God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

If the planet Earth was at the edge of a black hole you wouldn't be here today to spout such nonsense. I mean, have you any idea how absolutely ridiculous that statement makes you sound?
Please, read some proper science and not the pseudo babble that you are obviously relying on.

I recently read that the earth was once a ball of pizza dough, and that it was that-namely, its constituent material that led to the theories of it ever being flat.

Yeah, but it's a good one.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

That's along the lines of the argument that says time hasn't always been constant.
On creation scientists, there's many that believe God created everything but not as the Bible says i.e. it shouldn't be taken literally.

This is an article by such a Christian scientist. Worth a read. (He argues for an older earth).

Uh, yeah:
If additional confidence in this data is desired, it may be helpful to note that the amount of carbon-14 found in a timber from a tunnel in Jerusalem thought to have been built by Hezekiah is approximately the same as the amount found in tree ring number 2700, which places its ring-counting age where expected from Biblical records if each ring equals one year. Even better, consider the Dead Sea Scrolls—the book of Isaiah in particular. Isaiah 53 describes Christ in such detail that Bible critics have long argued that it must have been written after the time of Christ. The amount of carbon-14 in the Isaiah scrolls is equal to or less than the amount in tree ring number 2100, meaning carbon-14 confirms its before-Christ historicity.
I don't think the agenda of that site is truly scientific.

It's an apologetic website that takes science for what it truly is and then comes to reasonable conclusions based on that. I don't see a problem with this.
