When did you accept God in your life, or realize you did not believe in him?

you ever hear back from him?

 

So do I. But not infallible.

 

I got saved on December 30, 1991 (Age 11) in the living room floor of my parents' home. Before then I started to become very rebellious to my parents, pastor, and to authority as a whole. I was raised in a Christian home and I thought I didnt need it anymore. I was wrong. My parents at one time were about to place me in a remedial type home cause they couldnt handle me. My dad would ware me out and it had no affect on me.

So after many attempts, my dad rented all four of the movies from "A Thief In The Night" series (A Thief In The Night, A Distant Thunder, Image of The Beast, The Prodigal Planet) made by Mark IV Pictures in the 1970s, which is a forerunner to the "Left Behind" series. After watching all of them, seeing that we are in the last days, and that Jesus Christ is coming soon, I wanted to get saved to avoid the times of The Great Tribulation.

Since then I've been in church (was since I was 6 days old) and later graduated from a Christian School and have never regretted it since.

I didnt turn over a new leaf, get confirmed, change ways, etc... I got SAVED!

Psalms 34:6---"This poor man cried, and The Lord heard him, and SAVED him out of all of his troubles."

 

It's not going to tell you that an object was made on 13th of October 390 BCE, at 3:14 am EST. But it will get you an approximate age.

 

Of course, but "approximate" is a subjective term. The problem I have with carbon dating is that it's based on mathematical consistencies, and nature is not that consistent. Anomales abound in nature, and I tend to think they often have a confounding effect on any equation we try to apply to it.

 

I believe in ESP, but I don’t think that's something that God gives you. If you believe that, you might as well say God makes you mentally insane and want to hack up people and store them under your floorboards in your house. I'm not going to say the bible has NO evidence to support it, and it can explain all the things that evolution can, but there's no proof. (at least that I have seen) While on the other hand, evolution can't explain it all, but it can explain most of it, and what evolution can explain, there is proof. I've got a question for you, where did God come from? He was just there I suppose? And one day he was sitting in the nothingness and decided to create the universe? Yeah, that's more believable than evolution.

 

this is true, but i think there's corroborating evidence that helps them "fine tune" the results (items that have other means of determing their age).

 

Scientists do use it. I would imagine that if it was as inaccurate as you think it is, they wouldn't. If I had a voltmeter that gave me a different reading each time I used it, I think I would find something else.

 

Evolution explains little and there is little proof of what it attempts to explain. It requires just as much faith as religion.

 

I think it is more believable. If not where would the particles come from that started the (theoretical) evolutionary process to begin with?
