The Big Bang theory is a product of a particular mentality which Christians cannot afford to share or have, even if they believe this kind of indiscriminate violence is the way that God bought things in to being.

 

God is looked upon as powerful, and so many imagine that any creation involves overt and dramatic energies, when this is not the case at all.

 

Everything came into existence through His wisdom and discretion, but never brute force. He is far too intelligent to act like that.

 

Creation cannot exist with God unless He makes an allowance for it. Notice that all His commands begin with "Let there be..."

 

Eternal Power does not allow for anything else to exist, for God is a consuming fire. His power replicates and multiplies to any degree, and nothing can exist with it.

 

However, only One equal with God could make an allowance, could make a place, where those eternal powers are at rest, and that happens to be the Son Jesus Christ.

 

He would only have to do it once, and the result would be established for eternity.

 

So creation happens through the subjection of power, the relinquishing of energy (for lack of a better term), and not an explosion.

 

Meekness, gentleness, and wisdom.

Unless you one takes every word in the bible litterally, one can perfecly believe in the Big Bang AND being christian at the same time.

Because then it's only a matter of what YOU believe god has done, how and when.

And one can be a christian without taken the hole bible litterally.

Strawman (Fallacy).  We do unless it's unwarranted....  There are over 200 Rhetorical Devices (Metaphors, Allegories, Idioms, Types, Simile's, Similitude's, Synecdoche's, et al) in Scripture and are easily identified.  Zero in the First Chapter of Genesis; Ergo....Literal Historical Narrative.  Do you suggest we pick and choose Carte-Blanche what we deem as literal or not without restraint?

 

We are admonished to.... (2 Timothy 2:15) "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

 

 

one can perfecly believe in the Big Bang AND being christian at the same time

 

Factually Incorrect.  The Tenets of The Big Bang (demonstrable fairytale postulate) and The WORD of GOD are diametrically opposed:

 

Big Bang: Light before Water

GOD'S WORD: Water before Light

 

Big Bang: The Sun and Stars Before the Earth

GOD'S WORD: The Earth First

 

Big Bang: Sun/Stars before Life

GOD'S WORD: Life First

 

Note: Please explain in a 2LOT context, the Sun wickering itself together (Nebular Hypothesis Style: SEE ) touching on Boyle's Gas Law and Jeans Mass?

 

Big Bang:  By Proxy, Life Spontaneously Generated via "Naturalistic" Process. Stupid Atoms Writing "CODE". :huh:

GOD'S WORD: Designer in TOTO.

 

We let GOD be GOD... and let Scripture define Scripture and under no circumstance use "science" as our Hermeneutics filter.

 

 

Because then it's only a matter of what YOU believe god

 

It's What GOD Plainly Said...that is @ issue.  Not what we "believe".

I suggest you don't take anything literal at first, but that you start with interpreting all.

 

Do you say that everyone who doesn't take the bible totally literal, isn't a christian?

Because then there is only a tiny fraction left of everyone who calles themselfs christian in the world, especially europe.

My parents, for exemple, are one of the most religious people i know personally.

But they absolutely don't take the bible totally litteraly and they believe in the big bang and evolution.

Even our priest does.

And it is hard to say a priest is less christian than you. Because that's the only thing that matters in his life. He has totally sacrificed his life to god. More then 70 now.

 

Btw: i can give some verses from the bible who can cause trouble when taken literal.

Like this: http://www.ariel.com.au/jokes/Dr_Laura_and_Leviticus.html

Please neglect the sarcasm in the letter.

And don't start with saying: 'you should see that different' or 'he meant that different'.

No, as I said......There are over 200 Rhetorical Devices (Metaphors, Allegories, Idioms, Types, Simile's, Similitude's, Synecdoche's, et al) in Scripture and are easily identified.

 

 

My parents, for exemple, are one of the most religious people i know personally.

 

Religion--- is man's attempt to reconcile himself with GOD.  Quite the Preposterous Supposition.  I can only speak for myself....a Delusion of Exponential Magnitude.  I'm such a wretch and wicked to the Core.  Praise The LORD Jesus Christ who Loved me so much despite that very fact.

 

Jesus Christ was the most Anti-Religious person to ever walk the Earth; Ergo....technically, Christianity is not a Religion.

 

 

But they absolutely don't take the bible totally litteraly

 

As mentioned above, there are places in Scripture that are clearly identified as Historical Narrative/Literal Reading and Figures of Speech (SEE: Rhetorical Devices).  It's a case by case and Exegetical basis.

 

 

they believe in the big bang and evolution.  Even our priest does.

 

Sir, I will tell you this from personal "painful" experience.  Don't believe in because somebody else believes in....No Matter Who They Are!  Search these matters for yourself.

 

 

And it is hard to say a priest is less christian than you.

 

I would never even consider an Attempt in the irrelevant futility of comparing myself with Anybody....just and only Jesus;  That's my measuring stick.  (And personally, It ain't looking good @ this particular moment in time)

 

 

Btw: i can give some verses from the bible who can cause trouble when taken literal.

 

Sir, this is in Leviticus; Ergo...Jewish Law.  For the Jews then and Jews only, for a purpose.  As a Christian, they are null and void.  SEE: Jesus Christ

What kind of evidence would you need to believe that theory of the big bang doesn't cut it?  What if a discovery has been made that will require us to change our entire view on the creation of the universe? 

 

Such a discovery has been made. 

 

A quasar with an enormous redshift has been found embedded in a nearby spiral galaxy with much lower redshift. This changes the whole view of the universe—big bang astronomy will never be the same.

 

http://creation.com/bye-bye-big-bang

 

The atheist agenda would have us believe that scientific evidence for the Big Bang is inconclusive.   Why?  Because such disproof would disprove the creator.

 

Logically, if there is an effect there must be a cause.   Nothing exists without a cause.

Tracking the red shift backwards in time proves two things; one, that the universe is finite in size, and two that there was a cause to the universe.

 

The initial cause must be independent of causal factors - not itself created.

 

When the Big Bang theory was proposed, the atheist community rallied behind it thinking that it would disprove the Biblical assertion of the creator God.

They didn't think......

And when they did think about it, they realized that they couldn't support any evidence of God, however astronomically proven it might be.

 

It isn't the lack of evidence for God we're dealing with here, it's the suppression of it.

 

and that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...

If this was actual credible science. It would not be appearing on some "creationist science website".

 

The number one golden rule of science is, no matter what your personal feelings are or what common sense tells you.

 

If the evidence shows otherwise, that is how things are.

 

If you Christians had a single bit of "actual" evidence to discredit, disprove, or prove anything.

 

Scientists would give you a metal for coming forth with your evidence.

 

Ever wonder why? Why, this has never happened?

 

Because your psuedoscience claism has been debunked countless times as either coming from someone who is lying and does not actually know anything about science, or the ravings of a lunatic.

 

Either way, you have nothing.

True enough, but is the reverse the case?   Do we let what we interpret in Scripture filter how we interpret scientific data?  If we know the answers already, why go through all the work of basic research?

Depends on what "answers" you're looking for and how you define "Scientific Data".

That depends on your position on the Authority of the Creator of the Universe.

The Genetic "CODE" is Software, it's Immaterial:

"The meaning of the message will not be found in the physics and chemistry of the paper and ink" -Roger Sperry (neurobiologist and Nobel laureate)

 

Translation:

Dr. Sperry is telling the adult that they won't be finding the Software Program by physically inspecting the Hardware of their computer.

Dr. Sperry is telling the first grader, not to expect any messages from their Match Box Cars or Rocks anytime soon.

 

The "CODE"/ message transcends the properties of the medium.

 

A "CODE" is Sourced/Programmed by an Intelligent Agent 100% of the time without exception forever and ever.

Examine the Chemical Structure of DNA...where's the Information?  It's like examining the Motherboard/Microchips/Circuitry in an attempt to divine what Software Program is running....

When you sit down @ your computer, do you ever struggle with who/what Programmed it?  What happens when you turn on your computer without any Software loaded?

Where does "CODE" (Encrypted) come from?  In the History of Mankind has "Nature" ever sent a Message?  To Source and Send Information requires Sentience and Intelligence:

DNA is Encrypted "CODE"/Software------------------Design (Intelligence)--------------------Designer!

Can it be Falsified? Yep, only Two:

1. Prove that the Genetic CODE is not....."CODE"/Software. OR....

2. Prove that Atoms/Molecules have Sentience and Intelligence.

 

 

Scientists would give you a metal for coming forth with your evidence

 

a "Metal"? ....Like Lead, Rubidium or Strontium?

 

Because your pseudoscience claism

 

PSEUDO-science: is an activity resembling science but based on fallacious assumptions. http://www.webster-dictionary.org/definition/pseudoscience

 

Ad Hoc Hypothesis or "after-the-fact" Hypothesis: is a hypothesis added to a theory in order to save it from being falsified. They are characteristic of PSEUDO-scientific objects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc_hypothesis

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
