seems kind of pointless, from a gods standpoint....he didn't have anything better to do with a whole universe out there?

First of all the imaginary diety you are referring to is GOD. Simply GOD. Yes, we are given free will. The will to choose between good and evil, right and wrong. If i cant answer some of your questions, that is because " Gods' thought is above my thought." As i say praying is a way to connect and communicate to him. About our first parents: they are given everything yet the disobey the only order God had given, "not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge." God have a plan for us read Jeremiah22:11. For i know the plans i have for you, declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. "

i've been trying to figure it out... not much success so far, though...

Not that mighty he is not just listening to one prayer. HE is all-knowing. He already know what each and everyone of us pray or felt. He knows you even to the deepest of your soul.

Interesting... probably why most Biblical scholars believe that if Christ came back today he would not recognize the religion named after him.

First off scientists can measure time with atomic clocks, which are immune to all of the changes in planetary motion which can cause the length of our days and years to vary slightly. Technically, relativistic effects can cause time to move slightly differently on a mountain top vs at sea level, but the effect is TINY. incredibly tiny. nothing to worry about.

We also don't need to worry very much about the duration of days messing a great deal with our measure of time. This would only matter if we are using historical records, right? If you read a passage from four thousand years ago, and they say "forty days passed", you want to know if that 40 days is the same as 40 days today, right? well it pretty much is. the variation in day length is tiny. its not like 40 days from long ago could be, say, 50 days. It might be like 40.3 days, or maybe much less.


For the most part, when scientists calculate the passage of time in the distant past, and off planet, they aren't even worried about how we use the rotation and revolution of the planet to mark time. That's just a unit of measure being used, the actual rotation and revolution have *nothing* to do with the act of calculation or measurement. They use processes that are known to proceed at pre-defined rate, and for which we have evidence of the progress of that process.

Do you doubt that the universe is billions of years old?

I have always wondered how scientists figure time?
They tell us the earth and universe are billions of years old.

yet when it comes to like Methusula (sp) was 969 years old when he died. They will say the days were shorter back then.. even believers say this.

If this is so, then how do we measure time at all if the length of days has ever changed?

This thread was brought back from the dead! Zombie thread!

isn't that the Reason why they keep researching,because the Scientists know they haven't arrived at the Ultimate Answer yet?

Yep that fluffy cloud with a castle floating on it just beneath the "firmament"is now back open for business because a renegade rabbi named jesus died for your sins......riiiiight?

He treat us fairly. God give us ten commandments yet we still disobey. Did we die. NO, NOT YET. There is time for judgement. We still have time to repent. By their disobedience it justs closes the gate of heaven. It reopened when GOD send His son on earth. The death of him gives us the chance to enter heaven again. How many times did you disobey?

Hey you dissed D&D. Now you've gone too far.
