How do we know if there is life after death? Or if the bible is real? It confuses me when I what the discovery channel and they talk about all the different ice ages, evalotion. Is there somewhere we can study,(besides the bible) that brings the bible and everything to make it all understandable and gives some scientific proof?
This may sound crazy but I really believed I was saved but I have this little tweaks and what ifs. I just want to understand it all. Thanks in advance.

I think nobody will understand this facts.
If there's a life after death; you will see...
Take your time. It is not important to know this facts. Just assume, what you like it to be.

There is no proof. Just theories.

If you want to believe than believe, the bible is basically about faith and believing in a higher power.

Life after death.. maybe? One thing I know for sure is that my body is going to decay and be part of the earth.

That's just my opinion.

Yeah, exactly...
You can believe what you want; you are, what you believe.

Thank you for posting to my question. I know what your saying but that is not what Im looking for. I am trying to search out and form a informed/educated opinion. I just get so confused when I watch the disc. Channel and it shows that havethe dinosurs and talk a about 2-3 ice ages etc. How does all of this match up with creation, evolution life after death?

As humans we have evolved. We've become smarter, discovered new things and have a way of modernizing things.

I don't see how evolution has any connection to afterlife though.

As for the discovery channel you have to pay attention to what they are saying and the end credits. Words like : hypothesis, conjecture, speculation, assumption, premise, presumption, supposition, philosphocial innovation, etc. These words all mean : this is just a theory.

Don't get to wrapped up on what t.v. says- half of it is untrue OR still in the process of being an actual "fact".

As far as Dinosaurs go all we have is their bones. They were in this earth at one point and some have evolved due to world changes .

[I]I hope this was "educated" enough for you.

There is no proof really from either side of the discussion. With science a lot of it are just theories. With Religion people just have to have faith that there is an afterlife.

If there is no afterlife well no harm done then. If there is an afterlife people like me are going to be screwed royally. After 9 years of Catholic school I don't believe a single word I was told.

Personally I don't think there is an after life at all. I think the mind can not comprehend not existing anymore so humans kept asking what happens when we die something has to happen it just can't be over. Well I say why can't it just be over.

Yep, I agree with you spitevenom.
Hence why I have stayed out of this section until I saw the virgin mary thing...
OK leaving now before everyone hates me for not believing :)

Google "creation safari" and follow the links regarding "creation - evolution, headlines"
They reference scientific articles and how they are actually evidence against {macro}evolution . They can get very detailed and use the scientific jargon.

Google "str" [stand to reason]

Google or you tube Ravi Zacharias - for apologetics.

C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity" is a wonderful book as well as Philllip Yancey's "The Jesus I never knew."

I think it great that you have questions and doubts, explore your faith deeper, and live this life as God meant it to be. Remember that though we are all sinners, God loves us :D
