Welcome to Gaia! ::

I personnaly try to mix religion with science. it's hard to be accepted int he scientific community if you believe in the creationist theory.

yes i believe God created the earth in 7 days. but who's day are we going by? a day in heaven could be more then a million years of our time. thus allowing the time for humans to evolve.

our God is logical, so he wouldn't just wave his arm and Foosh! something would appear. like all of us he would have molded his creation into prefection over a period of time.

as for our ancestors being apes... well... thats just crazy talk xd

Funny you would ask this. Because there is a lot of scientific evidence that points to the theory of Creation and about how the world is (roughly) 6,000 years old. Here is some of the evidence that I know of.

1) Before going to the moon for the first time, scientists were worried about the amount of loose dust that the surface of the moon had collected (since it's all basically made out of dust). So, using "science" they calculated that if the earth was millions of years old, the surface would have over 40 feet of loose dust on it. Because of this, silly precautions were made so they would not "sink", such as webbed-like feet for landing. When they finally landed, they found that there was actually less than 6 inches of loose dust. According to their "accurate" calculations, that would equal it to be about 6,000 years old.

2) They have actually traced timelines and family trees back all the way to Adam and Eve. They come out to this conclusion: that their is about 6,000 years on their family tree.

3) Scientists obseving the land guessed that there was a giant flood that happened a couple thousand years ago. This was also around the time that the Bible (Genesis) describes the giant flood which wiped out all of those who were impure in God's eyes.

4) They have proven carbon-dating to be inaccurate. Still, many scientists choose to use it, stubbourn enough to think that it still works.

Ahh, science! The sole weapon that athiest scientists have against us that we can also use against them!

First base instincts tell me to go straight creation versus science. Though Given enough time to really think things through I guess I use both...

I doubt we all come from Apes(or monkeys) but I do believe there are similarites to the creature and us. I also believe in what the bible says is true, that we all came from one couple, one man and one female but we were all created.

Like (and this I came up with in Science class of my junior year!) with the idea of all the continents being one whole mass of land, and the many cultures. I mean it was stated in chapter 11 of Genesis that the whole earth was of one language and one speech. I would think that it also ment one culture. So when God seperated the people into different languages (which could also create the different cultures as well) isn't it possible that God also seperated the Earth so that it would help in scattering the people? This was just a theory I thought up of while sitting in a sceince class learning about the plate tectonics.

I think Science is okay when it comes to discovering what the world is like and how God makes everything work. What I don't like about it is when people try to prove everything in the bible and just twist what the bible said.

-shrugs- I"m just new in this guild and wondered if this would help. confused

^.^ Thanks and you're welcome. I obvious had too much time on my hands to come up with that theory in science class.....^^;;

Actually, God isn't logical. Nothing about religion is logical. If God were logical, logically he would have been a product of some other being. Its not that I don't respect your opinion, its a good theory, but I'm just thinking logically.

As for me, I believe that God created everything in 7 days. He IS God after all and can do almost anything (almost, because he cannot lie mrgreen )

creationist? I believe God Created all
big bang? He said BANG and it happened
evolution? Dont believe in it
something else....? Look back at the first answer

Now i would like to know what peoplein here think about Darwin.
Personnaly I don't mind the guy
I mind the people that followed him and warped his ideas.
