I just found out how the universe was created!!! You will be so surprised!!












No need to thank me for figuring it out for everyone.. Just seeing those big eyes brighten up and those big smiles on your faces will be reward enough.

I believe in biblical creation. Darwin's theory is just what it says it is, a theory; not fact. I'd rather stake my belief in the God of the Bible.

Again, people, evolution is both fact and theory. It can be proven, it has been seen in the here-and-now, and there's physical evidence of prior extinct species that confirm it. You can really tell off-the-bat how little someone is educated on the subject when they have naive stances like this. If you're going to not believe evolution to be true, you might as well say you don't believe in gravity either. Because after all, gravity is just a theory.

I remember seeing that episode and cracking up over that. Good gif find.

Well said.  I don't understand how people can misuse the word "theory" so much.  Common use of the word theory implies an untested speculation.  However the scientific use of theory, as in Evolutionary Theory, has an entirely different meaning.  A scientific theory is always supported by a large body of evidence that has been constantly challenged and retested.  To be a theory, it must stand up to rigorous testing; any result that disproves any part of that theory will completely nullify it as a theory. 

...and Sflynt, you win the internet for that.

Exactly. I don't understand why people don't learn about what they oppose before they say stuff like I quoted in my previous post. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

I believe that God created mankind.

Thanks girl!

Who says I can't believe in both?  The Biblical account of creation was never meant to be looked at as a factual alternative to scientific creation.  Rather, it was intended to describe the relationship between human and God, and between humans and the world we live in.  I don't see that the two necessarily have to be at odds with each other.

I had an interesting thought cross my mind just yesterday. Kind of goes with some of my thoughts already posted in this thread. And if someone wants a homework assignment, here's one for ya.

The word "day" in Genesis is the focus of my thoughts. WHERE did it get it's meaning of the Earth traveling around the sun - one complete orbit makes a "day"? Was this particular concept of the earth around the sun decided on by GOD, or by MAN? If by God, so be it. If by Man, how do we know that what man decided was equivalent to a day, was in parallel to what God meant as a day?

As someone already pointed out, a single day to us is as a 1000 days to God. Okay, could this indicate to us that what we perceive as a 24 hour day, one trip around the sun, is not exactly what God had in mind for His definition as a Day?

Hmm, I don't have any answers to my own questions here, but it did give me pause. So, I figured I'd throw it all to you to ponder as well.

You have a point Mike. Actually the orignial Hebrew in Genesis for the word "day"  yom has three literal meaning, a 12 hour day, a 24 hour day, and an indefinate period of time. There are some who are adamant about creation being 7 24 hour days but it actually is completely false. Also when God said "Let there be light" completely coincides with the Big Bang. Here is a good article about the day in Genesis http://www.godandscience.org/youngearth/genesis.html

Where it gets sticky is when you get into biological origins. There is no good evidence from science that can unequivocally prove common ancestry and there is evidence FOR Intelligent Design.

I may get blasted from some certain atheists here because I have said this stuff before and of course it is disagreed with by those who don't believe in God. But if you do  believe in God there is no need to believe in evolution when it comes to origins. Evolution is scientific fact when you talk about variations within a species such as Darwin's observation of finch beaks. But when you talk about how finches came to exist in the first place. Evolution is not fact because it has not been proven.

Sherene,  There has been another thread going on - I was trying to show evidence for God, from the very beginning, and that there was a cause for the Creation happening in the first place.  I really tried zeroing in on the ID, but as usual, I was disagreed with profusely.  But, I was trying to the best of my ability and from research to accurately show that there was ID with Creation and that ID'er was and is God.
