  Not that I think i am as good as you describe or anything, but the person you described is one I would like to be, and so perhaps strive to be.

  Peace again,

  How don't you know?

  Wow! Do you use that same logic to buy a used car?

  I apply God-given logic and wisdom when buying a used car.

  The idea that there was ever "nothing" is a strange idea. Neither the ancient Greeks nor the Early Church fathers ever considered that God created

  the universe out of (nothing). The idea was a little later around 1215 and the 4th Latern Council. Aristotle had said the Universe had always existed!

  Something always comes from something.

  So, once you posit that creation came from NOTHING...then you cause a logical problem! However, the Church managed to corner the market on

  creation that way!

  Here is an interesting site showing people how to give their testimony about christ...and some useful 'catch phrases'. Now I am pointing out the word testimony because we seem to be using legal terms with the word evidence. Supplanting the idea that this reasoning is based on fact and can be truly defended by evidence.

  There are only six steps. So it is easy for the believer to put across their point without alienating people or drawing unnecessary attention to the bible. It also makes the 'facts' that are put forth very difficult to prove or disprove. This method allows the believer to debate without actual proveable evidence.

  Avoid using "born again"
  Instead use:
  • spiritual birth
  • spiritual renewal
  • to come alive spiritually
  • given a new life

  Avoid using "saved"
  Instead use:
  • rescued
  • delivered from despair
  • found hope for life

  Avoid using "lost"
  Instead use:
  • heading in the wrong direction
  • separated from God
  • had no hope

  Avoid using "Gospel"
  Instead use:
  • God's message to man
  • the good news about Christ's purpose on earth

  Avoid using "sin"
  Instead use:
  • rejecting God
  • missing the mark
  • falling away from the right path
  • a crime against God's law
  • disobedience to God

  Bio, the burden of proof is on you.

  Where is the evidence to back your claim?

  The evidence is within the results knowsnothing...which only goes to prove that bio has not 'fallen away from the right path' and is 'heading in the right direction" and "come alive spiritually"

  Why you cannot see that I just don't know...it is clear for all to see.

  I'm not claiming anything, I'm defending.
