What, you’re saying there was no ‘beginning’ when God created heaven and earth?


In a different “direction” of thought.. some scholars say the word translated as “created” in some passages in Genesis is really the word. re-created.. or re-modeled..

If true this sends the conversation in a completely different direction.. Bringing in the concept “re-created from what?”.. even “re-created WHY?”, I’ll go even further.. “re-created for WHOM?”... Not to speak of the concept “Who put Satan here, and why?”...

But humans like boxes.. as completely as kittens like to play in boxes.. They feel “safe” in their boxes(dogma).. Humans are sometimes as cute as a kitten, sometimes NOT..

I am not a fundamentalist. However,Is-

“The universe sprang into existence instantaneously in the big bang as a hot, dense soup of matter and energy. Then, in the first 10-30 seconds, space itself expanded much faster than light speed.”

-more rationbal than a supreme Diety creating the Earth in six days?

When they eventually look far enough, they’ll see the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Cosmology's standard model goes a bit like this. The universe sprang into existence instantaneously in the big bang as a hot, dense soup of matter and energy. Then, in the first 10-30 seconds, space itself expanded much faster than light speed. That growth spurt, known as inflation, had two main effects. First, it smoothed the universe out and rendered it geometrically "flat" on the largest scales. At the same time, it greatly magnified tiny quantum fluctuations in the density of hot matter and energy. These density fluctuations then left tiny variations in the temperature of the CMB across the sky and, much later, seeded the formation of the galaxies.

Scripture wins again.

"It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity."

~Alexander Hamilton

True.. it’s still true..

People have been pretty much brain washed about democracy..
What they think it is, it ISN’T.. a mass delusion..

Democracy is not democratic and progressives are not progressive... communism is not communal it is a “farm”.. an “animal farm”..
Sheep getting milked, sheared and butchered by wolves..

Which demands a question: Are YOU a sheep?..
or a Sheep Dog.. you cannot be both..

Course you can be a wolf, getting a givernment check of some sort..
Sorry......... we’re talking about PEOPLE here.. not actual sheep..

Liberals have used first the public schools, books and newspapers, with then TV, movies and other means to spread their propaganda for about as long as this country has existed. As time has passed, they have become ever more organized and sophisticated, with little or no thought to the morality of their goals or methods.

There was a study done to determine the color of the universe. They first reported it was pink, then corrected their findings to off-white.

No, I’m not kidding.

I am willing to bet that there are representatives of the LGBTQ Crowd who are VERY disappointed about that.

My theory is that the Big Bang was preceded by the Big Dinner and a couple of drinks.

Quantum mechanically, and relativistically, ~14 billion years is mathematically equivalent to 6,000+/- years.

Yet burning perhaps even in the earliest phases of galactic history, it would have taken at least two to three generations of stars to fuse elements heavier than carbon now in the Sun.

A little bit of science makes God’s existence all the more fascinating.
