Why Should Someone Be an Atheist?
RE: Why Should Someone Be an Atheist?
If the Hebrew word is restoration for the 6 days then it is restoration not creation as in Gen. 1.1. And you shouldn't take issue with the Bible creating perfectly in verse 1 without saying how long it took to create perfectly.

No your interpretation is just wrong, that's all Smile it's ok, we can't be right about everything all the time.

So then god didn't create the universe at all, then. He just "restored it." By the way, there's still a big difference between six and thirteen billion that you haven't accounted for with anything but a shrug.

Again, empty assertion with no evidence.

You really are starting to get rather tedious buckyball.

I have enjoyed it many years. Keep reading and you come to this as well...

12 Historical Facts (Most Critical Scholars Believe These 12 items)

1. Jesus died by crucifixion.

2. He was buried.

3. His death caused the disciples to despair and lose hope.

4. The tomb was empty (the most contested).

5. The disciples had experiences which they believed were literal appearances of the risen Jesus (the most important proof).

6. The disciples were transformed from doubters to bold proclaimers.

7. The resurrection was the central message.

8. They preached the message of Jesus’ resurrection in Jerusalem.

9. The Church was born and grew.

10. Orthodox Jews who believed in Christ made Sunday their primary day of worship.

11. James was converted to the faith when he saw the resurrected Jesus (James was a family skeptic).

12. Paul was converted to the faith (Paul was an outsider skeptic).

^^

Proof by assertion, appeal to authority, circular reasoning (because I assume you're using the bible to show why the bible is true).

No evidence.

Ignored.

The same 1:1 that goes on to assert it took him six days? And your one argument against this is that the word "creation" should have been translated as "restoration," isn't it?

So...Thinking
