he knows im right, but is still a christian?

[Huggy Bear]

I didn't realize you were the op.

I didn't realize you were under the delusion that you thought that posting in a public forum would subject you to responses from other people.

I asked the op, two specific questions

1. what caused the big bang?
2. Also what contradictions of the Bible have you discussed?

The op clearly states he is right about both of those.

So what were his arguments to his friend concerning the big bang and bible contradictions that made him "right"?

Pay attention, child, and look up the definition of "context."

And explain what? The cause or the mechanics involving it? Because the mechanics involving it have been explained quite a bit by astrophysicists.

Oh, wait, you're the guy who said "you can believe in evolution."

Never mind, it'd be cruel of me to put such a burden of understanding upon you.

The cause.

I'm interested in how the mechanics got here in the fist place. The closest any astrophysicist has come to explaining it is this...

Mr. Krauss summarizes his theory nicely starting at 40:46.

Why is there something rather than nothing? The answer is, there had to be. If you have nothing in quantum mechanics, you'll always get something.

As you can see, not an explanation at all.

I really hope that wasn't supposed to be an argument in favor of the bible and faith, because if so, that's like shooting yourself in the gut and saying you won the gunfight.

Faith is "knowing" it's right without having any reason to. If you don't know god exists, then there's no reason to believe god exists. That's all there is to it. To alter a famous Pulp Fiction quite: Logic, motherfucker, do you use it?

Faith and knowledge cannot coexist.

For example: let's use the phrase "leap of faith" literally. If one has knowledge or proof of where they are leaping, it is no longer a leap of faith.

faith
noun
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.
2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.

That's called a reference to time. Meaning that all that happened within six days. Meaning, yes, it does indeed say how long it took to create the earth; the earth was created within six days, apparently, along with everything in it, which the book of Genesis says very clearly. Which is bullshit, as science has proven beyond all doubt. So earth was created before the sixth day, the same day heaven was created? Speaking of which, where is that darned heaven...?

Read your book of delusions more carefully next time before you say something stupid like "there was no reference to time for when the earth was created!" Cuz it says, in the beginning, he created earth, and then it details that it happens over six days. Don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining.

Wrong, read it how it's written.

Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

In the first verse we see that the earth was created and no mention of how long it took.

Genesis 1
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

In the second verse the earth is clearly already established seeing how there is water upon it. The rest of the chapter is God basically "terraforming" (for lack of a better word) and placing life upon the earth. the creation of it was already done.

(quick edit) I see you edited your post..

Yep. It was to add more stuff to the post to bury you with. Given the lackluster reply, it seems it worked.

You'll notice, by the way, that edit took place before you posted, and I notice when I was done editing, you weren't viewing the thread, so I'm really not sure what you were attempting to imply, here.

You made your edit in the time I was replying to your first post. (I'm terrible at typing.)
