religion is a "state of mind"

Do you think we came from chimps? How do you explain the force that holds together the world?

Evolution is a wholly discredited Theory. Not even Darwin himself would subscribe to it if he were aware of todays technology in microbiology. He never had a clue of the processes that govern living organisms' vary construction let alone the immensely complex functions of our own body's organs. It is evident that most who support evolution have never even read Darwin's book 'The Origin of Species.' A much more cogent explanation for what modern sciences are uncovering is the argument for Intelligent Design. If any are interested, I would be glad to post links. Darwinistic Evolution is the clear fairy tale. If you can lower your guard long enough to consider both sides, you will see that your brain would be more comfortable with the evidence for a creator. Evolution is bankrupt.

PS any sound arguments in support of Darwin or can I expect the usual mindless lashing out?

However, I like to think that we all have a supernatural connection with god at all times. And through the way we live our lives in accordance with the commandments, we will be rewarded with eternal life. What promises does evolution make for us? Maybe we may evolve into a planet that never accepts the promises god made us. And eventually consumes itself at some point it time?

If everyone were to read or research this a little more you would understand that if we would abide by the simple rules as a mass culture, you would start seeing god's rewards. However no one know if that will ever happen. So unfortunately we are victim to a future that is unknown, instead of living well and proper unto Jesus' name.

Just my opinion of course...

Wheemer; you don't by chance smoke marijuana do you? I mean presumably so right? This is a pot site, right?

Either way, If you believe that salvation comes "by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone" then we are brothers in the service of the same Master.

Of course, if you don't share that perspective, or if any don't for that matter, then...

Good Luck with that!

The one thing I have had a hard time doing is believe something without using more than one sense... So, for this fact what I do whole heartedly believe is that Jesus' way of teaching and conducting life is the ultimate role model for society.

I'm not one of those who can quote versus from the bible. I am one that strongly believes in mental peace... also referred to as your Christ consciousness, I believe. Once you obtain a handle on keeping your thoughts clear you can always see the right path for your life... It's always when people worry too much or have past mental anguish that interferes with your connection with god. Marijuana has helped me adapt my thinking to a point... I often meditate while smoking...

So I'm not sure if we are still on the same track or not...

I agree with every word Jesus is meant to have said, it boils down to 'treat others as you would have them treat you'. I don't need a god to do that.
