Do you find it at all concerning that ANYONE still believes in the Biblical account of creation?

Answer 1

YES....it's a disgrace to all of human-kind. We didn't put a man on the moon or harness the power of the atom by praying to make believe gods.....it takes brainpower and tenacity.

Answer 2

I don't find it concerning at all. In fact until I find an actual better theory (theory mind you not hypothesis..look them both up) I'll continue to believe it. My point is this, evolutionists think it is silly to believe that a supreme being created the world in 7 days. OK, we have a few things to consider here. First, we all know days to be 24 hours, because that is how long it takes the earth approximately to complete a cycle right? But what if at some point long ago the earth took say, 60 hours to do so? 100 hours? longer? It would seem this could be plausible and that eventually the earth will slow down and perhaps even stop because of inertia.

OK, beyond that, consider that I find it even more amusing that if you read the overall theory (hypothesis) of evolution it basically states that we evolved over many millions of years from..can you guess? it isn't single celled animals..no from rocks. Yes that is correct, from rocks. Now I don't know about you, but I haven't seen any rocks change much in the course of my life and I lived near a beach most of my life. I can tell you I've got rocks I collected when I was a small child and they don't start moving.

Truthfully, it would be the most intellectually honest thing in the world if both scientists and theologians would agree on one simple thing, we all have ideas about how we came to be, but really, no one knows for sure. Doesn't that just seem more "hit you in the pit of the gut" true to you?

Let's face it, we know a lot, but the human race is still learning. We don't know how to prevent death and yet we speculate we know the real way life came to be? Ask any Doctor what the true definition of perfect health is and any worth their weight will tell you they can't answer that.

Now my next thing is, I was adopted by a wonderful family at 3 months old. I've been asked many times if I wanted to find my birth parents and my answer has always been the same. "It doesn't matter where you come from, it's where you're going that counts."

All the best!

Answer 3

When God created the heavens and then the earth, the heavens include all the stars, the sun, etc. That is the source of the light. Some look to day four for the creation of the sun, moon, and stars, but that's not when, but it's the first mention in the creation account of "why." It says for seasons, days, years, etc. It's not when those bodies were created Many Christians like myself have no problem with a big bang, or God working in an evolutionary process. Day is used figuratively for a period of time in many scriptures, and the day/age theory of the creation believes there can be millions to billions of years between the days. The order for the creation parallels the same order science gives. First comes the heavens (stars, etc.), then an empty earth without form, then land followed by oceans, then plant life followed by the first intelligent life in the sea, then comes birds (which according to science are descendants of dinosaurs), then mammals, then a more specific wild animal, and finally man. It's actually amazing that it gives an order 3,000 plus years before science confirms that same order. Adam is not created until after the seventh day, and the day/age theory believes the man created on the sixth day is not the same as Adam who is first mentioned after the seventh day. That allows for cave men, and explains where Adam and Eve's children found wives, since there were people before them. As far as intelligent design, when some Christians latch onto a world that is 6,000 years old, the thought of "not intelligent" comes to my mind. They need to be convinced that science is not the enemy, that science actually corroborates the biblical order. Likewise, non-religionists need to explain how Genesis came up with the same order as science, considering how that might relate to intelligent design. From a scientific standpoint, a large vapor cloud of water covered the earth, and could not settle on the earth to form the oceans until the earth cooled down and solidified. So, no light could penetrate this thick cloud of water. In Genesis, the let there be light on the earth could correspond to this settling of the waters on the surface.

Answer 4

It's a little concerning that some people take it literally. Personally, I think God is the greatest scientist and artist of all. Evolution is simply one of the tools used to create life. I doubt he just made everything appear out of nothing, but then again I'm not God so let those people cling to their belief. It makes them feel safe in a world that they really don't want to understand, and who are we to deprive them of that beautiful 'ignorance in bliss' feeling? The Biblical account of creation was passed down through oral tradition, and they did the best they could with the knowledge they had at the time. God gave them the version they best could understand; you wouldn't describe, say, the laws of physics to a six year old would you? They'd just respond with, "WTF??" I think the Biblical account must be rooted in some truth, but it just gives the Cliff Notes version of the story. Science and God are perfectly reconcilable if you ask me.

Answer 5

No cause it makes more since to believe in the Biblical account. I don't see monkeys turning in to humans yet do you. There has to be someone out there causing things to work out. You take a remote controlled plane as long a someone is directing it it will fly but when it is left along it will fall down. I believe the hand of God is controlling what happens here on earth. He may not be causing it but he allows it. We get caught up in ourselves and God lets things happen to bring us back on board. Hope this helps. God bless

Answer 6

What is so incredulous?....I also believe that Jesus Christ is God Himself...even many Atheists can at least understand how I could believe such, even though they themselves do not personally endorse my belief....yet to believe in the Biblical account of creation,which was endorsed by Jesus Christ(God),is unfathomable somehow.

What you really find to be concerning is not belief in the validity of creationism but rather, belief in the creator.

God and His Word of are inseparable.

Answer 7

No i find it amazing that the people who are doing the things the BIBLE says that they will do do not believe in the Bible. And i also find it amazing that in this country which was founded on God and blessed by God there is rarely a true christian. But people like you asked for God out of the schools and out of the country and look what you got! You made yourselves wimps for children and murders and theifs and all the things that us Chirstians tought against and even though i go through my school not knowing if i could get shot ( and crime rates went up in schools the day prayer got taken out look it up!) You know what I say?! AMEN YOU GOT WHAT YOU ASKED FOR AND NOW YOU CAN LIVE WITH IT. IT PROVES TO ME THERE IS A GOD! AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TRUE WRATH OF GOD TO COME DOWN ON THIS WORLD!

Answer 8

Concerning? No, but it really IS amazing that there are whole groups of people who believe that the story of Adam and Eve, that we believed in when we were six until we were better able to understand otherwise, is what really happened.

OK, after that long rant from that one guy that thinks (I didn't read the entire rant.) that Neanderthals lived next door to modern man, it's a little scary. And then those who keep answering that evolution is a myth, is really, really scary!

Answer 9

I find this question concerning. Why don't you ponder the possibilty of evolution being wrong while Creationism is right, but has not been fully explained yet. God did not tell us what seven days meant to HIM. We came up with the "big-bang" theory, not God. We will not know until he returns or we meet him in heaven and ask him!

Answer 10

OH...THE GREAT ONE HAS SPOKEN. I guess I can't believe the Bible anymore. Sorry, but I do. Do you find it concerning that ANYONE would be so close minded to believe Grandma came from seaweed?

Answer 11

Not concerning it in fact gives me hope
