One of my chikdten, aged just 1 at the time, poured boiling water all over herself. The burns were horrendous and deep as you can imagine. The two doctors at the hospital said she would be in hospital for weeks and scarred for life. We went with her in the ambulance to the specialist children's burns unit.

At this time 200 people in church prayed for her.

She arrived at the burns unit. "There has been a mistake these are just superficial burns". Me, my wife and two doctors all imagined the deep burns apparently.

Didn't take any photos though.

Burns are hard to tell if they are as bad as one thinks if you have not seen them very often. The two doctors at the hospital made a mistake which is not surprising, but then you did a wise thing and brought her to a specialist who knew what he was looking at, so why are you surprised. Whats the more lightly situation that the laws of nature where suspended in your favour or that the two doctors made a mistake when initially analysing the burn.

Exactly, God created the universe including the earth and everything in it in 6 literal 24 hour days. He could've created it in 6 nanoseconds if He chose to do so. Probably chose days as that is something that most people can relate too.

I don't know about you, but I can't relate to creating a universe in any amount of time at will...

good question how did people tell time in those days if it was cloudy for three days, today we have mech clocks but what about 4000 yrs ago. quite the thought

The "big bang" theory is actually contrary to established scientifically-derived principles such as the laws of thermodynamics.

At what point exactly, be a little more specific.

 

[WhyNotAsk]

When God said let there be light and all of nothing exploded into the universe beyond what we know. I'd double down that it made a really BIG BANG, ya think?

Except you haven't proven there is a big banger that apparently lives in another dimension. Ya think ?

Hmm I’ve learned the word for the amount we call billion was formed around the 16th century to denote the second power of a million. don’t think there was any ancient language words that was for such a high number

That’s something you probably won’t find to often among people who believe in God, no proof is needed, I’m happy with that I don’t need any.

God can do anything at anytime at anywhere. God may indeed be hard to relate to because His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, but Jesus walked the earth as a man and that is something easier to relate to for some.

Usual theory goes along the lines of "Adam was a genius, so he knew"

Do you care what is true ? because you sure seem like an ignoramus. Who doesn't want to put in the hard work to disprove falsehood and prove truth. Instead of accepting something with out testing.

Do you care if you continue knowing the love you have with your family for more than the average life span of humans 79 yrs or is that enough for you.

 

[JamOn]

Then again you may not love anyone who knows only you

The Point when God breathed a living soul into him, Adam was just merely made from dirt plants rock other organisms before that happen.

There was a point in time that even science had no idea that 1 galactic year last about 240 million earth years.


Let alone people of old

the other planets in our solar system do not have 24 hour days, Venus is a prime example 1 day on Venus is like 243 days on earth. So all in all what’s the best way to discribe time to a person on earth. simple as it can be because once a person leaves the confines of earth time goes right out the window.

I believed in God and it meant everything to me, It coloured how I saw the world it gave me meaning and it gave me strength then, then one day I couldn't believe, I had questions, I had doubts, and they couldn't be answered, I searched, I wanted to believe and I tried, I struggled to make myself believe again, But I couldn't pretend I did without knowing that it was a lie ,so here is my question can a person simply choose to believe in something that they are not convinced of if not and God created our brains to require a certain level of evidence in order to be convinced. Why has he chosen to not provide that level of evidence for us. Even when though I wanted to believe

Greetings WhyNotAsk,

I would remind you of the scripture regarding faith:

"Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see."

However, scripture states that no one will have an excuse for not knowing God.

"They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God."

Your faith started out believing in Christ crucified, buried and resurrected. Do you no longer believe this? Does the word of God have any credibility with you? Don't be like the Pharisees who required signs in order to believe, even though they witnessed Jesus perform many signs such as the feeding of the five thousand, the healing of those paralyzed, blind, deaf, as well as the freeing of those possessed by unclean spirits. And not to mention Lazarus being raised from the dead.

We probably all have seen one of the people from the title in action at some point in our lives, we seen people perform seemingly un-explainable feats
Yet under closer examination all of them abide the laws of physics and have a natural explanation. There was zero magic tricks performed under a scientific setting that proved to be unexplained by what we know about the natural world. James Randi a "magician" by trade, but a sceptic of the spiritual had issued a 1 million prize to anyone who could prove in a scientific setting that such forces exist, yet no one was able to claim it for last 60 years.

If demons, evil spirits , fallen angels , ghosts and other unseen forces are real why have we never been able to observe a single instance since the invention of the camera.

And if they are not real how can we believe in faith healing and other acts recorded in the bible as something more then just metaphors and myth stories like Zues and other god's leading up to that time ?

I would also add to Dino's post in that, you can't see gravity, but it's there.

Since scripture states that there is nothing in all creation that is hidden from Him. And that all things are laid bare and open before Him and that even the very hairs of our head are all numbered, then we should know that God is well aware of who we are and what we're doing.

Regarding proof, did you ever compare the Messianic prophecies written in the prophets and Psalms and then compare them to their fulfillment by Jesus?

If people did live on Venus and people from Earth could call them how in the world would they talk about what their doing tomorrow or what they did yesterday, both concepts of what a tomorrow or yesterday is would be way off.

Hmm fluctuating rad decay, wonder how fast or slow it is on other planets, seems that chemistry isn’t really all that reliable.

What is up the concept of light year what is the word year based off, if I’m on Venus is it still a light year or a light days
