To creationist: do you really believe in such theory?

Question

The universe, created in seven days, and 4000 years ago?
I don't think so.

If you believe in such thing then tell me, how can you explain dinosaur fossils? Why exactly is evolution absurd when its in front of your face? Is it so hard to believe that we evolved from ancient apes? And that all living things in this planet came from one first cell?

I have a mixed belief: God made the big bang and then let things go on thier own.

Answer 1

Creationists are incapable of objective looking at the evidence, or in fact objectively looking at anything. There is little point in trying to open their eyes with facts or with logic.

Answer 2

Belief that God created the world and then let it go is called Deism, just so you know.
The age of earth is an inhouse debate that Christians have but does not keep them from believing the essentials of doctrine.
If being the intelligent bowel brain you think you are maybe you can explain the Cambrian explosion in the fossil record that evolution has no explanation for. The only thing in front of your face is your refusal to educate yourself on the facts of evolutions inability to account for the immaterial part of existence. How long did it take for a rock to think? If you came from an ape, why do we still have apes? Where did that first cell come from? Unthinking matter? How much faith does it take to believe in such an idiotic idea? Evolution does not explain the irreducible complexity in the cell, cannot tell you how thoughts feelings and compassion can exist. If you believe in that nonsense you have no justification for any values, affections and intellectual exscursions. Ask another question when you can show some intelligence that would indicate that you know what the &%$$ your talking about.

Answer 3

Animal bones are found all the time.

Science does not even believe that Dinosaurs and man lived in concurrent times.

The first recordings of history, high civilization and documentation only date back about 6,000 year ago to the Neolithic period which is the same era the Bible was written in (let's get things straight, the Jewish people date time from the day of the Exodus, which was hundreds if not thousands of years after civilization in that area was developed. The Jewish faith, thus, formally dates back 5,800 years not 4,000 and probably existed for 2,000+ before that.

Science is also now stating that, despite unpopular opionion, man did not decend from Apes, but was a separate Species and probably coexisted with other humanoid or erect hum-inal life forms concurrently.

It should also be pointed out that scientists don't called Elephants Mammoths nor do they call Mammoths elephants. Nor has science ever documented a duckling laying a swan egg. There are no "jumps" in eveolution nor do we expect to see a talking chimp in the near future.

It is also unclear what a "day" is to God, it could be 24 hours, it could be 240 million years.

The Bible says a flash of light occurred in the dark and everything got created.

Scientists say the same thing.

The Bible says God is forever, was there before man and will be there after man.

Science says all mass in the universe has been here forever and will continue to be here in approximately the same amounts after we are gone.

The bible, written 2,000 years ago, says Jesus restored life with a touch of his hand. Jesus also said all of us could do the same thing.

Today we have CPR and a 14 year old kid can do this if they understand the process.

The bible says everything is fixed and can't be changed and God has a plan for all life.

Today we have unlocked the Genome and can tell at what age a person's hair will start to turn gray, how tall they will be, how good their eyes will be at what age cancer will pose a threat to them and at what ages their ograns will cease to function.

Man is experimenting with stem cells, cloning, in 1953 scientists made some amino acids out of raw chemicals, it is only a matter of time before science creates a life in a laboratory and on that day Intelegent Design will become a reality, except it will be man playing God.

In the Bible, Gensis, God said, should we let man eat from the Tree of Life so he can live forever and become like Gods. Man is finate, but yet in 6,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 or 200,000 years man has managed to accumulate enough knowledge to actually become a God and create life.

What with that creation think of Man, the Creator?

What will man do if that creation is flawed. Send that creation into the wilderness, put them on another planet or kill them, do genicide and kill a species and does man have the moral right to kill one's own creation, if so than any parent has the right to kill their children at any pont in time when they feel their children are flawed.

What will you do when Brave New World happens and science starts developing and manufacturing "created" beings for the purpose of picking oranges, cleaning up indusrial accidents, playing servant to middle class America.

DOn't think on it too long, it will start to happen in the next 100 years.

Answer 4

Sorry about the length, but please read.

In the Old Testament, reference is made to "giants". Who's to say those giants weren't dinosaurs? Dinosaurs are lizards and giving the correct environment, lizards will grow to enormous sizes and will never stop growing throughout their lives. Seeing that we lived longer in the old testament (Adam living over 800 years) is it so hard to believe that there was an animal that size?

Ravi Zacharias (a Christian apologist) talked to a leading astrophsyicist who said (and a large amount of scientists agree) that the possibility of the big bang happening is the same possibility of taking all the elements required for making a suit, throwing them into a closet, closing the closet door, then opening the door, and from those elements, a suit be created. For the big bang to have happened, the EXACT chemicals and EXACT elements and EXACT ratios of those elements had to come together in the EXACT and perfect order.Everything had to come together so perfectly, that it is ludicrous to believe such a theory. (Just like it would be ludicrous to believe the suit thing ever occurring).

The more you pursue Christ, the more you will see the truth behind Christianity. C.S. Lewis said that he became a Christian because the evidence was overwhelmingly in it's favor. My friend, please look deeper into these things and instead of formulating your own theory. Remember that God created you and He loves you. Why would God, the purest lover of all, lie to you?

Answer 5

The beliefs you just described are known as Deism. Many of Americas founding fathers were Deists. Deism claims that god created the universe and left it to run on it's own like a machine.

Though i disagree that god is the cause of everything... or anything for that matter, it's far more sound than the biblical account of creation.

Answer 6

First of all, God said nothing about 4000 years. That was some Medieval bishop. And the word for 'days' actually means 'times'. It could as easily be translated 'epochs'. This makes dinosaur fossils easily explained. And Evolution simply becomes a tool used by God to achieve His Purpose. The only science lab experiment we have re: evolution involved some aquarium plants that escaped into the Mediterranean Ocean. If anything, that proved that Intent is a necessary component of evolution.
Think about that.

Answer 7

I guess I'm sort of betwixt and between, and I don't think either side has all t he answers.
God created the universe, and He did it in His Own time. I don't know how long that was, or how long ago, but I suspect it took alot longer then seven literal terran diurnal periods...how long is a "day" anyhow, when we're talking about the entire universe? I also strongly suspect that this particular bit of rock is alot older than 4000 years.
OTH, there do seem to be some amazing gaps in evolution, and I'm really not sure that God didn't create each species individually. That makes alot more sense to me, actually.
I wonder why we insist on limiting God to this one bitty rock, anyhow? Perhaps God is bigger than we imagine!!

Answer 8

Creation is not a theory it is a fact!
God created the heaven and the earth! He created everything that you see! He created the sun, moon, stars, all flowers, trees, oceans, lakes, mountains, all of nature, animals, birds of the air, fish of the sea, and human beings!
If God created everything, how come the only part of his creation that is questioned is how men were created!
We did not come from apes or the ocean and we certainly did not evolve!
As far as dinosaur fossils are concerned they could have been faked to appear older than they really are!
The earth is 6,000 years old and not millions of years old!

Answer 9

i'm not sure what your mixed belief is? sounds like you are very much a humanist in your thinking.

it is difficult to believe that man "evolved" from ape, or that life came from one cell. science has nothing to support this. based on scientific evidence and method, the evolution theory has a lot of holes in it.

Answer 10

yes God did make the big bang and directs the results very carefuly
