Many have taken offense to lots of things others have said. If you're going to complain about what your 500th post is about, you could have easily posted something else in its place.

Yes, many have taken offense to many things, but when the post is specifically designed to make people take offense to it, it becomes extremely immature.

I believe in the God of Abraham, the God of Moses, the Father of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior.

I believe in the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount.

I believe John 3:16.

I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Unlike most people here, I'm over 14, don't put "Bed Head" in my hair, bolts in my nose or tongue, tattoos on my body. And unlike most, I have actually read the Bible and studied it's history. I know where the information came from. The Dead Sea Scrolls and various Codexes were not made up by men to control people and instill fear in them. These documents are thousands of years old and tell a history of a people and history of civilization.

Matthew 5:11

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me."

John 20:29

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Well, what reason is there to believe in a God exactly..?

That is a tough question honestly, the best reason comes only after you open yourself to Him and that is feeling His presence. As far as why else, well how else can you explain the things that have happened in your life and others? Chance?

That's pretty much what it is. We get lucky and we believe it's a miracle by God... doesn't work for me.

Well, I don't see how you can be satisfied with a scientific explanation either then. Just because someone tells you we evolved from a single cell we believe this, though we cannot feel it, we are simply told this.

Atheists are pathetic.

Look around and think!

Is life and everything on earth an illusion!

I feel sorry for all non belivers,yes!

They are not necessarily pathetic, simply not blessed enough to have felt God the way some have, and haven't opened themselves up enough to feel Him. Take a few steps back and look at Christianity through their perspecitve for a moment and I think you will see their point in a different light.

But the fact that we were evolved from a single cell makes more sense than an all-powerful god that spawns 2 human beings, to me at least.

The Adam & Eve theory can't exist because in the bible they're both white. If they were both while, how did African-Americans come, what about Chinese and Japanese, Spaniards?

why was this topic started in the first place as so many has before which all have ended unpleasantly. We all know neither of the sides are going to back down from their beliefs, why continue?

It ends upleasently only because immature people make it do so. We continue because, while futile, we want to make our points heard, and dispute others points. It gives us the opportunity to take in new ideas, even if they aren't radically different from those we already have accepted.

It can be simply explained. Adaptations over a long period of time caused the African Americans to have darker skin. Its different from evolution in the sense that a new species does not result.

I agree. Man, I'm not meaning any disrespect to you or any religious believers at all. I respect what they believe in. I just can't see how God can exist when I've never seen him. I'm the type of person who believes on in what he sees... so many things that say God doesn't exist make more sense to me than the things that say he does.

An excellent argument. I'd like to see Christians justify this.

BY THE WAY, the reason why there is nothing to do with race in the bible is becuase the person who wrote the bible only believe that there was one. Yes.

You can ofcourse belive what you want!

Maybe you will experiance something in your life,an odd situation that will make you think about everything around you.

I was one of those,God? no way,everything started with a big bang,yes.

Im sure there was a bang when God created earth and everything in it.

Yes,some things in the bible should be questioned and researeched to separate fact from fiction.

You really feel different when you know that god or Jesus has touched you.I cant describe the feeling.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
