Ok what do you think about it?

Things swirling in the atomsphere and then an explosion and then some other stuff happened and here we are?


If so, where the stuff floationg in the atmosphere come from? Then where did that come from?


Or, did a supreme being create all this stuff and then stop caring about everything?

its about as likely as virgins being impregnated and bodies resurrecting... but my personal take is divine intervention of sort but not what man has become to believe.

its more likely than a woman being less equal than a man, a woman being made from a rib, a talking snake, a man separating the red sea

Again with "likelyhoods" based upon human reasoning....good luck with that.

The EVIDENCE on the other hand...as stated and pointed out numerous times on this board....would lead one to think that Creation is quite plausible...and even likely. ;)

Maybe I missed it but did you dodge the question? How did Earth and all the planets get here? Cosmic explosion, a supreme being, something else?

Somebody answer that question or give it a shot at least.

i didn't dodge the question i answered it. if you want a better explanation ask a more indepth question. divine intervention starts the cycle and evolution/science has done the rest. BAM KICK THAT UP A NOTCH! we are here.

Divine intervention. Interesting. Who do YOU think did that? (Just asking, I'm not implying shit)

Have you ever read The Phenomenon of Man by Teilhard De Chardin?

I also believe it was started on a path and it evolved into other things.

Anyway to your assumptions of my beliefs, I'm not a bible thumper, I'm educated and I'm asking other educated people questions. I think you have me all wrong.

I'm looking for open minded arguments. Why do YOU not believe in the big bang theory?

On a side note, I question everything and everybody. If somebody thinks they know me or my beliefs from the internet alone, they are the furthest from it.

I dont think I'm overtly biased I just play the advocate for a God most of the time when there is none.

I understand that. I was told that there was a religion forum on this site and came to see what was up with it and give my opinion like everyone else. I was brought up in a Christian home. My Grandparents are preachers and so I have been born into the religion. I myself went away from the church because I felt that I was being pressured into believing. But certain things in my life brought me back to God. Everyone has their right to believe what they want to and I am not here to push my beliefs onto anyone.

Aha you added a line since I last saw this. I see what you're saying but isnt that self explanatory about everybody has their own image of God? Like reading a book. 2 people read the same thing but think the characters look different.

well yes and no... christians or any religion has a more general idea of what their god is so... if you ask two christians the same question answers will be similar... we all know i'm not religious so my image of god is different then a christians image of GOD.

Right Right. Religion will ALWAYS be a matter of debate. There will always be the believers and nonbelievers. But I think we can coexist as long as we dont push our religion on those we know dont share the same opinion. Like I hate it when JW's come knocking on your door and basically shoving their lil pamphlets in your face.

Yeah I really do hate the whole pushing religion upon kids. If my children tell me they dont want to go to church anymore I will not make them go. That is their choice. Right now they love it and I pray that that attitude continues.

Paul here is the twist to my story.....

My ex (kids dad) is an atheist. I never pushed my religion on him and he never gave me crap about it either. I took the kids to church with me, but promised him that if the kids decided that they did not want to go to church anymore I would not make them.

Thats whats interesting about this subject. You and the other naysayers have presented NOTHING in the way of physical evidence in favor of your position. No actual EVIDENCE of any kind. Only disbelief and reasoning, no PHYSICAL evidence

Creationists here however have presented UNREFUTED PHYSICAL EVIDENCE of Creation in our discussion on the subject. I can mention several things that have NEVER been refuted even slightly.

As you know, I am all about freedom, believe whatever you wish, I am completely okay with that, youre an allright dude for the most part but you LIE if you say evidence for creation has not been given. Its been given, and plenty of it. :goodjob: ;)

Okay. Why dont you undertake a discussion of pulonium halos. These nano second lasting "bubbles" are physically present in rock that forms the foundation of the earth. There is no way they can be there in the theory of evolution. That leaves us with the only other possibility on the table....instant creation by a God.

We have this physical evidence. So now what?? The only possible theory we have that can fit it at all is CREATION.

So...go ahead, get started on that, try to refute it. No one has yet. No geologist, no scientist. Those who have tried have only shown that they havent even a complete understanding of the subject. So what is the approach of "science" now? Censorship. Now thats real scientific! :rolleyes:

So then, why dont you undertake this subject. And when youre finished with that one we can move on to several other physical evidences we have, such as the SUDDEN INSTANTANEOUS appearance of complex lifeforms in our fossil record etc etc

As I have said, the evidence is there. If you wish to ignore it thats your choice and fine with me...but the evidence is still there. :)

The biggest problem I have with the "Big Band theory" is the probability or lack thereof of millions of complex actions and reactions that have to occur in exact sequences in order for even the simplest organisms to "exist". Thousands of books have been written using this premise as fact, yet in the history of earth it's been unreplicable. IF pure Science could create it, why can't Science duplicate it again? We are infinitely more advanced now then we were yesterday, yet no scientist has ever created ANY new matter. Yes, we've had people say they have, but ironically enough it goes against "scientific laws"......so go figure.

Either way, anything is plausible......but using logic it looks more like it's busted rather than confirmed.

thank you Dr. Metalman for that scientific explanation.
it all makes sense now, now i suddenly believe in creationism

since scientists dont know the answer YET it must mean god did it. hmm the common answer to the unknown :goodjob:

You started by saying one thing and now twisted it into another.

You mocked the idea that there IS any evidence and implied there wasn't.

Well Mr Hulud, there IS evidence. Much of it. The fact is that this specific evidence does NOT point to evolution and but ONLY to Creation as those are the only two "theorys" we have on the table. The only way this particular item can exist is for rock to be formed instantly. Other then Creation, there is no other theory known that involves instant rock! In addition there are many other physical evidences present even Darwin agreed which ONLY really point to Creation and make a strong case for it.

On the other hand, there is NO real credible evidence for evolution. It is only a theory really.

In spite of these facts I think you have stated you dont believe in Creation. I get that. What your belief is or is not isnt whats disputed. You can believe whatever you wish.

The fact remains, there IS evidence OF/FOR Creation. :)
The fact you dont accept it is beside the point.

Wouldn't that be more opinion? I agree with Hulud in that what you see as "creation," others would believe it is scientific. You(sorry, not you personally) think it's "creation" because you believe in God. Others may see the same thing, but since they don't believe in God, believe it to be of a scientific origin. You see where I'm coming from.

Now I know you'll probably make a response trying to make me look like I'm an idiot, because that is the usual for you towards me in here. But my reply is just that. A reply and an observation that I see. Later ,QD.

First, I have no desire to make you look like an idiot. Period. If I have done that to you I apologize. It was not intentional.

I cannot warranty what you might do to yourself. :D Hey, I am joking man....Seriously.

As to your point...

The scientific explanation/origin for the particular item is INSTANT ROCK. There is no other scientific explanation or origin.

Given that we have only two theorys on the table THIS evidence only fits with one....Creation. Therefore it clearly is evidence for the Creation theory.

Does it prove creation beyond a shadow of any doubt scientificly to all humans? No.
Is it clearly evidence for instant creation as indicated in the Bible? Yes.
Is it evidence that clearly eraticates the theory of rock being formed over milions & milions & millions of years? Yes. This discovery alone makes that theory (for which there is no evidence) impossible.

Now then, when you couple this evidence with the OTHER evidence (much mentioned in other threads) together a picture begins to emerge. And that picture clearly points to creation as the "most likely" scenario that brought us to existence.

As I said, my point was that evidence for creation exists, and clearly exists, and those who say it doesnt exist are telling something untrue. :)

Yea, but the Bible is only as how each individual interprets it. Me personally, I can't base my whole life or the meaning of life or the beginning of life on a book that who really knows if it's based on fact or fiction. I think it's a great story/morals to live by book and nothing more.

And to clarify, metalman, I do believe in God, as horrid as it may sound coming from me. I just have too many questions that NO ONE will ever be able to answer. And, just as in my ghost hunting expeditions, I like to look at both sides of the coin when looking at something. Science and ?. Later, QD.

Its not a "theory" that those exist....they DO. You can even look at pictures of them. Theyre not a theory, they are existing physical evidence, just like fingerprints at a crime scene.

I understand where youre coming from. I have been on "that side" so I can relate. Knowing whether the Bible is true/accurate or not is something all must wrestle with. All I can do is share my experience. I have taken things that are promises in the Bible and sincerely, with an honest prayerful heart, and approached them, tested them, asking God to show me. My thoughts are if there is no God, OR if His so-called Word isnt valid or accurate then those things won't be/come true. Lets face it, if you pray to a toad you get no answer. All that will happen is NOTHING.
Well all I can say is that I did get answers, I got conclusive results. Which then lead to more testing and trial of Biblical principles, and so on. It's a journey, and by no means one I have completed.



And to clarify, metalman, I do believe in God, as horrid as it may sound coming from me. I just have too many questions that NO ONE will ever be able to answer. And, just as in my ghost hunting expeditions, I like to look at both sides of the coin when looking at something. Science and ?. Later, QD.

I dont think it sounds "horrid" for anyone to say they believe in God.
I am a "horrid" person...I have come in time to believe in God, know what I mean?

I do understand being a sceptic. I am a very sceptical person, so I can relate.
Again, all I can tell you from my own experience is do not be too quick to assume that you will never find answers. I realize that some questions must wait to be answered but I would be cautious on saying exactly which those are. ;)

this same subject kinda came up before in the evolution thread. the whole God versus science thing is an interesting argument...

on the one hand, in the absence of technology, you find that man credits everything to the creator. from rainfall to crops growing, etc. but as man understands the workings of the universe more and more, less and less is attributed to the "magical powers" of God.

in studying philosophy and the evolution of thinking throughout the centuries, it seems that the advent of western philosophy (started largely by the greeks) pretty much signaled beginning of the rift between science and religion/spirituality. and now that rift is like a chasm, lol.

what's interesting though is that the original greek philosophers like pythagoras (sp), etc, actually were taught in the mystery school systems in Egypt. it seems that the ancient egyptians (actually eastern thought in general) didn't have this issue with believing in God AND the scientific method like we do today.

their ideas about the nature of God, etc are different from ours, but they were able to reconcile it into one big picture. as a matter of fact, before you could even start to LEARN about metaphysical/spiritual concepts...you had to demonstrate a mastery of math and science first.

personally i think those guys were on the money, and the greeks kinda lost that in translation. the bible says God is a God of order and not the author of confusion...the universe is a system that was obviously designed by a set of rules, and the scientific method is the tool we as humans have to discover how it all works, so we can use it to our benefit.

but just because we're smart enough to see how God did it, and even duplicate it on a smaller scale (we're made in God's image, so this is natural), doesn't mean we should run and leave God out of the equation. i think that's just pretentious. but at the end of the day, it all starts with an assumption, so you have to make your own choice...

Why should it matter how you talk on here? I don't think your language is as big of an issue as to the condition of your overall relationship with God. Everyone has one, good or bad, regardless if you acknowledge it or not. I know Christians who swear, its just something they try to deal with. Not to say its right, but it happens.

Agreed. Natural order of things. However, when we look around most will find that man is the only being that doesn't exist in harmony with everything else around him. I feel that we are an unexpected pregnancy so to speak.

^ i agree to a point... someone always has to become superior... Lion king of the jungle, etc... you take are society alone (just man) even in our own society only the strong survive... we have/don't have harmony in our own species beyond the entire planet.

I believe that if your Atheist than you don't know what to believe in. And you are trying to make up your mind. Some people finally believe in something and turn away from Atheism. And then again some don't and die as an Atheist. But thats just what I think and I could be very wrong.

right... the strong will survive... but the strong are strong for a reason... just like the leader of a wolf pack.. he's the leader cause he's the strongest.. so he's responsible for taking care of all under him. not just himself.

i'm not disagreeing with u.. ur totally correct, but we could do more to help is all.

so how do you think everything got here?

did an absolute void explode form nothing to create everything?
I would think everyone would at least be agnostic.

do you have proof that your "god" created this world can be said for people that say how do you know that big bang theory happened. For me i do not know whether evolution created this world or "god" created this world there is no definite proof of either but i'll sway towards the world of agnostics/atheists. I definately don't like the hypcritical Christians that come up to me at Willy's (while i'm at work) and ask me if i've been good but how do you know what good is when u don't follow jesus' path. I'm not preaching about agnosticism/atheism or even hinduism which i believe certain parts of.

what do you think would happen if I posted of Mohammed slappin' Bin Laden? you'd call me a muslim hater again. looks like you've got some kind of "haterd" for christians. with your sig and your "discussions". what chew know bout dat? :yes:
btw: on several occasions you've asked if I am a christian. so if me thinking you're muslim makes a hater then.... :bump:

exactly. just because we as humans can't explain or can't even begin to fathom in our minds the crazy shit that went into the creation of this planet, universe or whatever, doesn't automatically mean there was a God that created it all. that just seems like the easy way out or being so insecure in ones ignorance that they feel like they have to believe in something.

1st Law of Termodynamics
The first law says that although matter and energy can be changed in form, the total quantity of mass/energy is always the same. ie: matter cannot be created or destroyed.

you tell me what started it all. and by all I mean every damned thing in the damn universe. from gravity to the potato salad @ KFC. and I don't mean, "a Big Bang of nothing made Everything". b/c that don't Jive with one of the few actual "LAWS" of science.
Because to Me, a God/dieity/whatever you want to call it creating man, the universe, and everything in it sounds a whole lot more plasuable to me.
