However, one must carefully examine the passage to see what is truly being discussed. FAITH, BAPTISM, OR BOTH There are many theologians who would argue that baptism ... would be the phrase “make a sandwich.” As a listener, we know that the person will get out the bread and necessary ingredients, put them together in the desired manner, and eat the sandwich.

- 4862: Good God
- Good God When one walks through the streets of humanity, one must choose their destiny. Is it to believe in God, or to become conservative and choose not to believe? Well, the people of the world should all just creep within their minds, and choose not to follow the Messiah onto the deceptive fields of love. These people become sicken with doubt, and unleashing them are quite easy. But the world may never know, for the fools that are blinded with salvation still wander in oblivion. Objection number one is that, can one actually prove the “existence” of God? How can one experience divinity, without experiencing ... fact, that the watch was created by a designer?” It's possible that the statement is true, but a watch can't be compared to a universe's creation. Paley would later say that the world must have a designer, meaning a God. The watch of coarse must of been created by a designer, but the world is totally different.

- 4864: Greek Myth - How the Turtle was created
- Greek Myth - How the Turtle was created When the war between the Titans and the Gods was over, Zeus had commanded the two conquered Titans Prometheus and Epimetheus to create a new being, one of higher intelligence, that could rule over the animals but be the slaves to the Gods. Prometheus and Epimetheus agreed, and Prometheus got some dust from the Earth, mixed it with some water, and made some clay. This he set before Epimetheus and himself, and they set to work on how they would make this new being. The task was not an easy one. Prometheus and Epimetheus argued terribly, mostly over what the new being would look like. Epimetheus wanted the new being to look like the Gods themselves, to be moulded in the Gods image. This, Prometheus argued, would make the new being too much like the ...
