It's obvious to me the world was created not that long ago and won't be around for that long. Another thing I find easy to believe is the world will end when a certain man dies. He's not Jesus. He's just a man. He's a manifestation of god if you will. When he does he will be reborn again and live the same life. On and on it goes. We all get to experience life eternally because of this. I find all of this easy to believe. I don't subscribe to religions or science just to what is. So if your feeling hatred because of 'history' just take a moment and ask yourself if you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that what you're angry about actually ever took place. Life is funny. The mystery of how life works and exists is actually pretty easy to figure out.

Well I'm glad we wrapped up all of life's mysteries so easily!

This is kind of like your religious manifesto, and contains a lot of different beliefs. I don't feel like I can deal with everything here without writing a book, so lets narrow it down.

Given the overwhelming evidence that the universe is 13.7 billion years old, the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and life has been around for 3.7 billion years, why would you say that the world was created not that long ago?

I don't feel hatred because of history:)
I don't even feel hatred of the bullies who bullied me all my childhood.
The past is the past and nothing to do about that now.

In the scheme of time, I suppose 4.5 billion years isn't long and a billion more is rather short. I believe that the stuff that comprised the known universe is much older than 13.7 billion. But, I am just some random religionist in a religious forum on the Internet. What would I know?

You must be able to ignore vast swathes of evidence to come up with such beliefs. But no doubt it provides such comfort. :oops:

What’s the purpose of this man’s life and the repetition?

Telling us the destination isn't nearly as interesting as telling us about the journey. What life experiences led you to these observations? What inspired the tale that you tell and hold dear? What does it mean for you in the present as you continue to live your way of life?

One man's 6,000 years is another man's 13 billion. It's all relative.

I believe it is not obvious that the world was created not long ago. I believe some bad interpretation leads to that concept.

I believe science predicts billions of years.

I believe I see no evidence of this.

I believe that is not eternal life but is temporal life serially and some people just have no desire to leave Heaven and opt out of that.

I believe I know that religion and science are, and don't know what esle you think there is unless you think fantasy is real.

I believe the science is largely estimates but my guess is, it is somewhere in the ballpark.

Those are statements about you, not the world. Your ability to believe an apparently random concept has little relation to whether it is accurate or not.

So if your feeling hatred because of 'history' just take a moment and ask yourself if you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that what you're angry about actually ever took place. Life is funny. The mystery of how life works and exists is actually pretty easy to figure out.
Isn't it a little hypocritical to criticise other people for not considering the possibility that their understanding of the world is wrong while asserting that your understanding is so clear and obvious?

Both fall under added sugar

Generally "added sugar" refers to refined sugar added separately from the food it's derived from. Maple syrup and honey contain sugar naturally, as does fruit.

He also doesn't have to have any muffins. They're offered, not forced. :)

Honey and syrup is sugar that's added to other foods. No one adds the sugar that's in a banana. I suppose honey and syrup have a bit more trace nutrients but you can't live on them anyway.
