Post Remember God!
Dear Atheists,

It is time for me to leave your site. I enjoyed discussing so many things with you all and I hope you all will open your hearts to God.

I must use my time wisely and I have put in a lot of time here. Today I was drinking a cup of tea and I thought isn't it amazing how Spices and Herbs benefit our health. How vegetables are so colorful and nutrient dense, how fruits are so delicious and have a captivating scent and I said "God is amazing" I thought about the 5 senses and the 5 tastes the five fingers and toes and thought "God is amazing". I thought, "food would be meaningless without someone to eat it" and "air would be meaningless without someone to breathe it".

I thought about time and how it corresponds to so many patterns of night and day, seasons, Pregnancies, measurements and even heartbeats. I thought about travel across oceans in large ships knowing that God created the properties of the ocean to carry such huge vessels so that men may be able to travel about in it, God is Amazing.

I looked into my wife's eyes and noticed the reflective quality of the eyes and how they were made that you may be able to see yourself in someone elses eyes, God is amazing.

I thought about the Biblical command to be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth and How mankind has learned from the birds to fly and from all the animals too many things to mention and how the Human infant is so helpless and has to be taught even what to eat, God is amazing.

I realize that mankind is arrogant and doesn't think of all these things although they should. I thought "even if someone understands the nature of the Big Bang and realized that natural explosions don't cause things to come together but blows them apart" I mean things don't blow up into systems with laws and properties and they don't fall into a predictable orbit, God is amazing.

What could I possibly say to an atheist to cause him to think about the truth of his Creator? I wish I knew the answer but I don't. But what makes me know that there is a God is the evident signs in life everywhere. Look at milk and how it is pure white and how water is transparent and yet blood is red when it hits oxygen. Red has the shortest wavelength of visible colors can you imagine if our blood was infra-red you would bleed and not be able to see it, but Ironically you "don't" see red you see the reflection of red and you don't see green you see the reflection of green.

Anyway I love people and I am glad I had a chance to share with you all. May those who seek God find Him(HU) and may God have Mercy on those who are ignorant because of poor guidance.

This will be my last post here as far as I know(Only God knows for sure) All Praises due to God!

Thank GOD!!! Maybe this will convert me after all!

I think he is leaving because he is just so used to being banned from everywhere he goes, that he was feeling a kind of sense of loss. In any event, YAY!!!

Uh, things are blowing apart. The biggest evidence for the Big Bang Theory is that every object in the universe is moving away from each other at equal speed, as well as the cosmic radiation found echoing throughout the universe.

If what you mean is, "Things don't form orderly patterns without some guiding force", then you'd be correct. Except your inference that God is the guiding force would be incorrect. The laws of physics and chemistry are the forces. For instance, a snowflake is wonderfully complex, and it forms through natural processes--we KNOW that God has nothing to do with it. The same can be said for any number of complex molecules. Physicists, in fact, can explain exactly how planets and solar systems formed using only the laws of physics, so your God hypothesis is totally unnecessary and unwarranted!

I think at a certain level we will always not know how something works. Of course at a certain level nothing really makes sense any more. Just ponder for a moment what it means for something to exist.
