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."

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.

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?

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.

    • Google reportedly set to lose two key Gemini and DeepMind researchers to Anthropic

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly set to lose two key Gemini and DeepMind researchers to Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly preparing to lose two more prominent artificial intelligence researchers, with Gemini contributors Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel planning to join rival AI developer Anthropic. According to a report from Bloomberg, both researchers are viewed internally as important contributors to Google’s flagship Gemini model family. Adler worked on Google’s AI coding efforts, while Pritzel was involved in the process used to train AI systems. Neither company has publicly confirmed the moves. The report also does not say when the researchers will formally leave Google or what positions they will hold at Anthropic. Training a large AI model requires decisions covering its architecture, data preparation, distributed computing infrastructure, and post-training methods that shape how the finished system behaves. Researchers with experience operating at the scale of Gemini are consequently difficult to replace quickly. Both Adler and Pritzel have previously contributed to Google DeepMind’s scientific research as well. They are listed among the authors of the company’s work on expanding AlphaFold protein-structure predictions across entire proteomes, alongside AlphaFold researchers including John Jumper. The reported departures arrive shortly after another important change within Google’s Gemini organization. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving Google for OpenAI, after returning to the search company in 2024 through its deal with Character.AI. Shazeer is particularly well known as one of the authors of the Transformer paper, whose architecture became the foundation for most modern large language models. Anthropic, meanwhile, has been recruiting recognizable figures from other leading laboratories. OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic’s pre-training team in May. His move, followed by the reported recruitment of several Google researchers, suggests Anthropic is strengthening the research teams responsible for the core capabilities of future Claude models rather than concentrating solely on product and enterprise sales. The competition is complicated by the companies’ extensive commercial relationships. Anthropic competes directly with Google’s Gemini models, but it also relies on Google as an infrastructure partner. In April, Anthropic announced an expanded agreement with Google and Broadcom covering multiple gigawatts of next-generation Tensor Processing Unit capacity. TPUs are Google-designed accelerators used to train and run large AI models. via Bloomberg

    • Google adds built-in computer control to Gemini 3.5 flash

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google adds built-in computer control to Gemini 3.5 flash by Karthik Mudaliar Google has added Computer Use as a built-in tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash, giving developers a single model that can reason about a task and operate graphical interfaces across browsers, mobile devices, and desktop environments. The feature is available through the Gemini API and Google’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, although it remains a preview feature for now. Computer Use enables an AI agent to examine screenshots and return actions such as mouse clicks, scrolling, and keyboard input. A developer’s application must execute those actions, capture the resulting screen, and send it back to Gemini, creating a continuous loop until the task is completed. Google says the integration can be used for activities including repetitive form filling, application testing, research across multiple websites, and longer enterprise workflows. Gemini 3.5 Flash can work with browser, mobile, and desktop environments, whereas Google’s earlier standalone Computer Use model was primarily positioned around browser interaction. The main change is consolidation. Computer control was previously offered through the separate Gemini 2.5 Computer Use preview model. As Neowin reported when that model was introduced, it was designed to interpret a visual interface and generate actions without requiring a website-specific API. Google later brought Computer Use to preview versions of Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash in January 2026. The latest release now incorporates the tool into the stable Gemini 3.5 Flash model rather than requiring developers to select a specialized model solely for interface automation. Gemini 3.5 Flash itself was announced in May as Google’s latest fast model for coding and multi-step agent workflows. It supports a one-million-token input context window and up to 65,000 output tokens, along with adjustable thinking levels that let developers trade additional reasoning for lower latency and cost. Google also added that Gemini 3.5 Flash received targeted adversarial training for computer-use scenarios. The company is also offering safeguards that can require user confirmation before sensitive or irreversible actions and automatically stop a workflow when suspected prompt injection is detected. Its developer documentation describes configurable protections for areas such as financial transactions and changes to sensitive records. Google isn't the first to bring Computer Use to its platform. Anthropic has made computer control available through Claude, while OpenAI has continued improving computer-use performance in its recent models. Microsoft has also applied the concept to business workflows, including a Computer Use capability for the Researcher agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
