    So where did everything come from? Even before 6,000 years ago?

    The Earth is 4,5Billion years old. And what made planets and solar systems and galaxies was The Big Bang. Not the TV-show. So...it has been around a long time. During that time, our climate has changed to be habitable to animals.

    I don't have a problem with "the big bang" but I believe it was an act of God.

    Just because we don't have all the answers doesn't mean we should just say 'Oh it has to be god because It's too big for me to understand'... at this point.

    And just because we have a theory to understand it (ie The Big Bang theory) doesn't mean it's correct.

    No, but science gets a helluva lot closer with explaining than Bible...but everyone is entitled to believe in what they want.

    You mean the subject based almost completely on theories?

    Big Bang theory, theory of relativity, string theory, theory of gravity, etc. We have lots of theories and very few concrete answers.

    And the only 'concrete answers' the bible gives is if you go on blind faith, so there you go.

    Why is why no one is right. Modern man is just as clueless to our existence as the people who wrote the Bible.

    Yeah, but atleast science is trying to actively understand it better...

    You can't rewrite the Bible like you do scientific theories.

    If I could I would remove all the "science" from the Bible and just leave the stories and their morals. That's what people should be paying attention to.

    I see a new cult beginning soon... The ATNSBSG. The Acid Trip Non-Scientific Bible Study Group.

    Kidding aside, I do not mean any disrespect as I do respect everyone's faith and beliefs. I do agree that there are a lot of good stories and morals in the Bible.

    We'll need a shorter acronym.

    Science has been wrong since the beginning of mankind. The Earth is the center of the universe, no wait it's the sun, no wait that's wrong too. The Earth is flat...oh shit, it's round! Light is balls of energy...no...wait...light is now waves. There are 3 dimensions, no wait 10...damn...11 to 13.

    What's the common denominator between Science and the Bible? Humans. Humans wrote the Bible based on the teachings of Jesus/God. Did they get his message 100% correct? Nobody knows. Then man invents Science to explain everything "God did" and we have had millions of theories on everything under the sun.

    The Bible and Science are the same thing. They are man's interpretation of his environment and neither has been proven right or wrong.

    Great point.

    I go to a 'golf cart church' from time to time on Sundays and we take our kids because lifes lessons and morals and the storys are really great sometimes.. But also the woman who gives the sermon doesn't hammer the mysticism so much.. Her angle seems to be more around mans perseverance and finding strength..
