A remarkable 66 percent of U.S. adults believe that Jesus was miraculously born to the
Virgin Mary, the Pew Research Center announced Tuesday.

There are times in life when I am asked to believe things that I know are not possible to believe but I believe in the person that is telling me these things. It's called faith.

Same with religion. It is very hard for me to believe in some of the religious beliefs that have been passed down to me, they just don't seem possible. Faith helps me determine right from wrong and although I am far from perfect, faith has helped me do more right things in life than wrong.

Dave,

I'm guessing you have never objectively looked at the evidence.

Of course, believing that this world magically exploded into being from nothing, and then man evolved from some swamp goo, that evolved from ... nothing. Well,
that's such a more rational belief, right?

It have always been interested in the faith thingy. My mother believe anything the Catholic
Church told her. My father was a heathen in it's truest sence. That made for an interesting
childhood. As a child I began to think religion was bad for humans and by the time I was 15
I was convinced.

I'm fascinated that people will follow blindly what other people tell them. Throughout history
charismatic people have managed to convince others to enthusiastically do things that are not in
their best interests.

To each his own I suppose. Whatever makes a person comfortable in life.

Well, if you believe in god you are saying te same thing. It is funny that people will say there has to be a god because something had to create the world. It can't have always been here. Yet they believe god has always been here.

Zit I know you are a religious man. I respect that. There can be a case made for both creationism and science.

However I can assure you artificial insemination wasn't widely used back then.

I can go along with a woman being pregnant without intercourse...but three wise men in the same house?

Um, that's the definition of a God. You act like your reply is actually an argument.

Ok, so where did the city come from, and the wife?

Also, there is no mention of dinosaurs in the bible either, but we know they existed... You would think that things that massive and terrifying would have some mention in the bible as well.

My beliefs actually do come from science as well. I believe in the Intelligent Design movement, which "proves" that the intelligence in the cell, and in the universe in general
has to come from an intelligent designer.

DNA didn't magically evolve from nothing.

Incest was allowed back then... If dinosaurs had died out by the time man showed up, not sure why the Bible would need to mention them... The Bible isn't meant to be a science text-book.

Then what about the dinosaurs? In light of what we read in Genesis, what is the real sequence of events regarding these creatures? If God created dinosaurs, why aren't they mentioned in the Bible? Was man on earth at the same time as the dinosaurs?

Many people don't realize that paleontology (the study of past geological ages based primarily on the study of fossils) is a relatively new science. In fact, the concept of "dinosaurs" only surfaced in its present form less than 180 years ago. Prior to that, anyone who found a large fossilized bone assumed it came from an elephant, dragon or giant. It wasn't until 1841 that English scientist Richard Owens suggested that the group of "newly discovered" animals be called "dinosaurs" (meaning, "terrible lizards"). Therefore, we shouldn't expect to see dinosaurs in the Bible, but we should expect to see descriptions of "dragons" and other large creatures. In fact, we do!

A search for the word "dragon" in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible produces 34 separate matches across 10 different books written between approximately 2000 BC and 90 AD. The word "dragon" ( Hebrew: tannin) is used throughout the Old Testament, and most directly translates as "sea or land monsters." Interestingly, Genesis 1:21 describes God's creation of sea dragons (tannin) on the 5th day. Today's Bible translations use the following terms instead: "great whales" (KJV), "the great creatures of the sea" (NIV), "the great sea monsters" (NASB), and "great sea creatures" (NLT, NKJV). However, the original Hebrew is more descriptive of the sea-going dinosaurs we now see in numerous museums throughout the world. Even more dramatic is the Book of Job, where the author describes the great land creature, Behemoth (Job 40), and the great water creature, Leviathan (Job 41). Although the latest Bible translations use the words elephant, hippo or crocodile instead of Behemoth and Leviathan, the original Hebrew and the context of the descriptions do not allow for these interpretations.

When you're starting from scratch I guess you don't have much of a choice. I'm actually surprised
we're not all morons considering all the inbreeding.

At the time of it's writing it was. I'm not sure when it got outed as fiction.
