  • Christianity is the most attacked on the internet, it proved without a doubt that its special, superior and the absolute truth.

  • @checkonit123 -.-

  • @checkonit123 you just don't respect other religions and thought do you? How dare you say christianity is the truth? You mean to say that budism, hindu, islam and other religions and thoughts are absolutely stupid? I am an athiest myself but I respect other ways of thinking and don't argumentate saying that science is the "absolute truth". Many wars were created because of stupid people that didn't respect each other. You are being ignorant. Enough said

  • @LightningUsagi well it's not something we say of our own intuition, but something out Master himself Jesus Christ said.It's not an honorable thing to deny truth, but you begin off with the assumption that no such thing exists in spiritual realms and so every view should be respected. But why is it thought so impossible that God cannot just reveal himself to us? He has in the person of Jesus Christ.

    God bless you and have a wonderful night

  • @GodLovesUs100 At least atheists TRY to re spect other religions. You christians are rude, self centered and unrespectful. Could you MAKE AN EFFORT in trying to realize that other people have different views and religions? Is it too hard to acept differences in people?

  • @LightningUsagi Well I understand full well that people have different views and I respect them as people, but if I truly believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Savior of the World, how could I possibly respect any view that says otherwise, that blasphemes my Lord? Our intention is not to be rude, but to only say what Jesus himself said about himself.The only way that can be considered self-centered is if you start off assuming there is no absolute truth.

  • Aw man! This is amazing! I like this girl

  • God Bless

  • Why not just accept that it was God who gave her this ability since God created everything, then of course he gave her that ability too,stop making excuses if she says it was God -especially living in an atheist family and not knowing how to read at the age of three ,then of course it is God.

  • If you do not believe in another persons faith, you are entitled to disagree, you are not entitled to belittle someone or criticize on the sole basis of their faith. Chances are from what I've read you are NOT christian. That's up to you, in America we have the right to freedom of religion. We respect your right, and in turn you need to respect others. In putting duct tape over someones mouth you don't agree with, you will only serve to put duct tape over your own.

  • Such a dumbass. All the attention went to her head.

  • Her Mysterious Inspiration probably came through some albums, If Akiane [or anyone] reading this, just check the history, At sometime you were probably introduced to many Artistic works.

    On the subject of her art, It's simple, her paintings' surfaces' are not detailed at all, and her colours are really... basic; Her strongest area is value, Her contours are also well-made, but better than that... I see that her art is not special at all.

  • @AhmedOnMoment Google's dictionary's 1st definition of "special": "Better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual"

    How many children at 9 years old can you recall paint like that? If any, its no where near the majority of 9 year old artists. Does it mean that Akiane is better or greater? You chose. Either way, she is "different from what is usual", Thus, she is SPECIAL.

    And in case you were curious, I'm atheist. I don't believe its God, but I do see that she has a talent for detail.

  • Oh yeah, She's a Good Artist [Or just... Above Intermediate], What is the fuckin reason? Is it God, No, It'd be better called Visual Hallucinations; The reason is really: She practiced much, began drawing at age 4 will without a doubt reach a good state when they are are 14-16; As very well someone who begins at 14 would be very good at 22 [Think Rembrandt];

    Judging on her artistic work, Her paintings are good once you begin scratching the surface. No real dimensionality.

  • @AhmedOnMoment Wow, I do feel bad for you. We have a choice to accept Jesus or not. Again, I do feel sorry for the life you will live if you don't accept HIM as our Lord and Savior. 

  • @AhmedOnMoment you obviously have no idea of what artwork of a typical 4 year old looks like or even an eight year old for that matter. No way do they have the developmental ability to draw in the manner in which she did. If she says it is God who inspires her and gives her her ability then she would know.

  • I absolutely LOVE everything about this !

  • @mrcatfacefrog Satan wants us to share the same punishment, after judgement day which is burning in the lake of fire day and night, night and day, with no rest for eternity. Satan n his demons are real. I encounter them a lot. Some people think I have sleeping Paralysis, but I encounter when I am wide awake. They can't even explain that. God gave us a choice to believe in him or not. It is your God given free will not to accept him, even if there are millions of evidence of his existence.

  • I don't mind believing in a "God" as long as I may think of the "concept" as anything but limited to how the bible pictures it...but I know that's pushing it. I can tell that her devotion to her faith is infallible. It's nothing I have.

  • YOUR A GOOD DRAWER AND I BELIEVE IN GOD LIKE YOU DO

  • i'm not sure whether to feel sorry for her or angry at her -__-

  • @nihilistgum

    why ?

  • @andromisilibrober she's just so. . .blissfully unaware. like, to the point where it's sickening to listen to her speak. she's obviously very talented with art in a technical sense, but her work is probably the most boring stuff i've ever seen in my life, same with her 'poetry'. it's cliché in every way possible, as are the ideas that she poses along with her artwork. i'm not denying that she's a child prodigy, but the fact is that she's far to naïve and unoriginal to be a good artist.

  • My Piano teacher introduced a book to me call Heaven is For Real By Todd Burpo the little boy this book is about met the girl in the video!!! He is 11 now I think but you should get it from somewhere! Im reading it but right now im on the first chapter still but just please check it out! Its GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • if you don't believe, this and the Colton Burpo story will compel you to. God IS!

  • @lilliligirl3

    Have you read the book Heaven is For real???? That book is about him!!! Im reading it right now! hehehe its pretty AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Check out her new movie its called Hope for Humanity such an amazing film with other child prodigies.

  • Check out her new movie its called Hope for Humanity such an amazing film with other child prodigies.

  • thank you so much Akiane Kramarik

  • 36 people do not believe in God, are jealous or weren't moved by this girl's gift.

  • "He's taking care of me like i was a little butterfly",- Not making fun of her, I just think that's hilarious!

  • wow. thats incredible.

  • @SwagMine So Everyone always ask me How do you get through this? You have lost everything! When I saw your one sentence on the first page last message., it reminded me what I always say.. This awful Disease May have taken everything from me But the one thing It can never take from me is my Faith..(Amen) Just wanted to thankyou for all of your videos, Beautiful Paintings,your spiritual visions.I have been homebound for over 4 years, Now I have something to come and enjoy everyday..Thankyou

  • @SwagMine Can You Please say a prayer for my Son and I..My Mother is having us a Fundraiser in a few weeks So we can raise money for our treatment in another state for our Chronic Lyme Disease. I Do know that prayer can do wonders. Thank you again for sharing your life with us..GodBless You Akiane

  • she is "connected"..... you can give it whatever label you want ...I guess that depends on your beliefs.. Regardless of where she gets this...she is incredible!

  • Jenna Jameson is Akiane of sucking cock.

  • This is Akiana, one of the best artists I have seen in a while. MUST SEE!

  • Akiana's. One of the best artists on earth. MUST SEE! Get inspired!

  • William Blake also had 'visions' which lead him to paint. Just like akiane kramarik, his visions began when he was very young, He saw angels in his garden. Blake made poetry too. Blake outraged society with his attacks on the church in his day through his poetry.

    "the catterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys"

    But Blake was quite religious & said he was instructed by Angels to write & paint & that the angels loved his work.

  • give me a paint brush , expensive paint and a giant canvas and i could easily make the stuff she does....

    hahhah just kidding shes really talented

  • very odd... i think she's insanely talented and perhaps a prodigy, but when compared to Leonardo, another brilliant mind, she's a world apart.

    if she relies on the influence of God for all her art, how will she ever branch into other areas as an artist, like commissions (pets, people, places, things)

  • it's a shame that god didnt give this girl acting lessons because she is clearly very happy with the attention she gets, she probably got elterns who dont give a crap about her and she was looking for something/body that she could look up to, like all girls at that age.

    The problem is with the people that still believe in god when they are already 16 years old or something. DAMN STONERS

  • She is beautiful!! - an angel on earth, giving us heavenly gifts...

  • This is splendidly impressive. What a way to calm the spirit.

  • Wow a Beautiful young smart girl who just loves god so much

  • Philippians 2:14-16 14Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16as you hold out the word of life

  • This principle reminds me of authisem.

  • I wish my computer audio was working right now because I would love to hear her interview. I did get her book- and it has left a strong impression on me. Like it or not folks- this girl has met God and she has found her calling early in life. It should make us all examine ourselves-- what are we doing with our own lives? It makes me examine myself, and I see how far I am from where I should be spiritually . Thanks Akiane for accepting God's will in your life.

  • such simple and pure Faith...LOVE IT!!

  • Absolutely amazing.. what a beautifull Child..

  • @yerac123 I agree. This is a very special soul whom we are blessed with.

  • It's always the smart people who are the most ignorant. It seems to me that the people who watch this sort of stuff and then bash it are really just threatened. why do you think God was mad when man gained knowledge. ignorance is bliss. and from what ive seen in my life, the simple faithful people always seem to be the more happy.

  • Wonderful Akiane! You can show a miracle to some people and they don't even know how to comprehend it, so they say rude stupid things. Just be you, and stay loving no matter what.

  • Thanks for sharing your gift Akiane.....you're amazing.

  • She mentions God in every sentence...

  • A miracle. No dobt. I paint and come close to what this child does. She was given given these gifts because she is pure and knows who she will touch others with her story. Not to mention she isn't afraid to tell her story as so many are. The minute you mention GOD and unbelivers belittle you. She isn't worried about it because she hasn't been poisone buy society and naysayers.

  • ok...when was the universe "created"?

  • God Bless her. I just hope she keeps her connection to God and to Our Lord as she gets older and is tempted by life. Kudos to her parents and... thank you GOD!!!

  • fruitcake for life but nice art anyway

  • Amen to that LOL!

  • she is so sweet - God bless her!

  • Haha, jealous? The God of the universe and of all creation is raising up artists, musicians, writers, and other prodigies to try and GET YOUR ATTENTION! But, as a famous Jewish man who split time in two once said, "even if a man were to be raised from the dead you would not believe." Maybe its time we pay attention.

  • Wow. I find it hard how you can explain how a 4 year old teaches herself to paint, play the piano, and finds God in an atheist home. What more miracles does God (Jesus) have to do to get peoples attention? In the bible he healed the blind, deaf, crippled, dead, he spoke to the wind and it was calm, he spoke to the waves and they were still, he healed leprosy and rose from the dead after 3 days. Yet you still dont believe?

  • Oh I believe in CREATION the true god of creation, not aliens from another planet that called themselves gods by man and prayed to them like you do, without knowing the truth. When you learn the truth about god and the the truth about (jesus (Jmmanuel ) then you will know how such miracles where done!

  • @jkmoto46

    In Lord of the Rings, the evil guy Sauron created the One Ring to rule them all and risked all hell until a brave band of heroes who had found the ring went to Mt. Doom to destroy it.

    I believe this cause I read it in a book :)

  • Hey, at least you know who wrote your book!

  • @jkmoto46 this is so much more then about christianity, not everyone can cope with eternity/religion since the mind is not capable of comprehensing it

  • @jkmoto46

    LoL, why do you think jesus is God, and not just some epic old soul that God created?

  • @rowania Hello rowania. I will tell you how I know that Jesus is God. I was a broken, empty and wasted life. I could not walk through this life one more inch. I was overcome by feelings of ending my own life. I was raised going to church but I never really knew God. I thought I did. But I did not know Him. I knew religion.

  • @rowania ,Then, on a day, when I turned to the Word of God (Bible) for guidance, my life was changed overnight. The pain in my Heart was gone. I had a peace that I never ever had before. Not even for a second did I have peace. I also had a vision that was'nt explainable. It was not like a dream. It was much more real than even me writing this. I was like a little boy and I said " Jesus...JESUS... and I heard this.." I AM".. Go read the O.T.or the N.T. or look up on the internet about ' I AM".

  • @rowania I will tell you also someting that you can get an I dea that I am telling the truth.... I call it a vision because that is the only word I can think of to describe it, But I saw nothing. I was not permitted to see Him. This proof wont work for everyone but I promise you that It is absolute proof for me. This whole world can stop believing tomarrow and I will not. I know! No one can take that from me.

  • @rowania If you want proof of Jesus being God, Surrender your life to Him and trust him to guide your every footstep. Ask Jesus To Live in your heart. Give him your broken life and He will give you a new one that has soo much peace and it never goes away. That is absolute evidence.

  • @rowania If you do not get Peace, as evidence, of The Spirit Of Jesus Living in your heart, than continue not believing in him. But I promise if you lay down your life to serve His purpose and Trust Him, He will give you more than all the money in the world could buy. God Bless you Rowania.

  • @jkmoto46

    Well, that's a nice story, and is the same as my story, except i found God.

    I know from my esoteric research and studies, that Jesus Christ is the oldest soul ever created, and he is very powerful, trillions of years old, and is involved with almost all of God's creation since the beginning.

    However, he still is a creation.

    I think it's cool to revere, love, admire and strive to be like christ.

    But i just feel like God alone is sufficient for me to worship.

    Peace be with you.

  • @rowania Thank you Rowania. I believe that Jesus is God. I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If you were to put water in a cup, water in a bucket, & water in a well, would they not all be called water? I believe the Spirit of God has 3 forms. Father , Son, and Spirit. Jesus called himself " I Am" ,a term alone used for God. He was also given a "name above all names." Jesus also allowed people to fall at His feet 2 worship Him. He wasnt created but "Begotten"

  • @jkmoto46 Incredible talent is one possible option. God given or not is open for debate.

    "In the bible", not evidence. Sorry.

  • @NPC919 I really have a hard time understanding what u need 4 proof. A 4 yr old girl teaches herself 2 paint pictures that r so truely incredible, she teaches herself to play the piano at an extremely high level & has given account that she has seen Jesus and has talked with Him. Her account isn't coaxed by her parents as they were atheist or at best agnostic & never spoke of God or the bible.

  • @NPC919 (#2) I have a very intelligent 4 yr old girl & a very intelligent 6 yr old boy none of which can write neatly yet or clap to a beat in time. This is all the proof you will ever get as God refuses to reveal Himself to people who refuse to look beyond scientific proof. In the end, if this proof is not enough for your belief in Him, than that will not be Gods mistake to have shown you more, but your mistake to have not opened your eyes and mind up enough to see Him

  • @jkmoto46 Stop saying my mind isn't open. It's the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard. While science has been forced to open it's mind countless times again and again, and has actually made an effort to truly understand the universe, religion has just sat, unmoving in the same place for thousands of years. And every time someone tries to suggest another point of view they blow up and slander them and/or kill them.

    If anything you are the one who is closed minded.

  • @jkmoto46 Secondly, even if there is any evidence, such as this incredibly talented young girl, to suggest god is fact, science still outweighs it evidentially. Believing something on the basis it is evidentially more likely to be the case does not make me close minded, it makes me practical.

    And practical does not mean scientific fan-boy, it isn't as simple as you believe in god or your a maths major who shuns the right side of their brain completely.

  • @NPC919 I do agree with you when you say "science is open minded", but only in some areas. Science reserves the right to change what they believe at any given time when they find what they consider evidence that points in a different direction. I also do believe that "religion has just sat." However I am not talking about religion or a religious organization, I am speaking of The living God. Which Is Jesus. He hated religion as you & I also do as you can see with His dealings with the Pharisees

  • @NPC919 Also, if we look at science & their history to see how they evolved, how many times were they wrong before they were right? Were they wrong in ancient biblical times when they said the earth was flat & if u walked too far u may fall of the earth? Science also said the earth sat on the back of an animal...They now know the earth to be round which is the truth, so how then do u explain how Isaiah said the earth was a circle before science even fathomed the idea? Isaiah 40: 22 explain ...

  • @jkmoto46 Also, you are choosing to trust the minds of some very intelligent scientific men with your very soul. If Jesus is right, and you trusted the brilliant scientific men, then you died and the scientists changed their very brilliant mind to agree with account of hundreds of people in the bible would you be upset that you lost your eternity for trusting science instead God? The fact that the bible remains without being disproven for this long speaks volumes for its authenticity & accuracy.

  • @NPC919 Also, you are choosing to trust the minds of some very intelligent scientific men with your very soul.

The fact that the bible remains without being disproven for this long speaks volumes for its authenticity & accuracy.

  • @jkmoto46 This is the fear. This is when religion tries to regain control via fear. The "well what if you're wrong" move. I do not believe in, nor respect this. It's a cheap shot used to keep society in check for generations.

    Arguably I would be upset, but I put my faith in them none the less on the basis they simply have more points than god.

    The bible is one of those things that can't be proven nor can it be disproven. How can you disprove or prove something that is neither here nor there?

  • @NPC919 You didnt answer my question... How did Isaiah know the earth was the shape of a circle, before science had discovered it? And again, I am not speaking of religion, But of the Living God and creator of life. (The fear factor) If I told you, Do not set sail in the sea today because a very dangerous storm is coming and you will surely die, would you tell me to quit using the fear factor to keep u from doing as u please? You are making eternal decisions with temporary scientific knowledge.

  • @jkmoto46 I think I did actually. By figuring it out perhaps?

    This depends, because I would believe you if the skies were cloudy, if there was thunder and if the weather forcast had warned me. Is that so wrong to look for these rational reasons? I do not see enough reasons to take your word for it.

    There is nothing to suggest to me that my eternity is on the line here. If it really mattered so much, God should make FAR bolder steps to warning me than a talented kid here and there.

  • @NPC919 I just wanted to inform you that the skies are cloudy and there is thunder and you are being warned. Science has no idea how to explain: Evil, Hate, Love, Happiness, Peace, Good, or how the body, nature, planets, space, micro organisms, all things living are SO complex, yet you and science say all was created by the perfect explosion. Huh? The storm is coming and it will overtake you unless you find a ship worth sailing

  • @jkmoto46 You can't fight blind faith with data.

    No matter what I tell you, you wont recognise my reasoning. Just know I don't pin myself to science as you do to god.

    There are no clouds, because I see none. There is no thunder, because I hear none.

    You'll probably shake your head and think of me as ignorant and not open minded for saying that, but it's just rational.

  • @NPC919 Sir Or Mrs, I appreciate your sincerity. I do not think of you as ignorant. Your intelligence in the things of the world exceeds that of most people. I also totally understand your carefulness to put your trust in something as big as Faith in God is. I would never ask someone to put their trust in something blindly. There is many things science cant understand nor explain but you do blindly trust their answers as we all have.

  • @jkmoto46 (cont 2) Then as the we grow tired from the work of the day, God turns slowly turns the lights down, allowing us the time to navigate home safely. Then God turns the light of the sun off so that we may sleep sound and be rested but just in case you may have to go out for something in the middle of the night he leaves the night light of the moon on so that you may see and not stumble. can all this just happen so perfectly by itself?

  • @NPC919 (cont.) But the perfect balance of life is unfathomable. When we wake God turns the light of the sun on so we may see. The sun also keeps us warm so that we live. When u see the sun fade behind the clouds life saving H2O soon falls & life is preseved. But we contaminate the water with the filth of our waste & the things we use water 4. So it just so happens that water goes back up to the heavens leaving behind all contaminants & falling down again clean..The perfect explosion or design?

  • @jkmoto46 Who knows? We certainly don't. So don't tell me I'm going to hell when you don't know the answers yourself.

    I opt for beauty in spontaneity. It's not impossible.

  • @jkmoto46 No. The world spins, creating light and dark on different sides at other times. As humans, we have adopted this repetitive large scale occurrence into our cycles.. We wake by the sun and sleep by the moon- but this is far from the case for the rest of earths creatures. The sun is so powerful that it's light spreads all over the solar system, lighting up the moon constantly. There is never a full dark in the world, our star and others illuminate. Yes, this can happen by itself.

  • @jkmoto46 not all of science agrees on the big bang. And even so, the "perfect explosion" didn't create all of this. indirectly perhaps, but just because everything has happened and you think it's so nice does not have anything to do with perfection, or intelligent creation. Things have been around a lot longer than 7 days, and one event leads to another, and so on. Do you think the universe,and everything for the matter, leans towards organizing itself or being chaotic?

  • @jkmoto46 Continuing on...

    Otherwise, who is to blame here? Me for following rationality, facts, my intuition, my own logical reasoning over blind faith? Or god, for not giving me the heads up I deserve? Who can honestly blame me for simply following rationality over guess work and faith?

  • @jkmoto46 Because its not your piece of shit christian god. Its a god who is undefinable, untouchable; who permeates all sects and religions but belongs to none of them. It is not god (jesus). There have been men born on this earth just as great as jesus, perhaps greater. We are not all born with "original sin", with things to repent for like you people would like to think. Everyone is born clean, beautiful, pure- The world of now is sin. The world of now introduces sin, and corrupts.

  • @mrcatfacefrog, Sir a man raises the dead, makes the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, walks on water, speaks to the wind and the waves and they obey, changes water into wine, feeds 5 thousand people with a few loaves of bread and a few fish and had leftovers, casts out demons, restores shrivled hands, this man claimed to be one with God, and so many people believed with all their heart that He was God the too were killed for His name and you say Jesus is a piece of s#!* god? You will see

  • @mrcatfacefrog If u believe we are all born innocent can you explain how people are born retarded, deaf, blind, dead, crippled, diseased, and so on. The original sin is that we live in a world where sin exists and our conception was in a world of sin by people who have sinned. God is perfect. This world is not perfect. Can a perfect God create something imperfect? There is only one way to God and that is Jesus. What you have done is create your own God by creating a character u imagine is right

  • @mrcatfacefrog In heaven we will be made whole & pure. That is exactly what Jesus was showing u in the bible. Only the creater can raise the dead, make the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf here, calm the storm, which is exactly what he did in my soul. I dont just believe in a God, I know Him. No 1 could've fixed me but God. I was a destroyed soul. Can u explain why I was so desperate 1 night I read the bible & ask Him to fix me & I heard Him speak audibly in a vision. I was fixed that night.

  • @mrcatfacefrog I just knoooow you ain't talking crazy about my Savior. The same person you talk crazy too, is the same person who breath life unto U and send your tail to to this earth through your mother womb. I'm just letting you know that Jesus is real and he can down to earth as a human sacrifice for every sin mankind committed, so we won't go to hell. Satan exist too and his job is to keep people away from the truth, so his stankin tail can win souls to hell.

  • @jkmoto46 Very well said! :D

  • You can tell by her voice she speaks from her heart & those kind of voice speaks directly into your core being. There's gentleness & softness in her voice that shows God's grace & compassion for humankind. She mentioned in her drawing that she particularly loves drawing the eyes because the eyes tell the whole story. For being such a young individual to describe & draw in such details in the eyes proves that she has a special relationship with God that's unobstructed by foreign influences.

  • she sounds like Jack McBrayer in forgetting sarah marshall

  • Her paintings are beautiful! As a fellow teenage artist I can really appreciate the intense love and frustration that is put into a painting. This girl is obviously very talented in her work.

  • Over the years we have all been lied to by many false Religous Leaders and so called prophets. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false leaders. If you are a truth seeker please visit the web site which is displayed in our user name and take the time to read some of the articles... You will be very shocked.

    There is a great audio there for you to listen to. You will come away asking many questions.

    Blessings

    Thanks Ben

  • 1) Possibly the greatest mathematical prodigy who ever lived, Srinivasa Ramanujan, believed that his solutions to equations were delivered to him in his dreams by "god"... except in his case it was the Hindi goddess Namagiri. If this girl had been born in Ramanujans hometown shed be going on about Krishna. When we do things with our brains or bodies that may feel or appear to be superhuman, its tempting to look to the supernatural, but it's an easy-out that snubs our human potential.

  • Sounds like she's rocking your boat a little there cosmodeus. Interesting that her "genetic fluke" brain gave her words she hadn't heard before, then fully composed poetry, a face that talked to her with detailed conversations about heaven, plans for earth, and a mission at 4 years old to help children around the world, and become a professional artist by age 7. The Hour of Power interview said she prayed all day one day for a Jesus model, and a 7 ft. carpenter came to her door the next day!

  • 2) This girl has a phenomenal gift and possessing it may be for her an intensely numinous feeling, but her misattribution of her abilities to Jesus-- instead of to the immense potential of the human brain, especially in genetic fluke prodigies like herself-- is just a classic case of projecting what one doesnt understand onto the nearest available belief system (Christianity).

  • 3) A shame really that even humanitys brightest lights can act so dim; in her defense, the part of the prefrontal cortex required for critical thinking (including re-evaluating your own childhood assumptions) isn't fully developed until late adolescence. Maybe in adulthood shell realize that her talent is actually a triumph of neural-evolutionary development, and shell get around to painting some nice portraits of Darwin instead! Cant wait!

  • if she says she gets these visions that she paints from God or some higher being why cant you just accept that. And even when you look at the paintings you can immediately sense that they are from some sort of higher spiritual source.

  • I certainly accept that someone can have an intense feeling of divine inspiration, a numinous feeling in the brain that some 'higher power' is guiding them. What I lament is that people with a mystical experience almost invariably turn to a certain man-made belief system to make sense of and express it. Why can't they be separate? For an excellent discussion of this I recommend watching on YouTube "The Four Horsemen HD Hour 1 of 2" specifically from the 9 to 14 minute mark and at 21:30.

  • @cosmodeus The answer to all the above questions & others is a one word answer, " Design".... Isnt it odd that when we wake & our day begins God turns the lights on ( The sun)? Which just so happens 2 be set at the perfect distance ( Billions of miles) 2 create the environment that allows life to flourish? Humm... Or Isnt it odd that when it is time for rest , at the end of our day, that God turns the lights off, so we may sleep..

  • @cosmodeus (continued)But just in case we need 2 wake 4 somthng at night He gives us a little night light "the moon". Or as we all need H20 2 live, poop in it, pee in it, wash r pits with it, but it dosnt stay dirty. There is this thing called evaporation that takes r H2O 2 the sky & leaves behind the filth we used it 2 clean away, & it doesnt stay in the sky, it falls back down & it is new H2O again. when u get time, ask ur frontal cortex if this is all by chance or is that by design?

  • @cosmodeus Wow could I tell you some awesome accounts of the reality of Jesus. But I will not tell you because you have exalted your intelligence to be above God. But can you explain how you have to teach a child to tell the truth yet you do not have to teach them to lie? Can you explain why a child is scared of monsters as a child yet none exist? Why is it when a person needs the most care ( at infancy) that everything they do makes us laugh. They fart we laugh, they pee on us, we laugh?

  • Althought I don't share the same perception as must do of God, I refuse to be close minded. to deny the existance of a magnificent force that guides the flow.

    although certain events and in someways religions have put me on the verge of total disbelieve,sparks of hope like akiane happen, reminding me that I can't just put a label on things or me: "I am not religious, I am not an atheist", I am just a simple student in this vast universe who have yet to figure the most simple lesson.

  • I don't really care about the god thing - if people want to worship god or whatever, i have no problem with that, its a free world. But looking at this objectively - the art is mind-numblingly insipid and the kid is a bit loopy...talk about delusions of grandeur.

  • im not a big fan of art..but she is my favorite artist :D

  • She is adorable, humble and gifted! and brilliant!! sSo stop the jealousy!! She has faith people! Don't hate on her, because you have little faith.

    She is not even 13 and paints like Michaelangelo!

    Someone wrote.."product of Evolution?!" Give me a break!!

    (If I told you that you were going to begin life the size of a microdot, grow inside a uterus, and birthed through a vagina..) you would not believe me! it's only because you can see with your eyes. Have faith!

  • this kid is great but everyone has a gift like this in them but maybe not right now.

  • She heard voices?? Isnt that called schizophrenia?

  • Akiane is a messenger from God,our God ,everyones loving God ,and we need to listen to what God through her is saying to us all.

  • A person with a good memory and who can visualize 3d images can do the same thing as Akiane can...

  • CBasie2856

    Then do it.

  • I have a good memory and can visualize 3dimensional images, but I can not paint like she can, what you saying is bull, she has talent

  • She's fifteen now but she doesn't seem to have produced anything the last couple of years. I'm waiting with anticipation.

  • maybe she's happy with wat shes accomplished...

  • Or may be God is?

  • Wow. a lot of these comments are hurtful. We're talking about a 13 year old here. Give her some space.

  • She's 15 now, silly.

  • This girl is amazing. I'm just dissapointed that she thinks there's an invisible being governing her life. That thing that she hears that tells her things is called a conscience. In fact replace god with the phrase "my conscience" and you'll find something truely beautiful and somebody who really loves herself, which to me is very inspiring.

  • thats not true MJ walkathon!! God exists an SPEAKS 2 us. I hear from him too. HE LOVES YOU . did u know that ? God is a spirit. And HE is the Creator. she draws propheticly and my husband does Also . I get music from heaven and I can see into peoples Lives.

    All the pain that you suffer will go away I feel HE wants 2 say 2 u. right now u r in a circumstance which is confusing for u and God wants to fill your Life with peace of mindset and LOVE on you. He wants you 2 know that HE loves U.

  • Just like You are a person, that is your spirit, GOD is a person. He is really A father 2 them who loves him and seeks HIM and his wonderful path for us 2 live in our being and in our talents, which are more than u can think of!!!!!

  • i really never understood why Christains usually assume that if you dont believe in their god that you're unhappy. Actually i almost feel insulted by it, because i'm naturaly perfect and perfectly happy.

    Also if god was such a great person, being, what ever he is, wouldn't he want me to be happy with or without him?

    I also thought that hearing voices from imaginary beings made you crazy, and the real-er you made them the crazier you were. i guess it's different when it's called god.

  • of course God wants everyone to be happy.. but He is the ONLY way to being truly happy.. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life," there is no eternity and no true happiness without Him, there's no other way..

  • God is a spirit

  • To you, Frank, God may only be a spirit, but to Christians God is a spirit and a man -- Jesus.

  • not exactly, to Christians we believe there is a God a Jesus and a holy sprit..aka father, son holy spirt :)

  • right. Thank you

  • I am a christian and i dont think Jesus is a man. I believe he was a man ONCE when he was in this world. He ascended to heaven rem
