    NOPE NOPE... definitely believe in God 110%. No matter how hard I've ever though about evolution over the years from friends who believed it. I couldn't understand why there aren't people walking out of the woods evolved from apes. Or if you put a monkey on a chain forever it will ALWAYS be a monkey....

    To me the world is too complex to not be created by Almighty God. The perfect combination of gases we breathe. How plants take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. It's too perfect. How the earth is the perfect distance from the sun to keep plants and ppl at the right temp, etc. One could go on forever. To think all this just happened?

    Even if no one believes the bible is inspired by God. Kind of strange obviously SOMEONE was able to see the future way back when. The end of times is exactly what is going on as described.

    Yes. And gravity, and relativity, and chemistry too.

    (I know- such a bogus, pagan, non-believer I am)

    The material in a white dwarf no longer undergoes fusion reactions, so the star has no source of energy, nor is it supported against gravitational collapse by the heat generated by fusion. It is supported only by electron degeneracy pressure, causing it to be extremely dense. The physics of degeneracy yields a maximum mass for a nonrotating white dwarf, the Chandrasekhar limit—approximately 1.4 solar masses—beyond which it cannot be supported by degeneracy pressure. A carbon-oxygen white dwarf that approaches this mass limit, typically by mass transfer from a companion star, may explode as a Type Ia supernova via a process known as carbon detonation.

    reminds me of what the priest says
    when he smudges the ashes of palms
    from the previous year's palm sunday.....

    "remember, man, that thou art dust,
    and unto dust thou shalt return"

    Maybe.

    But affter extensive research, 56 years worth.

    give or take a few years,

    I conclude, very few on the 3rd rock from the

    sun know whats going on.

    And the ones that know whats going on are not talking.

    My logical mind says no to evolution.

    My emotional mind says no to evolution.

    You can put all the parts to a watch into a washing machine and turn it on forever

    and its never going to turn into a watch.

    There are no explinations to mans being that are not full of holes.

    So, I conclude we are not meant to know.

    We are to enjoy.

    I dont believe in the whole bible,

    I pick and choose.

    I do believe the part where it says faith comes from God.

    To translate it another way faith is genetic.

    I was raised as a witness, but I always doubted.

    If I dont wake up when I die.

    The evolutionist/ atheist were right.

    But that thinking doesnt help me in real time.

    The most comforting thought process to me is a form of reincarnation.

    We are souls evolving, there you go evolution.

    We are on a journey back home to our maker.

    Comforting, but not scientific.

    On the other hand I dont think honest science supports abinogenisis.

    It does support adaptation to a degree, which many call evolution.

    So, its semantics, the devil is in the details.

    At this moment, I believe we adapt.

    But I dont think we came from an ameoba.

    But I am aware of panspermia.

    Bottom line.

    Check me off as agnostic.

    Im like everybody else on the planet,

    I dont know.

    The difference between me and everybody else is.

    I know

    that

    I dont know.

    I remember being a JW. and having all the answers.

    And finding out I was full of ShXt.

    I accept the theory of evolution to be true, I don't 'believe' in it because that would suggest it is faith rather than mere acceptance of the overwhelming evidence for evolution.

    So in the spirit of the question ... 1.

    I believe in Creative Evolution...

    I believe that there was an evolution, and this is a fact according to Palaiontology and anthropology, and this evolution had a "Divine" guidance and design.

    That is why I believe in God the Creator, since without plan nothing can be done
