Very simple question: How did we get our moon?

Your 'very simple' question implies a demand for a 'very simple' answer.

Perhaps you need to work on your question.

Sorry you can't come up with one.
How intellectually honest is that statement? Where did I state that I could not provide one?

And you have already stated that you would disregard any answer. Why would I bother to provide one?

And if you do not understand basic concepts such as 'falsifiable' how on earth (pun intended) will you make sense of comprehensive answers involving scientific hypotheses?
If you're an evolutionist, like you'd probably like me to think you are, you should at least have 1 idea out of 6.
Are we talking biology or cosmology?^_^
The more I converse with you guys, the weaker you guys come across to me as being some kind of strong evolutionist.
"You guys"? Who are you lumping me in with?
I personally think most of you guys are evolutionist in name only.
How many ways are there to be an evolutionist?:scratch:

Looking at my interests and my posting history here, I wouldn't call myself an evolutionist. However, as scientific theories go, it does appear to address all of the data to date.

Into what?

<snip rant>

Don't tell me what you guys believe is "science" and what we believe is "religion" and expect us to believe it.

So, we get an idea of what you think "science" is....

What is "religion"?

Why do you think it is... better?

Why? Will my answer somehow negate the fact that in this thread alone there are three separate answers by three different creationists?

Clearly because all three are dead wrong.

Once we see that science supports what Genesis says, these creationist "hypothesis" are to be dismissed.

But the important thing is that what God "wrote" in Genesis will now last forever because it is TRUE.

Either we are all scientists or we are all religious. :D

Either we are all scientists or we are all religious. :D

Why?

Either we ALL will accept the Truth when the facts confront us, or we won't

When I show that there actually were SEVEN durations of time according to the bible writers AND the present science community, why would we deny that is true????

When I say that science states to students the same idea that the preacher does, why do we need to be one or the other???

The fact remains that AV's complaint about science having different plausible scenarios for the creation of the moon is inane when the religious, including those within Christianity, or even those within a specific sect of it, can't even agree on it, either.

looking out the windows of my office, i see no moon.

There is one week every month called the New Moon, when it is it in the day, not the night.

But do you see what is written in Genesis as actually conforming with science???



1) But we both agree that there was a Big Bang beginning, 13.5 billion years ago,... right???

2) And we agree that since then, there have been seven long "days" we now call Eras, right?

3) Plus, we both recognize that visible light did not appear, initially, at the Big Bang because the universe was too hot.
So God waited before he said, Let there be light.

4) And, it is true, scientifically, once All the waters under heaven were collected into one place and Pangea/Rodinia appeared.

5) We know that the Plant kingdom was established before the Animal kingdom because free Oxygen did not collect on earth until 2 billion years after its formation.

The KJ interpreters translated the word into whales, but it doesn't necessary mean what we know as whales.
Genesis 1:21a [AV1389 Wycliffe] And God made of nought great whales,

So did the Wycliffe translators.

Is everyone wrong but your translators?

It isn't that I am making this my idea, but merely sorting thru the facts and choosing to see them dovetail together scientifically where ever possible.


The Strong Concordance says "whales" mean dinosaurs, and that fits with the fifth day or Mesozoic Era.

So why not?
Why NOT choose the meaning suggested by these experts that fit what is TRUE???
