Welcome

Well, I'm new to this Blog thing, but it's what God would have me do. I guess the first thing to establish in conversation is: does God really exist? Before entering into this conversation, let's agree on a couple things:

• No one can either prove or disprove 100% the reality or non-reality of God.
• It takes faith (the belief in something unseen or unproven) to both believe in or to deny God.

Some quick answers:

1. If God is real, then why does He allow bad things to happen?

• If God is real, then Satan must also be real (Satan was first introduced in writing in the Bible). Put the blame where it belongs
• Read Genesis Chapters 1-3. it explains very clearly why bad things happen, and how God feels about it.

2. Where did God come from?

• It's hard to grasp, but He's just always been. Everything we see on this planet had a beginning, but there had to be an original source for all that information. God is that source.

3. Isn't evolution a better explanation for creation than the Biblical account?

• NO! Evolution offers no concrete proof in itself. Valid evidence for missing links is a missing link in itself. The methods of measuring the age of the earth are inconsistent, or incapable of accurately measuring the past.

What are your thoughts? Do you have any other questions to discuss? What bothers you about the whole God, Devil, Heaven, and Hell thing? Be honest; be real; be ready to learn.
