the beginning of creation?

Question

why is it so hard to believe in Creation when you think bones last millions of years?

Answer 1

Science and Faith

Years of research have never proven scientific fact and a teaching of the Bible. Often, seeming conflicts are caused by a lack of knowledge—either of a scientific teaching or of what the Bible really says. For example, some scientists and others erroneously think that the Bible teaches that plants, animals, and humans all developed on earth within six literal 24-hour days. This would be in conflict with known scientific facts. But the Bible does not teach that. Rather, it reveals that the creative "days" encompass thousands of years.

There has never been a conflict between a proved scientific fact and a teaching of the Bible

Confusion also arises from the mistaken idea that faith in God is merely an emotional experience. Far from that, faith in God and the Bible is based on facts that can be verified. As defined in the Bible, "faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration [or, "convincing evidence," footnote] of realities though not beheld." (Hebrews 11:1) Yes, faith is based on evidence. Hundreds of prophecies have been fulfilled in the past and in our day. Thus, even applying the scientific method used by all scientists to establish a scientific theory, we can have complete confidence in the fulfillment of Bible prophecies that pertain to future events.

One such prophecy includes the promise that we will be able to enjoy Paradise conditions on earth in the near future. The devastating effects of old age, sickness, death, wars, and injustice will be no more. (Revelation 21:3, 4) Then we will have time to explore and study in detail the wonderful creations of Jehovah God and the many laws that he established to govern this awe-inspiring physical universe.

I am grateful to Jehovah God for helping me to find the key to true happiness—the wonderful truths found in his Word, the Bible. It is my prayer that still many others, including scientists, may find that precious key.

Answer 2

I think people like to take the "easy" way out. If you believe in creationism, then you also have to believe in a Creator. If you believe in God, the creator, then you also have to believe in right and wrong. People don't want to do that. They think we should all be "open-minded" and accept people the way they are and everything is ok as long as no one gets hurt. Rubbish. The thing we all have to get is that everyone, at some time or another will believe. For a lot of people, that time may be too late. "No one can come to the Father but through me" . People need Jesus.

Answer 3

Creation is the equivalent of something coming from nothing.

Evolution is the process of smaller things coming together to make bigger things. For instance, our Earth was not just "placed here" - it came about from the fires of gases and large disks of heavier elements came together under graviational pull to form the Earth. That's evolution.

Our biological tree is made up of evolutionary processes as well - we have thousands of fossils that show us conclusively that yes, over large enough spans of time, things will change and adapt to their ecological niches, to form different species.

Finally, the primary tissue of bone, osseous tissue, is a relatively hard and lightweight composite material, formed mostly of calcium phosphate in the chemical arrangement termed calcium hydroxylapatite (this is the osseous tissue that gives bones their rigidity). Hydroxylpatite also occurs naturally in rock formations:

So bones = rocks. Rocks last millions of years, therefore bone does as well. What's so hard to understand?

Answer 4

It's an extension of your very thought that makes "creation" altogether suspect. Since what we observe over long periods of time is (at best) constant reorganization and transmutation of existing matter, "creation" seems a romantic, empty concept. In other words, we seem to have made up the concept of "creation" because we couldn't break with the "watches need watch-makers" simplisms. (Watch-makers create nothing at all.)

Answer 5

Those million year old bones are older than 6000 years. I don't understand what is so hard to believe about that.

Answer 6

Because the evidence is more than sufficient to tell us that there are natural explanations for the existence of life on our planet-I don't need to look for alternatives supported by a complete lack of evidence.

Answer 7

we beleave in evolution thats when you get bones millions of years old not creation you think the earth is 6000yrs old

Answer 8

It's funny how evolutionist claim that gravity in a gravity free space formed the earth,. my question is "exactly what caused this gravity?" in a gravity free space. Nothing has ever evolved and nothing ever will.

Answer 9

It isn't hard at all,You just have to look around and you will fine that there must be a creator for that world
