Funny. My son goes to the University of Denver and texted about the place crawling with secret service for the last few weeks. He volunteered to help with the debates, although almost no students got to actually attend. They have a very small live audience in those things.

KJV referenced to Hebrew and Greek he is my preferenced
I've read the Koran. I don't doubt that it was written by Mohammed's friends.( Since he couldn't read or write) after they consoled the Bible. Just more rhetoric from people being anti-something. I'll say anti-Christ. The Bible is the only book that offers the true meaning of man. From the beginning to the end. It has never been wronged. A message of ever lasting life from the God of love.
The question is; does it inspire you, if so, you only need give Him thanks for goodness in your life.
Thanks for your above post. It was very heartfelt. It wonderful being brought up in a Christian household but having the knowledge of the Bible doesn't make you a Christian. You have to meet God in your heart.
So Werner
Have you ever done any Mental Speculating??
Or, No: you never speculate, You know it all already
That's what those STUPID Scientists do, those mental thinkers are always thinking about things That Don't need thinking about!!
Do you have a more advanced method of using your mind that does not use Thinking?
We would love to hear more about it..
since we are so de-evolved compared to the heroic Spiritual Speculators
“The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends,” Einstein wrote in German in a 1954 letter that will be auctioned on eBay later this month. "No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.”
Dubbed Einstein’s “God Letter” by the Los Angeles-based auction agency that's posting it online, the original document will be up for grabs starting Monday. The opening bid: $3 million.
The letter provides a window into the famed genius's religious beliefs. Einstein wrote it to Jewish philosopher Eric Gutkind, one year before Einstein died, in reaction to Gutkind’s book, “Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt.”
There are also some great books written by former Christian Pastors coming to the truth
And there are lots more books written by non believers coming to the truth of Christianity and other religions.
THE TRUTH. Those words make my blood curdle and right away tell me that the person using them has a personal and often cultish agenda whether it is atheism or fundamentalism.
We live in a universe with hundreds of millions of galaxies and on an earth with seven billion different people and thousands of successful cultures, all evolved to help people survive in a particular environment. So how does anyone get off saying they know "The Truth".
So Craig, what speculations have you seen me make? Thtat the brain creates mind? That DNA invented itself, but slowly? That consciousness is mechanical output? Are such ideas proven facts or speculations?
It's so far-fetched to think that DNA invented itself
When a cell splits. It uses old dead DNA to replicate itself. It needs this topo map to know what it's going to be. Kind of like a fossil. So live DNA can't even create itself it's just replicating its own prescription.
DNA inventing itself. Even our supercomputers give the odds at 10,000 trillion to one.
So I guess there is a chance?
I am quite sure this has already been posted, but it's worth a repetition. Einstein on science and religion. Certainly not in accordance with the Einstein-speculations of some on the zen and religious speculators earlier in the Mind thread.
“If something is in me that can be called religious,” Einsten wrote in 1954, “then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as science can reveal it.”
