[QUOTE="Simeon_Strangelight, post: 1269519, member: 6783"] The only problem the people have with the Bible is to take it literally. Not even the Catholic clergy does that. Two points that point to a higher exitence at our current level of development: 1) The Big Bang - it just created itself or is there a higher force that let it come into being? 2) Evolution just calculated randomly would hardly generate life the way it did after the time-frame given - you would need billions of years more. That is where the Intelligent Design arguments come in. Now Atheists who know the math say: "OK - evolution ran too fast on Earth, then how about it ran randomly before on some Alien planet and Aliens now created most of major evolutionary steps on Earth?" Oh great - now they have to bring in Aliens who visit us once every 10.000 years in order to explain the inconsistencies with random evolution. So what is the big deal if God created the universe and the Spirit/his Voice helps along the evolutionairy force? So all you would have to dispute is that you absolutely want Earth to be created on a Friday 4000 BC, just because? I like David Wood's Bible interpretations. He is known as a guy who debates the Muslim scholars and dogma, but he is also well-versed in Ancient Abrahamic history. For example he explains why likely some stories were told - sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham. Back in his day there were popular huge religions like the Cult of Baal which actually practiced human sacrifice. So the story was simply a way to show that the new Abrahamic God would only want to demand willingness of sacrifice, but not actually want you to sacrifice any humans. That was a step up from the thinking back then. Nowadays the story does not make sense from our viewpoint, but to the people back then it was very telling. [/QUOTE]
