Re: Question about Genesis creation and today

"When you look at the Hebrew bereshit, the first two words in Genesis, most translations say "in the beginning", but actually it means "in the beginning/start of". So if you literally translate the first verse in the Bible from Hebrew, it reads "In the beginning/start o...

Re: Higgs boson, aka "god particle"

Thanks for the replies. That helps. Here is a link where CNN assumes there is some kind of "naturalistic proof" due to the higgs. Sadly, Michio Kaku doesn't even catch her on it and never take the opportunity to set her straight. Instead he comforts her disbelief with talk of multiverses, ...

Re: does god deserve to be worshiped

Read the book "Trinity & Reality" by Ralph Smith Essentially, we worship God because we are image bearers of God. God is eternal community, as he is a Trinity. The persons of the God-head are always praising the others, and doing so selflessly. They love to glorify the others and not d...

Re: Another Doubting Christian

Scientists can fit evidence into their paradigm and call it evidence for their paradigm. It's easy to do for anything and anyone. For example, even if there are a lot of genetic similarities between us and apes, one can just say "ah hah! macro Evolution is proven!" Yet, one needs to also a...

Higgs boson, aka "god particle"

The higgs boson was tagged the "god particle" because of the field being so significant, and permeating all known reality. Many secular scientists are anti-Christ (whether admitting it or not) and so I know why many "hate" the term. Nevertheless, speaking of God, I'm curious abou...

Would God Create Dead Stars 6000 years ago?

I was having a discussion where I was arguing for OEC. YEC usually argue that God created the universe with the "appearance of age". This shows that even the YEC concedes that the universe really does look very old, at least in certain aspects (ie. distant stars). My reply to this is that ...

Re: How long were the days?

I'm new here and am on here because I have a lot of questions. I currently lean heavily towards OEC. I can see strengths in both arguments, however. Yet, I want to get more concrete answers on some things. 1. I'm curious what your guy's arguments are for the fact that Genesis 1 defines the days as m...
