About the only wise act that I have ever achieved is marrying the lady who has been my wife of fifty-seven years. As for Knight, a Monarchist I am not, such a system underpins a class society. However I can tell you that in the first book of John's bible you will find that which you seek:
1 John 3:20 For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

All documentation about gods and mythology has been written by men. Whoever invented the Trinity was a man. Every word in the Bible was written by men. Man is the only candidate for all the mythologies positing one god or another. We know this because monkeys can't write.
 

I posted previously " all scripture is God inspired" there is also another script I think it was when Christ arose from the tomb that good old doubting thomas said I cannot believe it is Lord - and Christ said " thomas - put your finger in the hole in my hand" welcome doubting dave!!

sometimes the disciples got it wrong though - like Peter assuming Christ said he was going to build the Christian church based on Peter - how ridiculous - Peter was an impetuous fisherman!
 
It could have been one little experiment that went 'orrible wrong but then said " well lets see if they can fix it" then went away to another universe to start another experiment - there is a view that other "things" exist on other planetary systems - let's broaden this out a bit shall we??
 
There is too much rhythm, too much balance in our world. There is so many signs that God created this world and us. What else can you assume? Odds? chance? anyone who gambles knows about odds. This rhythm this flow, this balance?????? what are the odds?
 
yea I have never gotten that idea that we just all crawled out of the sea?? - if we had then babies would be able to swim naturally heh?

Wait. You don't believe your God is omniscient? I didn't know by heart, but a quick check says it comes from Psalm 139:1-4. I think this is widely held belief, but perhaps I am mistaken.

Isn't that the same as saying that "all scripture was written by people who used the same source"? And if so, you'd expect it to be similar, no? Even if true, it simply means they all thought alike.

99.9% of living things that have ever existed on Earth are extinct. Where was their "balance"? The reason, imo, you perceive a "balance" is because if it were not so, that living thing would have ceased to be.

Douglas Adams had an explanation that I enjoy: "This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, “This is an interesting world I find myself in—an interesting hole I find myself in—fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!” This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise."

In short, we can be fooled into thinking we sit in an ideal little bubble that must have been designed for us, because how could it accommodate us so perfectly? The reality however, is that if we picked you up and dropped you with the dinosaurs, you'd struggle, because there was only 16% oxygen at the time. Anything that couldn't handle change perished.

You likely meant this in jest - only this is not how evolution works. :D
 
OK - first go into ya bedroom ; get down on ya knees next to the bed ; hands together ; eyes closed and ask him yourself?
 
Religion threads are nearing their end when the blessed have been reduced to metaphor and quoting scripture to people who don't believe scripture.
