Cool, someone who thinks on a much larger scale. Bill will probably flame me for months, but I have always believed that, while the Bible states God created earth, whose to say what happened before that? Whose to say God didn't create the universe by colliding two beams of light together, or that God didn't create man through the process of evolution? The Bible begins with man (for the most part). There is the discussion of the amount of time it took God to create everything, but we label time in our terms. 7 days (6 and on the 7th He rested)? Who says these were 24 hour EARTH days. To God 7 days could have been Hundreds of Millions of YEARS.
We try to ASSUME too much. I believe we should just have faith that God is there and that his teachings are truth, but also keep in mind that most are mans interpretation of his teachings.
How did I ever get this far off topic.....
