Considering that a small fraction of the earths population do not believe in a god .... Why do humans have a desire for God? Wouldn't it be that if someone thought everyone else is "deluded" or "brainwashed" it would cast suspicions on their point of view in any other aspect of life?

It is amazing to me how something so painstakingly designed is supposed to show that there is no God/Creator! Edit: Dreamstuff, you may need to update your copy/paste. 1998 is a long time ago when it comes to research. Edit: On creation vs. evolution debate forums, evolutionists frequently...

The term has its roots in Genesis 1:27: "God created man in his own image. . ." This passage does not mean that God is in human form, but rather, that humans are in the image of God in their moral, spiritual, and intellectual nature. In other words, humans mirror God's divinity in their ability...

We are born with two genealogies, one from our father and the other from our mother. It stands to reason that if Luke traces through Mary, and Matthew through Joseph, then Christ will have two different genealogies and both of them lead to David. In reference to Joseph's heritahege to David...

Christians don't hate science (and I've been around a ton of them), this is only a societal conception. Science actually SUPPORTS the bible in many different ways, but christians and non-christians alike will choose to believe what they want to believe. Like previous posters have mentioned, many...

The opening “so” is important. It connects this thought with the previous thought in the verses before. Because Jesus won such a glorious victory on the cross, we are to let no one judge you in food or in drink or in other matters related to legalism. A life that is centered on Jesus and what He...

There is of course a universal longing and pleasure found in love. If there is no God, then the feeling of love is simply within us because of natural selection, and it is a complete illusion. If it is nothing more than a chemical reaction that has sustained humans, why is our longing for love...

In Genesis 1 there is a broad outline of the events of the creation week, which reaches its climax with the origin of mankind in the very image of God. In Genesis 2 there is the special emphasis upon man, the divine preparation of his home, the formation of a suitable mate, etc. Chapter one is...

When the subject of judging comes up among believers, the first place most Christians go to is Matthew 7:1. Matthew 7:1. Judge not, that ye be not judged. Most people will stop right there, and conclude, "Jesus said don't judge." But we've got to read on to see this in context, so that we can...

For what it is worth ... the Bible does not give an age for the earth. The 6,000 year old thing was an estimate of Dr. John Lightfoot, a 17th century Anglican clergyman. He estimated that creation occurred during 4004 BCE. Bishop James Ussher in the 17th century made the same estimate a decade...
