Generally speaking, what percentage of earth's population (approx 7.5 billion people) would believe that God literally created Earth and man from nothing in the course of 6 days, and that it happened less than 10,000 years ago? I find this quite fascinating that someone could believe this so I'm curious as to whether we are talking about an infinitesimal amount of people that would truly believe this or a good portion?
What does it matter "how many" believe anything?
The truth is not a democracy. There is no sense in basing what you believe on "how many others" believe the scenario.
Also, if you believe that the earth was created less than 6,000 years ago, and was created by god from nothing, do you then believe that every single science related phenomenon, concept, or fact, and everyone that has spoken of them, is wrong and its all just a completely made up story.
Well, of course not. It would be absurd to say that:
"every single science related phenomenon, concept, or fact, and everyone that has spoken of them, is wrong"
What I do believe is that the Bible is far far more certain of a source of history for the beginning of our universe. Remember, every bit of "truth" or every "theory" from before recorded history is assumption, guesswork and extrapolation of tiny bits of information into grandiose stories that are presented as solid truth. I would never bet my soul on such "science".
I will trust my soul on the word of God, however.
So, if "science" is not observable, testable and repeatable, I'll go with God's word.
The way I see it is, God is totally capable of doing it just as the Bible says. Why would I need to create any other method that is not mentioned. Even when Christ was talking about the life we will have everlasting, He punctuated by saying "if it was not so, I would have told you".
Do you not think He would have done the same of the events of creation?
Do you believe every piece of information regarding dinosaurs is just a lie?
I think the dinosaurs were alive at the same time man was. I believe that the atmosphere was much different then. It had a higher barometric pressure and higher oxygen level. In this atmosphere, these giants survived as did the large quantity of plant life they would have needed. When the barometric pressure dropped and the O2 level as well, they died off as it was not livable for them. Check the proof in the air bubbles in amber resin, found from this time period.
Check the scripture talking about behemoth and leviathan. Tell me, is the description of behemoth not the perfect description of a brontosaurus?
Yet people, even Christians, cannot gather enough faith in their God, compared to the wisdom of men, to believe.
Do you believe that Stephen Hawking, Neil Degrasse Tyson and billions of other people are delusional?
Absolutely not. Neil Degrasse Tyson is a victim of the academia that fills the students heads with atheistic views and condemns anyone who does not follow with the set status quo of these topics.
Stephen Hawking is a brilliant man, yet, we are not even certain if the things we are told that he is saying are his own words anymore.
I know, tinfoil hat statement. However, at this point in time, anything is possible.
As for the billions of other people. Again, products of our academic system, the world over. Just watch how much flak I will get for this post. Now, imagine being a student in a high school or university and attempting to disagree with the "solid fact hoaxes and theories" they are being brainwashed with.
Other billions of people don't even give it a thought. They could care less. They are too worried about winning a lottery or making it check to check, feeding their kids, finding a relationship, who's winning the football game, getting custody of their kids and other things life demands.
They could care less what the bible, Neil or Steven believe. Or me.
