  I can see that this would become a concerning question when one does not think there is an unseen world, and thinks there is only just what we can see. There is, however, a huge unseen world that we cannot fathom and likely needs all that room.

  David Legg 7posted 12 years agoin reply to this
  I am not sure why you think that's wrong. The plain meaning of the text in Hebrew is that those are literal 24 hour days. It goes so far as to say, "and there was morning, and there was evening the first day," and so on. Considering that immediate and unmistakable context, you have to go through some serious textual manipulation to consider it to mean something else. And if you are referring to the text that says that a thousand year is like a day to the lord and a day is like a thousand years, remember, that is talking specifically about the attributes of God. It is not linked to the creation narrative. I think the only part of the creation narrative that is fuzzy on time is the amount of time that passed after the creation that Adam and Eve spent in the Garden of Eden before the fall of man.

  GOD exists outside of time. to say a day is as a thousand years to GOD simply means time has no effect to HIM, HE is the creator of time and space. HE created time to give us order and all that space out there was created to bring balance into HIS creation. and while it is true HE could have created just our single planet and left it at that, where is the beauty in that. GOD is perfect, balanced, beautiful, and in the beginning all HE created was also perfect, balanced and beautiful...man is the creator of chaos and imbalance and all that is ugly in this world.

Your "why" assumes a "creator" and/or "G/god" created human beings through conscious thought, because without any form of consciousness, even the thought of creating something wouldn't be recognized.

And, if people think that they are that important to the world they live in and the Universe, then I would say that they need to get over themselves.

The position that a "creator" and/or "G/god" created special the human species, you must as yourself why?

Why would a "creator" and/or "G/god" create humans? For amusement? For servitude? For what purpose?

To understand the purpose- now from my understanding, a purpose cannot be granted or given(to individuals). So, any "creator" and/or "G/god" cannot grant you or give you a purpose. Thus, the human species wasn't created by a "creator" and/or "G/god". A purpose must be created by the individual through knowledge(including experience) and discerned wisdom(truth), which is solely based on consciousness, the human will, the human conscience and free thinking.

To the ancient Hebrews, the Earth was flat and was propped up on pillars that reached down through the sea to Sheol the realm of the dead below at the very bottom. Above the Heavens were a dome, which the sun and moon traversed on the underside. The stars were embedded in the dome and were either angels or the light of Heaven leaking through holes in the dome. Think of a snow globe sitting in a saucer of water.

So the universe of the bible was only of a size sufficient to form a dome from Earth horizon to another. Therefore life elsewhere was unthinkable as they had no concept of a vast universe. Hence no mention of aliens in the bible.

The universe is full of stuff and other planets uninhabitable.
Then is our planet specially designed?
The universe is empty only having earth.
Then we are under some close scrutiny for some reason.
The universe is full having abundant life everywhere.
Then we are a fluke of existence.

If God made the universe empty, we would say what a waste. If God chose to fill it up with stuff, we would say that's impossible.

God is darned if he does and darned if he doesn't.

If the universe is so large to us, it must be small to God. This is hard for a finite being to grasp but not an infinite being.

  Life by definition has to process energy, store information and replicate.
  A single celled organism is not intelligent life.
  A single celled organism needs a certain gravity, certain chemicals, certain protein molecules, certain amino acids and for the amino acids to line up properly and in order they need dna. Dna works with Rna so both are needed.
  Dna contains written code that instruct the organism to function. In everything we have today that is written it is written by some higher agent. So we have several questions to answer:
  where did the rna come from?
  where did the dna come from?
  who wrote the rna and dna?
  how did they get there?
  
  Single celled organisms are not just happenstance.
  
  lets look at intelligent life.
  Intelligent life needs all the above just to get itself able to become a multi- celled organism. Multi celled organisms need much more to live.
  so to keep this short how much less happenstance is intelligent life compared to the single cell organism?
  
  Now if God did create the earth and put man on it. We can assume man is intelligent life then how is God working out salvation on other planets with intelligent life? The two are inseparable. Where the intelligent lifeform has the ability to choose the good and the evil there will always be the issue of sin.
  So if we do not want to limit God then we can say that there are hundreds of earths with intelligent life and hundreds of Jesus dying on crosses.
  But i prefer to pull this back to a realm of understandability and say there is only on planet with intelligent life and we are it.

It really is refreshing to read all the debating, going on for centuries, valid arguments for and against Gods and life in the universe.
Here's some interesting concepts:

1) If we are design, why just us, why so destructive and bent on annihilation. With deteriorating levels of empathy and increasing levels of apathy.
No!, design must be intelligent. If we are to empower a being with ultimate creation, then it must follow we empower it with an intelligence far greater than we will ever know, and as such, the ability for flawless design.

2) If we are random, seeds that germinated and evolved into "intelligent"? life, then by that very nature, statistics say it has happened to a greater extent everywhere, the evidence is in the diversity of our own planets life-forms.

3) If we are outcasts of some extinct galaxian race, interbred with apes for survival, then we are potentially alone, of course this is not to say that given the technology required to initiate this, then other such planets must also exist, how many and to what degree, who is to say.

Which is your theory?

I personally like no. 2, although sometimes think its no. 3

  Speaking of fine tuning...
  Scientists have discovered that everything that exists in the universe is delicately balanced on a razors edge. I was surprised to know that carbon and oxygen are supplied from the inside of stars, carbon and oxygen are primary building blocks for life. If the delicate balance of nuclear action in the stars were tinkered with even a small amount that delicate balance would not supply the materials for life and the chances for life occurring would be ever so greatly minimalized.
  If gravity were changed one part in 10,000 billion, billion, life the size of humans would be crushed. Gravity has such a narrow range of tolerance for life to exist its barely comprehensible.
  There's so much more to the fine tuning of the universe that the question, "Who set this up" jumps out at ya.

  Anyone who claims a particular probability is a charlatan, as it is impossible to know the probabilities without knowing the circumstances that produce simple cells in that manner.
  
  It could be that the chance is zero. It could be fairly common. There is no way to know.

  after watching the video i noticed that it failed on these points.
  
  the cell was not dividing, it was being torn apart by mechanical forces
  the cell was not growing it was adding to its size but stuffing itself. Growth is not defined by the contents of our stomach - adding to mass, but by actual growth.
  I did not see persuasive evidence as to its replicating itself.
  Life needs to pass all three tests.
  
  The first atheist laudable comment was "lightning hittin a mud puddle". I never enjoy these kind of presentations that use the wrong wording. A mud puddle was never the inference.
  
  Also the single cell that this may make... although the ocean vent theory also just a theory based on we see them now so they must have always existed is a bit of stretch.
  
  Given that this idea might actually be true, we only got as far as a single celled creature, much more is needed to produce a multcelled animal.
  
  I've just got to say, Please do not show me any more atheist rooted stuff as the more i am exposed to atheist desperation mechanisms I just wanna call them all liars and move onto something less vapid and more believable.
  
  I went to http://www.nobelprize.org/mediaplayer/index.php?id=1218 and listened to the lecture by this guy on this topic. The amount of maybes and ifs and "this is not a universally accepted model, but what we think a stripped down version of an early cell Might look like < 43:45 into the vid.
  It would be much more assuring to hear people lecturing within the more positive end of knowing rather than the hit or miss of maybeing..
  
  To also just mention that in both vids... dna just popped up, by george it was already there... is a bit much to swallow.

  Yes, last year i encountered what i suspect are all of those videos. I found them informational.
  Many scientists have to confront 'intelligent design' if their area of study brings them there. As in the secular world people deny the existence of God and science does too, therefore it creates all these theories - which are theories or (here's one for troubled man - myths). It is our responsibility to discern what are myths or theories from facts. Science deals purely in facts but conjours tailor made scenarios to support a theory they want, cycling universes, parallel universes, inflating universes but these when spoken of are theories not facts and we need to know that. When science strays from facts it becomes dishonest and at these times, indeed, the whole world is shrouded in wickedness.
  It is a glorious day in heaven which all the angels do rejoice when another atheist scientist becomes honest to their convictions and recognizes intelligent design and the God behind it.
  I admire walter and his works.
  
  Lee strobel has some interesting books as well, the case for christ is full of persuasive evidence.
  
  In keeping with the above, above post, when scientists strip the cell down to what they THINK was its basic form they conveniently set up parameters for a workable hypothesis and then they omit the primordial goo and enter the ocean to use hot sea vents and then they say... lalalala. What they have is a theory based on assumption and that is nothing more than a myth. Science assessed by its innumerable theories is a purporter of brainy myths.
  I or We, as creationists have no reason to believe that when God created man on the planet he used a primitive cell structure much less complex than ours today.

  If you are waiting for 100% confirmation and a video that shows how it happened, you will be disappointed.
  
  The video I linked to shows how simple a single cell organism can be, how it can develop, divide, multiply, and compete and increase in complexity by natural selection, all of which qualify it as life.
  
  It doesn't prove it happened that way. It shows that life could have developed that way.
  
  What evidence do you offer that all life was created at the same time by a supernatural being?

  The problem is that light travels at 186,000 miles per second, so it would be impossible for the human body to travel this fast, as we would be torn apart, even if we could create a space craft which could travel at this speed. Even at this speed, it would take two million years to get from our own galaxy to the nearest one. This is because light travels 10 trillion km in one year, but Andromeda is 21 quintillion km away, so even at this speed, it is impossible that man will even leave our own galaxy.

I can not believe we are the only intelligent life in the universe. I believe there are many many other planets with life on them. There is much Native American art that could be UFO's or alien life forms. But man or human in his present form has only had the technology to find alien life for the last 100 years or so. That is only a drop in time.

I myself have saw several UFO's in my life that can in no way be explained. In at least one case I know the craft was not of this earth. If it was then the government is hiding much more than I ever suspected.

If you walk outside and look straight up you could theoretically go up in that direction for ever. I really thought that by this point in my life that proof of alien life would have come out or happened. It may still happen. If a alien space craft landed tomorrow on the White House lawn or in Central Park in NY it would change the world.

If there is intelligent life on other planets and when we have proof it will change the world. In ways we could never imagine.

The earth was just practice. He played around with humanity for a while, grew bored and has moved on to more interesting things. That's why he doesn't come down and meddle with us like he did in the old testament.

  Wherewith it was carved in stone back in OT or in Present TV today, not accept it as truth unless I experience it for myself

It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Everything is a manifestation of energy...including consciousness. This is the full implications of E=MC2, and doesn't negate the possibility of God.

  God is just a word, it's that higher energy you get from casting out good questions and knowing how to listen for those quiet answers that come back to you, that really counts in my experience
