What Are Our Beliefs And Why?

[Woodsprite]

Might as well post the full thing again: Conservative-Libertarian, young-earth creationist, Protestant Christian. I came to Christianity primarily because of the evidence in favor of it... so I don't know what sources HNM has been looking into to think that religions don't have any evidence for them (let alone Christianity), because the whole premise of that is an outright lie, no offense to HNM of course. My debate motto: ignorance can be fixed; stupid is forever. The evidence in favor of Christianity on a historical/scientific level are phenominal. Even the History Channel recognizes the Bible's historical accuracy.

Repeated: I'm a Christian because there's just too much evidence in favor of it. There's just... libraries of information that support it. I've debated on the subject far too long, and have learned far too much to ever think something silly like "Bible contradictions" or "scientific fallacies". It's just laughable, honestly, after what I've studied. I can't count how many acclaimed contradictions I've refuted. I've even stumped the infidels.org administrator once about that subject.

As for science, there's no doubt in my mind at all that the Bible can be considered "unscientific" after all the biologists, physicists, chemists, geologists, paleontologists, astronomers, and others I've encountered who slice the evidence out so quickly these days like a hot knife through butter makes some mighty-fine toast. Won't find anything in major scientific journals because it's being censored, and the story on that is quite interesting, and I'm not talking about Ben Stein's documentary, he discovered this way after it was happening. I've looked into... man, must be at least 15 accounts I've seen. The quotes I've heard, the actions I've seen... insert the phrase "ignorance is bliss". The less you know, the happier you are in thinking the place you live in is actually an advocate of anything related to the word "free".

Before, I'd think the exact opposite, but now it's just humorous to think otherwise.

Of course, faith does play a part in my beliefs, I believe, for instance, that Jesus died on the cross, then rose from the dead. The evidence for that event isn't really set in stone; you have to have faith to believe that. There are certain things you have to take on faith. Then there are witness accounts, but that's a whole other discussion.

EDIT: Just also wanted to add that I wish there were more Christians out there (let alone ones that believe in values like mine) would love Avatar as much as I. I hold many values in contrast to the film, but I accept the movie for what it is: a beautiful sci-fi film that touches the heart and soul. Many other Christians just don't see that, and watch it for content, rather than story.
