Religion is nothing more than a man-made attempt at establishing a relationship with God but not on God's terms, rather the terms of man. I am a devout Christian, a Pastor and a Prophet, and I can honestly say that I do not have ONE religious hair on my body. (I used to have, but by the Grace of God, I grew up) God started out His dealings with man through a Father and Son (Daughter) relationship. Man messed it up, and God sent His Son to come and fix up that mess. Man, however preferred buildings, rituals, structures, specific days, a rule book, special clothing etc. to the Grace and Relationship idea that God had. Churches today have become clubs with exclusive memberships, rather that the Body of Christ. Let them keep their buildings and clubs, daniibee, you are much better off with your relationship.

This is a blog from the "Evolution. Old-Age Earth. IT'S A HOAX!" group. I see a lot of talk about proving "theories" this way and the other. Let's just rewind and settle down. We all know that since you can't re-create God in a lab, He is not scientifically explained, and thus we find Him by FAITH (our unshakable belief in Him) - this is also true regarding evolution. It is IMPOSSIBLE to re-create evolution in a lab, thus the followers of evolution has just as much FAITH (their unshakable belief in it) in the theory as Christians have in God. The only way to explain either point is by finding evidence of its existence in history. Let's look at an example: I was not here when Jan van Riebeeck colonized the Cape in 1652, but I believe it to be so, because of the EVIDENCE left by him. Now the evidence left by van Riebeeck does not even closely resemble modern day evidence – Today we would leave photographs, home-movies, entries in government databases, (ID, driver’s licenses, voter’s rolls etc.) that could positively prove that we existed - but these things never existed in his day, thus we have to look for another type of evidence. For example: 1) He might have left a diary, some official documents. These may be intact, or in various stages of decay. In the latter instance, the evidence left is not absolute, it is subject to the interpretation of the people that found and studied the evidence. Thus the conclusions are mere conjecture, NOT 100% factual. In terms of scientific jargon, this is called a hypothesis, and when some (not ALL) proof could be added, a THEORY. Only when the theory is 100% proven can it be called FACT. The problem with this kind of evidence is that it is not only diaries (FACTUAL) that are written, but also novels (FICTION). Someone could have been bored and wrote a fictitious diary about a fictitious man named Jan van Riebeeck. In the same way, when we go to a museum and look at a model of a dinosaur, we are NOT looking at a FACTUAL re-creation of the beast, we are looking at how people pieced a skeleton (100% proof) together, and then interpreted the structure (conjecture according to the level of their current knowledge of the subject – which is also subject to change) to add muscle and skin, in order to render a MODEL of what they perceived that specific creature to have looked like. 2) But van Riebeeck could have left another kind of evidence, something that would tell us that he had to have existed in order for the evidence to exist, he also physically had to have existed as well. For instance, he could leave his homestead behind, something that only he created, something that bears his name on the cornerstone, possibly with a date engraved as well. This is something that has been handed down to his descendants thorough the generations, descendents that could possibly even bear his name. This type of evidence is 100% factual. The mere existence of this evidence means that van Riebeeck must have existed as well. Thus, when we test theories of faith, we have to subject them to the same type of test. We cannot use different types of tests to either prove one theory or disprove another. Next: Lets set up a test!
