What do you think the attached story about creation means?

Simple. It means people will delude themselves and defend what they believe to the end. No matter how proof or scientific evidence is shown, some peopel will never accept it.

Rather than beliving in God, I want to start a movement that the entire universe is in a large fishbowl on the back of many many many crocodiles swimming in through the vastness of nothing. Can you prove me wrong?

I like the one about Nike shoes, Seiko, etc.

Just wanted to let you all know about a theory I heard recently.

Several well known scientists have stated that the universe is revolving around a center point to which all matter is being drawn in. You know that singularity thing where the laws of physics don't apply? Well, I have a hunch that that singularity is God and that we are being sucked in toward him. They say that the galaxies and all are moving in a spiral fashion much like a whirlpool moves and if you know anything about a whirlpool, the stuff in the middle moves faster than that which is on the outer rim, well, maybe we are moving faster and faster to that singularity all the time and when Jesus Christ returns and all time ends (physics don't apply) then we will have reached that singularity at the center of the universe, GOD!

actually not even the big bang theory is relavent anymore...

astro physicists traced back the trajectories of the known objects in the universe and came to a point called the "SINGULARITY" to which the laws of physics no longer could apply. Did they even contemplate creation at that point...NO so they made up an unprovable story about dimensional shifts...that at the "singularity" everything was in a different dimension with different laws of physics....talk about faith. So now...truly one must have faith...either in man's cleverly devised and absolutely unprovable speculation or the record of creation given by God.

This occured fairly recently and was not in our textbooks, as it was even more recent than Hawking's "string" theory, which has now been discarded.

It shows how stupid people can be. If their beliefs are not based on evidence, they will still try to justify them. These days we would think someone was crazy if they still believed that the world was resting on a turtle, or in the branches of a giant tree, but we are still overrun with people who believe every word of the ridiculous stories in the Bible and Qu'ran.

In one way it signifies evolution- because(no offense) I think both the story and evolution are completely wrong and stupid. In a way it signifies Christianity- because it's like asking where did God come from and the answer is God's always been there and He's the only one that holds and supports it. I guess it depends on how you're looking at it. God Bless

If I look at my watch and it says made by Seiko, I believe Seiko made it.

If I look at my shoes and it says made by Nike, I believe Nike made it.

If I look at my cereal and it says made by Cheerios, I believe Cheerios made it.

I read the Bible, and it says that God created the universe, the animals all around me I notice that they are more complicated than my watch, my shoes, or my cereal.

Now, tell me what should I do? Should I believe or not?

Should I believe in some stories of a guy like me that somehow dust, light, water, other chemicals, exploded in one big bang and here we are?

Were the parts of my watch, shoes, and cereal all dumped into one big basin shaken up, blasted by a dynamite and presto these came into being? Was it not that someone designed, and made them.

Now I ask you my friend: Which would you believe--reason, or fantasy? Logic or imagination?

That's just about as silly as believing that everything came from a rock 4.6 billion years ago isn't it?

P.S. where did the rock come from?

This story seems to be an analogy for belief in God.

For example, the question: "Where did God come from?"

And the answer: "God has always been there."

I think it means that no matter how hard we try to fit the mysteries of life into our frame of reference, we will always find that the mystery remains.

Just shows that no matter how much proof otherwise certain people will never change their mind as to what they believe, no matter how foolish it is.
