Do you consider yourself to be a representative of Christianity? Yours is a Christian demenear and way of interacting with people whom you disagree with?
Some forget about the vast expanse of time when there were only microbes on the planet....3 billion years before multicellular organisms emerged. To repeat, 3 billion years. Try to imagine that.
No biggie. Try to imagine, He spoke the Heavens and earth into existence. Now, that's a biggie.
Solar system formation is not spoken into existence. A solar system forms from interstellar gas and dust through the action of gravity and mass, which appears to be a common occurrence given that hundreds of planets have been detected orbiting other stars. It's a natural process.
You do realize that scientists do not have an explanation for that a most suggest there had to be a creation to make any of that possible. Use your brain, where did all that gas and dust come from? Once there was nothingness and all of a sudden theres space gas and dust?
We all have our own beliefs regarding Creation. I believe in Creation through evolution. I believe the world and life on this earth are God's creation, and I believe that evolution was a very clever way that God used to achieve His creative objectives. And the idea that the Power that created the universe is interested in having a relationship with me, one of His creations, is the heart of the message that Jesus...in His humanity...brought to the world. Everything else pales in comparison to that idea, to me. Once that relationship was established, fine theological points I once thought so important, evaporated.

Well said.

Bill & Gloria Gaither - O holy Night [Live] ft. David Phelps
Too much REAL good in that little church, right there in the same state as Slum and Rene. anyone here go listen to that video, listen to it loud, then watch it again, and pay attention, then get up and go have a long look in the mirror.
Is this the one gunner? David Phelps has an amazing voice.
Yeah, that's it JG and Jag, Thanks, I just wanted others that may be perusing this thread to see it, other weary travelers looking for proof, that's in the thread title you know, I saw something real there, something alive and living in that house AND singer, that was NOT acting, something alive and living in those people, it came in through my ears and traveled all the way down and settled nicely in my black guts, very emotional, I listened to that video repeatedly till 11 p.m. last night then went to bed, must have watched/heard it 30 times.
An apology. Appears I misunderstood Antlers' reply to my earlier comment and gave him a snarky reply. Shouldn't have given a snotty response, no matter what. Sorry ol' head.

PTL. He whispers to the heart of those He calls out to by different methods. Many are called, few are chosen, because they reject Him.

I was responding to the claim that the earth was 'spoken into existence' - when clearly it was not.
Now you are projecting the issue back to the origin of the matter/energy itself and using the God of the Gaps fallacy....we don't know something therefore God did it.
It's quite likely that something always existed, time being relative. It's a complex issue, and saying 'God did it' doesn't actually explain a thing.
Those couple of billion are wrong. Remember when everyone thought the earth was flat?
No. I wasn't around then. Why are they wrong and you're not? I really believe you are wrong and I am right.
Do you have a book written by 40 people over thousands of years that archaeology has proven correct time and time again, that says God didn't speak the world and universe into existence?
I have one that says He did.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.
