Have you ever stopped and took the time to read the Bible? I have, and I hae found a major/minor flaw. The flaw was suprising to me at first.

The first flaw states:
(This is a summary, it is not an exact quote) "God created LIGHT and night on the 2nd day"

"God created th SUN on the 4th day.

------
How can you creat light the first day and then the sun on the fourh?

@balerion

Is that even relevant?


If we can't rely on the translation, how can we take anything that is written in it seriously?


That's the point I try to show people.

God created light on the 21stday. God created the sun on the 4th day. The sun was obviously not the first light. Maybe the 1st day light refers to the Big Bang.

I meant to say that God created light on the 1st day, not the 21st. Whoops.

There's a lot of people who justify Theism and Evolutionism together. It's called Theistic Evolution, or Evolutionist Creationism. (I know, very creative names).

The Big Bang isn't evolution.

The Bible has been edited by humans, everything that has been edited by humans has some flaws.

You're right. They are both at the exact same level of preposterousness. For once, I totally agree with you.

Why? Let's say God created the world to start in the middle of the timeline rather than the beginning. In this way, we would have, in the past, been evolved from a common ancestor. But at the point in the timeline, that was in a past that never happened. I know it's a little confusing, but it's not impossible.

Evolution is pretty hard to argue against with all the evidence backing it. The Big Bang is a theory with less evidence. I don't think either are perposterous, but I suppose you could make the argument that the Big Bang is perposterous; maybe not so much evolution.

What evidence is there for evolution that hasn't been proven to have been fabricated?

Bal, have you EVER read the theory of evolution?

EVER?

Also, why do ytou think everythi ng scientific is fabricated? You're being close-minded and paranoid. Just a moment, lemme find Firefly's link list to drop on you . . . .

Well, one, tons of independent scientists and others all over the world have come to the same conclusion about how things evolve and change over time. Two, common sense, things change. Three, it makes sense.

dont be a hater.. of course theres going to be error. theres error in everything, even scientoligy.


hahahaha... I'm sorry, just had to laugh at this, especially the Scientology part. Every single thing about Scientology is fantasy, because this "religion" came directly from a science-fiction novel created by an author that was on cocaine. Sadly enough, there are people that believe in it.

Perhaps you are mistaking this from Science? Of course there are flaws in Science, except we scientists take steps in fixing those problems. Religion keeps their texts as is, and leave it like that, 'cept for the Catholic Church.

They fear for their loss of their grip on their people, so when some scientific breakthrough unfolds, they are willing to change their own holy texts, "written by man, spoken to by God" in order to save their precious religion.

Be prepared to correct me if I'm wrong, BigP08...I'm gonna try and take this piece by piece. Universe already existed, so all the fragments, stars, planets, dust, and Chuck Norris was already there. Then, God comes in and puts everything in the world.

... WELL OF COURSE THAT HAPPENED! XD The world was made several billion years ago, while the universe theoretically originated 3 times before that...

The Big Bang is a theory with less evidence. I don't think either are perposterous, but I suppose you could make the argument that the Big Bang is perposterous; maybe not so much evolution.


Big Bang = creation of universe. Evolution = continuous buildup and change of organisms over time. Big difference; biggest is : BB is a theory. Evolution will become a law.

Yeah, I'm having a difficult time explaining this. First (assuming God exists, obviously), nothing was there except God. Then God created the world in the middle of its timeline. Therefore, the past never existed, but had it existed, we would have had a common ancestor and, going back further, we'd have fragments, stars, planets, dust, and Chuck Norris. It begins in what we would define as the middle.
For example, the first organism that reproduced sexually wasn't produced sexually, but studying its organic composition would show that other organism like it are produced sexually. It began at one point in the genetic timeline of that species, even though logically there would have to be a past to it.
This is kind of tricky to explain, so strain yourself a little bit and reread it a couple times. I'm not saying that anything else existed before God created it (should he exist), but, once he created it, everything had a scientific history that would normally go along with it.
