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.
Quote:First of all,
How can you make the statement "he knows im right, but is still a christian?" and not have the answers? He clearly mentioned he was right about the "big bang", ok, so explain it.
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.
Quote:Second,
check the definition of faith vs knowledge. The Bible doesn't require you to know it, it requires you to believe it.
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?
Quote:Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Bolded by CoH)
Notice that period at the end of that sentence. That's called a full stop. so in fact the Bible does not say how long it took to create the earth.
The Book of Lies Wrote:Genesis 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.
Genesis 3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Genesis 4: And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Genesis 5: And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 8: And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Genesis 9: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Genesis 10: And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 11: And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth:[/b] and it was so.
Genesis 12: And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 13: And the evening and the morning were the third day.
(so on and so on...)
Genesis 31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
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.
Quote:(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.
