The Big Big Thread of Religious Discussion

[Demetrius]

Azisien this may be unmoderated but come on, nobody is name calling and we are at least getting some give and take here, so let's keep this civil.

I am a Christian and I will gladly listen to what you have to say, actually listen, because what you have to say tells a lot about who you are and what you believe. If you make good points I will applaud them, in return I expect the same from you, getting upset because people don't agree with you leads to strokes and social issues.

In the meanwhile why do you think the earth is older? I am of the opinion that the first several days of creation could have been any amount of finite time because time as we know it wasn't introduced until after the third day:

And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

Just my take, many fundamentalists argue against this in favor of the 24 hour day of creation. My way GOD could have been the first cause that started the chain of cause/effect that has brought everything into being.
