Hmmmm......not so sure about that. Why do you think it us that ALL religions like to get 'em young...?
Remember the old Catholic aphorism......'give us the boy and we'll show you the man...'
Yes possibly.
But I do not really think he hides himself, he just transforms himself into "tasty forms" for mankind.
What I mean is he makes whatever mankind enjoys as pleasurable, appealing, and available quickly. Such as sexual immorality, lust, power, pride, wealth, great sounding teachers (but false ones), cool books, movies, games, that have violence, magic, etc. in them.
People just don't realize it, I have been guilty of the same. The point is Satan just makes himself look good and God like a lying, tricky, decietful, unloving being, when in fact its the other way around.
No one can say he does a bad job of it. His reputation of having a silver tongue has some backing in reality, it seems.
Of course, he does a great job, thats why many choose his way and not Jesus's way.
But! Thank God he will be bound forever soon, amen.
Soon by god standards or human standards. Because god probably views within the next 100 years as soon, while I view within the next two weeks as soon.
NASA OSS: Europa-Another Water World
"Europa is composed of silicate rock and probably has an iron core..........it has a tenuous atmosphere comprised primarily of oxygen....
Jet Propulsion Laboratory | News
"NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has observed water vapor above the frigid south polar region of Jupiter's moon Europa, providing the first strong evidence of water plumes erupting off the moon's surface.
Previous scientific findings from other sources already point to the existence of an ocean located under Europa's icy crust. Researchers are not yet fully certain whether the detected water vapor is generated by erupting water plumes on the surface, but they are confident this is the most likely explanation."
You were saying....?
Whether you want to call it one literal day or a random other period of time, the problem remains that the order of creation according to Genesis does not conform to the order in which organisms appear in the fossil record.
And you're straining awfully hard to make the Genesis account fit the fossil record. If you have to make up a bunch of parts that were somehow not mentioned in the bible, that should be a an indication that you are on shaky ground. Not that the idea of extra-biblically continuous creation helps you at all. The Bible clearly says that all sea creature and the birds were created on the same day. Are you going to make the claim that when the Bible says all sea creatures and the birds were created on the same day, it actually means just the fish were created on that day and the birds and all the other "great creatures of the sea" were actually not made that day? That's not just making up extra creation events, that's saying that the words actually written in the Bible are inaccurate.
No matter how much you try to twist the words you cling to they do not produce a description of the pattern actually seen in the fossil record. How do you reconcile the fact that the bible claims fish and birds were created at the same time before the appearance of land animals with the fact that birds show up much later than fish in the fossil record and only well after land animals appear?
God is outside of time, He doesn't exist by time.
Then it is impossible for it to interact with anything in this universe.....
Allow me to make a friendly modification, so people can't pick on you.
God can be outside of time. His existence is not limited by time.
Rubbish......your post said NOTHING about the "surface"....
Sorry, I don't know that you do not understand.
We live on the earth. Do I have to say that we live in the air of the earth's solid surface? Should I assume that you understand the air and the solid ground?
I do know some schools have a sort of course which mixed students of all years in one class. In that case, one has to teach any subject from a 100 level, even a bunch of seniors also sit in the class.
Great, can we go back to the topic now? Why are there no cows in the Devonian?
My idea is that creation is a process and life forms are created in sequence. Basically, that is an answer to your question. I understand the details still need to be worked out. But that is a technical problem.

According to the Bible, everything was created during creation week, from bacteria to humans, some 6,000 years ago.
Some here want to squeeze the entire fossil record into this timeline (of 6,000 years). My question is simple then, why don't we find fossil cows in Devonian strata?
To elaborate further, why is are there different communities of organisms in every strata and none of them correspond to what was created on creation week, except the most recent ones? Why are there dozens of layers below the more recent ones with many groups that are missing?
Your logic:
Question: Why are there no cows in the devonian?
Answer: Creation is a process and life forms are created in sequence.
See how that doesn't come even close to answering the question? Genesis and the fossil record have organisms appearing in a different order, so, which sequence is wrong? The one in Genesis or the one in the fossil record?
