So basically, we all have to learn Hebrew and Greek or miss out on the true meaning of the bible?

Seems like a poorly conceived plan on God's part.

To give you a literal answer, God knew there would be a period of "enlightenment" with man. The big bang theory is biblical.

Yes, that's the claim, but no support for the claim that this very core of (Darwinian) evolution proves or offers evidence that an elephant and pine tree have a common ancestor.

Why do you believe there is no evidence that a pine tree and an elephant have a common ancestor? I only ask because, actually, there is.

Pine trees and elephants are composed of the same nucleic acids, the same enzymes, many of the same biological mechanisms, the same organelles, etc. On a cellular level, there is plenty of evidence.

However, I know none of that means anything to you. You actually want to see a plant become an animal in a matter of generations.

I have a question. I remember a story in the news about a week ago regarding a star explosion that was caught on camera. The star is positioned several million light years away.

If we were able to observe an event that took several million years for the light to reach our eyes, how is the universe only 6000 years old?

Granted, I know this will go completely over your head and its a moot point, but I hope this will help educate at least some posters.

Scientists are wrong, God made the stars only appear that they were that far away, when in reality they're about the distance from NOLA to BR.

Or at least thats what I got from that Ham guy.

Ther are over 100 billion observable galaxies.... either you believe they were created, or that they appeared from nothing. One seems no more ridiculous than the other scientifically speaking


Reading through this thread, and found this gem. Scientifically speaking, if something that exists has to have been created by something else, then what created God?

Exactly! They're all faith based beliefs.


no they are not....faith is belief on bad evidence or no evidence at all. The science behind the Theory of Evolution and all the inferences, assumptions we make are based on good evidence backed up by a century of expermentation and discovery.

herein lies the difference

Nah. That depends on what your faith is in. My faith is in God creating everything however he chose to do so.

Which means if he chose to use a Big Bang and evolution, then fine - who cares.

That's one of the reasons I really don't like it when Christians paint themselves into a corner with this whole evolution vs creation thing.

When you do that, you're putting God into the box of your own understanding. Kinda silly. God can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however he wants to do it... and I don't really think it's that important (or even our job) to try and figure out.

Faith is a matter of belief with no evidence. Science requires evidence and a refusal to believe. You can use science to strengthen your faith but faith will never strengthen a scientific argument.

He did not say that for something to exist it must be created. ??? He said it was either created or always existed. And to take either view, God or not, requires a "leap of faith" as you have no evidence to support it.
