Well said Rick! Though I am certainly not the model Christian, I do maintain my beliefs and know they have carried me through some very hard times. Without them, I am not sure what I would have done. I am thankful everyday for the gifts I have been given.

How do I know God is real? (this is a bit sappy but all parents will understand.)

Every morning when I get up, I peak into my daughters room as she is just starting to wake up. Her little eyes wonder around her crib and then find mine peering through the crack in the door. She smiles.....and I know God exist.

Only if you're Catholic... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. :lol:

Good post Rick. I would only add that my foundation is all about the personal RELATIONSHIP I have with my God Father and Christ.

I too am a parent and I understand your feelings of joy and love seeing your daughter. To me that is love.

Edited to remove useless information:



You can't prove God exists. It takes Faith. You can't pressure someone into believing, nor do I try. If they want to know, I'll tell them what I believe and what He has done for my life.

Uh, that argument didn't make a bit of sense. Air? Here ya go:

Quote:
Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth and retained by the Earth's gravity. It contains roughly 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, trace amounts of other gases, and water vapor. This mixture of gases is commonly known as air. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.

The atmosphere has no abrupt cut-off. It slowly becomes thinner and fades away into space. There is no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. Three-quarters of the atmosphere's mass is within 11 km of the planetary surface. In the United States, persons who travel above an altitude of 50.0 miles (80.5 km) are designated as astronauts. An altitude of 120 km (75 mi or 400,000 ft) marks the boundary where atmospheric effects become noticeable during re-entry. The Karman line, at 100 km (62 mi), is also frequently used as the boundary between atmosphere and space.
All of that can be proven scientifically.
