Jack: I believe God began very simple with us. Then he gave us more homework to do.

When we couldn't or wouldn't complete our homework he gave us Christ.

When we began to take advantage of Christ he gave us a stumbling block, the Rock. Greg: God, through evolution, gaves us Self-Awareness, God's Image. Jesus was simply a man with whom God walked every day of His Life in order to show us the improved manner in which Love would provide for our Harmonious interaction with one another. Every religious view offers a unique perspective of God, and they are All equally valid in His Eyes, for He IS God for All Mankind, and He accepts the Love of God in the Heart of Man no matter the Name Invoked, He does not Only accept the Christian. :o)

Jack: Yes, I believe God began all religions with us, but in a building block way. From A thru Z. The last main religions that I know of are Jewish, Christian, and Moslem. I have wondered if our creator had installed the Dome of the Rock in order to prevent us from ignoring the alphabet and not understanding the full moral values of religions that are needed to complete creation. I am not speaking as though Christianity is the only way, I base myself on it for a foundation. I never go to confession because I know I would be sinning that same day again. But I have broke down a few times in life and told him I was sorry. Someday maybe we will understand that our religious and science beliefs are all true.

Greg: I would that all men could perceive their religion as simply a foundation, for there is Truth in all the religions, God's Truth. As we build upon the foundation of our own religion by perceiving the Truth in the religions of others, so do we become more perceptive of all of the Truth that God has provided for Mankind to be aware of, and in the end, the scientific Truth of His Creation which is without religious bias. Thank-you Jack, for possessing an Open Heart and an Open Mind.
