you have to read it all to get what im asking!

i know nothing about god.... heck, i thought jonah was a whale. but anyways, i think god made a ton of stuff in like a week. like earth the first day, sun the second day and all that crap. and then he made people on like the seventh day or something. but how the heck does he make people the week after the planet is created? My question--- what day did he create the dinosaurs???? because I know that people came millions/billions of years after the dinosaurs. and that totally makes no sense. all this god crap is getting soo hard to believe. like what about evolution and darwinism? I believe that people came from monkeys. duh. but then again, wouldn't that make me an atheist? and my other question--- If this all started out with Adam and Eve, wouldn't that mean their kids had to have kids, and there kids and so on??? that is sooo incessed (however you spell it)!!!
so please answer all my questions or what you can answer and what you think!

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

First off, if you take a good look at the beginning of the Bible (Genesis 1) you'll see that the earth was there, just formless and empty. God didn't so much put in direct creation, as ordered and filled the earth (the word formless in Hebrew also has connotations of chaos and disorder). Second, God made land animals on the sixth day of the Creation week. God made man on the 6th day of creation week. dinosaurs are animals of land, and sometimes sky. I believe it's the prophet Isaiah (possibly Ezekiel) who mentioned the "Leviathon" which sounds to me a bit like a dinosaur. There are a lot of differences between the first humans and modern humans. they were smarter, stronger, lived longer, etc. They were probably more able to deal with dinosaurs than were their descendants and I believe the dino's got taken out during the flood because they were too much for mankind to handle.

Second, you don't know that people came millions/billions of years after the dinosaurs, you just believe that. let's not get confused between those two words. evolution and darwinism are not Christian ideas, and in most cases the standard view of evolution and Creation butt heads. either way I see them both taking a lot of faith that all life started as a little single celled organism that started mutating and evolving or that life was started by a personal loving creator God who created for a purpose.

Yes, the whole idea of Adam and Eve and populating the world is sort of like incest, but each species what to fill the earth and procreate according to its own kind, and they were the only 2 of their kind so that's just the way it had to be. Honestly I don't think that with the way that things were then that it was too much of a problem genetically becuase there really weren't that many genes to try to spread around, all the genetics came from the same source overall anyways.

Hope I answered your questions in some way so that perhaps you may resolve any of these dilemmas that you are having with belief and figuring things out.

1) Only an Abrahamic form of theism is incompatible with evolution.

2) In the Bible, they rarely mention the women, so it can be argued that Yahweh could have created wives for the sons of Adam (and Eve) and it was not considered important to include.

3) It is often argued that the length of a day at that point is unknown (though the sun and moon are not created until the fourth "day").

4)People did indeed come from something apelike (the "common ancestor" of man and modern ape argument is just mincing words).

5) The book of Job does mention a gigantic herbivore called a "behemoth", but this has been interpreted as many different animals (mostly the hippo) until modern times when the dinosaur was discovered.

6) In general you are correct, it is hard (in fact, impossible) to keep the Bible straight in relation to itself, much less current evidence.

The book of Genesis mentions that God created the world in 6 days and he rested on the 7th day. The question is, what is a day for God? Other Bible scriptures may equate a day of God to be 1000 years long. In terms of creations, each God-day could have been millions of years.
As for dinosaurs, Genesis mentions that great beasts were created. There are no specific names given to each creature. The word "dinosaur" did'nt exist in the time of Adam. He may have had another type of name for such a creature.
Science mentions that people evolved from monkeys. If that's true then the Bible is wrong and we're just an accident, or that we were created using evolution.
As for Adam and Eve and their descendents, if Adam and Eve were the only humans, they had children, who in turn mated and had children, and so forth. Yes, by todays standards that would be incest. In those days, supposedly humans were much more perfect and having relations with blood relatives did'nt pose birth defects problems.

1.Well, he made the people out of clay and made him alive.
2.dinosaurs- created along with all the animals. dinosaurs did NOT live billions/millions of years before people. It was only a few days. There are still some dinosaurs in the world today, I mean alive.
3.evolution and darwinism is not true.
4.God created the people-they didn't come from monkeys.
5.Yeah, Adam's and Eve's kids had kids- whats wrong with that?

You're welcome....

There are 3 heaven and earth ages, same heaven and earth but different ages.
(II Pet.3:5-7) For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: (6) Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: (7) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>
THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS
(Gen.1:1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
To that earth age the world that then was, belongs all fossils and remains. Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.
><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>
BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER PERISHED
(Gen.1:2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
The first word “was” (hayah) in Hebrew, was not distinguished by the Revisers, that is the verb “to be” from “to become”. The same Hebrew word “hayah” is translated “became” in Gen.2:7.
WITHOUT FORM H8414 tohu (to'-hoo) From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.
VOID H922 bohu (bo'-hoo) From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
(GEN.1:2) AND THE EARTH BECAME DESOLATE AND EMPTY
Earth was not created that way but became desolate and empty due to Satan’s rebellion. A global overflowing of water, but not Noah’s deluge. Darkness was upon the (face) of the deep, in other words the whole earth.
Into this we can read; dinosaur extinction, destruction of Atlantis, breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.
><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>
BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW
(Gen.1:2) And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(Gen.1:3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
About 63 A.D. Peter writes, the heavens and the earth which are now. The heaven and earth age we are in now, today.
BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE
RESERVED UNTO FIRE
AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN
PERDITION G684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a) From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
Some will perish eternally and not see the third heaven and earth age.

There's this thing called creational evolutionist theory. basically, in the Bible it says "a day is like 1000 years, a 1000 years like a day" for God. Which basically means that what is a 'day' for God is not necessarily 24 hours long. That make sense?

Also, theoritically there was nothing wrong with incess originally. Its just that now, with all the genetic diseases out there, its not so great for ya.

Hope that helps!

Oy vey.
1) Plenty of religious people believe in evolution.
2) Plenty of Christians do not take the bible literally... which gets rid of the incest problem, the dinosaur problem and lots of other ridiculous problems in the bible.

I personally think it makes a lot more sense to throw the whole thing out, but Christians cherry pick from the Bible, ignoring the bad stuff, explaining away other stuff... in order for it to make sense to them.

Absolutely!!! It was something more formal, yet I used to talk to Him whatever the reason and because I kept forward to my own ambition and desires, when He gave me avertisements I saved none and did my way going into more and more trubles! Into an end, within a deep depresion, He saved my life (!!!) the very second I left away of all my deep desires... There, empty heart, I was filled with God's Light and Peace and Love - a complete New LIFE, a new body, a New Vision over the past and the future :) :) :) Yes, He is my Saviour!!!

In the Bible, God said "one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as one day", "with God all things are possible." So...maybe you can start counting and maybe this will help some. The devil wants us to doubt all things about God. I would rather believe something positive then something negative. It doesn't matter how it all began...it just did! God has a plan and I'm excited about what is ahead of us...HEAVEN. I will remember you in my prayers that God reveals the TRUTH to you.
