Intelligent answers only!! please be respectful this is a serious question about a serious problem.

Sorry Ashish C But 7 and 8 contradict each other please provide an explanation of how this can be!

Answer 1

OK I can accept the possibility of 1,2,3,
I find 5, gap theory a little doubtful but wouldn't rule it out completly.

However as I Can't believe the words of men born in small part of the world a few thousand years ago,
Who most likely believed the world to be flat, a for them certainly only as big as their minds could see!
So 4, 6, 7, 8. are a little the the Hindu Creation story, in that it's a story and just that!

Why is it that when some people enter this argument it becomes, for them a question of Mans word against Gods word.
I were to say to you that FRED had said some thing to me would you believe in my words or in the words of FRED!

Any way sorry that was for some people (no names) who think that the belief in god is the same as the belief in religion

may you need a slighty open to grasp it, but it you have try reading Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

Answer 2

Number 6. The laws of science are compatible with the Biblical literal record on creation. To believe evolution and mainly Darwinism, you have to believe that contrary to the Law of Bio-genesis life came to be some how from non-life. You have to belive that there are some ape- like predecessors to man and apes even though none can be found in the fossil record. The fossil record shows main kinds of phila existing at the lowest accepted fossil level- the Cambrian explosion, without predecesors. There is no observable proof that million or billions of years has transpired. The geological Column does not exist physically only in text book charts. Rocks cannot be dated only elements inside the rocks are tested for dating assuming that the element in the rock has all been there and that the decay rates are constant while new evidence shows accelerated decay rates happening in thousands of years. The biological information and machinery found in even the simplest cells-bacteria- show complicated engineering and interrelated function which can only be caused by intelligence. The biblical record stands up to historical scrutiny.

Answer 3

9: none of the above

I take what I know from experience to be true. My experience is that I popped into this life at some point I don't remember. Whatever other people state they have as evidence for XYZ is fine and dandy, but has nothing to do with me.
