Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear. (Thomas Jefferson)

I could not agree more strongly. I was a non believer for almost 40 years, it was me questioning whether there was any reason or evidence to believe in any God, including the God of the Bible that led me to Christ, salvation and changed my life FOREVER.

If I had never began questioning it and looking into the evidence, I would have never came to salvation and faith in Christ.

Until then, I had serious doubts and thought there was no way to know and it was all about totally blind faith. Thats what the world had brainwashed me into believing all my life.

Well if you agree, why the insistence that I mock God by questioning if he's real? By asking any of these questions? By looking for explanations to the mysterious things that appear in our universe? I've reread the entire thread and do not see where I once mocked God or did anything other than ask questions.

I feel like you took the easy way out on your answer about the age of the universe and man being six days younger. Just because it doesn't say how long it was doesn't, according to your own words previous, leave it open for interpretation...or are you saying it does?
