popmynutsy SG few 100k years? cause last time people live is few hundred years then die 1. then descendant, descendant and more descendant. take the 1st page of matthew, all the people x200 years?
laurence82 SG You guys supposed to be able to interpret the Bible, otherwise, that kinda put the doctrines put forward by different denominations into perspective
laurence82 SG Cannot be Coz he is quoting NUS who wants references to the Bible, unless he is going out of point
Icemoon SG either way he is falling into a trap. On the surface, the bible does not mention the age of the universe at all. You can argue very young or very old, but how old is old right? Notice I say on the surface .. hehe.
laurence82 SG Then its pretty allright to say so directly what could be the issues Then whatever NUs wants to listen to is his pasah
Icemoon SG his intentions are clear, ie. he wants to discredit the bible using the age of the universe. Genesis says 1 week. so we must prevent anyone from quoting Genesis. so I challenge him why must use the bible.
Icemoon SG the 1 week is time from creation. time of creation is nonsense 'cos creation is the beginning of space-time.
laurence82 SG No leh God used one week, six days to be exact, to create the world/universe That is time of creation So how much time has passed since then?
Icemoon SG This is unscientific. Now what day and age liao (pun intended), you still stuck in the mythological understanding of Genesis 1? Creation should be understood the same way in science and in the bible. If that is what pple like NUS want .. I give it to them - in present day science.
laurence82 SG Mythology is nice, adds flavour to a culture So pray, do tell, what are the scientific and biblical understanding of the creation?
Icemoon SG Even myths need to be upgraded you know? Creation in biblical sense is tricky. Do you mean physical or spiritual creation? Science cannot probe the spiritual creation but it is generally in agreement with Scripture on the physical creation.
Icemoon SG Yes. Scientifically Big Bang was THE creation. Scripture agrees that it was an act of tabula rasa. Spiritual creation is the infusion of soul and spirit into animals and man.
laurence82 SG So, creation was gazillions years ago, as proposed by scientists? Then that is a heck of long time, coz its still take sometime before earth appears and man and animals exist
