God or logic?

Question

The logic thing is that the earth created with volcanoes and some things in many millions of years.
Bible says god created world in 7 days!

WHAT'S THE REAL THING!!!!!?

Answer 1

Actually...the Bible say SIX days (He rested on the 7th).

Most religious/Christian people have no problem reconciling what Scripture says and what science says. They are just two different ways of "knowing". To paraphrase Galileo, "Science tells us how the heavens go, the Bible tells us how to go to heaven".

Most common interpretations of Genesis 1 is that a 'day" represents a long, indefinite period of time (one meaning of the Hebrew work, yom), it is a 24-hour day but that's the way God was communicating it to the Hebrews (accommodation), or that the chapter was meant to teach not a chronology but who this God person was that the Hebrews worshiped (framework). Other interpretations include the "literal" 24-hour day espoused by some conservative Christians and the gap interpretation (there is a gap between Gen 1:1 and 1:2 that can accommodate the vast ages of the universe).

It's not choice of God or logic (science), but God AND science.

Answer 2

The first thing you need to do is decide whether the Bible is a viable document that you can put your faith in. The Bible contains 2500 prophecies of which 2000 have been fulfilled. The probability that these prophecies just happened by luck is 1 in 10 to the 2000th power. Meaning 1 with 2000 zeros behind it. The amazing thing is none of them have been missed and the 500 are yet to come. I don't know of any other document that could even come close to this, can you? Therefore, I believe everything it says, about Jesus Christ being God, dying and rising from the dead. I also believe the earth was created by God in 7 days. Did you know if the Earth was a little closer, we'd burn up, a little further away and we would freeze. If the moon was any further, the Earth would flood. We just happen to have the right amount of oxygen and protective ozone to survive. We somehow have all the plants and animals for food. Do you really think this is all by luck or chance? Did you know that bones of a human being and cave man were found in Africa and determined to be the same age, which means we lived at the same time as cave man, which means we didn't evolve from anything. We came from Adam, the first man, as the Bible says. Did you know that they found dinosaur bones in Montana in 2000 that still had red blood cells in them. A million year old fossil doesn't have red blood cells, by the way.
Did you know there are cave drawings in Utah that show a Native American riding what appears to be a brontosaurus? Did you know that fossils of sea creatures were found at the top of mount everest? If the entire earth didn't flood, how did they get there? The Holy Bible is truth from beginning to end. Read and believe it.

Answer 3

Science has proven that it has taken many years for the world to be created. However the bible is not a book about facts, it is just a methapor(depends on your view) and the purpose of the bible is to explain other stuff, not how stuff was created.

You also have to note that when the bible was wriiten, the authors had different terms to descrive objects For instance, God took a "rib" out of Adam and created Eve. The word rib could mean cell( but the word cell wasn't made intil around 1800's).

You could also agrue that the bible was speaking about days in heaven not Earth days.

Therefore you need God and logic.

Answer 4

Well, your characterization of "created with volcanoes and some things" is a bit vague, but the Bible story is a complete myth.

As I understand it, the earth was originally an accretion of debris that orbited the sun as it was forming, and coalesced into a planet of sufficient size to have its own gravity and further attract other bits and pieces, until the central core warmed up (or perhaps failed to cool down) and the crust formed on the outside. That held the molten rock inside, at least for the most part, breaking out now and again as the crust shrank as it cooled, developing an atmosphere out of the gases that came up from the volcanoes, and eventually liquid water on the surface. Yes, it took a long time: billions of years, not merely millions.

Answer 5

Nothing is created itself. Lord has created every thing.HE is since ever and will remain for ever.This is a matter of belief, firm belief,no logic. Is it possible that a tree falls on ground,turn into pieces, these pieces tie togather and a boat is prepared which starts running in the river?. Some creater is required to build a boat.Similarly, God is neeed to create this world and to run it.Nothing can go itslf automatically.It is Lord who has made all of us and all creaturs in the world.

Answer 6

The bible is wrong.

All available evidence, from the cosmic microwave background to radiometric dating of igneous rocks, points to an ancient age for the earth and the universe. The universe is about 14 billion years old, with the age of the earth at around 4.5 billion years.

What we "want to believe" has no bearing on reality. Science is not a democracy; not all ideas are created equal. There is no evidence for a literal interpretation of the biblical Genesis account. The scientific consensus is the result of centuries of observation and experimentation.

Answer 7

I think both. Maybe seven days to God is a million years to the earth. I think God gave the earth all of the tools it needs in seven days (God Time) and the earth moved from there. The Bible said he created the earth, it doesn't give detailed specifics on how and what.

Answer 8

We have recorded history for about 7,000 years. That's why you need millions of years for the other bologna. God created the world in 6 days, not 7. He rested on the 7th day.

Answer 9

many think that when the book says "7 days" it could easily be refering to 7 periods of time that could be construed as "days" but is in fact a much longer period of time. I personally have no doubt that the earth was created by a natural process and that God designed and created that process. Perhaps in time as we understand Science more.. science itself will prove Gods exsistence.

Answer 10

Actually, God created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th. Go out and get yourself a Holy Bible and start at the very beginning; Genisis 1:1. Very enlightening and will put a lot of your questions to rest.

God bless!
