"Mere Christianity" impacts Genome Project scientist

you didnt answer my question about the 7th "day".

I don't know the answer to that BUT you tell me...

my answer would be that the "days" of Genesis were not 24 hour days.

I get that you don't take the 6 24hr day creation as literal. You have made yourself clear on that point. We confess to both believing in the Bible literally but differ in what the terminology of literal means obviously.

My question is why would you ask a question about the 7th day of rest being a 24 hr day if in fact that's what I believe...like...WHA???

Why do you think there is, or should be, a difference between secular and Christian scientists? Science is science. As far as I am concerned, today anyone who calls himself a scientist yet starts with the Bible as his basis for science is simply not a scientist.

This is a silly statement.

There is no evidence of a global flood. None. Get me some that holds up and I'll pay for your entire family to go to Stockholm when you get your Nobel.

Your intelligence truly far outweighs my high school dropout background.....having said that, your words of debate on the Global Flood issue is not one to reckon with because you flat out refute what the Bible says about the Flood, therefore your view is biased.

I thought science was an area for discussion and debate and acknowledgment of unknowns providing room for any future evidences.

Please provide me with evidence for a global flood within the last 10,000 years. Thanks.

Read Genesis.

I ask because I want to know what you think.

If you think it was a 24 hour day, did that day end? It is unlike the other days as there is no evening and morning mentioned.

Is God still resting or did he start to do something again after that 24 hour period?

On what "day" did God create Eve?

You know what I think.

Go and read your Bible and you shall see what it says in Genesis about the creation of Man and Woman.

Do you question many other areas of His Word like you do with Creation in Gen?

Read Genesis.

Going by your comments on this thread and the one about Noah and the Flood, you would not believe the proof supporting the Genesis account anyway, even if it stared you sqaure in the eye..

Your mind is closed and you are happy to remain in your "intelligence" and peer down and mock those who are Believers and believe in a literal interperetation of the Bible which includes a 6-24hr Creation.

There were some who saw Lazarus raised from the dead....STILL refused to believe it was the real thing.

I get the same feeling with you.

[Guest HIS girl]

Is it your position that God does not want us to investigate, to use our intellects??

God GAVE you your intellect. USE it wisely.

[Guest HIS girl]

Do you question many other areas of His Word like you do with Creation in Gen?

without a doubt. I delve in to and study His word with a passion.

I study it and take it in context with the whole of His word, I dont take any one part and not look at how it compares with the rest of the Bible.

It was when I really started to study and dig into it that it became clear that the days of Genesis are not 24 hour days.

I don't question the Bible BUT study it.

I study the Bible and let the Holy Spirit lead. In no time do I question God but let the HS open my eyes and ears. I use the HS as my guide and not I moulding the text into something more pleasing and suitable.

Man was created on day six.

Do you have any evidence for Noah's flood other than Genesis?

You are biased.

If I say the evidence for the Flood is in the Bible and you reject the Bible - then your asking me for proof of a global flood outside of the Bible is pointless. You will only accept evidence if it is NOT in the Bible. That is a one sided opinion which falls into the category of a closed mind.

Believing in the Bible and having Faith calls on the Follower of God to reach a higher level of understanding/intelligence because it is dealing with the Spiritual. You are stuck in the physical, with a typical physical outlook. EG: If I can't see it, feel it - it ain't so....that's the same mindset I see in my year 2 students I work with.

If the flood was local, why did Noah have to build an Ark?

Why was the Ark so big if the Flood was local? It would have been smaller if it was a local flood.

Why the need to relocate animals if the Flood was local?

Why were birds on the Ark? If a local flood, birds can fly to higher ground.

Jesus said the Flood killed all who were NOT on the Ark. Matt 24 v37 - 39

If a local flood - why did the waters rise to 15 cubits (8 mtrs) above the mountains? Gen 7 v20

Noah and family were on the Ark for 1 year and 10 days. Doesn't sound like a local flood.

All pre Flood people came from Adam - all post Flood descended from Noah.

The Flood was a GLOBAL cataclysm.
