I am looking for Sabbath keeping Creationists - specifically ones that believe that at the start of day 1 of creation week - the Earth was covered by water, was in darkness, and had no life at all on it.
If that is you - then
1. please go here and view these two posts. #1 #2
2. If you agree with the posts - please reply (don't just add an emoticon) to the first post -- so then add a comment regarding your agreement.
3. Then come back here if you want to discuss the topic or comments you find there. Since this is a safe place for Creationists to post and we can discuss any point we wish without being insulted.
(But be very careful not to reply to atheists there that will then demean or accuse when seeing your comment -- as they can often be demeaning toward creationists when evolution is not spoken of with high praise)
================================ some background info
"The Purpose" of the thread is to create the platform of common ground between theists and creationists on "A-" the starting condition. (Namely that the Earth did exist at one time with absolutely no life on it). And also on "B-" the fact that we now exist on Earth with a wide diversity of life forms.
(We could add "obviously" -- but atheist are a bit wary by this time).
When you reply to the first post saying that you notice the details in it and find that it is stating something that is obvious and easy to follow. (If that is what you think of these two posts) -- you help disabuse the atheist self-talk that says "no details can be seen if they are not convenient to belief in evolution, and no post to that effect would be agreed to by the reader".
We help our atheist friends to embrace reality when we provide evidence of it - even though reality may not flatter some of the self-talk that is piled around belief in the doctrine on origins found in their particular evolution narrative.
