May I interject, that although 13-billion-year-old stars and such have been found, I do believe that there is a God who created all things. This comment may start arguments, but I do not intend it to be so... but here it is. I believe God can do all things, and with that belief comes the explanation, why couldn't He have brought the light from those billions of stars far, far away to us when He created the world?
I do believe there is life outside of the earth, somewhere in this vast universe. The chances are so incredibly good for it.
In my opinion, I believe that the stars are yet another good example of a supreme God, who created everything to be good in His sight. Before the usual questions come, yes, the world is a place full of death, deceit, sin, and everything bad. But God did not create it this way. It came when Adam and Eve ate the apple.
Is there anyone else here who believes this?
Also, if anybody wishes to argue, please be nice
The crust is not a solid, non moving mass and objects can and do move around inside it at different rates. Thing of putting squash into water, you can see the squash sink down into the glass before it mixes because of its inertia or some other agitagion. Solids behave the same way, some to a greater and some to a lesser degree. Just it takes millions of years to do so and some objects may find levels they cant penetrate (i.e. the glass bottom)Third- about fossils. Let me point you to the fact that fossils of different "eras" have been found in the same place, on the same level.
I have a degree in physics. When you have a degree in physics, please explain how this is true. Until you do, please please accept it is not true. I am asking you to have faith in me that I am telling you the truth that this is false. I wont provide any evidence but will simply ask you to do so on faith and trust that I have zero reason to lie to you.Fourth- about the sun. The sun has a certain rate of decay that leads to the conclusion that it is only thousands of years old, not millions. This is not a good basis for disproving evolution, though.
Thank you for making a valid point.Lateral Line said:There is little point trying to debate or argue even with religious types. It is not really their fault, they had religion thrust onto them long and hard from a very early age. It sinks in deep. That is why religious teachers like to "get them early", whilst science educators have to wait until their charges are in their teens. As an atheist, it is a lesson I have come to understand.
