"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments."

Wow, the First commandment as stated there is IMO, not applicable to us anymore for we have not been taken out of Egypt. I firmly believe also that God does not punish a child for his parents' faults. He may have had, but not anymore. He had told Noah after the flood that He will not do such a thing again.

That is why Jesus made a new commandment right, in fact referred to these as the greatest commandments?

1. Love God with all your heart, soul...

2. Love one another as I have loved you.

i think this refers to science: our new world's Atheist producer.

Well most scientists think of it another way. (And I do too, although I am an engineer, not a typical scientist though ). They see science and the discoveries made about creation and evolution actually strengthens the fact that there is a God, for if even if one nano-particle was slightly imbalanced, there would be no universe as we know it. And have you read the actual facts and evidences of Evolution? If you can, do try to get hold of a National Geo Issue, it explains the real concept of Darwin's theory especially on the evolution of viruses. Wherein a certain controllable virus type after several years have evoloved into a virus uncontrollable by the same medicine. There are more evidences, no monkey-human though. I think it's a good reading for those who are in pursuit of our origins and how the world came and is evolving to be.

But that is your belief bro and I respect that. So peace.
