The funny part is, if you check all around the world, they all have their "story" of the great flood.
Thats another reason why i believe what the Bible says.
Plus, Noah took 2 of each KIND of animal onto the ark. When he took dogs, he didn't take 2 wolves, 2 foxes, 2 dingos, 2 chihuahuas, 2 doberman pinchers, and so on. He took 2 dogs. Every offshoot we have of dog "kinds" came from those 2 dogs that were on the ark. I've had people laugh when i say that, that all the kinds of dogs came from "just" TWO dogs. Yet these are the same people that believe that EVERYTHING in the world came from a ROCK "millions and millions of years" ago.
So they scoff at the Bible, but swallow the evolution story with blind faith.
Zero.......all i can say is, if you research each "religion", you WILL find flaws in all of them. That is because MAN messes everything up. Thats why i don't follow a "religion". I follow what the Bible says. If a religious leader tells me one thing, and it contradicts what the Bible says, i do what the Bible says. I've had that happen in ALL churches i have been in, or have studied.
If you put your trust (faith) in man, you WILL be let down.
All i can say to do is, put your trust in God. Don't let all the details worry you. If you trust in Him, He will show you the way.
I know it's asking alot, to just open up and allow Him in, but trust me, you won't be let down.
Look at what religion teaches, and i can understand why you would be confused.
Look at it this way. Go back 100 years, and if you told people back then what we have today, airplanes, TV's, color movies, computers in the home that you can litterally talk to people all over the world, automobiles that allow people to travel farther in one day then people traveled in a year, in ONE DAY, telephones that you can carry in your pocket and call people all over the world........they would laugh in your face and think you were crazy! Yet today we take it for granted. If man can do all this, imagine what God can do!
I honestly believe that the reason you believe in a higher power, is that God is letting you know that he IS there, he IS real.
I have had things happen to me that can't be explained. And most people probably wouldn't even believe me if i told them these things. But i'll tell you, it PROVED God to me. But it ONLY happened once i "gave up" and said "OK, God......I BELIEVE in you and TRUST you."
Does that mean everything in my life will be hunky dorry? Nope. But i know in my heart where I will spend eternity, which makes whatever happens to me down here bearable.
