I support this statement, while I'm not in 100% agreement, I like the direction this is going.That is correct based on what I know as well. My philosophy professor in college studied the Bible in it's original languages. There is no reference to any sort of fire and brimstone Hell actually existing in the original text. Several terms are used, including Sheol and Gehenna. The whole idea of Hell, as a place where sinners go and are punished for eternity, came about later on.
I don't want to really get in on the argument... but I don't think that it has to be one way or the other. Why not believe that God set up the Universe so that evolution was the means used to create man and other species? If you choose to believe in God that doesn't rule out evolution. The Bible was written so anyone could understand it, even if you are a devout believer you must understand that much -- some "nitty gritty" details may have simply been left out to make it understandable to the masses. Anyone here think that 2000 years ago people would understand DNA mutations?
Anyway... I'm out. These things always get nasty and/or go on forever in a circular fashion //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
To become more well rounded and try an understand more views in order to find the real truth. I don't believe in Chritianity, but grew up in a catholic school and have read the bible. Also you can't effectively argue against someones point, if you haven't even read someones point. your thought process is like wearing blinders and nothing good ever comes from that, but I would defend your right to say whatever garbage you want to though, so carry on.why would i read a book about a topic i disagree with?
exactly requirement of religion....not of the bible itselfWhat i said had nothing to do with your personal beliefs, again another r-tarded mistake on your part.
Nonetheless, faith, being a basic requirement of all religions, by definition is a belief not based on proof.
if it could be proven one way or another, it wouldn't be faith and it wouldn't be religion.
I have a few but im waiting for links proving the bible is better used as a door stopbtw i would like some links proving that you are not a r-tard.
exactly requirement of religion....not of the bible itselfthe bible has documented accuractely historical people, places and events doesn't prove it 100% but it goes towards its credibility...you can believe in the bible on that basis and not on the religious aspect
slamming it because it's outlandish proves you're the "r-tard"
Corrected.
Yep. This guy's officially an r-tard. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gifexactly requirement of religion....not of the bible itselfthe bible has documented accuractely historical people, places and events doesn't prove it 100% but it goes towards its credibility...you can believe in the bible on that basis and not on the religious aspect

What are you talking about, I don't see any LARGE, GAPING, UNAVOIDABLE, COMMON SENSE TYPE HOLES in that logic.The most conservative estimate on the beginning of bacteria on the planet is 2.5 billion years ago, but let's pretend bacteria started when christians think god made the earth (lol), so 6000 years ago. Bacteria are known to double in population as fast as every 9.8 minutes. But let's pretend the first bacteria were slow bacteria and took 98 minutes to double in population. Let's also pretend that this slow reproducing bacteria is of the smallest variety of bacteria, only .5 micrometers long or 5 x 10^-7 meters (an electron is 10^-15 meters long).
So that gives us 3.217 x 10^7 doublings of bacteria population, or 2^32170000 (compared to the roughly 1250 doublings of human population in 2 million years).
Unfortunately my computer can't process how many bacteria that leaves us with. It is a lot more than the number of humans suggested in the first post though.
We have a problem though. The universe (let alone the earth) is only so big, and can only hold so many bacteria. There are an estimated 10^80 subatomic particles in our universe, total. If every inch of space in the universe was packed with subatomic particles, there would be room for less than 10^100 of them. But these subatomic particles are 10,000,000 times smaller than our smallest bacteria. So let's pretend that our tiny bacteria shrink to 1/10,000,000 their size, so that 10^100 of them will just barely fit into our entire universe.
Unfortunately, this only allows for 332 doublings of population (compared with the 32 million doublings that would occur in 6000 years). Well these doublings of population occur every 98 minutes, but for the sake of jesus science, let's say they occur every 980 minutes.
Uh oh. Those 332 doublings, enough to fill the entire universe brim to brim with unbelievably shrunken bacteria, would only take 225 days!
What does this tell us?
THE WORLD MUST BE LESS THAN 225 DAYS OLD, BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE NUMBER OF SHRUNKEN BACTERIA THAT WOULD FIT INTO OUR UNIVERSE.
