The Ultimate God Question

GoPedroia · 2010-02-21 03:42:38

Yo, im just wondering how athiests think the universe and outer space were created. Whether it be 6 trillion years ago, or 3000 years ago, I just dont see how something this massive can pop out of nowhere. Everything has a starting point, and dont even start to say 'Well, the universe has just been there forever,' because clearly that is a lie. Just popping out a question that SCIENTISTS cant prove.

[QUOTE="imaps3fanboy"][QUOTE="Ringx55"]How did God create the Earth in 6 days? Better questionRingx55

This is very much disputed.. in the bible numbers can be figurative. 6 days might mean 6 million years.. ( i dont think it was made in 6 days either). but I do think that he could have done it in 6 days if he wanted.

So, if thats true, he made the vegetation on the third day. And then the sun, moon and stars on the 5th day. No way life could be sustained for that many years without a sun.

Anyone, Christian or not, that takes that story literally has to be joking.

It has to be figurative. The concept of a day couldn't possibly exist until after the earth was created

When stuff like this gets passed on through generations it loses its real truth. If someone told me that god created the world in 6 billion days I'd probably put down 6 days for the lulz.

Christianity: jesus died for your lulz :P

someone please answer my question...pleaseGoPedroia

I am not an athiest but I don't think anyone really knows just how long ago the universe began. for one thing I don't believe we are capable of grasping the concept of a distance of time that large. you can see a string of numbers and think "gee that is a long time" but after a few months and years it really is meaningless and we have no idea. (universe or what ever you wanna call it) suffice it to say that no matter how the "thingiewhatser" got started it was awhile ago:wink:
