Alexander,
Thank you for the compliment and comparison.
But I want to tell you that before the month of March 2014, I knew nothing of religion or the Bible. I seriously thought that the Bible is a storybook, and that religion is to give lessons in morals, for the people rests on Sunday after a week of school or work.
It was in March 2014 that I discovered the contents of the Bible by attending a Pentecostal church for a few months before continuing in solitude reading this particular book, until April 2015.
I think I am a simple fisherman who became a disciple of Christ. I believe that Christ is always alive, that he is God, and he lives in the heart of every person. I think God is the part of truth in every person. My personal web page is accessible by visiting the link "Notions of space and time" from this site:

The section where I presents my understanding of the Bible is deliberately written in English.
Alexander, thank you for your interest.
Rommel.

Dear Ram,
excuse me please, but what you tell - it is blasphemy. Of course, people should be helped, but it isn't necessary to think that you instead of God, you help all. Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise therefore. that they touched the tree of knowledge. Unfortunately, after exile from Paradise we have to know God out of borders of Paradise (and in Paradise and it is necessary to learn nothing, so it was very good to live in Paradise, didn't expel yet). It is necessary to help sinful people of course, but it is minor question, main thing it to know God, for example in science.
Sincerely, Alexander

Alexander,
As a pagan by birth, my Bible is limited to the narrative of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, and to the writings of the Apostles. However, Adam and Eve are actually cited in the writings of the Apostles.
I do not think that the aim of science is to establish the totality of what is exact in nature. Rather, science allows us to reject what is not consistent within a very precise set of hypotheses (subject to still unrecognized phenomena).
Alexander, it is not fair to think that faith is contrary to science. We should first specify what consists this faith. My faith is not based on Adam and Eve and Paradise. My faith is based on this proposition (P): Truth is the light of men.
This observation comes from the reading of the Gospels and the Apostles (I would not have done it all alone) and I interpret it in these other words: God is the notion of truth.
My proof of proposition (P) stems from an obvious paradox. Indeed, if there is a theory (a system of hypotheses) that makes it possible to prove that (P) is false, then this demonstration of the falsehood of (P) can be considered in fact as the only lie that pretends to enlighten men .
Alexander, a pagan imagines that some small lies can serve just causes. The one who blasphemes is the one who falsifies the results or the interpretation of the process of building a physics experiment with the sole aim of promoting a certain theory.
Alexander, blaspheming is lying in the name of truth and I think that truth is a relative notion.
Rommel.

Dear Ram,
as I have understood you, esteem Christ from Nazareth. Then allow to ask you: "You have reached Christ's age or still not?"
When to me there were so many years as to you, I thought too that the truth is a relative concept, but there was it not so. There is such Ancient Greek logical paradox: "All Cretans lie, Cretan Brut has told". The truth was told by Cretan Brut or he has told a lie? For 2,5 thousand years nobody could give the answer to this question. (Reference: Crete is the main Greek island on which there lived antique Greeks, and now there live modern Greeks.)
Sincerely Alexander

Alexander,
Yes, I esteem Jesus of Nazareth. It is thanks to him and to his apostles that I know that I must worship and serve the truth itself (the truth which is in me), and not the persons who claim to possess it or the objects that are supposed to shelter it.
On my web page (I told you the link) I quoted in English some extracts from the Bible that led me to this conclusion. I also specified on this web page that I was born on March 18, 1982. So if Jesus died at 33, then I reached that age while I was learning the content of the Bible.
1. If the Cretan citizen did not lie in relation to his relative truth, then he really thinks deep down that all Cretans lie.
2. If the Cretan Brut lied in relation to his relative truth then he thinks deep inside himself that there might be Cretans who do not lie.
Alexander I think that (1) leads to a contradiction whereas (2) is mathematically acceptable since the Cretan Brut is not God. My solution is therefore that Cretan Brut is a liar.

Alexander,
If the Cretan Brut had said "all I say is a lie" then the mathematically acceptable solution would always be that he is a liar.
Alexander, Jesus said that his brethren are not only among the Jews, but also scattered among the pagans.

On pourrait énoncer qu'un paradoxe est de nature logique lorsqu'il peut être analysé en utilisant la définition selon laquelle la
vérité (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth) est la conformité entre ce qu'une personne transmet et ce que cette personne sait effectivement; et qu'un paradoxe qui n'est pas de nature logique est de nature sémantique.
