That doesn't answer my question, chief.There are countless myths that can be reinterpreted.
Abusing the Bible does not help you.
Sure it did, Genghis.That doesn't answer my question, chief.
I am sorry, do you speak for Subduction, did I ask him or you the question?Because NOBODY KNOWS
You think Subduction will give you a different answer? Anyway, this is an open forum, anyone may post--even those who won't play into your puerile attempt at a rhetorical trap.I am sorry, do you speak for Subduction, did I ask him or you the question?
Yes.You think Subduction will give you a different answer?
Okay.Why? He already gave the same answer as I did (post #52) ...
Yes, well, so far he has given a number of different answers, such as this one...You think Subduction will give you a different answer?
When was roughly 13.8 billion years ago, at least that was when the universe as we know it began. I could link you to the work of physicists, but what they do is to measure how fast various galaxies are retreating from us and work backwards. To appreciate the answer you might need to learn quite a bit of basic science first.
Where, when and how did space, matter, energy and time come into existence and in what sequence, using empirical evidence for your answer?
In what would become to be known as day one, He created the heavens and the earth and furnished light from Himself to temporarily set up day and night until earth and the sun were created.
Yes, you demonstrated that you had no rational reason for your beliefs in the OP. You are demonstrably wrong, but do not seem to be interested in learning why.
Sorry, but then you are merely repeating an error. If you don't mind being corrected every time that you make that mistake feel free.
Nobody knows. All science has at this point is speculation. But you don't know, either--so we're all in the same boat. Some of us think God brought it all about ex nihilo (though I'm more of an ex materia man myself) But nobody knows exactly what happened.
That's what we have been trying to tell you, but you seem to be looking for some other answer.Yes, well, so far he has given a number of different answers, such as this one...
To this question.
It had previously been clearly stated, "in the beginning", do you see an answer to that question as it was asked? Nothing more required than, not known, so why try to deflect and avoid the question? Could it be because "belief" does not go with science when one is scoffing at "belief" and trying to pass off unknowns as science?
Even science admits...
"It's one of several scientific models that attempts to explain why the universe is the way it is. The theory makes several predictions, many of which have been proven through observational data. As a result, it's the most popular and accepted theory regarding our universe's development."
"models...attempts...several...most popular...theory"
Which means there are other "theories" coming from the scientific community, BB is the most popular one but it does not claim to be a provable fact, does it?
In addition, it only attempts to explain the "universe's development" not its beginning which my question clearly stated, is that correct?
Because shortly after the Big Bang is as far as the scientific method can take us right now. Demanding answers that do not exist will not get you anywhere.
It's not an "admission," it's a given, a well-known fact about our present understanding of cosmology. You are the one who is failing the "trust" test here.Then why not make that admission at the very beginning rather than try to deflect with ludicrous "answers" to the question that I asked? BTW, can you quote me ever "demanding" answers to my questions? If not, was that a false accusation?
You don't appear to like the answers.

Because you believe it is saying a 6'3½" invisible rabbit did it?Would you like to learn why we know that Genesis is mythical?
I love this and I have heard it at least 1701 times, more or less. I even tried it on a class instructor once when I was given a failing grade on a test. I asked him why and his response was that I did not answer the questions, to which I responded, I answered the questions, you just did not like the answers and his response was, you are correct, I did not like your answers...and you still failed the test.
It seems to me that it would be much more credible if one would quote the question asked, then quote their answer for the question which would prove what they claim is true, would it not?
Just try to ask proper questions in the future.Of course, that would have the opposite effect if there really was no answer as the question was asked, would you agree?
Just as valid as your belief.Because you believe it is saying a 6'3½" invisible rabbit did it?
No, I can demonstrate that empirical laws exist. I doubt if you can demonstrate that any of your beliefs exist.
