Go ask the creator and see if you are right.
The reference to " little girl" is disrespectful
to all women.
The reference to god having to " control and subdue" the earth ie tinker with it as if its a balky
old british sportscar is grossly disrespectful to an supposed omnipotent being who could set it up to run on
its own without constant meddling.

Yes, indeed. :(

But I pray both she and Aron Ra respond to the Light before it's too late.

Yes that is true, but looks like when given a hold science is good at hardening hearts and science knowledge will not be of much use at the great white throne. But by then it is too late.

There is no reference to God having to control and subdue the earth.

If this is what you are trying to quote, this is God telling them.
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

If there is a creator, which I doubt, then the OP has asked the creator, via a careful study of creation. No need to rely on faith when one can test ideas against reality.

Go tell me exactly how i paint my painting by testing them, then we will see if you are right.

I don't understand your analogy. I don't grasp what the painting is meant to represent, nor what you mean by testing "them", the painting? Please help me understand how your response maps onto my observation.

What have you got to offer? Faith in Christ is supposed to be sufficient for salvation, is it not? Why should I have to believe something about the Bible that I find rather silly in addition?

The painting represents something that has been created by a creator. Are you saying the earth, etc.. has not been created.

I don't think the Earth etc, was created, but if it was then the following would apply. The young woman you dismiss as a "silly girl on youtube", or something similar, has examined that creation, carefully and logically, and extracted understanding from it. You seem to deny that your creator could leave information about the nature of that creation and its history within the creation. Have I misunderstood your intent.

Faith in Jesus does give Eternal Life. You are not required to believe The creation account in The Bible, but what you did with God's word, will be more than likely part of the judgement at the Bema for believers. So if you are bearing a false witness against God's word while on earth, that will be judged.

Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.

That kind of puts me in a bind, because I think you are the one doing that.

Why should the question even come up?.
-

So if sciences method of testing gives true information. Use this testing to test something that without a doubt a conclusion can be given and the creator of the object tested. Can confirm whether the testing method gives true results.

If I have misrepresented your you would have my sincere apologies. However, if you go to post #71 you will see this, posted by yourself: "Better than relying on some little girl on youtube spouting nonsense."

I shall be happy to share with you how I came to this belief once two things occur:
You explain which belief you are referring to so that I may properly address it.
You have the courtesy to answer my question concerning your attitude to extracting information from a creation by a careful study of aspects of that creation.

I look forward to your reply.

So for you, me saying a little girl is speaking nonsense. Is the same as calling the same person a silly girl, if you want to look at that way fine with me.

In my post (213) to your reply i placed in bold what my question was addressing "I don't think the Earth etc, was created,"

As for your question
concerning your attitude to extracting information from a creation by a careful study of aspects of that creation.

My attitude is, if this method is true and accurate. Then test this method on something where a undeniable conclusion can be seen and not on something that is claimed to have happened billions of years ago. Where no one who is presently doing this testing was around. That method may be believable and acceptable to you, but for me it is not worth a second thought.

You certainly are vengeful. You seem to take great joy in humanity's coming judgment. Sadly, that tells me all that I need to know about certain segments of Christianity.
