The creation of the world/universe...

I believe in Creation, but not necessarily the seven days as we know them. To God, a day is as a thousand years, or something to that effect. I believe God set the universe in motion. Scientists talk about the "Big Bang," a sudden explosion of light and energy that was the beginning of the universe. The Bible says "And then there was light." Can't they be refering to the same thing? Why couldn't evolution play a part in that creation? The problem is too many people get hung up on this issue, without realizing that the only thing we really need to agree on is that Jesus Christ is Lord!

The Bible was written years after the world was created. How can they possibly know? The Bible, is also a book written by men promoting an idea. You write a book for a reason and it's almost impossible to write without bias on a topic you believe, or you want others to. Man created time. We have this thing called daylight savings time, because obviously something in our system, is a little off. Evolution, I believe. Fossils and the human appendix, tend to point to fact.

I believe in devinely controled evolution. First, do we know how long a day is for God? No we don't. Secondly, the Biblical creation story is virtually the same as the ancient Persian myths. So, while God may have created the world in 7 days, they are God "days" and not ours. Creatures are probably NOT created in the order listed because that list is the same as the Persian order list. But I don't believe that life can spontaniously begin with out the "breath" of God. I believe the "skins" he gave man are the flesh and blood bodies we have now - an up right ape that was in the world, but without the divine "spark" that makes us human. Just my take on the creation story.

Hello, Mythion. This is a question that I cannot answer. I do not believe in the Bible, because it says that in 7 days the Earth was created, and suddenly the humans appeared from the dirt... I don't believe in it, I believe in the evolution. However, I can't tell you if the Planet Earth was created by the Big-Bang. I have no proof of that. And you will be always asking: where did the Big-Bang come from? It's endless. Perhaps our human minds can't think on a way in which something didn't need a beggining. Can you? Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Shocking to see that such questions are still being asked. There are just to many people who simply believe a book without doing research or using their own mind. That just shows how stupid most people are. Stupidity reigns and will do for quite some time

I do believe in creation, that earth was created in 7 days, because that's what the bible say, I do believe that earth, (not the world) is billion years old. I don't believe in evolution it contradict the bible, rather I believe in adaptation. Why did I say that, first we must consider who is talking, we live in earth, therefore 1 day to us is equal to 24 hours earth time, right, how about if you are in mercury, 1 day in mercury takes up 58.6 days here on earth, 1 day in venus is 243 earth day, and so on. Remember God is the creator of the universe, and earth is only a tiny part of it. 1 day to Him maybe a thousand, a million, or even a billion days to us, this for us to realize that God is great and all powerful.

Neither. I believe in creation but I believe the seven days is symbolic not literal

I don't believe in Evolution. I believe that World was created by God in Six equal Periods. I don't think it was about 5760 years ago, We don't have a proof to say that. World may be aged approx of 4.5 billion years as science predicted. I believe in Quran.

Hi mythion, I believe the earth is millions of years old, in fact we know it is, the idea of a 6000 year old earth is crazy. There may be some truth to evolution, but I don't think we evolved from monkeys. I think that we are spiritual beings, and that includes all beings, not just humans. We do not know enough about such things to say with certainty. We do know that mankind has been here for millions of years. Blessings.

I believe in evolution, I know this world is very old and people have lived on it for tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years in present form. and at least 2-3 million years before that as less intelligent ape like creatures. I do believe in a god and that god possibly set everything in motion but that doesn't mean it was even on this planet to begin with.

The world was not created in seven days (as we know them). God did not write the bible. It was not meant to be a history of man, but a code of morals. The world is billions of years old. Evolution is proven, as proven as gravity. The means of evolution (natural selection) are what is not proven, but I believe in natural selection as well. I was raised to be open-minded, but was taught creation first. Also, creation can mean 2 things. As for God creating the universe (if there indeed be a God), it is quite possible that he created it with the constants that exist (e.g. mass of an electron), but he does not affect its current course. As for the Adam & Eve story, I believe that it was meant to teach a moral code, not the history of man. According to the current model of evolution, 2 humans could not survive. They would not have enough genetic variation to combat anything, nor would they have been able to produce the vast differences in humans today, unless of course large numbers of mutations occurred. The Adam and Eve story has been proven false. The "theory of evolution" is proven as much as anything can be. Of course nothing can be proven 100%. Gravity could take a sudden turn and the scientific theory would be altered. As of now, nothing can disprove either evolution or gravity. Also, evidence of evolution can be clearly seen in the transformation of E. Coli bacteria (and many other creatures) to carry the gene for luciferase (an enzyme which elicits glowing). The current model of evolution including that all living things originated from bacteria (and before that, organic molecules) makes perfect sense, and that is what I believe.
