So you think the creation story took place 3500 years ago?
"As regards the Word particularly, it has existed in every age, though not the Word we possess at the present day. Another Word existed in the Most Ancient Church before the Flood, and yet another Word in the Ancient Church after the Flood. Then came the Word written through Moses and the Prophets in the Jewish Church, and finally the Word written through the Evangelists in the new Church. The reason why the Word has existed in every age is that by means of the Word there is a communication between heaven and earth, and also that the Word deals with goodness and truth, by which a person is enabled to live in eternal happiness. In the internal sense therefore the Lord alone is the subject, for all goodness and truth are derived from Him" (Arcana Coelestia n. 2895).

See what examples they have put forward for you. So they have gone astray, and never can they find a way.
Quran 17:48
why do you ask questions that you have no business on it, neither will ur mind can understand? why don't you just thanks God for everything he has given you, and worship Him alone and remain silent. Do whatever God commanded you to do, and don't argue non-sense too much.
[54] And indeed We have put forth every kind of example in this Qur'ân, for mankind. But, man is ever more quarrelsome than anything.
Quran 18:54

Human civilization is very old. there are records of prosperous cities even 7000 years ago. God had give them a lot of wisdom to live with nature in the same way as animals did so that ecological balance will be maintained. It is the recent spurt of so called scientific intelligenge which is on its way to destroy the earth. God said if you eat the apple you will suffer. now we are eating the apple and god is smiling.

The created can never comprehend the Creator. A painting can never understand why the Painter waited so long to paint it. The vase can never know what took the Potter so long to fashion it. "God doeth what He doeth and what recourse have we?" "... All are His servants and all abide by His bidding." -The Bab
If we truly understand that God is the All-knowing, the All-Wise, the All-Loving, we don't need to know why He revealed Himself when He did because we already know whatever course God chooses is Perfect and for our benefit.

First...if u "dont care" why are u here???
any way...Quran is the closest to science so if u really want to know more read this
http://www.irfi.org/articles/articles_1_50/benefits_of_obesity.htm
Second we were not told the whole thruth from the begining becoz other wise we wouldnt do all the things we do in order to get that knowledge.
And Quran encourages to study and to seek more about the universe u live in, becoz is only through knowledge that u will get a better understanding about the creation and his creator.

r t.
I'm a Protestant Christian.
The reason why you would hold your views is because you cannot see any connection to what is around you as being evidence of God. Those that believe in God as I do, see that He is by nature creative, and that He not only created all things, but He also owns everything. Christians such as me, see God's hand in our lives daily. And we understand that God cares for us, once again, daily.
A well studied Christian knows that God has set times for certain things. This type of thing is called future prophecy. God has those 'Set Times' planned out, not only because He controls history, but also because He will actuate certain events that are to follow our time.
So it is by your perspective that He is not doing anything. From my perspective, He is taking care of me everyday.

"Science" is wrong. The world is not really that old. It's actually only less than 10,000 years old. God was thinking about me before he created the world.

How do you know He hadn't revealed himself before that? Are you in touch with our caveman ancestors or something?
