It is inconceivable that the cosmos could have come into being in six days. It is also inconceivable that there could be such a miraculous interconnected ecosystem with its floura and fauna. The fact that the millions of intermediate forms do not exist is just inconceivable. By man, that is. Everyone knows that there is a pattern that connects. A stamp of identity on every natural wonder. Everyone believes that, given enough time [if he didn’t destroy himself] man could figure out just about everything. This common faith, in the human possibility, is what gives the athiest and the humanist hope for the future. What is intolerable is the notion that perhaps someone already has figured everything out. The Bible simply declares that this is the case. Someone is already there, in the infinite future where everything is known. This Someone has an identity that is imbedded in every living thing. Written. Man matters because he exists in the form that reflects that identity. Therefore man has meaning and worth, intrinsically. On this basis alone stand human rights and dignity. Islam is filthy because it does not submit to this reality. It’s submission alright but submission to a “demon” who eats the “souls” of men.
Imagine you are all powerful. In modern terms designing a world on a computer. With the proper tools you could paint the cosmos in the short timeframe your tools and intelligence allowed you too. If you want a billion lightyears of light to cross the universe, you program it in in less than six days like a painter on a canvas.
I prefer to upset EVERYBODY.
As I’m not a “young earth” Creationist.
I don’t buy 6 days nor 6,000 years.
But, I AM a Creationist.
