Science is incapable of telling us anything about the supernatural, which by definition is above nature. Science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God, since God is supernatural. Science is concerned with things that contain natural properties, and the interaction of those properties to...

Nick, You are absolutely right that people have done horrible things in the name of God. I wish it wasn’t true. That doesn’t tell me that religion is wrong but that humans are sinful. If I try to play Mozart’s Jupiter on the piano by reading sheet music you will quickly learn that I have no...

Faith is the belief that God is real and that God is good. It is a choice to believe that the one who made it all hasn’t left it all and that he still sends light into the shadows and responds to gestures of faith. Faith is the belief that God will do what is right. God says that the more...

Jesus Christ is the final and supreme revelation of God. He cannot be succeeded by another prophet. Since Jesus’ lordship is perpetual and universal (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 1:15-23), all who deny it have denied Christ himself and have excluded themselves from the only way of...

I believe you can know truth and the right path to live this life. In fact truth is found in the person of Jesus Christ. John 8:31-32 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set...

Hi Keith, I’m new to the forum as well. I would encourage you to look into the intelligent design movement. It argues that the world of biology presents us with cases of imposed design, and that good science ought to be free to talk about them. An example is Michael Behe’s Darwin’s Black Box. He...

Silmoon, I would encourage you to turn to the truth found in scripture. Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my...

9Harmony that is an interesting project to immerse yourself in the religion of another culture for a month at a time. What also interests me is the idea behind the premise. Which is that by immersion/ experience you can find the truth of a specific set of religious beliefs. That places the act...

Nick that is an interesting topic of would the World be better without religion. I can honestly say that and I think history backs this up that when you take God out of the affairs of man you see the worst in humanity. A classic example is Hitters Nazi Germany. By removing the standard of a...

Soleil10 your friend is asking interesting questions. God may be good, but life isn’t always good. The fact that life isn’t always good is the main reason people struggle with the idea of a good God. Other questions I’ve heard are if God is good why didn’t he do a better job of explaining his...

God governs the world by keeping things in being, so that they have their natural effects; and also by doing supernatural things, which bring about results that are different from the natural effects. God doesn’t have to work within the nature. What makes a supernatural event different from a...
