Could it be Evidence?

Question

Gen 1:9 Then God said " Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear", and it was so.

The evidence from Science indicates that the whole earth was originally covered by water. Then as the mountain ranges were raised and the ocean beds were deepened, dry land appeared in the form of islands and continents surrounded by seas and oceans. The Bible made this claim thousands of years before science finally caught up to it.

Answer 1

How about this one?

Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Answer 2

Hmm, very interesting, I never really thought to put the two together.
Most of science can easily coexist with Christianity, even the creation/evolution theories.
God's days are as a thousand years probably means that time is grossly different for God.
My thoughts:
God created the big bang. (In the beginning there was the word, and the word was God.....God created light and saw that it was good) Then over a while, he put things in motion to form a water filled earth.
Decided he wanted a few plants, got bored with just that, and introduced fishes, dinosaurs, lizards, and lots of others, eventually putting them on land.
Then he dicided to try out humans.
First Draft: Monkeys. He didn't really find that they were just right, but he liked them enough to keep them around.
Final Project: Humans. Starting out somewhat like monkeys, and God "tweaked" things along the way, untill eventually we are like we are today.
Just my thoughts!

Answer 3

Just one of the good evidences. If you are interested in this kind of thing there are so many good books at your local Christian book store on this topic. There are also good DVD's. There is a web site called www.freecreationvideos.com. It has some pretty good ones, although the ones I like best you have to buy. Tornado in a Junk Yard is a really good book . If you put intelligent design into your search engine, you'll come up with some good stuff. Trust me you won't learn it in public school.God bless!!

The one girl says there's no evidence that the whole earth was covered in water. That is false. This is covered in the book I told you about.

Answer 4

Even if we assume the Bible is correct here, the very same chapter also claims that plants came before the stars, and that sea creatures came some time after the plants. THEN people came, and THEN other land animals.

So much for scientific accuracy.

Answer 5

Where do you get the idea that the Earth was once completely covered with water? There was water and land over 1,100 million years ago. I doubt if people who lived in the desert 2000 years ago and wrote the Bible could have known that. The creation story in Genesis is a charming myth.

Answer 6

No, think China and Japan, Hawaii... Once you realize that there are more than one creation story and that some are older than Western civilizations you realize that there's more than one view. The world's center of knowledge is not the bible or where the bible originated.

Answer 7

There is NO EVIDENCE that the Earth was ever completely covered with water. Where do you get this stuff?

Answer 8

No.

Please post the link to your claim.


Science tells us that the land was here first and was initially too hot for water to exist in a liquid form.

Answer 9

In the same way, the evidence states that the moon is made of green cheese.


Don't make things up, please.


The flood story came from the Epic of Gilgamesh, which in turn came from an older Akkadian story about a god who wanted to control the population.

Answer 10

Wishful thinking on your part.

BTW the Babylonians also believed in a world covered by water and the slaying of Tiamat creating the earth to live on.

shall we all gather at the ziggurat and worship Marduk?
