MICHELLE: It was not my intent to insult anyone; but I probably do not qualify as an intellectual midget. I do find your response insulting though.

dar?
I wonder why it is, that people who worship evolution and 'higher learning' can not seem to get out of the gutter when it comes to the world of communicating with their fellow humans.
Explanation?
Why do you have to start out from the point of insulting those who do not subscribe to your views (the Bible's Creation myth) as though you have independently come up with a superior answer?

Michelle, before you go off making fun of other people's intellectual capabilities, take a look at your own first.
Myth: n.
1. A traditional, typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serves as a fundamental type in the worldview of a people, as by explaining aspects of the natural world or delineating the psychology, customs, or ideals of society

To answer the posted question: Whilst still Christian, I was told that the galaxies and black holes were just more of God's creation.

Story of creation is vague and with very little details. It is also about the beginnings of THIS planet or at most this galaxy.

I dont understand why evolutionists cant get it into their heads that you can believe in God and science. I believe God works thru scientific theories. I believe the earth was organized from other material and not just poofed into existance. I cant begin to have the arrogance to know how exactly anything was created and it amazes me that evolutionists do considering the big holes in the theory of evolution and the fact that scientists get it wrong all the time.

We should continue to advance scientific research. That doesnt in any way diminish from Gods creation or my belief in God. The Bible was written from the perspective of people that didnt know what technology or even science was. God has to teach people according to their knowledge and how they would best understand it. Introducing DNA lessons to the people of biblical times wouldnt exactly work.
It didnt hurt the peoples faith to not understand dna and it doesnt hurt anyones faith now to understand the concept of genetics and adaptation.

They can work together.

It's a matter of perspective isn't it. No the bible is not written as a scientific text however, we might want a little more information on the process of galaxy creation before we claim to understand. For instance there is a growing speculation among leading mathematical scientist that the supermasive black holes at the center of galaxies may in fact be the primary cause of the formation of planets and stars. FYI

The Bible's focus during the six days is completely on Earth. It does not give any indications about what is taking place outside of Earth, except what can be seen with the naked eye at night. From that, if extrastellar activity was happening during that time, it's of little consequence to a believer. It does not prohibit or interfere with any events that physics claims to be correct. To an open-minded thinker, they exist as siblings. Science is always reminded that it was born later.

Michelle obviously has an inferiority complex. Why are you getting so defensive about a perfectly valid, legitimate question? Is it because you don't have the knowledge to provide an answer?

it doesn't square

intelligent design / creationism is faith

evolution, galaxies, black holes are science

(apples and oranges)

faith belongs in church

science belongs in public schools

simple really

It doesn't, unless you insert a whole lot of stuff that isn't there, and twist things that are there to mean something other than what the authors intended.

It doesn't "square" with science at all.
