Only for the 1 millionth of 1 percent of the past "supposed" 10+
billion years. And this is where they make it a religion and
guess that's what it's been doing.

Let's look at the numbers: They only witness an "accurate"
(that's being generous) window of at most 100 years (and that's
being generous as well) of some of the billions of stars out
there, and then guess what they've all (including the billions
they've yet to even see) been doing for the past, "supposed", 10+
BILLION of years?! That's 1 millionth of 1 percent of its entire
movement they /see/, and then guess on the rest. Absurd.
Certainly not scientific, but rather a guess.

That's similar to looking at what the earth does in its orbit for
only 0.3 seconds (1 millionth of 1 percent of its entire orbit,
which on that small of a window would be movement in one
direction), and then assume it must have been moving in that
exact same direction for the past 31,500,000 seconds (1 year) and
beyond. Absurd. Of course this would be completely false, as it's
not moving in a straight line, but rather in an elliptical orbit.
A joke to say the least to say otherwise on such a small window
of observation, as we know you can't tell what the Earth's
complete actions are based on such a small window of what it's
done over the past 1 millionth of 1 percent of it's complete
orbital movement (i.e., 3/10ths of one second)

So as you can clearly see, it's nothing more than a guess.
Certainly not observable with only that 0.3 seconds; only that 1
millionth of 1 percent of the entire movement you're trying to
claim knowledge of for the billions of heavenly bodies in the
entire universe.

Not to mention they add this ridiculous notion that they all came
from the initial big bang, one initial mass of lifeless matter,
into perfect orbits of billions of heavenly bodies. More guesses.
Certainly not observable; not verifiable; not testable; not
science.

Add to that the absurdity that everything started out as this
lifeless ball of matter, and it then magically created life from
lifelessness one day because it decided to.

Add to that the same problem of "what created this lifeless ball
of matter".

They have no more than they condemn: a religion based on a
creator. Except their creator is a lifeless ball of matter.

All of it is a far cry from actual science, and is an insult to
actual scientists.

Even scientists claim they cannot calculate the position of one
planet in its orbit past many millions of years. One planet. And
atheists insist they know exactly where every single heavenly
body of the billions of them were 10+ BILLION years ago. Absurd.

A pointless query that begs the question, as they have no idea
that they've been coming from the same area for their entire
lifetime.

>Does God love Satan?


Hello,

God hates what is bad and wants His true followers to do the same. (Ps
97:10) Satan was a perfect being who willfully went bad. There is also
no indication in the Bible that he was ever repentant. Thus it would
be unlikely that God would continually love a perpetually willful
rebellious opposer such as Satan.

Actually, the Bible "hell" comes from the Hebrew word "sheol" and the
Greek word "hades". If you look them up in a good reference work, you
will see that they do not mean a 'hellfire' type place, but rather
represent the common grave of all of dead mankind. The Bible does
refer to a symbolic lake of fire place, which many get 'hell' confused
with. (such as Re 20:14)

For example, the righteous man Job, who was suffering greatly at the
time, wanted to get RELIEF from his suffering by going to "hell"
(sheol). (see Job 14:13 Douey version)

Since the Bible says that dead people are not conscience of anything
(see Ec 9:5,10; Ps 146:3,4), Job wanted to die and go to the grave
(hell- sheol) in order to not feel pain and suffering anymore.

Again, apparently Satan never showed any signs of wanting to be
forgiven. On the contrary, Satan continually opposes God and His
servants, all throughout the writings of the Bible. And the book of
Revelation shows that he will continue to do so, right up to the end.
(see Re 20:7-10)

Actually, the Bible shows us that 'good' is really the act of obeying
God. Evil is the act of disobedience to God. Thus you can have good
(all beings obeying God all the time) without having evil. In other
words, 'evil' is not necessary for there to be 'good', just as there
doesn't have to be worms in some apples in order to people to fully
enjoy those apples without them.

Then you must like bad things happen to you once in a while to break
the boredom of peace and happiness, such as to get robbed occasionally
so that you can appreciate the things you have.

Many people would not agree with such ideals, and would prefer peace
and happiness all the time, if they could get. In this old world, such
things are not attainable continually, at this time. But according to
the Bible, soon such things will. (see Re 21:3,4)

And concerning your "beef stew" statement, that is how it would not be
when God removes all badness. Just as you today enjoy a variety of
foods, you will also be able to enjoy ALL the foods the world has to
offer that God has provided.

Yes, in God's new world without badness, you can "have your cake, and
eat it to", and fully enjoy it forever.


Sincerely, James
