I have some questions, hopefully people here can answer and then
I have a better understanding as well...
1) Why didn't the Bible says anything about like the extinction
of Dinosaurs or about T-Rex etc?
2) How do we know that the Bible wasn't written by the Devil in
an attempt to deceive us to go to Hell? I mean we do know from
Bible teachings that he's a really really really smart Devil having
lived so many years more than humans, he certainly can deceive
people easily since he even deceived Adam & Eve.
3) Why did the Bible say that the universe was created 6000
years ago? I mean, that conflicts with science that says the
universe is many millions years old.
4) I believe God is against incest? But when he created Adam
& Eve, then in order to populate Earth, then incest is quite
obvious will happen, isn't it contradictory to say Yes last time
and then say No now?
5) If everyone comes from Adam & Eve, then shouldn't we all
be Ang Moh instead of some Asians, some Africans... I mean we
certainly don't expect African couple, even with 100 generations
later, suddenly give birth to a Chinese dude? LOL I would suspect
my wife is cheating on me!!!
Someone who can answer these questions please help. Personally,
I believe in God but it's damn irritating to have unanswered
questions.
Regarding question 3
Science are never 100% accurate and often modifying...
http://creation.com/age-of-the-earth
will tell you the age of the world...
The science in this website says the earth wasnt that old...
Regarding question 1 then...
The bible did mention about dinosaurs, just that it did not talk
about their extinction...
In fact, they co existed with Adam and Eve!
Noah's ark did have them too, well, dino aint really that big we
imagine them to be... Only a few are big...
So what happen to the big one?
Of course we didn't have to bring the big one in, we 2 of every the
same species! The bible didn't state the age of the dino...
But big dinosaurs should have big eggs? nah...
"They tend to be ovoid or spherical in shape and up to 30cm in
length" said from this website http://www.thedinosaurmuseum.com/html/dinosaur-facts.html
30cm... hmm...
what i saw in another article was 50cm... the baby or at most in
their teenage year should be pretty small even for the largest
dinasaur...
And ya, the ark is HUGE!
Question 2...
the devil has no power over the word of God...
the word of God is the truth...
the word of God is our sword against the devil...
Question 4.
Yes, God is indeed against incest now, but not the past...
One example is that abraham taken a half sister as his wife, but
wasnt sin because of that...
The law against marrying close relative only come during moses
time, way beyond abraham or adam and eve time...Why is that so?
It's because of genetics problems...
Today, one of the reason we do not marry close relative is because
of genes problem...
And that problem wasn't there in the past because human were almost
genetically perfect...
But after gereneration and generation, the genes start to have
error...
so at moses time, he gave this law to protect us from this genetic
problem...
So why do human start to have genetic problem? Isn't God's
creation all perfect?
Yes, it was perfect. But because Adam sin and death came.
before he sin, there was no death.
Question 5.
Genesis 11, that is where God change everyone language and
race...
Because they wasn't doing what God wanted them to do...
God ask them to be fruitful and multiply, and to fill the
earth...
But they wanted to stay together and build a tower and do not want
to be scattered...
So God came down and changes everyone language, and the we then
disperse...
After that, it's prolly about the gene and the enviroment that
changes their skin colour, the amount of melanin, the colouring
pigment found in everyone's skin...
I got this from a website:
"The dispersion at Babel broke up a large interbreeding group
into
small inbreeding groups. This ensured that the resultant
groups
would have different mixes of genes for various physical features.
By
itself, this dispersion would ensure, in a short time, that there
would
be certain fixed differences in some of these groups,
commonly
called ‘races’. In addition, the selection pressure of the
environment
would modify the existing combinations of genes so that the
physical
characteristics of each group would tend to suit their
environment.
There has been no simple-to-complex evolution of any genes,
for
the genes were present already. The dominant features of the
various
people groups result from different combinations of previously
existing created genes, plus some minor degenerative changes,
resulting from mutation (accidental changes which can be
inherited).
The originally created (genetic) information has been either
reshuffled
or has degenerated, but has not been added to."
Hope this can answer your question... I prolly didn't really
explain in great details cus when I learn these, it was a whole big
chunk of information... I can't just possibly spam everything here
lols
And again, our God is a mysterious God :)
