[QUOTE="Lansdowne5"]Good. I was hoping you would all say that. Think about this for a second....the universe must have been created somehow and is it so ridiculous to think that it might actually have been God that did it??? If anyone has a better theory than feel free to explain. But if God could create the universe (No matter how long it took him) do you think he wouldn't be able to create the world in 7 days? Our week is comprised of 7 days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Why do you think that is??? It is because that is what God intended our week to be, so to set and example for us to live by, he created the world (on purpose) in 7 days. [/QUOTE] That's the most bullcrap I've heard in a while. [quote]The common explanation is that the seven-day week was established as imperial calendar in the late Roman empire and furthered by the Christian church for historical reasons. The British Empire used the seven-day week and spread it worldwide. Today the seven-day week is enforced by global business and media schedules, especially television and banking.[/quote] The earth is not 6000 years old [quote] The generally accepted age for the Earth and the rest of the solar system is about 4.55 billion years (plus or minus about 1%). This value is derived from several different lines of evidence. Unfortunately, the age cannot be computed directly from material that is solely from the Earth. There is evidence that energy from the Earth's accumulation caused the surface to be molten. Further, the processes of erosion and crustal recycling have apparently destroyed all of the earliest surface. The oldest rocks which have been found so far (on the Earth) date to about 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago (by several radiometric dating methods). Some of these rocks are sedimentary, and include minerals which are themselves as old as 4.1 to 4.2 billion years. Rocks of this age are relatively rare, however rocks that are at least 3.5 billion years in age have been found on North America, Greenland, Australia, Africa, and Asia. While these values do not compute an age for the Earth, they do establish a lower limit (the Earth must be at least as old as any formation on it). This lower limit is at least concordant with the independently derived figure of 4.55 billion years for the Earth's actual age.[/quote] What I find very strange is that god sent Jesus ten thousands of years after the first humans walked this earth. Why did he do that? That's not logical at all. What about the old Greek, Roman, Viking, Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, Maya, Inca religions? They were all for nothing? These old civilisations believed in multiple gods, why can't that be true? If there can be one holy being, than so can thousands of them.
