Taffer, if your question is ..."Again to clarify, your contention is that God created the entire universe, and existed before the universe, correct?"
That's an affirmative, a YES. The Lord created and was before the Creation and not a creation of the created.
However, I do not believe that "outside the universe" is a meaningful setence. Therefore, where did God exist before he created the universe?
And hence can reCREATE as HE will be doing the whole Earth and Universe.......
For He loses no power when he creats, meaning even all things created don;t equal HIM and His POWER.
Lost the hyperlink to that one momentarily.
O...k...
And we can discuss how time is no more in the spirit world, whereas in the material world it is directional and includes entrophy as all things degenarte and do not get better and newer with time (A direct contradiction to the theory of evolution which states that miraculous entrophy does not apply to its magical miracles)
This is not true at all. Evolution does not violate the laws of entropy. Entropy always increases in a closed system. The earth is not a closed system.
WE gotta talk Taffer, your whole life revolves around evolution, whewee it is therefore such a sensitive topic to you, such a religious one where your whole existence hinges on its validity. You are risking so much by talking with a creationist, who can rip your theory apart....... if your mind is openned up.
Not true at all, David. Only my academic life revolves around evolution, not my whole life. If evolution is shown to be wrong, then I will no longer believe in it. I have no problems changing my views if evidence to the contrary is presented. So far, I have yet to see any. And I have talked to many creationists before you, David. I've heard it all before.
Its ricky business, bro.... but then again maybe if you show sincerity it may be worth a go.... we shall see.
I am more then willing to take that risk, David. As I've said a number of times, if you wish to discuss the science of evolution, I have created a thread for you there. I will address any concerns you have.
Order and design go together... laws were created they did not evolve... magic presto explosions do not create the miracle of harmonic life....
Unfortunately, none of those things have anything to do with evolution. Evolution happens once life already exists. If you want to believe that the first life forms were created by God, then that's fine by me. I cannot argue against it from an evolutionary point of view.
And David? I hate to be a nag, but you haven't addressed my post, only two quotes from it. If you like, I can repost it verbatim, but hopefully that isn't necessary.
