RE: The Seven-Day Universe - A Response to @gavvet
I'm a firm believer in Occam's Razor and look for the simplest explanation. What's a day to God, an eternal entity that has absolutely no use whatsoever for time? The word "day" was used to give us poor inferior humans a temporal framework. God created everything in six phases.
Science is merely an attempt to understand God and what He does. When they prove inadequate, then there clearly must be no God... otherwise the great minds of man would be able to explain Him. The human mind is completely inadequate and incapable of understanding God. We understand some of the laws physics, chemistry, etc.... Tools that God uses to do things.
It isn't necessary to understand God... to understand God is to be God- simply put... Ain't happening!!!
Brilliant and concise! Well stated!
However, as creatures made in his image, I think we can get a glimmering of understanding about him. Enough to be useful. It's the God-deniers that run into trouble, I think... Too big, too obvious to deny.
Like I said keep it simple. Here's how I see it. God created everything and created us in his image. Then he turned it over to us to manage. This is all on page 1 of the Bible... we made it all the way to page 3 before we started screwing it up!
Hahahahahaha!!! :D
Tell me it ain't so...
It ain't... I think we only got to about Page 2! ;)
I think page 2 is just a rehash of page 1. The problem with religion is they have to complicate everything to convince people that only preachers can understand God's word (been going on since the beginning of time) 95% of the Bible is irrelevant... Shemuel begat Lemuel who begat Jehosephat who begat Larry the Blind piano player...
All you need to know is Love God, Love Jesus and Love other people more than you love yourself... case closed, have a nice day! The problem is you can't stretch that into an hour every Sunday to keep a positive cash flow!!!
