From birth to age 25 or so, we are still growing; when we age past 25, we are slowly dying (no living creature is supposed to look decrepit with age; humans are not supposed to need walkers). Our bodies eventually wither; if they didn't, we would be capable of living forever, and not withering with age.

Also guys, I was on yahoo answers earlier, and found a prime example of a religious mongoloid:
Human will still look like us now, human, the creation of God, There was no evolved humans, because if there were, then human will look like probably 2 head, 10 hands, and 100 legs in 2 million years.
Evolutionists are just ignorant , rebellious , and arrogant people. Their belief is in the book of science, with their limited knowledge, they want to act like God.
Bible is our final authority. There is no need to prove anything. We can simply prove that IF THERE IS CREATION THEN THERE MUST BE THE CREATOR. Like, we know for sure that a car must have got the car maker. God cannot be scientifically proved, you just need to have faith in God and He will manifest Himself in you. Most Christians one time or another have got some encounters with God. (false)
The people who refer to the Bible are trying to show you that their avenue to this knowledge doesn't come from the scientific method, but from another means of discerning truth (aka making stuff up). People believe in the Bible. There is no scientific reason for them to do that, but they do. The same holds for their belief in God. They believe that their knowledge comes to them through another means -- one not subject to scientific inquiry (aka false beliefs)
It is proof for them, but of course it's not going to be proof for you(/anyone who isn't naïve) until you get to that point where you open yourself up (ironic because Christians ae closed to scientific evidence) to that other type of perception or discernment (aka wishful thinking). How do you do that? We get a hint from the Bible, which actually if loaded with lots of practical wisdom (that's a good joke).
"Be still and know that I am God." (<-- that is definitely practical wisdom)
Almost every religion has a contemplative or meditative side. And within that contemplative component there is that wisdom that comes from being still, allowing the mind to clear, and allowing another level of perception to come through. In this state, people get enlightenment. Sometimes it's knowledge of the will of God; sometimes it's the balance of forces of nature. But stopping with the craziness of the noise of everyday silliness we try to call living is a first step.
Meditation is not a God thing necessarily, but it is the gate by which many have become enlightened. That's a good word for it, because enlightened doesn't mean special or smart (false, that's exactly what it means if you look up the term): it means that light has shone upon you.
You ask how do God's powers work, and that is unimportant and ultimately unknowable anyway, since God is the creator and we are only creatures.
The pot cannot comprehend the potter.
It is absurd to think that a creature can understand the creator.
Nobody has a clue how creation happened, and nobody has any rational proposal to explain it. If you subscribe to the big bang, then you just extend the questioning. What caused the prior universe before the big band? Nobody knows, of course.
What causes magnetism? Nobody has a clue.
What causes gravity? Nobody has a clue.
What causes light to travel at light speed? Nobody has a clue. (we know what causes all of those, the guy even admits it below)
Don't be deceived. We know "how" these processes work (elaborate formulas describe how a body will accelerate as it falls, how a transformer will step amperage up or down, depending on the windings on the core, how much light is slowed down in various media.
We're good at this: describing how something works. However, we have no clue whatsoever *why* it works the way it does. Then how can we even comprehend the almighty God with only our limited mind ? (the one intelligent thing this person has said)
In Christ,
JML
I bolded and highlighted points of interest.
