MLD Woody Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 ah, the party! Hey woody why don't you show your ignorance even more and list the vile beliefs stated by the Tea Party. I'm guessing you don't know jack shit and will have to go to a left-wing website to find some examples of egregious behavior. WSS I know what the majority of Americans think based off of national polls. I know what some general tea party stances are. I know, based off of polls, there is a split building in the Rep party, especially between old and young Republicans on certain issues. More widely accepted stances on social issues will need to be held by a president for them to be elected. I would be willing to bet that someone affiliated with the tea party will not be elected. No matter how much money is thrown into the political system on their behalf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Right, and the entire universe was made in 6 days, lololol. How many of the 10 commandments are even remotely laws? You, and others on here, seem to have a poor grip on the whole freedom of rekigion, separation of church and state thing. Christians have been the majority for so long that any evening out of that power is seen as an attach. That's fucking stupid. Forcing private institutions to stat open on Sundays is just stupid. They can do what they want. I hate religion, but individuals still have their rights Well according to other theories the entire universe sprang forth from nothingness in the blink of an eye so six days sounds pretty conservative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well according to other theories the entire universe sprang forth from nothingness in the blink of an eye so six days sounds pretty conservative The earth took somewhere around 9 billion years to form - the universe didn't just spring in to existence overnight (whatever a night would have been back then).

I don't even think you are that much of a leftist, more of a contrarian. From what I have heard from the Tea Party I would be surprised if you were vehemently opposed to it.Maybe you should practice what you preach and actually find out before you bitch. Otherwise you are just regurgitating be bullshit from the fringe pundits. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 How long is a day in the biblical sense? Only Woody knows for sure....... God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. - Genesis 1:5 So a day in terms of creation is one earth day, presumably. I know some people have tried suggesting that one 'creation' day is thousands or millions of years (presumably in an attempt to fit in with an observably older universe?) but I think that's pretty clear cut from genesis.

Westside Steve Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 As with reporting, (everything before the but is bullshit), didn't everything change after the New Covenant? If so why waste so much time arguing over the Old Testament? WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS Yeah Jesus came along and basically said "forget the old testament, it's rules are pretty rubbish, follow what I say" - hence why christianity doesn't worry so much about pork, mixed cloths and tattoos (while judaism does). Not sure why the old testament is still printed with the bible if that's the case, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused - you were talking specifically about the earth in your post, mentioning the six days, so that's how I answered. The bible doesn't specifically address the creation of the universe, as far as I'm aware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 It's not that confusing woody said the earth was created in six days lololol ok, right? But then the universe was created from nothing by an explosion of nothing in a nano second. Totally plausible right? Your argument is that the earth is nine billion years old. Ok, that's actually pretty reasonable. But as for how long it took to be created? No one knows. Six days is as good a guess as any. Might be conservative since the entire universe was created in a blink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a theory that it was the Romans who came up with the New Testament in order to make Christianity more palatable to the Roman population. I suspect this is not a widely held belief.

Might be conservative since the entire universe was created in a blink. 4-5 billion year old earth, the universe existed for 9 billion years before the earth. But as woody says, it depends on what you consider the creation of the earth - if it's the formation of a rock roughly the size of the earth, or the development of an atmosphere, or life, or the continents as we know them, or some other milestone of your choice. Either way, 6 days is just really not even close, a few sites I've glanced at quickly are suggesting 100 million years for the rocks to come together in space as a single planet.

No one has the first clue. Some planets aren't even composed of rock are we going to speculate based on nothing how long it might have taken to create Jupiter?

The Cysko Kid Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Also if the rock just accumulated by happenstance why isn't the earth a lumpy mess of all the rock which would certainly have accumulated since its initial formation?

What better philosophy for the people you have conquered than to not worried about it understanding that in the next world they will be victorious.
