again, that there are few in evangelical circles who are born agin, this is to be expected, for it is written strait is the gate and narrow is theway AND FEW THERE ARE WHO FIND IT.

so this will continue, there is no alternative, for the people REFUSE to seek the Lord to REPENT.

but even being born again is not enough, for the first thing a born again becomes is a babychristian: ie carnal. and most never advance.

i ws angry at it once, as Mr Piper is. there is no point, i only wore myself out

many in your churches are not born again either...evangilicals do have the real deal but I agree many of them are off course and his points are true but he is prejudice toward the rest of the church acsept your kind...your kind reject the rest of the church instead of going to it...you will be judged for that...

Even if there were multiple universes by way of string theory and quantum uncertainty this would only beckon more evidence for a Creator. I sympathize with your criticism, it's difficult to believe in God even for the Christian sometimes out of our cowardice and selfishness. Who wants to tell people about Hell? Consider absolute morality. In a world of peace there must be one morality, one consensus..this universal drive causes us to seek God for He is absolute. What we look for, what we need.

@TheTGJesusfreak I already gave god a chance. There is no proof for intelligent design. The earth is NOT special. Although we haven't discovered another planet like our own with all these special attributes that make life possible there is no reason to believe that there is not life on other planets. Because there are countless hundreds of millions of galaxies within our Universe...and the fact that there are many more Universes how are we special? There can be life in harsh environments.

@marcaltus1977 and lastly about the stars and galaxies. That's even MORE proof of an intelligent design.

1. we have yet to find ONE star like or as stable as our sun.

2. our own moon is the PERFECT distance from the earth and keeps us very stable and steady.

3. the gas giants are prefectly positioned, their gravity protects us from interstellar objects.

4. We are in just the right place in our galaxy, between 2 spiral arms.

I'm asking you to honestly consider the possibility of God.

@marcaltus1977 You neglect other facts. for one is evolution:

I like to think of evolution like this; you put all the thousands of parts of an engine, bolts and screws alike in a big box. Then you shake that box for 100,000,000,000,000 years. Will it EVER assemble itself into an engine? Will the bolts tighten down perfectly? No, there HAS to be someone to assemble it.

and String theory is is just that.... a THEORY. There is literally no proof for it dude.

@glowplug007 Exactly =)

[glowplug007]

@marcaltus1977 you neglect to mention science has been equally unable to prove there is no God.......
