So you accept that God made the declaration in Exodus 20:11?
You indicated that you believe the miracles recorded in the Gospels. I assume therefore that you believe that Jesus turned water into wine?
As a scientist, would you think that this event could be replicated in a laboratory or other setting? And if it could not be replicated in a laboratory or other setting would that disprove the theory that a cistern full of inorganic H2O could actually be turned into a cistern full of organic polyphenolics, flavinoids and sugars and sulphites and alcohols in say... a millisecond.
And if it did disprove it, would you still believe it happened exactly as recorded in the scriptures?
If you can believe that God can suspend all the known laws of nature and supernaturally make a cistern of wine from a cistern of water in a milisecond, why is it so difficult to believe that the same laws of time and nature were not suspended "in the beginning" so that the heavens and the earth and all that is within them was created in say... six days (as God so declared in Exodus Chapter 20 verse 19?)
Strangely we are discussing some of this today as a sidebar on another thread which is otherwise exploring reality and illusions.
My two posts related to the subject of beginnings: 621 and 631.
