For the story of a literal Noah's Ark on a global scale to be true, it would violate what we know about biology, zoology, mythology, archeology, and other areas of inquiry.
Sorry about your flood story didn't happen and it is grow up time.
As a Christian, how would you explain this: the Bible says no one has ever seen God, yet many people in the Old Testament say they saw God, how is that possible?
@AstronomyVibes Hawking’s dedicated his life to the study of physical things that will pass away. He was not aware of the things that will extend beyond the physical universe. So he gets a pass on that. ✝️😊
@SirSicCrusader God’s love that is inherently born into all people, is the basis for morality. However, when Jesus came, He established the Word more clearly for the whole world; universal. ✝️😊
Christianity did not infact invent morality. It actually "stole" everyone of its worthwhile moral postions, from things that came before. You do not own them, and you never have.
In all my discussions with Christians , they’ve never been able to give a good explanation for this monumental issue.
What’s worse is that the two genealogies that tried to link Jesus to king David in Matthew and Luke contradicts each other 😅
Catholics you need to leave the RCC.
Your soul depends on it.
Where you spend eternity depends on it.
Please wake up before it is too late.
You just need to follow Jesus and His word.
It’s that simple🙏🏼✝️
@oliverburdick Poor, Oliver. Learn about the Early Church. The first Christian’s who came immediately after Jesus. Honestly, you don’t know what you’re speaking.
@PhysInHistory U have no idea what “scientists” R doing or treat other scientists. It’s incredibly gatekeeping & fought over hardcore sometimes 2 death. Vast majority of layman don’t have a clue what has been discovered & what they know because it’s so advance, it’s absolutely being kept secret
If we are honest — and scientists have to be — we must admit that religion is a jumble of false assertions, with no basis in reality. The very idea of God is a product of the human imagination.

@ChristandGuitar Wrong. They split over Pope authority being n Rome, NOT over Jesus’s teachings & traditions. Both churches believe both r n apostolic succession. We support 1 another. I went 2 Orthodox before converting from Protestantism 2 Catholicism. Don’t base everything on 1 man, Zeingli.✝️
Both Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox claim to be the "one true Church" with apostolic succession on their side. Both ask: "Would the Holy Spirit allow the Church to fall into error for 1500 years?"
My answer: Yeah, I think He would - Just the same as Israel was allowed to fall into error time and time again.
The fact that the 2 split in 1054 and both claim exclusive fidelity to the apostles means, logically, at least one of them has been wrong for nearly 1,000 years. They can't both be right.
This should motivate Protestants to dig into Scripture and church history. One (or both) of these institutions has error on important points. Scripture, being God's Word, is our anchor for everything.
This is not the strawman of "every Christian for 1500 years went to hell before Martin Luther came along." Christ has always saved His people by grace through faith - even when the visible institutions went off the rails.
@TheRealJamieKay I’m a Catholic but also patriotic. I have zero problem with immigrants, and think they are great for the country. I do think we need a system that lets them in quickly and legal. It protects both sides.
Muslims across the Middle East and beyond are reporting dreams of a man in white, surrounded by light, telling them their sins are forgiven.
A 16-year study by Fuller Seminary found that 27% of Muslim converts to Christianity reported dreams or visions of Jesus before converting. In countries like Iran, that number may be as high as 40%.
God is moving in places we cannot reach. He is walking into dreams.
Even in the darkest places, Jesus is still calling His sheep.
@SkyVirginSon There’s several verses in the Bible that addresses this situation.
Romans 2:14-15
-When gentiles do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires… they show that what the law requires is written on their hearts.
God loves and saves. ✝️
WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE WHO NEVER HEARD OF JESUS CHRIST?
Can someone who was born into another religion or never encountered the Gospel be saved?
How does God’s justice and mercy apply to those who did not knowingly reject Christ?
@jcamachott@anchoredso37497@SavageSaint012 Many scientists, archeologists, physicists, are Believers in God. We believe the universe was designed because it is obviously not chaos.
@anchoredso37497@SavageSaint012 Not everyone is going to agree with the same religion. Christianity doesn't explain anything. It always defers back to God "doing it"
Atheism: The Faith That Thinks It Has No Obligations
Atheism is not the default, burden-free position. It carries its own metaphysical commitments—about existence, consciousness, morality, and meaning that require serious defense. The strongest atheist thinkers (Bertrand Russell, Daniel Dennett, Thomas Nagel) acknowledge this openly.
Atheism has a price tag. It’s a worldview with hard commitments.
Atheism struggles badly with why questions—why anything exists, why it’s ordered, why we can know it, why anything matters.
A worldview that cannot answer the deepest questions about existence, consciousness, and morality is not the most reasonable explanation for the way things are. It’s an incomplete one.
Ultimately, it boils down to one question: Does atheism offer the strongest, most reasonable and most convincing explanations for reality?
Francis Bacon, the father of modern science: “God never wrought miracle to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it. It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men’s minds about to religion.”
@impossiblebones@FratellisDragon@anchoredso37497 The entire post was pointing to the existence of a God. The order of the universe, the creation of DNA, cells, and atoms, and so forth. Believers answer the questions with God. ✝️
@anchoredso37497@impossiblebones "Atheism struggles badly with why questions—why anything exists, why it’s ordered, why we can know it, why anything matters."
No it doesn't. In the slightest. YOU do. Except somehow it's convenient for you to pretend otherwise!
