Nope. They only see light and measure radiation that arrives on earth or in a space telescope. That doesn't tell them it came from a "big bang". They can only speculate on where it came from. Light and radiation that arrives on earth doesn't say where it came from. You seem to think they can know everything from some radiation that arrives on earth. All they know is it is radiation from somewhere out there in space. Simple logic.

The King James Bible teaches us that God is omnipresent. He is a Spirit and is present everywhere. He is not part of the material universe. He created it. That is orthodox Biblical belief. Science is just a human pursuit. It is not a god. Don't fall into the trap of thinking science is the be all and end all. That won't be any benefit. Science has a place in the life. We learn things about how many things work, but there are some things science cannot tell you. You can't observe God as a material being because He is a Spirit as I said, . Spirits are not material beings. However, we can observe God's creation all around us and we can learn a lot about God in the Bible. God knows our thoughts and ways. There is nothing that God cannot do or know. He will judge the wicked and reward those who became his sons and daughters through faith in Jesus Christ, His Son. There is no guessing about many things about God because we have his written revelation which he gave man, in English, the King James Bible. The Bible tells us some of the characteristics of God. The Bible says "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Psalm 14:1 KJV

" Professor Christian Anfinsen (Nobel Prize for Chemistry, biochemistry of RNA, Johns Hopkins University): "I think that only an idi_t can be an atheist! We must admit that there exists an incomprehensible power or force with limitless foresight and knowledge that started the whole universe going in the first place." 23 Famous Scientists Who Believe in God It seems it would not accept the word idi_t. Funny it accepts countless other words and swearing.

You are making up an assumption or repeating an assumption that there was a big bang. God could have created the universe ten or fifteen thousand years ago just the way you see it now. There is nothing that disproves that. You are assuming there was a big bang. The Bible says God created it in a few days. Nothing mentioned about a big bang. Again that is fiction.

If you were really sticking with science, you would listen to some of the greatest scientists that ever lived who believed in God. quote Many atheists are of the opinion that you cannot be a good scientist if you are deluded by religious faith. Let's put the kibosh to that opinion by relating the religious beliefs of eminent scientists. In the early history of science, great scientists—Galileo, Newton, Descartes, Pascal—all had a deep religious faith. But suppose the atheist responds, "That was then, this is now; we know more now to justify that believing in God is a delusion." My response to this canard is to cite the theistic credo of present-day eminent scientists, many of them Nobel Prize winners. Most of these seem to be in the "hard" sciences, physics, and chemistry, rather than in biology or medical sciences. If any of you readers have ideas about the reason why physicists are more likely to be theists than biologists, I'd like to hear them. Most of the information given below is drawn from "Cosmos, Bios and Theos" by Henry Margenau, a Yale mathematical physicist, and Roy Varghese. Not all of the scientists listed in the book believe in some specific religion or even a personal God. Many are deistic, believing in a Creator, but not necessarily a God immanent in the universe. Because of space limitations, not all of those interviewed will be listed here. For more scientists who are not atheists, see the Magis article, "How these Scientists Belief in God Helped them Understand Nature." Also, download our free pdf, "A Timeline of 13 Influential Scientists" below. 23 Famous Scientists Who Believe in God repolitics wouldn't let me list some of the scientists for some reason. I didn't see any bad words or reason. It doesn't make sense. You can read about the scientists at the link I gave.

Not a chance. "However, an intriguing question arises: what lies beyond the observable universe? There are numerous additional galaxies that are beyond our visual range. The light from these distant galaxies has not had enough time to reach Earth, and due to the continuous expansion of space and the motion of galaxies, we may never get to see them. This leads us to the conclusion that the entire universe is at least 250 times larger than the observable universe, and some argue that it could even be infinite." James Webb Telescope Reveals True Size of Universe If the universe is at least 250 times larger than what they can observe, that means what I said is true. The can only see a very tiny fraction of the universe and it may be infinitely large. That means anything they say about it is pure speculation. It is impossible to prove. They know almost nothing about it other than it is unbelievably large. There may be a trillion or more galaxies. The number of stars is so great they have no idea how many stars there are. It's a guessing game. Whatever astronomers observe, that's the way God created it. Everything they say about it could be changed in the future because it is really just a guessing game. It proves that God's power is infinite.

Isn't it amazing how God created the universe and everything in it; yet so many simply cannot see it? Some say prove it, show me the science. That is where they make a deadly mistake. God doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. He created everything and everyone and doesn't need to bow to anyone. It's that simple. That's why the Bible says things like " 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. " 1 Corinthians 1:18-21 KJB God requires simple faith. Much of the Holy Scriptures were written by common people, not by the learned and not by princes and kings. God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. God looks at simple faith, not the world's most polished and most brilliant minds who claim to have all the answers. Simple faith.

When I leave this world I know where I am a going. The God who created everything sent his Son to save me and he did save me. He died for me and was raised from the dead. He died for everyone, but you must accept him as your Savior. I will be with him for eternity. What about you? Do you want to know where you are going? Read the gospel of John in the King James Bible. That tells how to be saved.

That is an empty and meaningless claim. It explains absolutely nothing. The truth is the universe and life is so complex and intricate it could never have happened without a Creator-Designer we call God. There is absolutely nothing to show how it happened apart from God. The very first verse in the King James Bible gives the answer. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Genesis 1:1 KJB The Bible even says the invisible things of God are clearly seen in the creation and are understood by the things that are made. That is God's eternal power and Godhead. So everyone is without excuse for not knowing that. In other words, all you have to do is look around at the creation and you should know God exists and created it. The physical evidence of what is stated in the Bible is right before our eyes. "19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Romans 1:19, 20 KJB Accept it by faith.

Global news reports the federal government is pushing to get Canada involved in Eurovision. Global news reported the CBC had said they didn't get involved in it previously because it was "prohibitively expensive". What has changed now? Carney? Why is the federal government now trying to find new ways to spend vast amounts of taxpayer money in Europe while the federal deficit is pushing 70 billion dollars? Budget 2025: Canada eyes Eurovision, getting cheers, jeers The answers may lie in Carney's globalism. Carney has a history of holding key positions with the WEF, the U.N., the Vatican, head of the bank of England and other organizations. He may be attempting to bring Canada into a globalist relationship with the European Union and other globalist entities. The federal government is already spending over 12 billion dollars a year on foreign countries. The biggest question, is Carney working to bring Canada or use Canada to work toward a one-world government?

Jean Charest is more of a liberal than a conservative, same as you. Why pretend to be conservative all the time. You are a liberal and you think the Conservative Party should be more liberal. What a pointless thing that would be. What would be the use of having two liberal parties and no conservative party? One just slightly more liberal than the other.

She is literally dying on the waiting list for a liver transplant. The health care system apparently has something called the MELD score that determines where one stands on the waiting list. I gather from this short video clip, this woman with a family has a liver disease, not of her own making, while some other people on the transplant waiting list are given equal priority even though they have failing livers caused by alcoholism or other self-destructive behaviors. She has an MLA who is fighting for her, but why does a person have to fight a political battle to save their own life in this health care system? By the sound of it, the health care system is not going to change anything. This is how many people have died on the waiting lists for specialized care. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/video/news/kelowna-mother-needing-new-liver-calls-out-bc-transplant-with-time-running-out/vi-AA1PXSSq?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=690f0d580f1d4f118066e1fb16827324&ei=20

No, I just can't agree. I understand all the arguments of people you quoted, but just don't agree with them. I'm sure there are at least as many who would disagree with those you quoted. I have seen some pretty horrendous tattoos on people on buses and in public. I don't think it is something Christians should be taught as acceptable. It just isn't. I quoted how a source said missionaries put a stop to heathen people decorating themselves. I doubt the people you quote would defend the way heathen in jungles decorated themselves and their head and faces. Yet tattooing falls into the same category of the heathen aboriginals in jungles and the way they painted and deformed their faces. Maybe not as extreme, but still defacing their bodies.

There are a lot of churches that accept anything these days. These churches are called seeker-friendly churches. They are trying to draw the world into their churches by accepting anything. This is not the purpose of churches.
-
Well, I wouldn't say it denies the deity of Christ, justification by faith or the resurrection. I can't tie it to those doctrines anyway. I'm not saying tattooing is apostasy, but it might be heresy. I would have to study that aspect of it more. What I think is perhaps more shocking is the people you quoted approving of tattooing of Christians or saying it is a matter of freedom. I will have to leave it at that for now.

No, I think it is more serious an issue than people you are quoting. I forgot to mention the error of women in church not a head covering. That is also contrary to the Bible and it is a very common error today. I don't see many women wearing a head covering in churches today. Whether something is heresy or not is another discussion. I also have seen men wearing baseball caps in church. That is also wrong. I see ministers wearing jeans in the pulpit and people dress very casual. People clapping frequently in church as if it is a place of entertainment. Disappointing. Maybe I'm just old fashioned. But it is contrary to the Bible.
