That was my point also Larry. Great minds do think alike-.

Most of us have a huge closet in our heads with a label on the door which reads "Awaiting Further Light." I bet you got a lot of stuff stored there too. Problem is - the more you learn, the more questions are generated.

Indeed brother! The more you know the more you know you don't know!

God Himself created the hunger for knowledge, of an unsatiable capacity. It is fun therefore to keep discovering, esp things eternal. What one need to defend is his Supreme Faith in God.-This has failed them scientists. We need to let God be God. There are certain sensitive things we were prohibited from knowing as children. We have grown up but God would not release certain truths to us still, lest we flop entirely. It is sad but we will let God be God. It is that insight that makes me never get used. Knowledge is welcome but I will bow en worship God all my days.

-Somebody told me that we in Heaven shall be making a new discovery about God everyday, forever and ever. This is true if I was to read of it in the Bible. Tis an imagination. But what God has in place is beyond our thoughts.-

Agreed- we are but children in understanding all but the simplest of God's creation. Modern science is but a prideful child who having only scracthed the surface considers it's own word as immuteable law. Knowledge outside of God brings only spiritual death and no eternal benefits. In truth the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was man loosing his dependence on God and living in the power and leading of his small mass of gray matter.
As far as heaven there are angels how have been in His presence for countless millenia and yet they are blown away by Him every day. The more the look the more they see and even these awesome beings are reduced to crying- Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty. Words simply fail when trying to describe our God, He is infinite and in Him dwells infinite glory, beauty and majesty. I cannot wait to get there!

WOAH! Almost 1,000 years! That is the span of the Kingdom Age itself! I would do anything for that kind of longevity today. Which place has the best longevity rating on earth in our modern times? I am jealous. 900 years to live makes the usual 100 years or 80 years today seem like nothing. What happened to the earth that the longevity rating went down? It is because of pollution that we stopped living longer?

Romans 10:9-13 -- 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 4:12 -- Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 3:17 -- For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 14:6 -- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Whoever makes fun of these Scriptures is not going to have the last laugh, I can guarantee you that! This a very serious matter of utmost gravity and sincerity. Your life hangs in the balance. Believe on the name of the Lord and be saved. Read what Romans 10 says above and do that proceedure. Become one of HIS saints.

I remember that there is a scripture somewhere were God commanded that man cannot live to about 120 years or was it 220? But, I vaguely remember it, but someone will bring it up soon.

12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

I think this arguement is settled, at least for me. I'm the one who asked in the first place. I have no need of really posting or looking in this thread anymore, if a moderator would like to lock it. Having seen the Biblical evidence from our posters I now agree that there was nothing before Adam and Eve (except maybe the demonic fallen spirits who were spiritual and not a part of the physical creation). My questioning is closed.
