interesting.
but why the assumption that God (who is indeed smarter than us all..and is not a primate sir! angry) does not care about us?
well the relìgious folks have been trying to explain how he cares and when they do that they leave us more confused than enlightened

Cant you see the glaring contradictions in your above post?
In other words, faith is given or bestowed to christians. Right?
Who are christians ? People who share a faith in christ. right?
So what else is new?
Faith is bestowed when someone is born again?
Islamic faith, for example , is also bestowed when someone is born again?

Is faith not just another word for mentally reconfiguring one's mind to accept that he or might not have ordinarily accepted?
What is the difference between you and I? You have faith and I don't, right?
Your mind is reconfigured to accept things and hold beliefs that seem real to you, but non-applicable to me.

Therefore your faith is a product of your mind. It has no validity outside of your mind, until you convert me or find others with whom you can share your faith.

That is why people go to churches and mosques, to share faith amongsts themselves, to periodically revalidate their mental constructs and convince themselves that their beliefs are real.


well that is not the reason why christians go to church they go to church to grow spiritually.Not to revalidate their mental constructs.If i may ask hv u been to a church before?and what church if u hv? And you said ''your mind is reconfigured''.Now who ''reconfigures'' the mind, it is God through the convicting power of the Holy Spirit.the reason You are sayn faith is a product of my mind is because you still think it is by my mental power that i generated faith from my mind and also because you don't believe that faith is a supernatural force. You also don't believe God exists not to talk of him being able to renew a person's mind.And for the validity of faith outside my mind, faith is a very powerful tool and can accomplish great things in external situations.Jesus said with faith we can move mountains though that's a different aspect of faith.You may not believe this but it is true.And You just said that my faith is not valid except i convert you.have you not heard stories of christians converting athiests? hw did the christian population grow to 2.2 billion if people have not been converted to christianity?it just goes to show you that there is a supernatural POWER involved You may not believe this but I tell you GOD IS REAL.HE exists.

Ozegbe: In-fact it has even be proven that humans use only 10% of their brain in theirs entire life time.

This is wrong. Nothing of the sort has been proven. Humans dont use only 10 percent of their brains.

wow, "30 000 000 different combinations" of the dna makes man distinguishable from primates.
assuming,i'm not a scientist, the combination of these 30 million atg's or cells or watever,
is fixed for all mankind. i.e it is universal dna trait peculiar to humans,
then the possibility of selecting this combination from the 30 million possible combination
would be very small.
And the selector you say is - randomness. nature working its random picks.
the possible combinations wold be a very large number. 30 000 000!.
factorial of 30 000 000.
even a powerful hand calculator will tell give an error message if you try to generate the factorial of 100.
a wrong selection wuld have created beings probably worse than the chimps
but the choice selection , suprisingly made a wise pick...
ridiculous.
randomness doesnt possess such intuition.

Your argument only faults the concept of randomness and points to the possibility of a better and different explanation but surely doesn't prove God exists.
