Where did life begin? (Merged)

[Orange_Crush]

If nothing else, I have that I suppose.

And what else do you need?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Are you asking if there's a first first cause in a series of parallel causal chains?

Isn't this objection tantamount to asking what came before the being that has no beginning?

How do we know God has no beginning?

[Wafflestomper]

How do we know God exists?

Fixed that for you.

 

[BigO95]

Agreed.
All 3 sucked.
But the truth is out there and the Truth will set you free

Indeed, follow truth wherever it may lead.

Is it safe to assume that God was drunk when he created Bama fans? Only logical explanation.

He needed unlovable objects to show His grace.

I simply believe the Biblical account of Genesis as written in the KJV. Roughly 6000 years ago an Eternal God we know as Jesus Christ now, spoke the world into existence.
I believe it was six literal days without a gap or evolution needed to assist with the supernatural event.

Based on what scripture did 6000 years come from?

How can you possibly believe the earth is only 6000 years old? Do you believe dinosaurs existed?

Yes dinosaurs existed, how can you possibly believe that the Earth is billions of years old?
I have a great history book that teaches it.

Study geneologies and historical references.

And when scientists date human remains to 300,000 years ago?

 

[Orange Alert]

I read a quote one time that always stuck with me: "Modern science operates on the basis of 'give us one free miracle and we'll explain the rest'".

They should reevaluate their dating process. It is grossly incorrect.

I respect your faith in the book, I can't understand it but respect it.

I think something being FIRST ought to say enough.
Nothing causes nothing, which doesn't really cause nothing because if nothing could cause nothing, it would be something.

Meme much?

 

[Roustabout]

Study geneologies and historical references.

In other words, read your presuppositions into the text.

The genealogies were never intended as a dating method for the earth. Exegete much?

 

[Wafflestomper]

I read a quote one time that always stuck with me: "Modern science operates on the basis of 'give us one free miracle and we'll explain the rest'".

The person who said that also claimed that the psilocybin mushroom "is the megaphone used by an alien, intergalactic Other to communicate with mankind."

Religion and the democratic party have a lot in common then.

Nothing causes nothing, which doesn't really cause nothing because if nothing could cause nothing, it would be something.

You're conflating a first first cause with a first cause in a causal chain. I'm not claiming that one of these causes came before any other non-contingent causes.

These first causes could themselves be uncaused and have no beginning.

The theory of carbon dating throws out crazy numbers. For example a living seal was dated to be 20,000 years old that's ridiculous.

Dear friend there are plenty of scientists who believe the Bible to be the word of God.

 

[BigO95]

And the theory of dating according to the geologic column is circular reasoning.
