The things i learned about GOD from my aquarium.
I buyed the aquarium then i put in sand and stones then i filled it with water and i put a light blub and a water filter and some water plants.Then i buyed 8 fish.
And i looked at my aqurium and i was happy.
And i looked at my fish and i loved them :)
And i sayd to them
Live here and be happy !
But then some of the fish started to fight and harras other fish :( there was food and space for all of them.
And the other fish were just wandering around not doing harm to anythign at all.But the mean fish were just poking all that came in there sight and harrasing the other fish.
So i become upset with the mean fish.I asked myself why are they mean ? Didn't i give them this wonderful aquarium and food and all they need to live and be happy ? So i took the mean fish out from my aquarium and separated them.

What is my point ?

Don't i know how many fishes are in my aquarium ?
And don't i know what each of them is doing ?
Don't i know how many stones are there ?
Or how much sand and plants and water i put in ?
Don't i know how much food my fish need ?
Or don't i know what they need to be happy ?
Can i not turn the light on/off for these fish whenever i want ?
Can't i take the water from them whenever i want ?
Can't i not feed them ?
Or can't i stop the water pump whenever i want ?
Can't i remove the stones and water plants whenever i want ?

Why can i do all that ? Becaouse i have the power to!

So why anyone doubts all that GOD has done and can do ?

Amen ! :crossrc:
wow what a beautiful thought, and very inspirational indeed.

Are you suggesting that the fish can see you? That they are aware that you can control the water temp and the amount of food and that you are the one that keeps their water clean? How would they communicate with you if they had a complaint about something? Could they perhaps be happy and content to swim in the water, without knowing that your the one that gave them that water?

If your not here to learn about God, then what are you doing here? I can not image that anyone would want to come here just to cause trouble.
Sorry John, this is not a forum for you to teach us about your personal version of god, we come here to discuss creation vs. evolution. We may sometimes digress to determine each others concept of god but it is not what we are here for.

Maybe Dimitree talked to some of the fishies and they talked about it amongst themselves for many generations and eventually scratched it on the algae on the side of the tank. I dunno but the idea sounds vaguely familiar.

I did not ask you why you were here, but go ahead and tell us if you want, that is fine. I asked Oddball why he was here. I did not see any need to start up one of those "why are you here" threads, just to find out why one person is here.

But sense you brought it up for conversation. If people are here to discuss creation and evolution, then why do so many of them seem to want to avoid any discussion about creation? Perhaps they are just here to try to push or promote their agenda and that is it. Period the end. Because it looks like there are people here right now that really do not want to discuss creation at all. They only want to talk about evolution. They are only interested in the promotion of their prapaganda.

Of course people can do whatever they want. The problem is when what they want to do is corrupt others with their godless heathen ways. Then christians may have something to say about it. We know God is going to destroy some people in the end, and we went to try to help people to avoid that. In fact many will find destruction but few will find eternal life.

Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. [14] Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

-_- yes the fish CAN see me -_-
And yes the mean fish hide from me becaouse they fear that i will separete them again -_-
And yes when the fish are not feeling well i can see it and yes they can "tell" me what's wrong example is go to the surfa and breath or scratch there bodys in the stones and so on and so on -_-
And yes they are aware that i give them food becaouse when i go near the aquarium they do nothing but if i have something in my heand and strech my heand on the surface they go to the surface and wait for the food -_- and yes they can be happy without knowing that i am around becaouse the two fish that live on the sand flour are like ambulances swiming around like crazy and enjoying the waterflow from the water pump -_-

And NO the point of my post was not MY fish and not My aquarium but "the things that i learned about GOD from my aquarium"

You all guys just play mean and catchy -_-

LOL at off-topic creationist rants. :D

Exactly what part of Creationism do you want us to talk about? The part where we fall to our knees and admit defeat from your unrefutable Bible quotes?

I am happy that you learned about God from your aquarium. Then you decided to share what you learned about God here on this forum. So now we have to deal with the reaction from the skeptics, scoffers and infidels in regards to what you learned about God.

I have two aquariums (3 if you count my quarantine tank) and I haven't learned anything about God from my fish. I dunno, maybe I have the wrong species. :scratch:

Ok guys just imagine that you get yourself an aquarium (earth).You set it up in a place in your room (universe).
You add to it sand(ground) stones(mountins) water plants (nature) and watter (oceans).Then you put a light blub (sun) then you put in a water pump (air).
You put the light On and you start the water pump (the laws that God placed in His creation so things work and exist the way they do ).
Then you put in 8 fishes (humans).
Some of the fish just wander around and enjoy your aquarium(good people).But some of them don't and just wander around to find the next fish to harras (mean people).
So just imagine this...
One 2 or 3 fish open there mouth and say ::
This light blub is there becaouse it was created by gass bla bla and this stone is there becaouse it was formet of earth blabla and this water is here becouse it was formed by bla bla and the water in the aquarium is moveing becaouse of bla bla and the food that comes on the surface is there becaouse i swimed 3 times in a circle....
It's just rediculus o-o The fish can't understand how the blub was created and how did the water get in a glass box they can't even speak.
It's the same with us :)
In the Bible it's sayd that we can't understand the things in Heaven.Lol we can't understand even most of the things that are here o-o...

So my point is that if you think that ALL this exist in such an order just becaouse it acidentaly formed by mixture of molecules and atoms then you are seriusly wrong ._.
That was my point :)

You did a little bit better job of presenting your point this time, then you did the first time.

So you have fallen for the argument from incredulity, Did you think that english speaking people were gods before you understood their language? I suggest that you reevaluate your experiences and consider that there may be more to be learned before you ascribe all to a deity.

When God shows us something, why do we need to reevaluate it? God is more trustworthy than man is. Why should we ignore Him?
