Some christians consider the entire bible to be the literal truth. Most christians read some of the bible as allegory. Those that read genesis as allegory, have no problem with evolution.
Where one draws the line between a literal interpretation and allegory, affects the degree to which science "makes sense".
Of course. And IF AND WHEN it becomes known, fine. My major belief stemming from my monotheism is that I look at the universe and I see that it is designed out of the infinite possible universes to bring forth sentient moral life. Whether this happens with the direct intervention of God, or whether God simply creates the laws of nature and lets them rock and roll, either way it is His doing.
I've pondered these things for decades and I concluded that if there were infinite possible universes then one of them would be able to contact us ! LOL. I found it difficult all my life to believe in a young earth because science and observation clearly indicate billions of years; seemingly. I must say, I simply don't know. I have faith in God's Word and I take the Bible literally, so now I lean towards a younger earth, no matter the age of the universe.
Uh, no, if anything, it started with Christians, which was the faith of those which contributed most to the theory at the start, and probably up to modern times. To be fair though, Darwin did become more agnostic and unsure over the course of his research.
To question creation in Genesis also means questioning the story of Noah and hence the whole Bible. Every word of the Bible is true whether we get it or not.
Why assume that the laws of the multiverse allow for any travel between them? Attempts at it could lead to universe ending catastrophe for all we know.
"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
Which brings up something interesting: that would imply that the universe itself is not necessarily a godly creation, and that not all things that exist were created by god, as per biblical canon.
If it was not a Godly creation then He wouldn't have needed to destroy it when the sons of God came down (giants) and mated with the daughters of men. These same giants that created the buildings that were impossible to have been built by modern man. Of course there are always the odd people that say that modern man DID make them but no one has been able to replicate them even with modern machinery and to those sceptics I would say..
If you are referring to the pyramids and other stuff like that, it has been figured out. The only reason we don't redo the whole process is because it would take a super long time, put people in harm's way, and there aren't enough people that want to. However, in some cases, groups have gotten together to put replicas of ancient buildings together in the "old fashioned" way and been successful.
Ok so what about all the skeletons of the giants discovered times over? Do you want to hide from then like some scientists who fear they have been given wrong data that has given them their status?
Oh, you mean Homo erectus? I find it amazing the variation seen in that species, it far exceeds that of our own. Yes, some of them were quite tall, while others far shorter than the average human. While I wouldn't be shocked if ancient people would have considered those giants, they died out long before the pyramids were built. I am not even sure there were populations endemic to that region.
