An expanding universe.Would it be possible for you to show some science that AGREES with the Bible?
If he's a deceptive god, he's yours, not mine.so then your just left with a deceptive god.
I don't date fossils --- that's not my calling. I just agree with you guys, when you date them.I ask you again, fourth time now:
HOW DO YOU DATE SUCH A FOSSIL???
Would it be possible for you to show some science that AGREES with the Bible?
And the verse that says 'expanding universe' please.An expanding universe.
I was born ignorant, and I'll die ignorant.An independent thinker, of course, but wilfully ignorant, by your own admission.
Chuck Missler identifies 14 of them.And the verse that says 'expanding universe' please.
Psalm 104:2 said:Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
Isaiah 40:22 said:It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
AV1611VET said:If Gosse came to our church and started spreading that Omphalos stuff, and refused to stop, he'd find himself escorted out.
And I would hold the door open.
And the verse that says 'expanding universe' please.

The entry in the BDB lexicon specifically states that the meaning of raquiya is an "extended surface" and a "(solid) expanse (as if beaten out)." That makes it quite clear that we have correctly derived the meaning of the word and that it does mean a solid material that has been breaten out or spread out into an "expanse" to form the heaven above the biblical earth. The second definition in the entry further confirms our understanding that the biblical firmament is a solid structure in the form of a vault—like an upsidedown howl—that supports. or holds back, the waters above it.
KB confirms that interpretation and defines raqyia' as follows: "the beaten metal plate, or bow; firmament, the firm vault of heaven...." This lexicon also equates the firmament with the Latin firmamentum and with the Greek stereoma. An etymological dictionary of the Hebrew language provides the fallowing definition of raqiya' :"1 extended surface, expanse. 2 firmament. sky. [From raqa' ; lit. 'something beaten out]'
These references thus confirm that raqiya' has the literal meaning of something "beaten out"such as a piece of metal that has been beaten out into a sheet or plate. If one continues hammering a metal plate on one side repeatedly, the plate will gradually turn into a bowl. That, in fact. was how metalworkers in some early cultures made metal bowls and is how some metalworkers still make them.
From here, p 84
I'm not an 'ancient Hebrew', Mike --- I'm a 21st Century man.The ancient Hebrews admired the night sky (an uncommon site for us city dwellers these days) so much, they imagined God had beaten it out from a sheet of silver or other metal:-
God does not mean what the original authors wrote - God means what AV thinks it means.
If you found a fossil and dated it as 10,000 years old, I won't dispute it.
What I will dispute, is saying the plant or animal or man that belonged to that fossil lived 10,000 years ago.
This is where I would leave the realm of science and switch over to the realm of faith, as I would have to violate the Prime Directive by agreeing with what a machine is telling me.
And I won't do that --- no how, no way, no thanks.
I like what C.I. Scofield said in his introduction to the book of Revelation:And thus able to retrofit things in the Bible to quite a few more things than people from other centuries!
Until the advent of television, no one could figure out how the Antichrist would be seen all over the world at once.Doubtless much which is designedly obscure to us will be clear to those for whom it was written as the time approaches.
