Christians?

Question

Which of the following do you believe:

a.) Big Bang

b.) Earth is 4.6 Billion years old

c.) Evolution

d.) Dinosaurs lived

I'm a Christian and believe in all of these except the big bang. Even if I wasn't Christian, I still wouldn't believe the Big Bang theory.

Answer 1

As Geoff Moore put it in his song Evolution Redefined "I believe in evolution, changing of the heart, renewing of the mind. It's the only true solution, God is always working, changing lives (changing lives), It's evolution redefined"
I do not believe in the theory of evolution that species changed species. Dogs did not come from horses, cats did not come from giraffes, and man did not come from chimps.
As far as the rest, there all possibilities:
A: God said it, Bang! it happened.
B: We don't know how long Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden before they were kicked out.
D: Bones, bones, and more bones.

Answer 2

um... okay.

A is harder to prove than most, but there is evidence. That does not mean we just accept it, because even now, I still have questions about the validity of the Big Bang.

B. You really cannot question D, it is a known fact. Carbon dating alone proves it.

C. That is the harder one, but I will give it credence because the science makes more sense than not.

D. If you honestly believe dinosaurs did not exist, nothing I can say can help you from being naive. Not a Theory in the least.

My answer would be a combination of B and D.

I like how the questioner made sure to accurately identify the Big Bang as a "theory". Kudos.

Answer 3

Out of the 4, 2 are for sure, B and D. A and C are theory's and do not have concrete proof yet. If you believe in God then he could have not done all of these, including the big bang. If you don't believe in a higher power then these all can be possible as well. As far as I go I believe in B,C and D. I'm interested in the BIG BANG and feel that it could be possible, but we will not know that answer for a long time.

Answer 4

I was faced with a good, good point at church one time. More about that in a minute!

I believe that if evolution was real, monkeys would still be turning into humans everyday. And, in fact, they would not exist. I do believe that we may have changed somewhat. For example, we might have gotten taller, smarter, less hairy, etc. But the idea that one day a species of a monkey decides to start all of humanity is pretty ridiculous. I understand it wasn't like BAM! Instahuman, but that is pretty much what evolution comes down to. I am not expert, but some logic is really all it takes.

Another thing is that Big Bang couldn't have taken place. There is no possible way. If we thought this through... how could everything just be EXACTLY in the right place at the right time? Every chemical and particle aligning in the entire universe? It just isn't logical.

Now, to the point that was brought up at church. One day in the beginning of biblical times could've been like a whole year in our time now. So dinosaurs may have lived. I mea, they don't find bones for nothing. It is kind of hard to wrap one's mind around, but it has to be true.

I also believe that the earth MAY be old, I just don't believe that it is THAT old. And as far as I know, there is no absolutely FOR SURE way to prove the earth's age. There is carbon dating, but how do we REALLY know that it is accurate?

Hardly anything is for sure.

Answer 5

A) No
B) Tough to say ezacctly how old the Earth is; Because even though the scriptures talk (indirectly about it; day 1,2,and 3 may not have been (total) of 72 hours as the sun, moon,and stars were not created until day 4).
C) Evolution yes; Theory of Evolution No.
D)Yes.

Answer 6

All of them! None are inconsistent with Christianity. Some people have issues with them because they are not literally addressed in the Bible, but if you are willing to be flexible with the words, none of the principles are inconsistent. I look at it from the perspective that I am far too limited, as are all people, to question or even understand God's ways.

The Big Bang could be how God created the world.

Answer 7

If you are referring to evolution in the fact that some species evolve letting them adapt to certain environments, they I believe that. I don't believe that we are descended from apes or a fish that grew legs and crawled out of the ocean.

I don't believe the Big Bang theory. The Bible doesn't support that.

Dr. Carl Baugh has a Creation Evidence Museum that he founded with results from his findings while trying to disprove the Biblical claims of Creation. His findings led him to become a Christian.

I believe that dinosaurs existed, but not that they lived millions of years ago.

It's hard to say how old Earth is. The Bible lays out a 6,000 year plan for the Earth. So, if the "beginning" was the start of that, then NO, the Earth is NOT billions of years old.

Answer 8

Only D. It is the only thing provable as fact. The rest are theory.... hence a supposed truth but never able to be quantified.

Just for your own satisfaction you may like to look up some creation science theories on the web in your favourite search engine.

I am listing on below for you. It may give you pause for thought and clarify issues for you.

Answer 9

I believe all four

4+ billion years ago God said 'let there be' and the big bang happend. He is still creating as life changes on His planets. And of course dinos were real.....

Answer 10

I believe in C for the fact that evolution does occur. I do not believe in the theory of evolution though.

I also believe in D as dinosaurs did live.
