i see where you guys are coming from, but i think you misunderstand me Omega, and i think i mispoke at the same time, not meaning to say somethings being true by not being false I meant the opposite actually, I simply belive that both science and religion may coexist in their entirety and ppl put far too much pressure on choosing which side, of course there are religious scientists, but they are not in the majority. And Bardock I just looked back on what I wrote and allow me to retract that statement I made you are absolutley right, I dont know what was wrong with me yesterday, looks like i was halfway through thoughts and just hit submit, or combined 3or4 thoughts together. Good Catch it wont happen again
God is fully in control of His creation. He created everything seen and unseen. While God is fully in control, He choses not to interupt free will. Free will is very important in reaching meaningful relationships with His creation... human beings that is. If God chose to control every aspect of life, even molding our methods of tooth brushing, then life would have no value. We would be God's puppets, under total control at all times. More so, we'd be unable to have a meaningful relationship with our Creator and vice versa. Imagine, forcing your significant other into marriage. What kind a relatiohsip would that be? It surely doesn't sound loving.
Point being, allowing one to make his or her own decision in pursuing or rejecting a relationship with God is honorable. God would love to have all mankind recieve the gift of salvatiion through his begotten Son Jesus Christ, but He will not force it upon us. We must make a choice. That is a beautiful thing.
Many people have asked, "If God is all loving, why all the pain and suffering?" Again, God does not interupt free will. God hates sin, since He knows it's destructive powers! Sin is the only cause of all problems in the world today. Sin is any deliberate action, attitude, or thought that goes against God. People often think of sin as an obvious fact, such as murder, adultery, or theft. However, sin is also wrongdoing that's far more subtle and even unnoticeable at times, such as pride, envy, or even worry. Sin can either be something you shouldn't have done, but did (sins of commision), or something you shouldn've done, but didn't (sins of ommision).
The world today is dying... all thanks to mans sinful nature, not God being powerless in its presence. God gave mankind the ultimate freedom, and we treated it poorly and selfishly.
Well I had learned from a friend that god gave us all free well so that is one thing he is not controling.JM

Last night I told my boyfriend Daniel that I was losing faith because of what's happening to my cousin Justin. I dont know if I really did mean it or if I didnt.
there is nothing he cannot control, or he would not be referred to as a god.. he simply does things that are beyond understanding, and appears to have undying patience
