I don't think it's fair to say that if we believe the bible we MUST beleive the earth is 6k years old and then you DON'T provide the text that says this. It sounds to me, that this belief you have about the earth being 6000 years old is your personal reasoning about the bible. I don't think you should listen to anyone about the bible, including me. Read it for yourself. Then accuse what's written in it, don't accuse the bible for something it DOESN'T say. :jointsmile:

And I'm not gonna go back and forth with you about this point any longer cause you're entitled to your opinion. But I was curious to what your source was, and now I know. Peace! :jointsmile:
Dude.. I think you need to focus on your reading comprehension issues.. I never said I Believe in anything.. I Know the earth is Millions of years old. What my point was is that those that say the the Bible is THE Word Of God cannot then Interpret those words to fit the observed universe. In Genisis if you add up the who begot whos and how long they lived and so forth you end up with 6000 years.. ITS NOT ME saying such.. its those that BELIEVE that the bible IS the Word of God and since the genealogy Says that it all began 6000 years ago those that BELIEVE it is the Word of God Say It must be so. ANd in Fact if you do the maths in Genisis it does come to aproximatly 6000 years since Adam and Eve poped up from the dirt.

If you say at any point the words in the Bible are the word of god then you MUST take every word at face value. If you say No "I can read it to mean" Then You and anyone can make it mean anything you like but ( Back to Logic) If you say you, just a man, can take its words to mean other than as written then It has to be either NOT the word of god or You are placing Your version of it Over Gods Word.

If you read the words" 7 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. " Then God looks like you and me if the bible is his word.. So you cant then now say well god is the unseen energy of the universe or some other version of what god is because it fits the known scientific dogma.

If you take it as the Word of God then God is a physical entity.. Theres many , many passages that say one thing and the Believers then interpret it to Mean something other than as written ..when you do that its logical to state its either Not the word of god or the person is over ruling gods word.

Last time I will address this also as to believe in anything is to throw logic to the wind.

As I said before if believing causes one to do good, help thy fellow man, love thy neighbor, in other words to act in Honor ( Honor is doing the right thing when no one is looking) then its great.. But History shows that most the time it ends in tragedy because men fall to the My Gods better than Your God mind set and people die in the millions..
Quantummist Reviewed by Quantummist on . Why God does not exist, in one sentence. Okay guys, I have been posting on this forum of recent, but have yet to start a thread of my own. So just for the fun of it, I decided to do so. Here goes my question. If you were asked to state the one thing that you feel the strongest as to why God does not exist what would you say? I'm not looking for an entire paragraph. Just give me your strongest feeling in one sentence. Thanks for playing :thumbsup: Examples: God does not exist cause I have never seen him.
