Question by altex44: How can one believe in religion when there is concrete evidence that the world was created 4.5 billion?
It seems as if people are sucked into religion like they are sucked into cults. People who try to convert people use brainwashing techniques. Bringing children up from childhood, parents give them the mold of their religion. This is why we still have it around. For clarification, I am asking how can one believe that the Earth is 5,000 old or soemthing like that. Where is God? if that is what “its” name is?
How can you believe in your “God” when there are other religions saying that they have their God. Really, if there really was one God, wouldn’t everyone in the world believe in the same religions?
The oldest rock in the world was found to be 3.6 billion years old.
Read any modern Geology book and it says on teh first page the world was created 4.5 billion years old
We are now seeing the effects of Islamic fundamentalism and its effect on children. Children these days are molded without getting a choice and are getting swept in by their “religion” to kill “infidels.” This is what I trying to talk about with cults.
Someone believing in both creationism and evolutionism is like a Democrat that is also a Republican. They are two different things. Most modern scientists do not believe in a God or a deity. If your “God” was so perfect why didn’t he make man to be perfect in his image. Why did he have to create murderers rapists and stealers? Or was that Evolution. Or was Adam and Eve a fairytale? How can Adam have a human for a rib? The creation story seems to be have been a false myth to justify why humans are here.
I read the bible, and it doesn’t seem practical in modern times. When they created the religion they could not see that we are not the center of the universe. They did not know that we were not the only planet out in the universe. If someone formed a religion like Christianity in this day in age they would be sent to an insane asylum. I am not saying that Christians should be sent there. In this day in age there are much more theories that the Earth is formed through the explosion of materials creating the universe. Earth is just a rock that was formed out of the explosion. Humans evolved about 100,000 years ago that is known because of bones we have found. how come religion only came into existence onl y 5,000 years ago? Look I know most of you won’t change your minds about this but people seemed to have what I call the “religious brainwashing effect” where people are forced to receive propaganda and forced to realize a false diety. Religion is just using propaganda to serve a higher
purpose. How can God create such flawed people?
Again, the concrete evidence that the world was created 4.5 billion years ago is from radiometric dating. Also the years are found in rocks, the oldest rock is 3.6 billion years old. If that is not evidence I don’t know what is.
If there was even a God, explain the different religions, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism. IF there was a God wouldn’t he have created everyone? Not just their people.
The last response I really enjoyed reading. I liked the major points on inflexibility. One can be very inflexible such as a fundamentalist, a scientist or religous. And they are not open to any sort of chat with each other. Therefore now stating that most people who are inflexible are indeed brainwashed themselves. I never thought of it that way. One has to accept criticisms and deal with them, not ignore them to the death. As with different devout faiths, they have ignored the criticisims and are brainwashed into thinking that it’s their way or no way.
