 Undecided our every day lives r being guided by scientific and religious principles & norms. a brief survey shows dat every leavin being has 2 believe & abide by this life depending factors.
       you eva stop 2 think about strikin a balance between this principles? i'll give an example: Christains believe d day u die depends on wen GOD wants u2, so u just have2live a righteous life until d day ur called, whyl its been medically said that smokers r liable 2 die young. so wat i'm i supposed2 believe, dat i'll die wen God says so or die young if i dnt quit smokin???

Our Lord God has already given you wisdom & free will to make your decisions. In addition to that, the manual of life which is the bible is at our disposals for use. However, even if you smoke, when God wants you, you will be gone. We have old men who have smoked for more than 30years and are still kicking. We have young ones who smokes for 5years & went crazy. They are in the psychatric hospital ie Uselu. People differ. But scientifically, that is what it is. It said "LIABLE". note this wod. The bible gives you the best balance for a healty living.

That is just it, but to add to what my Bros said, this thing is not one way. In fact the Bible says, God works in mysterious ways, no one can completely unravel God...A man can die because God has made it happen, and a man can also die out of his own free will, e.g suicide bombers, you can't possibly argue that its God that called them to die...Even our atheist friend will agree.

this i believe, life is a choice and like it or not, u can't deceive urself.
i balance it with believing on the slogan saying, 'there is time for everything'.
in normal cases, there is tendency of an abnormal case

as much as God wants me to prosper and be in good health, if i decide that i want to pollute me body or commit suicide, thats def not gonna happen. Put it this was, if Moses woke up one night after all the palava with pharaoh and he said 'can't do this anymore' stabs himself in the heart, dies...  although that was not God's plan for him ( we know the real story) he'll still die. The truth is that God want u 2 live long...but the fact is smokers are liable to die young, u shoot urself= u die, u drink= u get drunk...etc. I think u've got to know what the truth and the fact is...

God has made u a free moral agent to make decision on how u want to live your life. But the best manual still remain the blue print of the creator the BIBLE.tTherefore In making your choices in life remmeber that you will reap what you sow this is an alterable law of nature. Cheers
