Not that God needs an advocate, but I am tired of those who do not believe in Him. Bill Maher, Mike Malloy, and others point out the flaws in what has been presented as being from God. A few examples, no where does the Bible say how old the earth is. I mentioned this in my last post. It says in the Bible that God spoke “Let there be light” and the world was created. But no where is it said how the Universe was put together. Since God invented time, “A day with God could be any amount of time for mortals.” Also, since Satan was the first occupant of Earth, how long did he reign here? As I have said before, there was a war in Heaven, and God messed up the earth, so Genesis is not the story of creation, but recreation.
Paul in Romans talks about the innate need for man to seek a higher power. That man knows he is sinful, and looks to find salvation. The pagans built alters to their gods, attributing to them special powers; rain, fertility to both the individual, and to the earth.
Scoffers, or those who doubt, say, “Things are as they have always been, but their perspective is limited in scope. How far back can we really go? Not far, I am afraid.” So, when Bill Maher or Mike Malloy point out that things are as they have always been, that God is invisible, you can’t see, hear or feel God, but that does not mean He does not exist. I do not deny what Science has estimated. I might even go as far to say that perhaps the story of Adam and Eve is a metaphor, I don’t know. Perhaps all of these examples of early man type creatures were God’s experiment, in creating man, and perhaps Natural Selection is one of God’s tools. We know, that man has modified many animals with this process. Only a fool would deny it.
The reason I am a Progressive is because I care about the earth, the poor, and natural resources that are given for us to preserve. As Paul writes; the earth groans looking for redemption. (Romans 8:22)
Science tells us that matter can not be destroyed, it can be changed, but not destroyed. Man is mortal, but can he just not exist? I don’t think so.

“I honor the place in you where Spirit lives
I honor the place in you which is
of Love, of Truth, of Light, of Peace,
when you are in that place in you,
and I am in that place in me,
then we are One.”
It is pronounced as”Namastay” with the first two a’s as the first a in “America” and the ay as in “stay”, but with the t pronounced soft with the area just behind the tip of the tongue pressing against the upper-front teeth with no air passing (as the t in “tamasha”).
For Hindu(s), the greeting of choice is Namaste’, the two hands pressed together and held near the heart with the head gently bowed as one says, “Namaste'”. Thus it is both a spoken greeting and a gesture, a Mantr(a) and a Mudr(a). The prayerful hand position is a Mudr(a) called Anjali, from the root Anj, “to adorn, honor, celebrate or anoint.” The hands held in union signify the oneness of an apparently dual cosmos, the bringing together of spirit and matter, or the self meeting the Self. It has been said that the right hand represents the higher nature or that which is divine in us, while the left hand represents the lower, worldly nature.
