Why would God allow this to happen ? 229299[/snapback] Things like this are a main reason i gave up on organized religion. (Well, that and the fact that most of it can be disproved with that pesky thing called science). I mean, some people say that when babies die "why would god do this?" and the answer is "it was their time, or that was God's plan"... well, what was the plan behind this? This story is really sickening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawnboy1977 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 In all seriousness though, these people are beyond sick, and what would killing them with and electric chair or injecting them with lethal toxins do? It wouldn't change ther fact that they are a bunch of wackjobs who deserve to rot in hell. I'm not sure if there is a heaven or hell, but they are def going to hell if there is one, the 9 !@#$ing stage of hell too. in the meantime, lets hope they get sentenced to life in prison with no parole and end up becoming the target of the same type of abuse that they inflicted on these innocent children. because they will, people like that dont last long in prison.

KurtGodel77 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 (Well, that and the fact that most of it can be disproved with that pesky thing called science). 229310[/snapback] Gerald Schroeder is a former MIT physics professor, and currently teaches at the Hebrew University. He wrote a book called The Science of God, in which he reconciles the Book of Genesis with established science. Based on the Big Bang theory and on measurements of things like red shift, the universe is 15 billion years old. According to the Book of Genesis, God used six days to create everything. Schroeder pointed out that the word "day" cannot refer to the length of time it takes for the Earth to rotate once on its axis; because the Earth didn't exist at the beginning of Creation. So he interpreted the word "day" to mean "a period of time 24 hours long." Schroeder explained that the universe is explanding at nearly the speed of light. As Einstein's relativity theory points out, time is relative. If you are in a space ship traveling at nearly the speed of light, a clock on board the ship might indicate your journey has lasted just 20 minutes. A clock back on Earth might indicate the journey took 20 million years. Because time is relative, neither clock is more correct than the other--they are both right in the relative sense. From the perspective of someone on Earth looking back into the past, the universe has been around for 15 billion years. But because of the relativistic time effects of the universe's expansion, the perspective of someone physically present at the Big Bang would be somewhat different. According to Schroeder's calculations, from the perspective of an observer physically present at the Big Bang, the universe has been around for about six periods of twenty-four hours each.

KurtGodel77 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 As far as the problem of evil: God could have given us free will, or he could have given us a perfect world. He started by giving us both. But because of Adam and Eve's sin, the world itself became a messed-up place, and human nature became deeply flawed. We still have free will though; and in the case of the Dollars they chose to use their free will to make the world a much worse place for the children under their care.

My question has always been: of all of the religions in the world, AT MOST one can be "right". What makes you believe yours is that one. The answer is always "faith" ... hey, if you choose to live your life by circular logic, I won't stop you. My mom is a eucharistic minister. I'm used to it.

The period of light between dawn and nightfall; the interval from sunrise to sunset. 2. 1. The 24-hour period during which the earth completes one rotation on its axis. 2. The period during which a celestial body makes a similar rotation. 3. Abbr. D One of the numbered 24-hour periods into which a week, month, or year is divided. It doesn't seem like the definition was really changed all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
