SBC- I gues "assert" has different definitions to different people.
I assert I know what the Bible really teaches- REALLY! heh- and can prove it by referring to appropiate scriptures that build a picture on the subject.
I assert there is a Maker because of how everything, from sub-atomic particles making atoms, molecules, cells into living things that have JUST the right type of bodies to survive in the environment it is in, which is part of an Ecosystem with all the right elements- are all work together. Then expand OUT!
Ever see an explosion where the particles settle into organization?
We have it with the Solar System; planets in PERFECT orbits (altho scientist theorize that millions of years (who can argue with THAT?) later, one planet may be pulled into the sun, or the sun will go nova, or...... the beat goes on.
Ever study how even the tilt of the axis on earth is crucila to life?????
But then- YOU are the Authority on Science.
Choose wisely how you look at the facts- and what conclusions you drawn from them.
I tire of this discussion; it's worse that religious debates; at least the Bible is common ground with 'Christians'! With science, one only has a limited number of facts on a subject, many theories (many STATED as 'fact'), and the opinion of scientists often slanting their research to get funding.
