Paging Indiucky, you have a call on the white courtesy phone.I make my post for several reasons, first being, in my early teen years I did witness something that can not be explained, but that is not the only reason, there are things in this world that have been made before we kept record of time like the Nazka lines that were made to only be viewed from above..far above, long before we had the ability to fly, or even figure out the math that goes into making these "markers" there are several of these types of unexplained markers with math so precise that we did not even realize the precision until recently...for example look at the pyramids in Egypt, a feat that could not be replicated today with astrological mathematics that we could not have understood, and global positioning that could not have been comprehended by humans at the time., do some research on the precision of the placement of each of those blocks (some exceeding 200 tons) but all are placed with corner facing within 2 degree true north, and how you can not slide a sheet of paper between the blocks (real precision) or the huge stone blocks in puma punka that have been cut with such precision that even the most advanced stone masons say they could not replicate the blocks even with the laser techniques we have in our modern time...yet these blocks were made many thousands of years ago... Please do some research into these places and more...our world is not alone...
He's a lot more capable of addressing the ingenuity and capabilities of prehistorical cultures. I fully believe they were capable of feats we can't imagine despite what the sensationalist History Channel shows say.
I'm not disputing god, I'm saying is to think the great creator just created earth and left the rest as blank filler is pretty closed minded.. look at the evidence and not just blind faith because a man told you that's how it is
Be very careful about brandishing the term "closed minded" - one might think it could apply to you given your certainty about things. You'll find this group is anything but closed minded.
We may be alone, we might not. I believe the former, but the latter is not outside of the realm of possibilities. I also don't believe modern miracles happen nearly as often as reported. I am in a minority on this here. I believe in an "old earth", probably with the majority. I also believe that infant baptism is wrong - that's 50/50 here in this thread.
Those are all theological issues that I hold to loosely; I might be wrong, but God can correct me in Heaven if I am. They are not essential for salvation and I have an open mind concerning them, but I know what I believe.
