I found myself being curious about it. then God spoke and said clealry, 'If you get too deep into it you may be driven astry, Just believe what I say"Just believe what God says happened. Thats the problem everyone wants to know why, why, why, why, Just believe what God says. |

And one thing people should NEVER experience is curiosity... I remember being gathered around these two people that got deep into the beginning of the earth. I found myself being curious about it.
Shame on you. Just because God gave you a brain doesn't mean you were supposed to use it there. No wonder you got curious. then God spoke and said clealry, 'If you get too deep into it you may be driven astry, Just believe what I say"
Mind if I ask what God's voice sounds like? Is he a tenor? A baritone? Does he have that cool echo effect like in the movies? Just believe what God says happened. Thats the problem everyone wants to know why, why, why, why, Just believe what God says.
Well, you heard it from God himself: "Shut your mouth and do as you're told."
Of course, now we understand that we need to take this unwritten dogma a bit further. Perhaps I should rephrase it to "shut your mind"?

It's more likely those rocks were once at the bottom of a sea or lake and were later uplifted to the top of your "hill" by tectonic forces. |

Of course he did! Do you think it's coincidence that the forbidden fruit came from the Tree of KNOWLEDGE? |

About the flood, I recon God must have done a fair bit of supernatural stuff, or else it seems difficult (yet not impossible) that Noah and his family could feed all those animals, it wouldn't be the 1st time and certainly not the last time God performed miracles, remember when Jesus fed the 5000 people.
