Right back at you! It takes more faith to believe in evolution, and may scientists even use the term faith to describe their believe in “missing links”. The real question is “Where you there?” Did you observe the beginning of creation? I thought that was necessary for science apparently not . . . especially when science needs to take a “leap of faith!”
If the dinosaurs lived for billions of years as you suggest, isn’t it interesting that they existed for 1/6 of your age of the earth? What kind of science can prove either? It takes faith to believe both. I see you’re still struggling with that “faith” thing!
There were many generations of dinosaurs. Noah was a single man, who according to young earth creationists lived for one sixth of the age of the earth. There's so many problems with the Noah story that anyone who buys it as true are fooling themselves.
He could have! But He didn’t because God wanted Noah to preach the gospel for 120 years. Yes that is the kind of merciful God that we have “faith” in! The people had a chance to believe even though none did. And the evidence of a world-wide flood is staggering! And it totally destroys anyone’s ability to know the age of the earth! In other words, Carbon 14, etc. results are all wrong because of the flood!
I wouldn't call killing off all the babies who were born recently during Noah's time "merciful". As a mother I say it's completely and entirely cruel if any of the Noah story were remotely true. It'd take a cruel and capricious god to kill off all the infants in the world (not to mention the animals) Also there's zero evidence of a world wide flood.
Why don’t we find animal remains and human remains together today? Same reason! People didn’t bury their dead where they eat! Your questions are getting more and more ridiculous! Did you give this any thought at all?
The creationist yet again grossly misunderstood the question being posed. No surprise, they have trouble with reading comprehension when they consider a guy who killed of 99% of the world's population as 'merciful'. Guess Hitler was merciful for not wiping out the Jews ENTIRELY.
First of all, your 97% is totally wrong. It is almost 50% of scientists that believe in a Designer of Creation! You ignorance of the Bible is also telling. Much of the direction in the OT is for the nation of Israel. Only the moral laws are applicable to us. But it is recorded for our encouragement and to know that God always come through for His people! Again, it is a matter of faith to believe in the inspired word of God.
Jesus was also only meant for the people of Israel.
[b}Your question is a Non sequitur! This question is also your attempt at a leap of faith! This is not scientific at all. Since you don’t believe in creationism, does that automatically make you an atheist? And most scientists do not believe in evolution because it takes such an unsubstantiated leap of faith to believe it! There are no observable facts to support evolution; so real scientists do not “believe” in it any longer! Since the majority of people on the earth do not believe in your age of the earth nor do they believe in evolution, does that not make you the outcast? Are you therefore wrong because the majority disagree with you! This kind of reasoning is not scientific at all and you are not being scientific. [/b]
There's a lot of evidence that supports evolution. 99.9% of scientists accept evolution. Some believe in God, but they believe in Intelligent Design. Which is stupid, because how intelligent is it to design something as useless as an appendix, to create a being that has sinus problems and allergies, and doesn't regenerate it's limbs when they're cut off. But I digress!
The evidence for the Bible is more compelling than any other historical fact! There are over 300,000 parts of the OT and entire books that date back to 100 BC. I’m sure you don’t doubt the Homer wrote the Illiad, but there are only 86 copies of it dating to 1000 AD (he wrote it in 100 BC; so how do we really know what is in it? We have parts of the NT from 125 AD and whole copies of the Bible from around 325 AD. The lack of whole copies of the Bible before that are because of a Nazi-like strategy of the Roman empire to burn them! How typical! But we have 50,000 complete copies of the NT dating from 1000 BC. That evidence blows
It doesn't matter how complete the bible is. It was still written by men, and you have zero proof of it being inspired by god. Especially when so much of it is so obviously made up. The sun standing still, noah's flood, the ten plagues of egypt...
{b]guess we are nowhere near living 900 years now are we? Science has a long way to go to get to that stage now doesn’t it? Still we have people living on average 70 years as the Bible says. Some very fat and out of shape people live well into their 90’s and people with little body fat die in their 50’s. Can you explain that scientifically? [/b]
Genetics explain things quite well. The bible continually states good people live longer, yet people like Charles Manson outlive people like the children murdered in Sandy Hook. You'd also have to prove anyone has actually ever lived to be 900 years old. There's zero evidence of it.
It was the scientists that believe the earth was the center of the universe. Yet it was the book of Job, written around 1440 BC probably by Moses, and who lived hundreds of years before that during the time of the earliest humans told us that “God hung the earth in nothing.” Wow! Apparently people from the 4th century BC were much more knowledgeable and scientifically accurate than scientists from the dark ages!
"“He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble.” Where are the pillars?
"“The pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them.”"
Oh look a contradiction.
“When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm.”
There's pillars again.
The Bible tells us that no one can know the future. Neither scientist nor Christians can know the near future. Only what God tells us in His word can reveal the future. Not science! It takes faith in God and His word to know this, not science! —
Science can accurately predict the weather. The bible? Not so much. Jesus was supposed to return during the lifetime of his disciples. That didn't quite work out did it?
I like all of the response, it was just a little long to quote, that's all. Cecelia, I think I love you.
