Another religious discussion (Tconwell)

[Coasterkidmwm]

Hey so on the sixth day god was totally badass and "then God said, ??????Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind??????; and it was so"

Plz explain how dinosaur and person hung out 6K years ago when it takes 17000 times longer (conservative estimate) for lithification to occur. I don't understand this cause it is contradictory.

[jayman]

several different answers..
old earth creation theory ,"god did create the world in 6 days, he just made it look old" or "the wieght of all the water from the great flood caused an acceleration of said geological procedure" or (not as likeley) wellll how long is a "day " to god.. or maybe, but not likeley.. "satan has done anything in his power to convince people that god isnt in charge'
there's others... i cant remember them all.. i gave up asking for logical answers to those questions sometime around pueberty ..

Here's your answer, all thanks to the creation museum[lol]

And in case you were wondering how all the dinosaurs fit onto Noah's ark:

I want to go visit the creation museum, but I'm going to have to work on stifling my laughter first.

Yeah I'm the same way, I'd probably wouldn't last more than a few minutes.

What would Jesus think?

God said it, I believe it, that settles it.

Other than that ... when I see Him face to face as promised in Acts 1:11, I shall ask Him how it can be. Not sure how I can get the answer to you though since I am not certain of your future.

We can arrange that!

Strongly disagree

Opinions vary Matt, one day, I will see for myself. Maybe you will too.

1 Peter 3:8-9, "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

I'm totally and without any mental reservation comfortable with my choice, Matt.

[Oscar]

"With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."

Dude, that is like saying nothing all. It is either one or the other. I opens can of worms [:O]

[Coasterkidmwm]

/me grabs a bigger can of worms.

You're using that quote out of context because I said so.

wait, ok , how can you disagree with that? it does settle it.. he came right out and you his honest answer. he's not claiming to have an answer that will satisfy anyone else but himself, thats it .. your question was answered by the person you asked.. nobody can prove that "god didn't make it that way".

TCon, why do you even bother? You and I both know that he's not listening, and he's just trying to make you look like an idiot.

Me personally, I choose to believe that "yom," the Hebrew word for day, refers not to six 24-hour periods, but rather six periods of time. This is a debatable translation. http://www.godandscience.org/youngearth ... number.pdf

Time is relative. Time is Man-made. So we're all wrong. We suck.

BTW: Imagine in original post is photoshoped to look 130,000 years older than it really is NICE WORK.

CHECKMATE ATHEISTS!

So I'm supposed to believe something because YOU tell me to, not because of what my eyes tell me?

It's a day according to the Hebrew calendar. They have a whole separate calendar and everything from the Christian version (in use now) which is why their holidays fall at different times each year.

What you're proposing is like comparing the metric and imperial systems. They're totally separate systems.

There is a big picture, take a glance at it sometime.

No, I don't expect you'll believe any of it. I expect that you made up your mind a long time ago, and now you're just asking this question to see what kind of a reaction you can get out of people.

Disney theme parks attract a huge number of religious people. I'm curious, what are their reactions to rides like Dinosaur, Universe of Energy, Spaceship Earth (to name a few) that mention the earth as OLD OLD OLD. Not a few thousand years ago old. But millions of years old! Do they just assume all these rides as fantasy? Cause you know, they have a land dedicated to that stuff in the Magic Kingdom.

^I don't see how that's any different than visiting a national/state park or any kind of museum where there's a mention of geology or plate tectonics or anything like that.

That wasn't the answer I was looking for. What do they THINK about it? If you're religious you can answer this for me.

Thanks,

i'd be too awestruck to laugh. it's so funny it's not funny.

What God says is the divine truth!

Long live the warriors of Islam!

We will implement Sharia!

I'm on the same wavelength as TConwell on this one... As long as I believe that it did happen, I'm not worried about the how. I'll ask Him one day, and get back to you.
