erm, if you're a very strong atheist or is strongly against christianity,i wouldnt actually suggest you read this blog. might have some stuff you find insulting or something.
WOW so im pretty much in an absolutely wondrous mood.
i went to popular and guess what i saw, the book version of 紫禁之巅 AND 米伽乐之舞!! they cost like $16 and $20 each so i'll VERY slowly save up. or someone could give it to me as a birthday present, of course.
well other than that, have a favour to ask of you people, if you happen to go to a christian book shop and see this book: the case for faith by lee strobel, please tell me where you found it so i can buy it! i borrowed it from jurong east regional library and it really really rocks the rock. so yep. tell me if you find it. but dont dont dont buy it for me kuz itll cost a bomb. not that anyone WILL buy it for me. but just in case!
so the book's great. & chanyi/claire if you see this it REALLY clears up the doubts we talked about on the road! like:
' if there is a God in this world, why is there so much pain & suffering? '
answer - if there is NO God in this world, how come there's so much more joy & comfort than pain & suffering in this world?
i liked that. & basically the book covers these topics:
1) since evil & suffering exist, a loving God cannot.
2) since miracles contradict science, they cannot be true.
3) evolution explains life, so God isn't needed.
4) God isnt worthy of worship if He kills innocent children.
5) its offensive to claim Jesus is the only way to God.
6) a loving God would never torture people in hell.
7) church history is littered w oppression & violence.
8) i still have doubts, so i can't be a christian.
dargh it rocks. the whole thing. like how it attacks all these sceptic's comments by giving SCIENTIFIC & INTELLECTUAL reasoning not just stuff like GOD IS SMARTER THAN US, HAVE FAITH IN HIM, KUZ THE BIBLE SAYS SO, DOOFUS.
like one of the arguments why evolution is bullshit.
things, have to evolve FROM something, right? if not it'll be called CREATION. so yes. [stupid darwin and his stupid theory. no offence or anything.] so basically this thing would have to come from the things present on earth @ that time. which means living things have to be somehow created out of non-living things.
this dude, miller, did an experiment on that. he 'recreated' the atmosphere of primitive earth, using methane, ammonia & hydrogen, then letting electricity [simulating effects of lightning] through it, thus creating amino acids which ARE living things. @ that time, it was major breakthrough to prove that living things CAN be created by chemical elements in our atmosphere. he was apparently almost given a nobel award.
however in 1980, NASA scientists showed that primitive earth never had any methane, ammonia or hydrogen. what it DID have, however, were inert & unreactive gases like carbon dioxide & nitrogen, as well as water. thus the theory was rubbish & evolution has no basis.
so ppl started having OTHER theories on how evolution started.
#1, random chance. which means the chemicals were mixed around for a LONG time to create protein. but four billion years is not enough for that to happen. & even if it did happen, if you took the entire universe's carbon and put it on the face of the earth, allowed it to chemically react @ the most rapid rate possible, left it for a billion years, odds of creating ONE functional protein molecule is one in 10 with 60 zeroes after it.
#2, that amino acids will spontaneously link up in e right sequence to create e protein molecules out of which living cells are made. this was proven wrong because sequencing has nothing to do with chemical preferences.
#3, seeding from space. if this is TRUE, then the scientists STILL havent solved the question, because the same thing would have happened elsewhere and they need to figure THAT out!
#4, oceans vents. oceans have warm waters to sustain life, but they are unable to sequence chemicals to make life. water does not happen to be particularly reactive in this case.
theres a lot more scientific stuff. isnt it kool like they use science to explain how God exists. & how other scientific theories are crap.
ahh well i'll stop talking now. the maid's cooking curry and it smells amazing.
