Those 4 things he said "is why I believe so strongly" - I then gave him other possible explanations. I said that if eye-witness accounts are enough to affirm a believe, he can't possibly deny Aliens. Hundreds of "eye-witness" accounts have been made of people who claim to see Aliens. I then said the effect of "discovering God" could be explained in the placebo effect (mind over matter). I simply told him his third reason was fine, but isn't very strong (I was polite). I than explained how complexity in life gives the illusion of Design. Explaining natural selection as an artist, constantly perfecting his "work"
What eggactly are you? You give me the impression of a skeptic, who believes there isn't enough evidence for a specifically Christian God. I believe you are correct, there is not a whole lot of evidence for a Christian God, it becomes a matter faith really. If one were to believe that the Bible is a source for life in General, or believes it fundamentally, than the evidence lies there, but this becomes circular.
People try to discredit the Bible, so what, I question it myself a lot. But I always find the Bible is a book of Love, and without it I would not know anything about God. God is against "sleepers". People who are not only opinionated but are closed to anything besides the values and beliefs instilled in them are "sleepers"... Unfortunately I see that a whole lot in the Christian set of beliefs. As lam would say, think outside of the box, and question everything.
But the Bible has great things to tell, all you have to do is read it.
"Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
Ephesians 5:14
™ Version 4.2
