Theism

I would like to yet again start off by origin of life, you said it in your argument, there was nothing before something. the question still stands as how can something come from nothing? you also stated that new species are popping up in today's society. i would like to counter that by stating that my argument was for the origin of life, once the odds have been worked through and produce life, it is inevitable that new species will arise and evolve. The dimes analogy only referred to how life started, not how life has evolved. As for the statement of how life began, you said " just because we don't know, we cannot say that there is a god" (not word for word but basic concept) however this logic is circular and ignorant. choosing to simply say, we don't know, but we CERTAINLY know it is not god shows ignorance. Yes science has in fact proven a lot and yes science is compatible with the bible. The simple fact of saying "we do not know", blinds you to the fact that there is a possibility for a god. As a christian, i interpret the bible to find answers. The bible has a full explanation of how the origin of life began, (no i do not believe the earth is 6000 years old) however, overlooking the explanation of how life came to be, through the biblical view is something I ponder. I do not see why it is so hard to look at the bible and see how well it actually does correspond with science. here are a few examples In the first book of the bible, genesis, god created the earth. Now the bible referrers to the creation of earth in days. There are a few ways to defend this. most believe that scripture is talking about literal 24 hour periods, in correlation of modern time keeping methods. however at no point is it stated the length of time in between these 24 hour periods. Now were these actual 24 hour periods? The answer is quite unknown, as methods of keeping time were so different back then. My point is still valid however that there is no distinct time frame of when this occurred. over 45 billion years? that is quite possible and within itself can explain evolution. This by no means a fully developed argument, it was just a small example of how the bible is able to go hand in hand with science. witch brings me to my next point in the validity of the bible Many atheists say that the bible is not valid therefore discarding any fact coming from it. However the validity of the bible can be proven true in many different ways, my personal favorite being Prophecy. Basically these are predictions found in the old testament that have been found to be fulfilled in the new testament. There many predictions ranging from the birth and death of Christ, the way in which Christ would die, and many others. Daniel is a book in the old testament that contains one of the most common predictions, the death of Christ down to the exact year. Before laying out the prophecy"s alone, there is a background that should be touched on to bring forth the reliability of these predictions. The Dead Sea scrolls are documents that were found in the Qumran site and the Dead Sea caves in 1947. Basically the entire old and new testament. Scholars from all over the world came to authenticate the dates and all match up with when they clam to be written. i encourage you to do some research on the Daniel 9 prophecy. I have spent countless house of research on the topic and only find to to strengthen my faith. Conclusion 1.as stated before, something cannot come out of nothing 2. the statement "we don't know yet" is no reason to put more disbelief in a god, if in fact that god is able to explain some of the things that are currently unknown to scientists. 3.The bible produces a plethora of valid arguments of how the origin of life begin and the bible itself is in fact valid.
