God Created Existence In Six Days

I will refute my opponent's R2 arguments now. Rebuttals The first paragraph relates to personal research however I am willing to accept this as a valid source. This first paragraph makes a claim but offers no evidence so I will now refute the arguments. Okay, now the main problem I have with my opponent's quotes is that they are from the Bible. While certain elements may coincide with the Big Bang theory however did the Big Bang theory take 6 days to happen? No. Was it necessary for a God to have started it? No. The Big Bang theory could have happened on its own and since my opponent is arguing for the Genesis account of creation, this means that he believes that 2 humans were made and life was made within the first week of the world's existence. My opponent must then also believe that we are roughly the same age as the Sun and other stars in our solar system. Even if I did concede that the Big Bang was created from God (which I'm not doing), this does not mean that you have met your burden of proof since you haven't considered evolution. You haven't considered the age of the Earth in comparison to stars. If they were all made in the same week, then why do we know for a fact that the Earth isn't as old as the Sun and many other stars. I will now refute R3 since there is no debate structure. I understand that you aren't trying to disprove sciences understanding of the Big Bang nor evolution. Okay, even if God did refer to days as a different period of time to how we see days. Science also clearly tells us that it is impossible to make a female out of a male's rib. Adam and Eve could not have been the first people because there never was a first person. The changes that occured during evolution were so gradual, that the being before the human would have been almost identical. The fact that it says that God put Adam on the Earth also suggests that he didn't allow the animals to evolve into other animals. It shows that Adam was put on the Earth by God. Arguments I will now provide some more arguments since my opponent has not specified otherwise. Scientists [know] that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old while the universe is somewhere from 10 to 20 billion years old. This is a fact known by scientists and it is propostourous that you can believe that everything was created in 7 periods of time because even if you do assume that when God refers to days he means a different amount of time, due to the fact that he refers to them all as days means that each period of time must be equal. In the creation story it never says that God created the Universe and then decided to take a 15 billion year long rest before deciding to make the planets (including the Earth). You cannot say that this was just one of God's days because if it was just one of God's days that must mean that all of the days that God refers to go over the period of 15 billion years. This wouldn't make sense since that would mean that humans evolved from animals 15 billion years later. Now I will show why the Bible is unreliable and show why it cannot be trusted. I will provide some of God's mistakes first and then show the Bible's inconsistencies: God's mistakes "" Creating female counterparts for all the males of each species, yet forgetting to make a female human until at least a day later. Creating Eve out of Adam's rib, rather than out of thin air like his omnipotent self. First, the poor guy's missing a rib for the rest of his life. Second, Eve was then made out of Adam, so all love from then on out was reduced to narcissism and all sex reduced to incest or self-gratification (i.e. sin). Letting things on Earth get so out of hand that he had to wipe the slate and start over. While he's wiping the slate, He simply refuses to wipe the slate totally clean. He has to save Noah and family for the next round of inbreeding, instead of re-creating humanity from scratch. This leads to the next round of wiping the slate known as the Great Tribulation[wp] or Yawm ad-Din.[wp] Going nuts because of the Tower of Babel, but doing nothing about Burj Khalifa, topping at 2,722 ft. Forgetting to smite Abraham for his incestuous marriage to his half sister Sarah. Leading his people out of slavery in Egypt only to settle down in the only part of the Middle-East where there's no oil. Fathering a son through an engaged virgin (secretly, and without any prior notice to her fiancé) in open defiance to the laws he himself set back in Deuteronomy 22:25[1], and expecting her to be honored. Writing the Old Testament and then having to send his Only Begotten Son down to Paul and some anonymous latecomers revise it, leaving everyone thoroughly confused. Forgetting to smite Himself/Jesus for working on the Sabbath. Still failing to get his message across properly even after his Only Begotten Son had come and gone,[2] meaning that a few hundred years later he had to get some messenger called Gabriel to dictate[3] Version 3.0[4] to some bloke called Mohammed. And possibly another version 3.0 to some bloke named Joseph Smith about 1000 years later. Telling us (through clergies) that we will be judged on how we decide to act in life, while designing the world around the idea that how we decide to act has been predetermined. Allowing the Holocaust to happen, along with Stalin's Purges, Mao's Culture War, Pol Pot's Killing Fields and 9/11 along with countless other atrocities. "" Now I will show you the Bible inconsistencies and why you cannot trust them. Stars The Bible makes it clear that stars are tiny objects in the sky that will fall down when Jesus comes back: Revelation 8:10" And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; "------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Bible also clearly states that bats are birds."And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, and the vulture, and the kite after his kind; every raven after his kind; and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat." These are just two of the Bible inconsistencies. Whilst the Bible may fall in line with scientific theories does this really mean that we should jump to the conclusion that it is true and that the world really was created in 6 (or 7) days. Firstly, you have made an interpretation of the Bible and many other Christians would argue that it took God 7 literal days to create the world because he is omnipotent and does not require a lot of time. I have provided scientific evidence that the majority of scientists accept and only a very small portion disagree with. My opponent has stated that they agree with Evolution and The Big Bang theory however I have poitned out the problems with this including: Adam and Eve and the world's age. As well as providing new arguments and rebuttals to my opponent's arguments. So far I am meeting my burden of proof and my opponent is failing to do the sameSources http://curious.astro.cornell.edu...http://www.csicop.org... http://rationalwiki.org...
