…
Anyone who actually considers the Bible to be any sort of a scientific resources ought to chuck their computers out the window...
Thank you for posting yet another great example for a fallacious argument...the so called "argument from authority". In every single one of the quotes you posted, those scientists are stating a BELIEF, not a scientific theory they backed up with objective evidence. Just because their scientific theories are brilliant, doesn't mean everything they say is the truth
…
But that doesn't mean everything they say is the truth, which is what you're implying. It's a very common fallacious argument.
In short, your argumentation is SERIOUSLY flawed, and your post isn't evidence of anything

The case at hand would be the topic of this thread not the final judgment. Two different things. The people discussing the idea proposed by the OP set the standard.
So the topic is showing how science backs up the bible. The OP at least gave it an honest go. You on the other hand are just preaching.
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power
