>> Perhaps I am just seeing it that way. Maybe the truth is, religion has been slowly perverting itself all along.
The perversion is ongoing, and the extent of it is cyclical. Less than fifty years after Jesus did his redeeming work, St. Paul was correcting the religious perversions of the Christian churches in various places (Galatia, for one). And so on and so forth, ever since. But the word of GOD has endured through all of it — and GOD’s word will endure forever.
>> The fact that it is still in existence, proves to me that our creator still exists as well.
Yes He does. I’m happy that you thought it through and came to that (IMO inescapable) conclusion.
The fallen angel called satan still exists as well, and it’s that liar, destroyer and thief that is responsible for perverting GOD’s creation in so many ways (including the one that is the topic of this post).
FRegards, and GOD’s blessings on you and yours
Absolutely he does. At this point I'm sure he even thinks he is winning. But when the Fat Lady sings he will learn the truth.
GOD’s blessings on you and yours
Thank you, and the same to you.

It still confuses me why so many people fail to see it, especially as they age. In our youth we can be forgiven to a degree. But at some point & time I would think that people would realize this didn't just happen by chance. Even if you are heavily wedded to science, and actually especially if you are heavily wedded to science, you have to realize that the odds of having that many coincidences occur is not improbable, it is impossible.
