Marcia, the key term is "like" not IS. There is billions of years before us humans stepped onto this vast world. Not thousands, even. Cause even according to that, god would have created everything in a 7,000 year span.
Like i said before, the greeks believed in gods and other responsible for rains, thunder and other phenenom at the time. That no one could explain on how it worked, in those times either. The futher in time you look the more bizarre and unrealistic the stories of those times gets.
What had NOT happened in the last 1,000 years after christ died..
The fact that no other man has been able to "part" a vast body of water, such as the red sea.
No one else can "walk" on water.
The "virgin" mary. What real proof was there that she was a virgin? Even so, it could have been considered something else in modern times. People Have seen this occur in snakes in rare occasions. A Female that never seen a male in its life laying fertile eggs, that hatch into live young. For the virgin mary to magically become pregnant, jesus would have the exact same dna as only mary and would be technically a clone....
Since you yourself marcia said "God is the alpha and the omega (infinite)" Therefore, he is incapable of possesing his own unique human dna. To me your answer, is a generic answer. The reason begin is that its vauge, it covers every possible base imaginable. So, That people just get confused and
shut up about it.
I still wonder why no one can answer why that little book of all these people communicating with god, never mentioned this large continent over here....... covered all the eastern lands if i recall and it was not like North and south america sprang up in the last 2,000 years......
IT's being proven that the South Americans Were possibly Early egyptians who had mastered boats, which is shown to have been used also in egyptian times. The old orginal step pyramid in the oldest part of giza, is like the step pyramids in southern america. There is also belief, that maybe they learned how to fly... This explains the art only visable from way up. A Group of people recreated a hot air balloon, using nothing but a campfire and animal skins for a balloon. Both Of these groups of people, believed in gods in the "heavens" too...
Creationist all the time talk about "Show us proof of evolution!" when proof is found in the grounds millions of years before we decided to slap highrise apartment complexes over them and charge 2,000$ a room for them.
When can any creationist prove anything, thats sounds like a tall tale, thats found in the bible? They cant every time its asked, "The book should be considered proof itself".
Does anyone else recall when the bible was actaully re-written from the
gospel so that it could be translated into other languages? No one can..... The greeks translated it from the gospels, They even had a
hard time translating it from the gospels. Here fell the common belief that christ was white and spoke latin. Even now there is debate over the language, but more people are finding out that aramaic was the language of jesus. Which is really odd if you ask me, With all this suposed documentation and everything else. Jesus's color was never known, nor was the language in which he spoke. Even now people are debating and arguing over these facts........
Evolution, i know will be proven in our human lifetime. This is not a belief of mine, this is a prediction. Science all the time is finding out how we came to and will use this on mars.
There is the theory on how the oxygen levels, rose enough to bring in this generation of life. Metorite Crashes, splitting the continents the resulting sulfer oxygenated the air and
evolution repeated itself once again. There is tons of proof that certain animals surivived the dinosaur period. Tons of deep sea bactera date way back too.
As, i said before i'm done debating this, People will always believe in what they want to belive.
