Denouncing religions ? [New to debate]

I visited the site and I did not get anything that I had not read on this site. Except it was in one place there.I just don't understand this religion Vs evolution thing. I guess I am too dumb or too old (67).I am a farm boy so I understand evolution, I think. You can improve livestock by selective breeding. You can improve seeds by selective pollination. I have evolved from a strong agile youth to a dotting old fool. But I have never seen nor has anyone ever been able to show me one piece of evidence of macro evolution (one species becoming another species).I have asked the question many time where the singularitry came from that the universe supposedly started from? The best answer I have got so far is, I don't know.The young earth bunch is just as wrong.They can tell me about when Gen. 1:2 occurred. But no one has ever proved to me when Gen. 1:1 took place.As I have understood Gen. 1:1 to say for the last 50 years that In the realm or sphere of the beginnings God literally tore from himself the universe, speaking it into existence.That could have possibly taken place a few hundred million billion years ago, or longer I have no way of knowing.A few years from now we may have a better system of dating that will prove my point, then maybe not.Now I will really open myself up to get bashed. I am a child of the King. I believe that in the distant past God spoke the universe into being. In that same day he made man, animals, vegetation, and everything. Later it was destroyed. I don't know how but I have read where science says it happened that life forms disappeared. Then some time ago God moved to correct this situation and we find the earth in the condition it is in Gen. 1:2. Thus the seven days of Moses as I like to refer to them, because it was not creation.Now since I am so far off base from what I can find that others believe I don't know what this would make me.I believe that true science is true. I believe that theories are just that, whether it is one man's opinion or millions. I believe that there are many religions. I believe that there are many theories of how the Universe and mankind came about. I believe that there is one God.I also believe that does it not make any difference what I believe. Just because I believe it does not make it true.

Only in private Church run schools.You cannot even say God bless you if someone sneezes without offending someone.

They think they are the only ones right.

Not FoundA pro-family law firm the American Center for Law and Justice is defending a high school student in Illinois who was suspended for at least a month for saying “God bless”opps wasn't for sneezing though my fault.

Only the beliefs of that particular Church or denomination.This only covers the Church Schools that I am familiar with.

Our fore fathers put in our constitution a phrase "freedom of religion". Which I always thought meant that people could believe as they pleased without interference from the government.But our court systems in the past 55 years have interpreted that to mean freedom from religion, that the government could not sponsor any program or teaching that refereed to God or Religion. Because of that no prayer, no bible, no religion classes in school. Remember this is my opinion.Just because I believe it does not make it true.

Maybe in some places. But I am speaking from my experience in school, in the 50's.

jar I went to high school in Greenville Fla. in 1954-1957. We were not allowed to read the Bible, or pray openly. We did not have any religious classes. We did not study evolution as my teachers were all Christians and refused to teach it.That is why at age 67 I am on the Internet trying to learn things that I should have known all my life.So please bear with me when I sound so ignorant and unlearned as I am trying to learn and there is so little time.

If I am correct in what I believe every person that has ever lived will know the answer one day. If I am wrong and evolution is correct it won't make any difference how, when, why, or where it happened.

If evolution is correct including the origin of the universe and life on earth (not just things changing over time or different breeds of things) answer these two questions.Where did whatever it was that the universe started from come from?Where did life come from? If I evolved from something then there is no soul or spirit in me so when I die that's it. So what difference does it make where the universe came from or how life began. We are wasting our time looking for answers. We should eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die.

I don't see where I have many options as to what happens at death.
I have heard of reincarnation that means I get to come back and do it again as something else.What are the other options? Enlighten me.

I drink nothing stronger than Pepsi. I have complete contentment in the position I find myself in.
I have peace, joy and happiness beyond compare. I am 67 years old and my God has always supplied everything I have ever needed. Including the most beautiful woman in the world to be my partner for the past 50 years come June 3rd.What more could anyone ask for?

No but because my needs have been met by my God.If it had not been for my God I would not be where I am today. YESI want to be the best I can be and to do that I must study and learn. Yes it has been a great experience here. I have found area's
in my life that I was insensitive to certain things. These things I must work on and eliminate to be complete.

Hi Ringo keep making me think. I believe God made man in his image. Body, Mind, Spirit (soul) Now if there is no God there can be no soul.If as some believe God started the process and left everything up to chance you might be right but I haven't found that Bible yet.Therefore I believe to have a spirit (soul) you have to have a divine creator that put the spirit in man. And I do not understand how that could take place in something that evolved from a single cell life form that nobody knows where it came from or why.
But they can tell you about when this life form appeared according to our present scientific data.Now if you can shed some light on the orgin of the (soul) spirit of man please do.

Do you have something to base this belief on or is it just your opinion?
