I'm concerned about your enlightenment. Let's talk about what you can do to raise your life condition.

I have posted information about my type of Buddhism. I just don't spam it onto everyone.

Then who created newly formed babies?
Originally posted by JesusIsAliveHe ended his work on the 7th day? If he rested on the 7th day, his work must've already ended, say, the 6th day. This isn't making sense.

Why do scientists have to try so hard to do what God did the first time around? He didn't have to experiment through trial and error and multiple hours and years of research. And to top it all off God did it from nothing--no preexisting materials to work with.Why can't scientists do this, take nothing and create life? Not synthetic life but real life.
It isn't as if Yahwe has the omnipotence charism or anything...

Not one peer reviewed article (if I can call it thus) has shown that life was created. They all state that synthetic life was created. Synthetic life is not life. Synthetic means artificial and anything that is artificial is not authentic (case in point astro turf is not real grass).The same goes for RNA they all state that RNA components have been produced. RNA components are not true RNA.
With all due respect my God created everything that you see from nothing. He created real grass, real RNA, and real life. Nothing artifical or synthetic.
Astroturf is not supposed to be grass. It's supposed to have the same use as grass. RNA is RNA.
RNA components are RNA. RNA is Ribonucleic acid. Any amount of Ribonucleic acid is RNA.
Define "real". Define what a scientist would have to do to create "real" life, by your definition.

Form a man from the dust of the ground and breathe into his nostrils the breath of life so that he becomes a living being.
Then cause a deep sleep to fall on that man, take one of his ribs, close up the flesh in its place. Take that rib and make or build that into a woman and bring her to the man.
In other words, just do what God did and that will constitute real life to me.

Wait, so you're saying you can go to hell for believing in evolution? I thought you just had to ask jesus and repent.
Categorically and emphatically yes, a person can and will go to Hell for believing in evolution because it is the antithesis of the Word of God teaches. The two are diametrically opposed. Just as light and darkness cannot coexist evolution and the Bible cannot both be true.
Originally posted by JesusIsAliveWhat about intelligent design? What if God set it up so that evolution would occur. What if the bible was a book of metaphors on how to act and SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN LITERALLY!?

God did not make salvation from sin difficult for people to receive man did. Man created all of these obstacles and religious rules about how to get to God. They said you have to say a bunch of hail marys, confess to a priest, get baptized, go to church, read your Bible, take a pilgrimage to Mecca, pray five times a day, meditate and seek to become enlightened, live an ascetic lifestyle, etc.None of those things will get a person to God or wash away their sins. Getting baptized, reading your Bible, and going to church is the fruit or result of a person who has asked Jesus to save him and has become born again, not what causes him to be saved from sin.
