As we live here in the world, we never know what should we expect after we die... There are some people say that they talked to God... I'm conscious about it...These questions bothering my mind....:: How? Does god has favoritism, that he select those people to talk to him? I don't know what to do? Why do we live in this world? What is our purpose here? Does we came from dust or we came from apes? Is there precious land we will live after we die? All are theories, all are visible to us... where would you believe?

There is no way I'm going to believe anything other than what's there in my bible. Science can or neither science has properly answered any questions, but religion has the proper answer to all the questions. Humans can never evolve from Ape, they are creatures with some similarity. Your questions are something which most of the people think about & unfortunately none came up with a proper answer. Happy Lotting

Both theories have probabilities to serve as facts. You can't just say that one is true and one isn't. You must be open to any explanations when it comes to the origin of life.

@imezekiel, That's a good mentality, but for me, it won't happen because both the theories are contradicting each other. If I believe in Bible, then I cannot believe in Science & vice-verse. It will be like traveling in 2 boats with one leg on one boat & other leg on the other boat.! So I prefer to stay with my God, who is my only helping hand in every stage of my Life.

God has no favoritism,God talks to us in different ways and situation. The morning sunrise even says that...and till the moon comes out. Have you ever ask yourself each morning when you wake up why you are still alive and breathing? In our sleep,we don't know anything subconsciously,we can die while sleeping isn't? But,God still let us see the next day...maybe becoz,GOD has something planned for us. Why not ask yourself for things you were missing? Maybe God wants you to do something in this life,yet,until now you didn't realize about it. Scientific theory is still theory until now,that is why it is called THEORY...nothing specific nor defined. And i don't consider the BIBLE as THEORY.

Yeah.. jaiho your right.. very well said friend. I agree with you God has a plan for everyone of us.. But some of us don't understand His plan for us.. We often question Him.. Why is it like this?.. Why is it like that?.. Why it's happening to me?.. The right question should be " GOd what I have to do to recieve your GLory?".. Evolution and creation are related to each other. Nothing will evolve if no one has created something..

I believe in the biblical account of creation. True science doesn't contradict the biblical point of view but it supports through its findings. I believe that God created us out of the dust of the earth as mentioned in the book of Genesis in the Bible. God does not play favoritism. But God is wise to be mistaken. Men like me and you have limited view of things. God's thoughts are not our thoughts; God's plans are not our plans.

Yep.. Your right Bless.. We are God's Creation and what we have to do is to understand His plan. Science and Biblical theory is interrelated. God created the things on the earth. THen it evolves but again we're not from apes we are especial.

Hmmm? Lots of questions here. I believe anyone can talk to God. I find few who actually want to. Some that do come back confused from lack of understanding for so many people see what they want to see rather than what is. God has a very high IQ. We are ants. God has a wide vision of things, hard sometimes for us to understand. People want to cheat and get all the answers from God. Knowledge must be earned if wisdom is to be acquired. Is the bible story of creation right? It is merely a story to tell your children. There aren't enough technical details. Do scientists has all the answers? They have some but there is so much yet undiscovered and even more complex than we know today. God created the universe in a bang to unfold into what we have today just like a seed grows into a tree. The universe is still unfolding and growing as we speak. Are we apes? We are spiritual beings in our true natures. We are placed in a physical body to aid in the lessons we are to learn. Does it bruise your ego how the physical body was manufactured?? Simply answers are not real answers. God is very smart. Everything is complex. There is lots for us to learn.

I honestly don't think they have to contradict each other. Einstein said something like "science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind." The bible contains all kinds of literature - history, fable, poetry, myth. I don't believe that every part of it was meant to be taken literally; especially not from our modern perspective and understanding (eg. the seven 'days' of Genesis). I do believe in God, the God of Christ, the God of the New and Old Testaments. But I believe that He guides his creation in ways that science can reveal to us in new and wonderful ways. He has given us a universe of infinite complexity and wonderful crazy beauty to explore - how can we ignore it? He has given us minds to use to understand our world and a curiosity to drive us forward. I truly do believe that, in the end, science pursued for the right purposes can only lead us closer to God.

Hi there friend.. There is nothing imposible with God right? He really created the world in seven days. The seven days written in genesis is not literaly seven days as in one week. Seven days in God's time is Seven thousand years. For 1 day in God's time is equal to 1 thousand years in our time. You can find it in 2 Peter Chapter 3 verse 8.

What a great question. Some scientists, in the process of trying to DISprove the Bible, have actually found themselves doing exactly the opposite, and they end up being scientists who DO believe in God and the Bible. As for me, nature just cannot be explained adequately by science, and nature, its wonders and perfect runnings, are the only proof I need that God does exist. Another point, the Bible is full of very accurate things that history and even science have proven time and time again. Karen

I believe in both. If you're talking about the origin of all things, I personally believe that it's the greatest mystery (better yet, it will always remain as a mystery). In my opinion, both theories either from a scientific view or in a spiritual view, can be possible. No one really knows for sure that one is a fact and the other is not. I believe both theories have probabilities to serve as facts.

God doesn't play favorites, he talks to any who will listen to him. God does not speak in rolling thunder or a loud voice, he tried to guide you by the small voice you hear in your heart, that is God. Sometimes God talks to you through other people, teachers, preachers, evangelist, all sent by God to help you. We live in this world to praise God,that is the reason we were created and the purpose for our lives. We praise God in everything we do in which he receives glory. God formed you in your mother's belly, he knew you before you were even born. No we do not come from apes. We are not human primates. We are Human Beings, made by God from the dust of the earth - which he also made. And if you listen to that small voice in your heart and accept that his son Jesus Christ came down to earth to give his life for you, then you are given eternal life. When you die, it will be like stepping from one room to another, only the other side of the door is heaven.

The way I see it, the only things that can possible exist are the things that have been proven. I am an atheist, and I look to science in everything that I follow.

Well you are completely ignoring the fact that there are thousands of other life philosophies that people live by. Not everyone falls under the catagory of "Scince Theory or Biblical Theory". If it's between Scince and the Bible I choose science. The bible has far too many contradictions for me to take it seriously.
