Psalms 103-105

[wolfpurplemoon]

Psalm 103: I've read Verse 5 in several translations, and still can't fathom what "so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's" means. One version dropped it all together! :EDIT: OK, apparently there is a well known myth (not by me) that eagles shed their feathers and beaks at the age of 40 and then regrow them and live another 30 years. That's just crazy.
Psalm 104: Praising God for all the stuff he made, with a little tagged on plea to kill wicked people
Psalm 105: A reminder of the events of Exodus

I'm just over half way through now, I've kept this up for 6 months!!

Wolfpurplemoon, your point is contradictory to the very atheism you are trying to confirm as more probable... You are right, It is far more astounding/absurd to believe that we are here due to millions of random occurrences. Therefore it requires less faith to believe in an intelligent designer as the source of the universe than evolution/chance/ect as the source... All scientific theories about the origin of the universe aren't scientific, they all require an immense amount of blind faith and they all require ideas that defy the very fabric/laws of our physical world. So is it all that silly to believe in a creator that exists outside the constraints of time and space as the source? Which requires more faith? You might be interested in the book "The Source" which was written by a athiest and scientist who underwent a journey to disprove the existence of God.
