Ya know what else is impossible? Life coming from non-life... violates the law of biogenesis.

Quite silly pro-science... child abuse! Who did you steal that line from? hehe.

In regards to life after death... there is quite a bit of evidence pointing toward the existence of a non-physical being in us all (soul). I'd recommend you explore some of the evidence in the study of consciousness. Mike Ruse has an interesting quote on this subject:

Darwinist philosopher Michael Ruse
"Why should a bunch of atoms have thinking ability? Why should I, even as I write now, be able to reflect on what I am doing and why should you, even as you read now, be able to ponder my points, agreeing or disagreeing, with pleasure or pain, deciding to refute me or deciding I am just not worth the effort? No one, certainly not the Darwinian as such, seems to have any answer to this..."

"Oh my! Futile? No hope? Well, I do believe we are the product of evolution, and the sun WILL go out (in another 5 billion years or so), and yes, the human race WILL cease to exist at some point. Sorry, but I don't see how any of these facts have anything to do with how I view my roll or purpose in the world."

Philo-You seem to contradict yourself a little bit here. If like you say you believe we are a product of evolution, you and I have no purpose at all. So that fact has EVERYTHING to do your "role and purpose" in this world... because if evolution is true... you have no role... no purpose...no meaning, just a lonely blip on the radar screen, here today gone tomorrow.

"We are passengers on what is probably one of millions of inhabited planets in the universe, and our species is about two million years into a life span that could be nearly over. So what!"

I recommend you do some research on cosmology and astronomy. The copernican principle has long been refuted and disproven. The earth is extremely special in both location and form.

"Here's how I manage to find purpose and meaning in my life, even though I believe there is nothing coming after it is over. To the extent that the world is miserable, I endeavor to make it less so, and to the extent it is joyful, I endeavor to make it more so."

Whether or not you make the world better or more joyful (wonderful concepts) is irrelevant. Because the concept of JOY does not exist in an evolutionary worldview... Simply random chemical reactions in your brain, no beauty, no love, no hope, no joy... just chemical reactions. A miserable world is only miserable because we have an innate sense of GOOD, and can discern it from evil (Our God-given moral law)... what is the evil that makes the world miserable? Simply a lack of good (the definition of evil).

Without God, we have no basis to judge good or evil. Or to say what is miserable or joyful. They are merely our own interpretations... which cannot be judged right or wrong by anyone (the postmodern perspective)... so who is to say anything is miserable at all.

Sorry if it sounds harsh, but it's the truth my friend.

Like most people, I have my moments of doubt, but like many people the strongest doubts (or attacks?) have hit me when I'm down and out.

Most recently, after a relationship I was in didn't work out, I couldn't help but ask "Where are you Lord?", "Why put me through this?" the pain was very real, but the solution was not to place blame, but to look to God more than ever in my distress, to rely on him entirely. As some put it, to be "eternally minded" with my eyes more on heaven and less on the world.

As a relatively new Christian I still come across many questions and doubts. I pray that the Lord will free me from doubt and disbelief, and I continually thank Him for His forgiveness and mercy on a very inperfect person like me.
