Fear shouldn't be a part of it.
So true.
For me, I know there is a God. I have experienced and seen things that remove any doubt in my mind that there is something more out there than just what we can see.
According to TV3 news tonight, religion beats science because NZ's oldest woman died at 113. I think it was her doctor who reckoned that she'd lived so long because she said her prayers every day - LOL.
pah, what about all those christian cults that don’t allow medicine, just prayer - I think you will find that science pwns religion when it comes to keeping people alive
.... in fact, there is a TV show that plays on Shine TV that documents such cases. .....
There is a documentary about how they have recreated dinosaurs from D.N.A from mosquitoes, but they got out of control and started killing people.... They will be making up a lot of the stuff in that show
Edit: I meant that in a funny way. But on a serious note, there are many reports of the power of prayer bringing miraculous healing or even bringing people back to life - in fact, there is a TV show that plays on Shine TV that documents such cases. I guess my point is, this is veering away from the original argument again.
such as?
Things I have experienced or seen that make me believe there is something/someone out there...This almost deserves its own thread.I have on several occasions felt God's love for me so strongly and tangible that it pales every other experience I have ever had.I have seen - and I am not talking in a big show or stadium - a persons leg get prayed for (as it was shorter than the other) and grow six inches longer. And another on a different occasion (and person) a leg grow 2 inches longer - and I am not talking about his middle leg.I have had somebody pray for me and felt the bones in my body move and straiten and a tingling sensation that moved through my body as I was prayed for. Sounds crazy huh - It wasn't what I expected at all.There are many others but less tangible and harder to explain. They are some experiences that I can personally vouch for. I understand the power of the mind to conjure up what it wants and needs and these are examples that I believe are not conjured up by my or anybody else's mind.I am sure there are other examples of miracles pwn science. Anybody else brave enough to share some?
My girlfriend once got down on her knees and with her magicals powers made something grow 6 inches longer right infront of my eyes!
Krasher, why do you believe that it is a christian god that made the things you describe happen?Is it because you can concieve of no other explanation?
As I said earlier...it's the best I have so far. Given the context it made/makes the most sense. It may be possible that Buddha answers prayers that are prayed to the Christian God but I am not sure that it's his style. Fair question though, but given the context it is a logical conclusion IMHO. Also, I think my point was more that it wasn't science that answered the prayers. Just trying to keep to the whole Science V's Religion theme.Soz about double post.
where did u see this leg growing 6 inches?
Why must it be spiritual at all? I see no proof of divine intervention.When your spine is out of alignment it sometimes (always?) causes a tilt in the hips. This tilt causes one leg to be longer and the other to be shorter. If your hips were 3 inches out of alignment then you would have serious back problems and i imagine you would be unable to walk.My feet were out by about an inch once and i was in agony.
At a small church service held in a building at Auckland uni.That's probably why he wanted prayer.There is no point me trying to prove to you it is real. I can really only believe it like I do because I saw it.
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
