Help! The bible won't let me believe in these things!?

Question

I can't believe in Flu Vaccinations, because then I'd admit that viruses mutate and evolve.

I can't believe in Earthquakes, because they prove plate-tectonics, which shows small evidence of major motion spanning millions and millions of years.

I can't believe my own EYES! When I view the Grand Canyon I see evidence of millions of years of erosion.

But the bible says the earth was created in 6 days and is only about 6000 years old.

So God has obviously played a trick on us to test us. So I can't believe in these things!Right?

Answer 1

Who is "us"? Believe what you want! Satan has blinded the eyes of those who labeled themselves as unbelievers.

+T+

Answer 2

You can believe that viruses mutate and evolve.. they do so because we try to play God and make vaccines. The virus becomes stronger than the vaccine. If we would have left the flu alone, it would probably still have the same straine.

You can believe in Earthquakes.. you can believe that God made plates on the earth and that they can move.

God created the Grand Canyon.

Did you know that all the fossils that are in the earth can be explained in the Bible? There was a great flood and the waters came from above the earth and the waters came from below the earth. The waters were so strong that they smashed all the animals and plants into the ground and the rocks, imbedding them there. The ark survived because God had his hand on it.

Deep caverns such as the Grand Canyon were either created this way, or God put them there in the beginning.

Did you know that if you pour acid on a bone and bury it way under ground, some stupid scientist will dig it up in 10 years and say its a million years old. This is how carbon dating is falsified.

If you keep reading these posts you will notice that Zatte (whoever that is) says that I'm a scientist wanna be and I don't know what I am talking about. However, all this carbon dating stuff and everthing else I have written here are things that I researched every day for 6 months to write a term paper. I interviewed scientists and Christians and put what they said in a paper called Creation vs. Evolution. It is all proven scientifically. See, us as Christians, we're smarter than people think. Some scientists that believe in creationism actually did this "pouring acid on bones and have it carbon dated" thing.. and the conclusions were that scientists dated the bones back millions of years.

So Zatte.. shut up if you don't know what you are talking about.

Answer 3

Help..you need to be educated!!!

Viruses are micro evolution...this is true and happen among all species they just don't mutate into something else!

Plate-tectonics is wrong!!! They had to shrink Africa by 40% to put it together! And the continents are still connected they are just covered by a lot of water!

The Grand Canyon was carved out in a few weeks by a real big flood about 4,400 years ago! There are no erosion marks on the walls of the Canyon! Also the outlet is higher than the inlet by thousands of feet so it could not have been carved out over millions of years because I have seen that water will not go up hill!

Why is the oldest tree in the world 4,300 years old?

Why is the oldest/largest desert 4,000 years old?

Why is the largest coral reef just over 4,000 years old?

Why is there no recorded existence of man prior to less than 6,000 years ago when science states man has been around for millions of years??

Answer 4

ok, i will handle those one after the different. of route flu viruses evolve. we've reported that. it is reported as micro-evolution. What we've not reported is the evolution between species. it truly is reported as macro-evolution. Earthquakes do not 'tutor' plate tectonics, however it fairly is the perfect theory that we've. it truly is an fantastically sturdy theory and covers each and every of the information. yet in case you believe interior the bible, then you really believe in Noah's flood. in this style of cataclysmic adventure, the earth's plates might want to have moved a lot swifter than we now word them. this may recommend that plat tectonics would not inevitably want that the earth is as old as some human beings say. The dates of fossils is fairly shady. They use the carbon courting gadget, even however tests have shown that less than many circumstances, the pattern will lose carbon swifter than projected. which incorporates even as it truly is submerged underwater for a lengthy era of time. and verify out the e book of pastime. The 'Leviathan' and the 'Behemoth' sound remarkably like dinosaurs. Why won't be able to you believe in gravity? you will see it is outcomes, won't be able to you? perchance technology has no longer arise with the right causes for its life, yet you may honestly see that it exists. i'm quite particular that the earth is round. until eventually the human beings of the finest 2500 years are hoodwinking me, the earth is round. Why are you so antagonistic to theories? confident they could no longer be actual, it truly is why we can not positioned absolute faith in them. it truly is why we favor to positioned our faith in God. properly, i'm hoping I honestly have helped you in some small way. I also desire that you may start to hearken to the voice of reason. Cheers!

Answer 5

Mutation is a long way from evolution. As you see the tectonic movements you'll hear scientists say that this shouldn't be happening this fast, according to evolution it doesn't, according to the 10,000 year old bible version it would (african/asian rift). The Grand Canyon is a result of a major world flood and a massive runoff. Check the institute for creation research. There are boatloads of viable scientific proof for creation.

Answer 6

Please read the first couple of chapters in Genesis again. Most people miss it... Human beings were not made in the first 6 days. 1:26 says And God said Let us make man in our image: after our likeness etc... 1:27 So God created man in his own image....
On to chapter 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

It was angels which God created on the 6th day not Adam. It only says in chapter 2:4 these are the generations of the heaven and the earth. It does not say how many generations.

Answer 7

Firstly, let me tell you that you will find numerous unscientific facts in the Bible. But I do not blame the person(s) who originally compiled the Bible for this. If you see the history of the Bible, you will find that the original Bible was not in English. It was probably written in Hebrew. But facts got changed and distorted in the course of translations. In the semitic languages, a single word can have numerous meanings. Now, obviously the early translators were not scientists. So they translated a word in the way they understood it best --- often far different from its true meaning. So a word translated as "days" may also have meant "epochs" or "ages" in which case it would have made perfect scientific sense. I think this is the reason why the muslims prefer to keep their religious book intact in its original language, I think that is Arabic.

Answer 8

God set it in motion on his terms in which man has interpreted as a "day", "evening and morning" so the world was created by God in God's time, not man's time. As with man, having free will to follow what he chooses, creation followed it's own path as well, so change over time(evolution) guided by natural selection was a creation by God too. God hasn't played a trick on us unless you interpret the Bible, as an atheist, as strictly as some fundamentalist Christians do. If that is the case, you and the Fundamentalist Christians have more in common than you think!

Answer 9

Well if you thought a flu virus would evolve into a hippo in your skin you would not take it i bet!

Micro evolution is not macro evolution!

The bible tells that God separated the people and their languages. So him separating the continents and building mountains and deserts as barriers fits in fine.

As for the grand canyon, it could have been formed quickly when the water canopy broke in the time of Noah.


The Bible stands true until you can use better "science."


Much of what is deemed science is speculation not proven fact!

Answer 10

The Bible says not to throw our pearls to the swines also. But through grace God loves you enough to try.Number one. I am sorry you do know the Father, for I know him personally. His son died for me. I have seen his great miracles of healing, and had them done through my own hands.
Satan never stops trying to destroy faith. Though the Bible says, that Hell will not prevail . Does the Bible give all the answers to all questions? no , perhaps it is because "no one comes to the Father unless the Spirit draws him".meaning until God calls a person, they are in the flesh, and can not truly understand the things of the Spirit. The Bible says God is a Spirit. to these people called by God , we need no prove of a Father who shows himself to us every day.

Answer 11

Why are atheist always reaching out. They are like a bunch of big cry babies. They made their choice so who cares? Obviously they are the only one that cares. I don’t think I met an atheist yet that isn’t egocentric and could care less about others feelings. IOW, atheism is such a typical choice for these people it bores me, while they grovel at your feet wanting any attention. Jeeezzzz… get a life.
