How can your mind work like this, denial of the truth?
I find it fascinating and also very disturbing.

You live in ignorance of the wondrous majesty and beauty of creation, your loss.

I am very rational I believe, then I suppose most people think they are, but I have a book (to give an example) of 50 scientists who believe as I do and they have examinded the evidence much more closely than I ever will. I do not suffer any loss in my apprectiation of The Lords creation but in fact I am able to glorify Him for His magnificence. I love science, I always have but for me true science does not contradict the word of the Creator.

But what do see when you see stars being born and planets forming around them?

I have images of the above you are welcome to have.

But the bible is a collection of words written by men, not the words of the creator. I dont understand whats the problem with accepting that the people who wrote the Bible had no concept of 1) Thermodynamics, 2) Gravitation, 3) Stellar evolution, 4)Celestial Mechanics and Galaxial formation, 5)Biology, 6)Geology, 7)all the other sciences we have today. I'd much rather listen to science when it comes to matters of science. Only to theologians when it comes to matters theological. The Bible cant be considered the final authority on cosmology, sorry.

Remember it was written thousands of years ago. Our understanding of physics has changed since then. And so has our understanding of law--would you rather have a return to times when people were stoned to death for things like working on the sabbath? Can you say Taliban?

One of the things aliens probably don’t understand about earthlings is how we can talk so big about religion and do so little to manifest the important aspects of most religions.

No, however...

Matthew 24: 24
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Joseph Smith Inspired version of Matthew 24: 24
For in those days there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant.

No one is immune to the deceptive powers of Satan. We all need to be on guard and watch ourselves.
