Yes. I belive that there is a god somewhere in the stars, and I belive that if you go to church, and repent your sins, you will go up to heaven. And if not, you may still go to heaven unless you have sinned many times and never repneted. Repenting is easy. Just Pray to god: "Dear god, i have sinned. can you forgive me?" And BOOM! thats it. sins are repented.

You dont need to go to church,as long as you believe in him your going up..church is just a material thing as our bodys are..and this is a repeated topic..could just posts "Yes,i believe in god,and i follow him" in the other thread.
how do you know you way is right? if you think about it there has been some many Religion and there is still so many Religion. wars have start cus of this. do yal think GOD want us to kill each other in his name? I don't if he want this or not cus i don't know him. Hack we may just made us just to watch us kill each other. that may be the point in life just to kill each other.
but if yal have study in chemistry and astronomy, thin you will understand that something has made the univerrse and that is GOD. it may be a bomb,or shit that has made us. so don't git you hopes up on GOD going to help you.
Wowmstr13, we also don't have proof that we aren't living in the Matrix, that a nuke won't kill every person alive to-morrow, or that a giant, invisible octopus strangles everybody before they die so that they can die peacefully.
Sucal, I'm not aware that chemistry and astronomy point to God creating the universe. Be more specific, please.
As a side note, are the guys who take confessions at a church obligated to report murders?

Pfft. It's all about Pre-Destination.

If a man is truly a christian, he won't want to kill other people. His actions should reveal being a true Christian. Don't forget, demons also believe in God, the thing that separates Christians from demons (other that our internal body temperature) is that Christians believe in God and accept him as their savior.
For the biologically savvy atheists out there...
If I were to take a bunch of biological elements such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen and mix them into a bowl, would I be able to make a living organism that:
A. has DNA B. can reproduce C. can absorb energy from its environment in order to maintain its own equilibrium D.Can sense its surroundings and react to external stimuli?
This is, at least, an aspect of the whole evolution thing i want to know...
While there is no proof for a God, there is no proof of the lack of a god either. Scientists can calculate the whole galaxy up to about 20 ms after the big bang, I believe. Sure, (a) God could've messed with stuff to make the big bang happen.
However, there's still the concept of Ockam's Razor - the simplest explanation is often the best. Sure, the whole world could be filled with invisible, untouchable, undetectable flying pink unicorns, giant octopusses and the sorts. But is it the simplest explanation? Definately not. But it doesn't completely outrule them either... tough subject, eh?
That being said... IF there is some sort of a super-being out there who is the undisputed ruler of everything - who has the best view of right and wrong - I doubt that simply saying a few prayers and going to church is something that will clear you of every wrongdoing you might ever do or have done.

Of course it would take more than that to be considered "clean". That is why God sent His Son, Jesus. He never sinned and sacrificed himself in order for all of mankind to have a chance at redemption.
Ok, I haven't posted in a very, very long time, but I couldn't help myself.
Ok, Aaron...to answer your question, I have to clarify something.
Evolution doesn't suggest that once you mix all of those elements, BOOM! you get a human.
Look up the experiment of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey in which they proved that at the very least, the elements that we know were present in pre-life earth could have come together with something as simple as lightning to create organic monomers such as amino acids. With those amino acids, natural selection takes place and we get the very long, slow process of life.
The problem is not evolution's, the problem is that people think that evolution means that in a matter of 5 years, we go from amoeba to human. It doesn't work like that. We're talking about billions of years here...admittedly a number that we can't truly comprehend.
Second thing I have to say...I find it hard to believe that God could have created the big bang, particularly considering the way that Christians believe. If the big bang is true, humanity is actually just the next step in life. Nothing special. We'll be done in a few thousand years or at best, a few hundred thousand. The whole "Jesus" thing makes it pretty apparent that if Christianity is true, we're the shiz. Incompatible.

Well some people don't believe in Church, most Muslims believe in a Mosque but does praying at home count?
The organic monomers that are formed in the experiment ARE the beginning. Those amino acids are not all that are formed, merely some, but those amino acids chain together to create proteins, which are the building blocks of life to begin with.
