Even so if God created the stars on that day, then the speed of light would have to be even greater!

Like I said before, there is no time distiction between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2.

Every star is made up of hydrogen. Under intense pressure (and, respectively, heat) hydrogen atoms will fuse together to form Helium. This produces an imense amount of energy and heat (it's a wonder why: no matter is lost in the fusion). The sun is the ultamite fusion reactor.
No, the sun wouldn't expand as you go backward in time (or shrink as time goes on), unless the materials become more dense (like lead, iron, gold, etc.) Then, it might go down slightly, before the expansion of the supernova.

But I don't believe that God created the world with fossils and bones. "The earth was formless AND VOID" There was nothing on the earth at its creation, which meant that the scars, the animals, the fossils, must have been real. The age of the rocks themselves, however, might be younger than they really are. Remember, God can do anything. He can make a young earth look old without lieing.

Thank you. I needed that encouragement.
In answer to your question, creationism must be true simply because if it isn't, then the Bible could be counted false (if this is false, why can't that be too?), and if the Bible is false, then we have no hope of salvation. If I have no hope of salvation, then what's the point of life?

If it was written by a scientist, then yes. I respect (as Verne says) lerned people.
Right now, I'm reading up on Fusion. I was pretty sure that no matter was lost, but I'll soon find out.... Okay, matter is lost. That is accountable for the energy gained.

True, true. But, if you use carbon because of the outer shell, why not use another element of the same group, like silicon (although not a very carbon-based life from life-giving element)? It would have roughly the same chemical properties, just an extra 'shell' of electrons.
By the way, I'm playing both sides of the equation. If I simply play the creationist side, people will call me ignroant and stupid. So, I make sure that although it supports my theory, that I've thought of other explinations.

I don't think I know the whole truth. That's why I joined this. I want to know what others think. I want to weigh the ideas against eachother. I think salvation is based on our hearts, and not if we've broken x amount of laws.

Probably, but all of my respect of him would have been lost when I found out the truth. I don't respect liers.

I follow what I believe to be in the Bible. I have had enough experiances to trust God to tell me what he means by certain aspects/versus of the Bible when I need them.
By the way, for HTML, you need to use the 'greater-than' or 'lesser-than' symbols, or the effect isn't made. < u > (spaces not included) will produce an underlined word, [u] will not.

No human could ever invent the idea of my God.

"which Christian deity is it who is to be served by lies and deception?"
None. My God cannot be served by lies. God (and please, when you're talking about Him, capitolize His name. He's not some polytheistic god who's effectiveness is smaller than a blade of grass) is awesome and powerful. He deserves the truth (He knows it all already, there's no point in trying to lie) and all glory.

I like studying the Bible for myself.
In HTML, it's the 'greater-than' and 'lesser-than' symbols.

"what you need is a model that explains what is seen even better than the conventional model. "Do not test the Lord your God..." Deut. 6:16. The truth is, I can't prove that Creation happened. I can't prove anything in the Bible is true. I can't do this any more than you can prove that evolution is true. Nobody can prove anything happened billions, millions, or even tens of thousands of years ago. We can't because we weren't there. We haven't experianced anything. Although evolution isn't considered a religion, I feel it is. Religion is defined as 'a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects' (Religion Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com). Evolutionists believe that we evolved from a differant species just as much as creationists believe we were created. To put it truthfully, I had made this topic to 'Dicuss' the evidence that 'supports' creationism, not proves it. You can't prove evolution, and I can't prove creation. We're stuck with two unprovable topics, and we're fighting over them! What's the point? You say 'a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, and k are true, giving lots of evidence to my cause, now prove yours.' I say, 'I can say that q, r, and s might be true, but I still believe that my cause is right.' You say, 'you didn't prove yours.' But, you never proved yours either. Neither of us can prove our cause because they are unprovable.
