Let me ask something ... have you noticed that all of the observations in question are ones made with human sense organs, which are absolutely known to be horribly inaccurate? When it comes down to it, we infer reasoning based on almost nothing. We think there are upwards of 70,000,000,000 objects flying at us from outside the solar system because of ... one rock. And stars are all just like the sun because ... they twinkle. A longer twinkle means a planet and a planet must be where we are. Though we can't actually see it ourselves.

There's a lot of faith and invisible magic there, if you ask me. And yeah, science makes great predictions for very specific situations forced in lab environments. And that's the best we as human beings can expect to do. The thing I'm leaning at here ... is that the Bible is actually painfully accurate.

Each of the "punishments" for sins are clear warnings of psychological or social harm from your own actions, not threats from an angry man in the sky. The idea of us being created in the image of an intelligent creator is reasonable both religiously and scientifically, though neither answers where that creator came from. The Bible suggests there is no answer for that one, and science suggests the big bang came of literal nothing. Again, the answers are not different.

Lastly, the predictions of the Bible have been alarmingly on cue for the last 1400 years at minimum, and through to today. The third temple is in construction now, and those signs of it coming have happened. It looks a lot like the Bible and the older stories it's compiled from were written by somebody who's seen it before.

So fine. Man-made I guess. In that the Bible is the basis and it's a collection of previous writings, and only man writes. Still, my faith is unshaken and unquestioned by these thoughts.

The problem with Atheism is that it's a lie. You're projecting religious faith onto scientific papers instead. Those papers are fine, yes, but the thing is they hold no answers. They hold guesses and tests and well-written descriptions of what they might mean. But, in Atheism, you decide you have found proof of an absence of an entity. A thing that, to science, is an abomination.

Consider -- the average scientist goes through this as a phase. The greatest theoretical physicists usually eventually say they do think it was God who did it; they just want to know how.
