The Origin Of The Universe And Earthly Life Are Correctly Explained By The Bible

.. For this debate I will be proving that The Bible correctly explains the origin of the universe as well as earthly life. I will be looking at several topics through out this debate, these include but or not limited to Summa Theologicae- St. Thomas Aquinas "The Genesis Code" Abiogenesis First, let me set this straight, after reading previous debates from my opponent Abiogenesis will probably become a huge part of this debate. But unlike the normal idea of 1:10^40,000 I will revise the Hoyle Calculation to 1:60000 due to the fact that only 3 amino acids that repeat are needed to make certain proteins that are needed for life on Earth. This number is instead of using 20 in the calculation using 3. Summa Theologiae- a book by theologian St. Thomas Aquinas that states that science and the Bible do not contradict "The Genesis Code" - A book and movie that offers an explanation of the creation of the universe What I will be proving over these rounds is that the Abrahamic God created the universe using science. My argument will vastly differ from the childish idea that God is some magical creature. .. He merely manipulates science to complete his tasks. So I will be reading Genesis as metaphorical, not literal. Thus since, that God used science to create the universe and the Bible retells that story therefore, the Bible explains the creation story correctly. On 7 day creation, As anyone with a brain knows 7 day creation is kind of absurd, but what if God is on a different time frame from humanity? this would mean that it is possible for his 7 days to possibly mean 13 billion years. This is a plausible idea, that if God were to exist he would either be on a different dimension or time frame than us. Biblically this is shown in 2 Peter 3 verse 8 which says "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. " This is a metaphorical way for ancients to say the Lord's time is not our time. .. In fact, even science says time is relevant, this is called Time Dilation, Time dilation is defined as"a difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from a gravitational mass or masses. " So what we can deduct is that God is not on "our time" per say. On Adam and Eve, Who came first? the world may never know. .. While we are all "inherently" women during conception and we become male when the Y chromosome is added, this may or may not be what happened during the creation of humans. .. There is no true way of knowing which came first Man or Woman, we can only guess. On the order of creation Science- Big Bang, Expansion, clusters, separation of galaxies, non-burning stars and planets and moons form, Stars begin to burn their fuel that they accumulated, Oceans form on Earth as well as an atmosphere, Land forms, plants form, animals form, humans form. Bible- God created universe (covers first 5 steps), God said Let There be Light (covers the creations of the first electromagnetic waves AKA Light), God separates the oceans and the sky (oceans and atmosphere forms), God creates land, God creates chemo-synthetic plants (same day as land), God creates animals and places the stars in the sky (I will expand upon later), God creates the first humans. Don't these two creation explanations/stories seem very similar to you the reader? People writing the Bible did not understand what the Big Bang was or what galaxy clusters or rapid expansion was, so they said "God created the universe" which is a very basic way of explaining the Big Bang from people who were very primitive. On the Big Bang, I support the Big Bang creation of the universe, in fact, I believe in it. .. However, I strongly believe that God created the Big Bang. As there is no way for Science to answer this question "Why did the Big Bang happen. .. " They may say "It had to. .. " But how can something that didn't exist, have to exist or create itself? or maybe they say this "Well eventually the matter got so massive it was forced to implode on itself and create the big bang. " But the next question is where did that matter come from? They may also say "A previous universe collapsed on itself causing the Big Bang" but if that's true, than where did that universe come from? The truth is science in all it's knowledgeable glory does not have an answer to WHY or WHAT CAUSED the Big Bang to happen. On the 1st day, God used the Big Bang to create the universe On the 2nd day, God created what science knows as electromagnetic waves A. K. A light On the 3rd day, Most scientists agree that the first plants would have been "Chemo-synthetic" instead of "Photosynthetic" This means they use chemicals other than sunlight, water, and CO2 to make sugars. .. This would allow for plants to form on what would have been a very thick and chemically rich atmosphere and oceans. On the 4th day, While the Sun and other stars had already formed, many scientists theorize that our atmosphere would have been very thick and cloudy and most likely any organism that lived on the surface would not have been able to see the cosmos from Earth. Day 4 in modern terms would say, "and the atmosphere cleared and stars became visible" On the 5th day, God created the first animals, even neo-Darwinism, one of the most anti-Christian groups states that animals would have been created first. .. The animals that would have been created would have probably been sea creatures, which just happens to be what the Bible states was created first. On the 6th day, God created humans, this is very accurate, humans are ONE OF the youngest species on Earth, this makes this day plausible. .. So to sum my constructive case, my argument follows Summa Theologica, that there is no contradiction between the Biblical story of creation and scientific version of creation, and that in fact God used science to create the universe. This is to all that vote. .. I know that many of you have already taken sides on this. .. I urge you to put up your beliefs and read the arguments before voting. ..
