Does anyone agree with my theory?

Question

First of all I am Christian through and through. If you are a muslim trying to convert people, go away.

My theory is that when God created the earth in his seven days, his days were different than our days. I believe that one of his days could have been millions of our years. Is this even a possibility? Are there any pastors with opinions?

The second part of my theory concerns evolution. I believe that God's creatures are constantly changing so that they can make our world better. For example, horses changed to become more powerful and bigger so that they could provide power and sport for us. What do you guys think?

I should have mentioned this before, if you want to tear down my faith, go elsewhere. You are wasteing your time. I will not be moved on my trust in God and Jesus so don't even bother. All I want is to try to gain some understanding from other Christians about some things I've learned in science and am having trouble coping with. If you're here for any other reason, skidattle.

Answer 1

YOUR THEORY IS NOT A THEORY. IT IS SCRIPTRUAL FACT !!!!!!



If a day equals 1000 years and 1000 years equals a day, then since Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, does this have significance for His Second Coming?

Let's see some things that really do seem to have significance, first of all from Ha'aretz "Small Quake Hits Dead Sea; Experts: Big One On The Way." And from Templemount.org "Israeli President asks Vatican to Reveal List of Temple Treasures, Vessels and Judacia they Hold."

I guess they had some things right there in the Vatican that they would like to know about and they would like to have. First of all,

the Rabbis said that there would only be seven days in world history because a day was like 1,000 years, Psalm 90:4, and it was patterned after creation. He created the world in six days, Genesis 1:31 and rested on the 7th day, Genesis 2:2. And since each day represents 1,000 years, and we Christians also set that according to II Peter 3:8, we then have four days of Old Testament time and three days of New Testament time for the total of 7000 years, So let's just deal with the three days of New Testament time.

Here is proof that this is correct, Hosea 6, verse 2. The Jews didn't have their own land for a couple thousand years and they say after two days, 2,000 years, He'll revive us - that happened in 1948, almost after 2,000 years, then on the third day which just started in the last number of months, He will raise us up that we may live in his sight, the Jews are raised in Daniel 12, when the Messiah comes and sets his foot upon the earth. Now here are two exciting signs that , They're expecting the greatest earthquake ever and it's right there at the Dead Sea fault and when Jesus Christ returns His Feet hit the Mount of Olives and it splits down the center and they say, we are waiting for that big one and that could be the return of Christ. But the most exciting thing, beyond that, is that the Jews are asking for all of the things the Vatican has from the old temples. Why? Because they have built the replica of the exact temple 269,000 square feet by the dead sea! And they are putting everything in it and getting all the Cohen's. For they are the Levites, they're prepared to do sacrifice so that when the real one is built, the one in which antichrist sits, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 and says he's god, Daniel 11:36, it will be ready. It's that close. Then Christ comes and sits in it permanently. Ezekiel 40 to 44.



Have a nive week.

Answer 2

And here we have another Christian trying desperately to rationalize their beliefs through a thin veil of logic and science. Nowhere in the bible does it discuss the possibility of the seven days being anything more than 24 hour periods (well, actually it would have been drastically shorter than that, since the days grow longer over time), and it certainly doesn't discuss evolution. The problem with accepting science and trying to use it in your religious beliefs is that science effectively does away with the necessity of any sort of god. Our current universe is billions of years old; however, due to the conservation of mass and energy, nothing needed to be "created," but rather always existed (the big bang is not a theory about how this matter came into existence). And as far as evolution goes, because perhaps you have realized it is supported by an overwhelming amount of evidence, you have decided to use it in your debate as well. The problem with that is it conflicts with what is written in the bible. I would recommend sticking to blind faith, the absence of reason and logic, or making the full leap to science and reality, but the half-hearted approach that you're taking now is completely ridiculous.

Edit: So you wish to believe in science, but you've decided to irrationally cling to your faith regardless, and thus form opinions that contradict one another. Well, good luck with that.

Answer 3

are the seven days over, I think he is still creating or recreating and does it all the time. As you mentioned, horses changed to become more powerful....... The seven days are still on and will be till u cross the prism and be with the light, where there is oneness.

Let's have some respect for Jesus and do what he did, not live in fool's paradise. He did love all and asked for forgiveness for the once who killed the body and took his life. As he knew that no-body has the power to take away his life except for the giver. So how come u call yourself Christian, when u differentiate in people by putting slots like religion, colour. Grow up, please be the true Christ lover, with your actions, words.

Just for ur information, I am not a Muslim. I love all those guru's who travelled the path before me, Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna, Mother Terresa and so many more.
Love

Answer 4

First off science has calculated that the "days" mentioned in the bible were actually 100's of thousands in length. I think it was around 600,000 years per "day". As to evolution, of course. Creatures evolve to better survive their changing enviroment and it constantly continues to this day. My believe is the creator did create all the life but then left it alone to see how it will develope. A celestial scientist. No not intelligent design but divine design.

I am not a pastor but actually a priestess. I am a witch in an established coven. That is why I say "Creator" as not to turn you off to my opinion. I know that you asked this of Christians but even us non-christians have an opinion on such.

Answer 5

I am a muslim but am not trying to covert anyone let me shed some light to your first thought looks like bible has a problem here.

Creation of the Universe in Six Days
As per the Bible, in the first book of Genesis in Chapter One, the universe was created in six days and each day is defined as a twenty-four hours period. Even though the Qur’an mentions that the universe was created in six ‘Ayyaams’, ‘Ayyaam’ is the plural of years; this word has two meanings: firstly, it means a standard twenty-four hours period i.e. a day, and secondly, it also means stage, period or epoch which is a very long period of time.

When the Qur’an mentions that the universe was created in six ‘Ayyaams’, it refers to the creation of the heavens and the earth in six long periods or epochs; scientists have no objection to this statement. The creation of the universe has taken billions of years, which proves false or contradicts the concept of the Bible which states that the creation of the Universe took six days of twenty-four hour durations each.

Sun Created After the Day
The Bible says in chapter 1, verses 3-5, of Genesis that the phenomenon of day and night was created on the first day of creation of the Universe by God. The light circulating in the universe is the result of a complex reaction in the stars; these stars were created according to the Bible (Genesis chapter 1 verse 14 to 19) on the fourth day. It is illogical to mention the result that is the light (the phenomenon of day and night) was created on the first day of Creation when the cause or source of the light was created three days later. Moreover the existence of evening and morning as elements of a single day is only conceivable after the creation of the earth and its rotation around the sun. In contrast with the contents of the Bible on this issue, the Qur’an does not give any unscientific sequence of Creation.
Creation of the Sun, The Earth and the Moon
According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 9 to 13, the earth was created on the third day, and as per verses 14 to 19, the sun and the moon were created on the fourth day. The earth and the moon emanated, as we know, from their original star, the Sun. Hence to place the creation of the sun and the moon after the creation of the earth is contrary to the established idea about the formation of the solar system.

Vegetation Created on the third day and Sun on the fourth day
According to the Bible, Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verses 11-13, vegetation was created on the third day along with seed-bearing grasses, plants and trees; and further on as per verses 14-19, the sun was created on the fourth day. How is it scientifically possible for the vegetation to have appeared without the presence of the sun, as has been stated in the Bible?


The Sun and the Moon both Emit light
According to the Bible both the sun and the moon emit their own light. In the Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verse 16 says, "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night".

Science tells us today that the moon does not have its own light. This confirms the Qur’anic concept that the light of the moon is a reflected light. To think that 1400 years ago, Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) corrected these scientific errors in the Bible and then copied such corrected passages in the Qur’an is to think of something impossible.

Change is inevitable for us to go forward if you dont believe in darwin but think IMPROVEMENTS are takin place am ok with it

Answer 6

Actually, this theory has been since soon after the first theories of evolution were formed. Good that you are open to new ideas and willing to consider and accept science. :)

I felt the same when I was a Christian... I did find one little problem fitting it in with Genesis, but I think it's a great view for a Christian to have.

Answer 7

On the one hand...as a minister of the gospel...In Genesis 1:1,2 the bible does not give every detail thing that happened but you have the rest of the bible to look at like in 20/20 hindsight...

When God created everything that happened in Genesis 1:1.< you see period......I'm not an English major...but when the period at the end of the verse is there that means that was a complete sentence.

God created and the world existed and whatsoever God created in the world at that time was created by him...the one thing that at that time that was NOT created was ...TIME...time was created later in the later verses..why??...because when God created all that creation he also created Lucifer...who was a cherub angel..and he had not yet fallen...somewhere along the line after Genesis 1:1 he went down the dark road of sinning..and bringing sin into existence ..

If you read in Isaiah and Ezekiel you will see why he fell...He wanted to be like God..no He wanted to be God.. So he deceives 1/3 of the angels and there was a war in heaven and he and they were cast out of heaven into the atmosphere and into the earth...

Now think about this...In the book of Revelations the bible says the devil will be bound for 1000 years and there will be peace..where the lion can lay down with the lamb...

so that means no devil = peace..and harmony...so before the devil deceided to get all proud and fight against God...
In the earth there must have been peace and happiness...co existence with each other...Man created after the likeness and image of God was not yet created

Meaning even if you want to say caveman...that was not man like we know man..therefore he was called "beast" or creature(s)....

Still all this was done before time existed. But after the war and Lucifer went unto Gods creation and caused them to be those dinosaurs and creatures that started a food chain...and Lucifer tryed to get them to worship him...God would not allow that so he destroys that creation...in the ice age..(like i said 20/20 hindsight) no matter what caused the sun to stop shining in/on the earth...it did stop and ...you already knows what happens when the sun goes down,,,and of that magnitude...not to return for possibly a million...ten million...who knows...time did not exist yet..till Genesis 1:2

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.
vs 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

So now this marks a new beginning and soon..God starts the beginning...of the end

Genesis 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Time starts ticking and now we can see time as we know it...

This also was the case with cain and cains wife...since we know he was banished...we just don't know how long it was TILL he knew his wife...what we know is ...
Genesis 4:17 And Cain knew his wife;...so it is possible that he waited for her for 40 50,,who knows 60 years ..but obviously..she was a relative...maybe sister...maybe cousin...incest was not written in yet...that came later...it was legal then for him to wed his sister or cousin.

That was just the first part.....Now although you see I do believe in dinosaurs and even cavemen...since for one thing ..we cannot refute that these creatures existed...I mean go to the museum and tell the people that... that stuff is fake....No they are not ..but there is an explanation...And this knowledge comes from God ...man can try to explain ..but God can give the best understanding.....SO...yes dinosaurs existed ..but evolution is mans theory and should not be mixed to prove anything about the creation of God...He makes his creation for his purpose...and although science may put labels on everything ..yet they don't always know about Gods creation.....

Oh yeah although many Christians believe a day with the lord is as 1000 years 2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

This verse actually means ..simply that time is irrelevant with God...IT DOES NOT HOLD THE SAME MEANING WITH HIM...He made it for man..not for hmself..
which is why the bible also says..in the book of Joel 2:25..you have to read the whole book but God was telling them at this point in the scripture that.. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

God is able to restore time to you...and give you back what was lost because of disobedience...If you return back to him...God bless

Answer 8

And Christians wonder why people laugh at them.

Put down the crayons and post back here once you've graduated from Sunday school.

o.k. maybe a little rough on you. Here is something to temper it with...

The Bible is not factual. It looses all its power when read literally. Read it as poetry instead of prose. Forcing the Bible into the worlds of history and science belittles your own religion and makes you look stupid to people who know about history and science.

Other ignorant people may agree with you, but who wants to agree with ignorant people?

Answer 9

y do u believe that one of god's days could have been millions of our years? god is powerful and he can do anything. He does not have to use millions of years just to create life. God's creatures changing? im not sure about that one so maybe u should ask god or someone at ur church.

Answer 10

I think science of the physical nature of earth is understandable but the essence of God is beyond our minds. I believe that Our God is the One God and that all things are possible through God.

The truth of nature can easily fit in the scope of Gods creation.

Good Luck and God Bless!!
