trying to prove or disprove with science, that which can only be accepted with faith bores me.trying to prove or disprove with science, that which can only be accepted with faith bores me.I didn't say it, I just quoted scripture and I respectfully disagree that in context, the Earth was in existence. My post started in Gen 1:5, but in Gen 1:1, we read, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
OK, I guess I didn't follow it closely enough.
So, did you check out the halos site?
I went there but It was difficult for me to find much enthusiasm for it. I've been the scientist type all of my life, and I dislike allowing my spiritual Christian side to intermingle with my more pragmatic scientific side. I guess you could say I'm bi-polar in that regard... and actually I've never felt the need to fuse the two. God is whatever God is, and I don't have the need or desire to express a definition, as I expect to find out one way or the other soon enough, though I am Christian in my spiritual beliefs. I do find myself turned off by some Christian persuasions though if they are particularly exclusionist, i.e. "you'll never get to heaven unless you think just like us."
As a Catholic who went through the Catholic school system, I was never required to read the bible growing up. I have no problem when there are incompatibilities between religion and science. Jesus is my Liaison to God, and science is my window to the world. In my heart there's no argument between the two because I have no need to define them.
Ah well, I'm rambling here and I guess I should just be quiet. Have a great evening!
