Re: Creation
If we assumed nature was the same you might have a point. Too bad you need a reason to do so. Got any?

Re: Creation
What makes your stubborn insistence on your belief any more of a sure thing than ringos "hunches"? He has evidence on his side whereas you are simply betting on belief and an inerrant Bible. Granted your argument presupposes that things were different in earlier times where he sees no reason to assume this.

You still have it backwards. If you claim that the sun will rise in the west tomorrow, YOU are the one who needs a reason. If you claim that there was a "change in nature", YOU are the one who needs a reason. Nobody is going to take YOU seriously unless YOU can provide a reason for YOUR silly claims.

And our geese will blot out the sun.

You are manufacturing your own definitions of Hebrew words.
The Hebrew word in Genesis 10:25 says the land not people were divided.
What you are doing is taking what someone has said the Hebrew words means instead of looking them up for yourself.

There's no point in trying to discuss Hebrew with you when you're so confused about English.
I have always been confused about English but I have never been confused about Biblical Hebrew.
ringo writes:
We already know that YOU don't know what you're talking about.
Then you should have no problem with taking the two Hebrew words being discussed in Message 1203 and show me how they mean the same thing when they are spelled different, and one of them is only used 4 times in the Bible.
If you can't do that then you are the one who does not know what they are typing about.

Re: Creation
As much as you may chose to believe his hunches, he has NO evidence of any same nature in the past.
When it comes to beliefs about creation, I suppose I expect so called believers of the bible to side with creation. Otherwise I know they are impostors.

I did say Genesis 1 to 2.2
my meaning was if this isn't a future prologue why does it mention the creation of man and woman?
and if there is only one God why state in our image?
I don't understand were your going with your last statement 2.4 to 4.24 origin of the universe?

the first will be the last and the last will be the first.

Re: Creation
Creation of the universe took 13 Billion years to make it look like it does today. So creation is scientific and the process involves God's influence. The bible has a lot of inaccuracies and creation is one part that is in need to be fixed also there was never a talking snake or a tree with fruit that would make a person smarter. God is in fact the very first scientist and it is very scientific to be able to create a planet, star, galaxy or universe or life. Of all that I just mentioned which would seem the easiest? So how does one convey how to everyone in a scientific manner so both the Scientific community and the Creationists are able to interpret how this stuff occurred and why? So I'll do my best here lets start with how a star works.
A star consists of a fuel dimension bigger than this universe full of fuel. (Does it seem odd this idea? the evidence is in a black hole) In the centre of the fuel dimension is a worm hole that resembles a black hole and this draws fuel into its centre and compresses it, at the other end in the core of the star is the worm hole exit point where the fuel exudes through holes in the stars shell and then reacts to a catalyst on the surface of the star and then combusts in the upper atmosphere. Inside the shell of the star is gravity element which produces gravity fields for all planets, moons and comets etc in the system. Atmosphere of the star and planets is also accomplished with a gravity field. There is also wormhole element and that controls the fuel flow for the star. In each galaxy there is a pivot star which has a gravity field that encompasses the entire galaxy and this holds everything together through out galactic movement. When a star becomes a black hole everything inside its gravity fields is pulled into the black hole and into the fuel dimension which is empty except for fuel pockets. In the case of a pivot star everything inside the galaxy would get pulled into the black hole. Black holes are sphere shaped as are worm holes. When a star becomes a black hole it decouples from the pivot star and is left behind. I am the Arkangel Daniel and I am from Heaven.

    Anybody with any sense. Whole continents do not rise up out of the ocean in a few centuries. And we know THAT because we have dated items in the Americas that are older than the map.

    Because, as I said, the Americas are not on it.

    You ARE confused about Biblical Hebrew. You're just too confused to know that you're confused.

    Of course, we also have the confirmation of science: The continents did NOT divide at any time during human history.

    You expect things to stay the same unless there is some reason to think they have changed.
