Life on Earth is in a constant state of change. New species rise, grow and adapt, while old species die out and go extinct. This planet has had five such extinction events in its past, and is currently in the middle of the sixth, arguably caused by... us.
False human knowledge.The entire universe is ever-growing and changing. Stars, solar systems, entire galaxies, trillions in number, of which we are but the tiniest most insignificant speck in the biggest of all big pictures, are at this moment, being born, forming, going through predictable life cycles, and fizzling out on a time scale one would need a scientific calculator to even get a grip on..
The result of man's choices; there is free will you know.Eden, The Flood, Babel... God's hopping from one foot to the next, slapping quick fixes on problems that an office temp would've seen coming a mile away.
In what way? Helium has a lower density than the surrounding air, so the balloon is pushed up by the air as the air tries to displace the balloons original position. I'm pretty sure the original question was to why there is a "preference" for low dense things to "favor" higher altitudes, and high dense things to "favor" lower altitudes. My answer was to that point when disregarding "gravity", or did you miss that?Weren't you stumbling with explaining helium balloons not too long ago?
You are too far gone. Even the enemies of the Messiah did not deny his miracles.He didn't; it was poetic license. Easy.
This is not about its "necessity" but its truthfulness. Christianity is not just the new testament, it includes the old testament as well; including creation. The Messiah's coming is a fulfillment of many old testament prophesies, and he himself confirms the truthfulness of the old testament. Furthermore, without the resurrection of the Messiah, there would be no Christianity, so the resurrection is "necessary". Then use today's "knowledge" to explain it.1. Neither of these miracle stories are *necessary* to the basic theological conclusions of Christianity. Christianity could be completely true even if these were not.
My point is the inability for human "knowledge" to explain any miracle. So why use this knowledge to explain creation? Just because you didn't see it yourself, don't think it didn't happen, especially when many confirm its occurrence. Do you think the Israelites, or the Jews are mistaken when they say their ancestors walked on dry land through the Red Sea? I think the existence of the nation of Israel is enough reason to think the miracles actually happened. How about the faith of the many Christians insisting on the resurrection of the Messiah. Is that not enough reason? The empty tomb?To reiterate: We have no need to explain every miraculous or supernatural claim in the bible or any other scripture, especially when there is no reason to think that they actually happened as written.
