Re: “The New Face of Atheism”

My attitude... thee or the? Life is about each individual's journey so, it boils down to "can we live together and respect one another"... religion is basically someones morality and has nothing to do with GOD or spirituality.

Growing up Catholic but educated in Southern Christian "doctrine" mainly Baptist and being diverse culturally, I was often persecuted for attending Catholic service. I was pushed or forced into questioning my own beliefs and what I learned religion is often hijacked by extremist for one reason or another but mainly money and power.

Majority of ministers, preachers and bishops are ill prepared to teach the Bible simply because there not educated enough; theology does not address history, science mainly theoretical physics... for you Evangelical Christians I dare to ask your church figure about "string theory"? For evolutionist explain "Newton's laws of motion" in relation to the "Big Bang theory" or explain the "Multiverse"?

As a "Christian Spiritualist" those questions I've asked and currently pursue.. in my teens I turned away from "organized religion" because the basic question in the Book of Genesis "In Christianity and Judaism, the curse of Cain and the mark of Cain refer to the passages in the Biblical Book of Genesis where God declared that Cain, the firstborn son of Adam and Eve, was cursed for murdering his brother, and placed a mark upon him to warn others that killing Cain would provoke the vengeance of God" so, who are the "OTHERS" were they "WATCHERS" were they the "NEPHILIM" and who are they?

In my personal pursuit to answer those question and other issues; my opinion the "Torah" is inspired and is historic; the "Bible" is as we know it comes from the first "First Council of Nicaea" from "Roman Emperor Constantine the 1st" in 325 AD again, "mans" influence. I pursued my own works, I researched and found various text and books that asked similar questions as I "Erich Anton Paul von Däniken Chariots of the Gods? Unsolved Mysteries of the Past" and later years "Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code".

Some Bibles have omitted "The Book of Enoch" a great many organized religions refuse to speak about "Nephilim", "Watchers" and "Lilith" considered to be the first wife of "Adam". Another big "MYTH" perpetuated in organized religion are those who seen "GOD" in many years of reading; these are the only human beings who have "EVERY" seen the face of "GOD" ADAM, EVE, CAIN, ABEL, ENOCH, CHRIST (after death) and LUCIFER or MORNING STAR. MOSES (attempted), Mohammed, Noah and others were visited by an "Angels" or messenger of "GOD".

From the New International Version (NIV) Genesis 1:26 - 27; 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Same translation NIV Genesis 2:7 Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

NIV Genesis 3:7 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

What I always found fascinating is the use of "us", "our", "they" and the style in which the story is told "narration or narrative" the writer is a witness to what is taking place.

Note: Genesis 1 makes reference to man and woman while Genesis 2 "man" being Adam so, you have reference of separate beings but humanoid.

The next interesting observation is "dust"; man / human beings are "carbon" based life forms when the human body decays it turns into dust / carbon which plants are able to use as nutrients.

Science is providing information that human beings or civilization originated out of Africa; if dust is carbon, carbon is black / grayish / white and early fossils are showing in Africa one must draw a correlation or "hypothesis".

I didn't comment on Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, Sumeria, Ancient Alien / Ancient Astronauts or Atlantis theories but there is something missing in atheism until Science is concrete I have "my faith" and "experiences" to tell me otherwise; even then I know what took place in my life that science can't explain.

Yes, I agree the Bible is simplistic but there is intelligence far superior than what we want to believe or accept because the more science attempts to dismiss GOD or the Bible the more it proves there is something i.e. ghost / spirits and heaven / hell answer; parallel universe.

Reminder nineteenth century law of conservation of energy is a law of physics. It states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant over time. The total energy is said to be conserved over time. For an isolated system, this law means that energy can change its location within the system, and that it can change form within the system, for instance chemical energy can become kinetic energy, but that energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
