RE: Science and Religion: The How and Why of the Universe

in #religion8 years ago

Thanks for reading!
I believe Moses really did write Genesis, I just mentioned the controversy because some historians like to argue about it.

As far as how long it took God to make the earth... we will have to disagree on that. I believe God lives outside of time, so wouldn't measure his time by earth days. I think there is a lot more to what God does and is than can possibly be recorded on paper for us to understand, so while I read and follow the Bible, I feel it contains only a small percentage of God's truth. The point in the Ten Commandments where it says God created the earth in 6 days and rested on the seventh... well, it could be there to remind us that we need to take a break, too, and devote some time to worship. No excuses of being too busy. It doesn't necessarily have to be interpreted as 6 earth days (since on several of those days, there was no sun for the earth to orbit, and no solid earth to spin). Could it be 6 God days?

Anyway, I love your replies, they definitely help me think! Keep reading and commenting!

Look me up after the Lord returns and we'll go ask Him. :o)

He did say "It was evening and it was morning, the first day".

Lol. Since there was no earth yet, it COULD be in His time frame.
