How does your version of "science" explain it "better"? It certainly can't account for existence, the laws of logic, absolute truth, absolute morals...
Now this is good. :lol:

You believe Jesus walked on water, through walls and rose on a cloud into heaven, raised the dead, healed the blind, rose from the dead, etc. Does this not contradict the rock is more solid than your toe "absolute truth"?
And you believe in the existence of imaginary gods. What is your point?
You are not paying attention.
And if you remember, people of the Jewish faith that the importance placed on Yeshua ben Yusef is much exaggerated. If he indeed existed, he was no more a god than you or I according to them.
As for the Bible being concotcted, it's pretty obvious that we cannot take what it says to be the literal truth and anyone can make a figurative story sound nothing like what they are trying to say. So that leaves us with a pile of sometimes entertaining stories that are no more believable than any of the Grimm's faerie tales and indeed, Grimm brother's faerie tales are clearer in conveyance than a lot of the Bible's little tales.
This bit was interesting:
www.infoministries.com - Yeshua Didn't Preexist
Because some are relative to individuals? I would have thought that was pretty clear.
Then no-one thinks of Sherlock Holmes? You're wrong. There are a lot of people in clubs that revolve around the character and his maker, Doyle. There is absolutely no discernable difference between whether Yeshua ben Yusif and Sherlock Holmes' existences. They were both said to have existed, both written about extensively, both performed astonishing feats, etc. yet there is no definitive proof that either existed outside the imagination.
Exactly my point. There's no definitive evidence that this Yeshua ben Yusif existed, let alone existed as a god, yet people believe in him to this day.
Good for you.
No. My position that of all the gods that ever existed, none give a crap about humans or Earth. So they are completely irrelevant to us.
You cannot have a free and open discussion with terms. Science does not exclude and super natural explanation, just files it under unknown to science at the moment. There are many things in science that are unexplainable as is in religion. Man is slowly moving into a era where we will understand most things, does that mean we may some day evolve/ascend into some god like creature, no. We never will.
Whatta ya mean science can't explain religion?

No, because we already are. The energy we are made of is the same energy that permeates the universe. We use it to create our personal reality. How? The universe/life reflects back at us precisely what we think and believe about life. So if you think you are fat, stupid, ugly, poor, rich, beautiful, smart, trim, you are. If you think that you don't deserve to be happy or rich, you won't be and vice versa.

Way the way to go Cliffy , ...... "You are what you think you are"; but so few see and comprehend
,pity .
People are always saying you are what you eat. But when I correct them and say you are what you think, their expression goes blank. To me it is fairly obvious and simple. What you put out into the world is what you get back.
Well Cliff, I'm not so sure about one part of your post. If I didn't think I deserved to be rich (or at the very least, well off), then I would not buy lottery tickets. I've been buying them since they started and now - you know the rest of the story!!! :lol: Maybe if I buy a ticket today I can be happy and rich in more than money.8O
Sorry to break it to you VanIsle, but buying lottery tickets is an admission of poverty. To be rich you have to believe, no, know that you are already rich.
Personally I don't want to be rich. It is too big a responsibility and I know myself enough to know that I would probably become a mindless consumer of crap I don't need.
True if you spend a bundle on them (lotto). I feel pretty rich already. I have a home, husband, children and grandchildren. I also agree about the responsibility of winning a large lottery. I always wish that someone else in my family would win it and just give me what they want to and let me just be happy with that, never worrying about whether or not anyone feels I've been fair with my "distribution of funds". On the other side of the coin, if I won a big lottery, think of all you can do with it. I've never been wealthy and I've never hung out with wealthy people and I shudder to think how it would be if I did. I'd rather free all my family of debt if there was enough to do that, put money away for all the children in the family to go to university if they want to. After that, there is medical equipment required either for families or hospitals, there are hungry people and people who need a hand up and I hope I would be the kind of person who would do those things.
This thread was about Karma. I have not read the posts but - I do believe in the "what goes around comes around" concept. I had a customer one day who told me I had missed scannning an item that cost $7.00. The computers were set up in such a way that it was easy to miss scanning the first item and not notice because the usual "beep" would sound. I thanked her for telling me to which she replied "I believe in Karma". I guess we can break that down to a "do unto others" kind of thing. I have had a number of people tell me the same thing (not for the same reason) since that time.
Yes, we all have those altruistic views of what we would do, but history shows that people who win a vast amount of money suddenly become someone else.
Comprehesible English helps sometimes if you want to get your point across to other people.
Science isn't a they. Scientists are they. But yes, scientists will continue to keep investigating stuff.
