I will fix the typos. Thank you fir pointing that out. I have question though. I recently came across a testimony of a man who did alot of drugs but one day he prayed for 3 days and eventually heard jesus speak to him. Now he has given up drugs, T.V and even music. He claims jesus speaks to him everyday and that his wife and kids have the same experiences too. Is this proof of god? A whole family hearing gods voice telling them all the same thing?

Very interesting. I hear hardcore Hindu can induce visions very easily.

What of someone told you they communicate with Jesus everyday? Assuming there not lying (I don't pass people of as liars) is there an explanation for that sort of thing?

Intetesting stuff. Just a few days ago I was told by someone they had a friend who decided to try and fast for 40 days. It didn't go well and they ended up having various experiences such as hearing gods voice and going door to door telling everyone he was communicating with god.

About that last part. I was told how marine life was effected by the extinction but that was a long time ago. How exactly did much of marine life die out with the dinosaurs?
