This isn't the first thing you said, but I want to start off with your link. Is it safe to assume you read all of genesis, that you agree 100% that these are all contradictions in your link? And you know that it can't be proved that anything on that page is incorrect? I don't think so, I think you probably googled 'Bible Contradictions' or something similiar then took a peak at it and decided it would do well for your arguement. Which you shouldn't do because it would take pages upon pages taking hours perhaps to disprove those contradictions. You should list a few at a time. I took one example from your link to show you that it isn't really a contradiction, but a misunderstanding.
Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
The bible never actually says rested per se, I believe the genesis was translated from hebrew. So the word they translated it from meant ceased, or stopped. Or at any rate that's what it implies. It's more meant to mean he stopped creating after the seventh day.
Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Do you or do you not believe that matter/energy created the universe that then did all that Big Bang Theory stuff? If not sorry I misconstrued, but if you do believe that then why are you arguing? It makes as much sense to say that an omnipotent God created everything as saying matter/energy was never created and was always here and created everything else.
Considering you've been arguing over where this matter/energy came from to do this in the first place this statement makes no sense what so ever.
I thought where matter/energy came from to the Big Bang Theory were labeled under one time (no time as you say). That's why I said what I did.
Why I say no time I mean there was no time as we know it.
In is treated as a dimension along with space creating a four dimensional model known as spacetime. In essence time and space are unified so that you can't have one without the other. In a singularity space becomes non existent, thus no time. In this sense there isn't such a thing as a before the Big Bang in the sense of how time is perceived now.
It has nothing to do with it being under a different name or us not recording
Ah I see, so the whatever you call it between how matter/energy were created/formed to the time the universe was created can fall under the same 'time' if you know what I mean?
No it doesn't. Yes lies can be that pervasive.
Well science has been proven wrong many times. And 'facts' has changed alot also, so it doesn't mean it's a lie. Sometimes a mistake like scientists make.
Millions upon millions of people believe in the Big Bang Theory, doesn't mean it's true or even has a hint of truth in it like you think there's no God.
Do you see what I mean? Your arguement here can be turned around right back at you.
It changes states from one form to another. I feel like I'm repeating myself here.
Quite so. I find matter/energy to be slightly difficult to grasp at times.
Your confusing theory with hypothesis. We have a working theory (an explanation based on evidence) of how the universe began. We have hypotheses (proposed rational explanation based on an observation) as to how the singularity the universe spawned from came from.
Christians also have a working theory (based on what they percieve to be evidence) of how the universe began. There hypothese is that God has always existed which is as rational as saying matter/energy always existed. Even with your observations on how matter/energy are. It is equally rational.
Both are irrational to be saying that neither were created, but always existed.
God isn't any sort of theory.
The theory is that there is a God.
No it's not the same paradox as with God because we are not starting with something more complex. It's starting from a most basic form and building from it.
I disagree, how was the most basic form created then? Don't you tell me it always existed and we can determine that by the way matter/energy interact. Christians can say that God always existed, and we can determine this from Gods nature.
Since we have no evidence or irrefutable proof I'd rather hope I have an undisclosed bank account containing billions of dollars instead of deny it.
We have no evidence or irrefutable proof that matter/energy created the universe. A thoery not a hypothese as you think. A theory. Hypotheses can be proven, this can't. Wishful thinking is always better than denying it. A wishful thinking that you have an undisclosed bank account containing billions of dollars is better than denying it as long as you don't act on it seriously. It's very unlikely, 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 to 1 that you do. Just like God existing or an afterlife existing or matter/energy creating the universe.
Yes it does make sense. As a species that requires a group as a means of survival our personal ability to live 'awesomely' would require the group to be strong. If we didn't care what happened to the group and just focused on ourselves with these same requirements we as a species would die out.
If
I decided to act corruptly for my life time, I decided to do everything evil and terrible to benefit my, you think the human species would die out in my life time? If it wouldn't the why do I care what happens for future generations?
You would first need evidence that God, gods exist to even consider the possibility.
There is evidence you just don't accept it as evidence. There's Jesus, God the miracles of previous years, (like Noah and the Arc) and theres a bible from all different types of generations of people that never contradicts itself etc... (if you want to say it does list 2-3 at a time so I can properly attack them, not a link like you did that would take way to long to discuss).
