Hugh is a treasure and gift from God. Found him in my early search for answers years ago and he’s had an amazing impact on my life. God bless this man.
Essentially anyone who spreads the belief of God, ideally effectively, is a Prophet. Where this man is effective is he is able to convince people of science that God is real by scientific data, history, trends, and widely accepted scientific theory’s. And God works through people. So what you say is actually true lol
I'm a biologist, years ago I made an essay about DNA, through my investigation I saw GOD everywhere..and I wroted in my essay I didn't just limited to science....when I finally give it to my genetics professor she was furious, but I didn't care...I received the congrats of other colleagues. Till now I see GOD everywhere in HIS creation.
Wow 👏 That’s really courageous. May God keep blessing your life with more knowledge in Jesus Christ. We as christians need people like yourself in the scientific field to defend the Word, and share the salvation we have in Jesus Christ to those that think science disproves God.
Hugh Ross has such a calm & peaceful mannerism about him. It's a great addition to the various other personalities Justin has interviewed. Keep up the good work Justin!
@@JamesRichardWiley God was always described as Yahweh meaning essence Pompi tried to loot the Jewish temple he expected a gold statue all he found was empty space the Jews informed him that their God was being or essence so his body wasn't defined. Thus its unique.
In '89, I was in college and had found my Jesus at 16. As I grew, I wanted to learn more and love science and was engaging in lots of conversations with non believers. Someone gave me a couple of tapes of him speaking. He blew my mind open !!!!! I relate to God through nature and science. This man is the embodiment of this perspective. I credit him to the deepening of my faith when I needed it most. Thanks Hugh Praise The Lord for giving you what you have and your gift to us all.
Well indeed - nature was the first book written... The bible came centuries later. It was all oral before. He gave us Nature to point toward Him. Even the stars in the sky and the seasons
Thank you so so much! These past 2 months I have been struggling maintaining my faith because of some theories from where I questioned myself who is the creator of all of these, but now I know that there is proof that God is the Creator of this universe.
I recently had some trouble maintaining my faith as well. But this man, who is far more intelligent than me in science and theology, is convincing us that God exists. All Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
It's so refreshing to hear someone steeped in scientific knowledge and with such a gentle manner, express his belief in God's existence. He shares that belief with all those that simply do not question at all. Faith and science are a marriage made in Heaven. Thank you Heavenly Father for men and women of science who proclaim your existence and may You guide others towards your Light. "In the beginning there was God."
The bible says that man can learn about the existence of God through his creation. Hugh Ross follows that principle and proceeds meticulously in the pursuit of the clues that God leaves for man to discover.
It is both such a pleasure and a privilege to watch a person like Hugh Ross. Apart from the amazing knowledge he shares, what I love about him is his calm demeanor - almost surreal. He is such a gentleman.
Knowing God is also something that once you do believe you find yourself actually encountering Him personally on a daily and for me on a moment by moment basis. When you come to that point in your relationship with Him you realize that you could never deny His existence ever again nor would you want to.
A day is like a 1000 yrs and a thousand yrs is like a day. This helped me understand that the days in the creation to God who is outside of time was like a day but to us was a really long time.
@@Lagerfanny-g7e It's an example, it means your days are nothing in the sight of god, In the quran, sometimes God's day is like 1000 years and sometimes it's 50,000 years, the objective is not to tell exact days, but he just wants us to tell that his day can be 1000 years, or 50,000 years or 5000000 of our reckoning. It's a sign that our days are nothing in the sight of God.
@@AlexG-so1zf The Quran we have is in its original language. Millions of people memorized it word to word, that is how it is preserved. At least try to read it once and you will know the reality.
@@maazanis763 That proves nothing. This nonsense about the "original language" is pure BS! Are you suggesting that memorization of the alleged text somehow gives it more credence? Are you suggesting that it cannot be adequately translated into modern languages?! - BS!!!! Pure nonsense made up and inaccurately plagiarized from the Bible by an idiot that was a sadistic, narcissistic mad man, forced upon an entire culture with the caveat of - believe it, or we will kill you and your entire family!!!!!! Which exists to this day!!! No freewill! Forced generational compliance!!
I saw Hugh about 10 years ago at my church. Bought his debate dvd too. I have 10 years of post secondary education, and the Bible is a study far deeper than anything I've ever read regarding thermodynamics, electricity, or any of my other areas of training. You almost have to un learn what you knew before to open your mind up to the concept, and it works.
It is. The Bible is really an almost endlessly deep book. Anyone who really takes a deep, solid look at the Bible is going to have their minds challenged and changed by it. I find that those who have the most hostility towards the Bible invariably have only a superficial grasp of it.
@@DavidVonR your reply to the video is a clear indication of your lack of understanding of the scriptures in the Bible. Ever heard of critical thinking? Probably not, as you believe as children.
@@bobtaylor170 you clearly are the sophisticated one in the room, as I clearly don't see how a figment of your imagination is able to celebrate the belief of children driven by lack of knowledge. Isn't it written in your religious scriptures that man was made in the image of your god? You are as sophisticated as your god it seems, but don't make the mistake to think everyone drinks the same cool-aid. Further reading is required than that bronze age sheepherders manual. Have a fantastic day and let unbelievers experience your jesus love for them as you are commanded, not the fake kind you are displaying here.
Yes, Brother Doc! Fascinating, indeed! God's using the physics and laws of the universe to deliver us to a brand newness of life... redemption...has always been somewhat below the surface of my deep understanding (not like any of us could completely understand). But the way you've explained it elegantly crystallizes it for me! May our Abba's grace and love continue to be upon you, yours & Brother Justin! Much Love & Respect! ☝🙏💖👊💯
"I spent 2 years going through the Bible trying to find some place where it got it wrong on predicting future scientific discoveries. Never did." What about Psalm 104 - one of the verses that talks of stretching out the heavens - where it also says "He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved". Anyone?
Yes. The earth is a non-rotating, stationary plane. The Bible speaks of its width, its breadth, its shape is circular, not spherical. And, The sun makes its circuit (circle) along with the moon and stars, as they move within the firmament, right, where God placed them when he created them. Study chapter 1 carefully. Draw pictures of what you see as you read. That’s just an idea, something I had to do to really get it. The Bible has over 200 scriptural references to the Earth, being stationary, immovable, circular, etc.; and not one single intimation that it is shaped like a ball, or sphere. We all know that water, when released from its container, always seeks and finds level. We were all taught that the Earth spins on its axis at over 1000 mph! And that it rotates around the sun once a year. Northstar the nort The North Star, Polaris, does not move from where it was placed by the Lord on day one. All the other Sun, moon, and stars rotate around Polaris. You can video the night sky and then play it back in high speed. You’ll see for yourself. Not true. God placed the sun, moon, stars, and wandering stars (“ planets”) in the firmament that he created over the Earth, to separate the waters from the waters. We were never taught this. Did you know there is water above us? I was stunned to find this out and yet it is right there in page one of the Bible! We were all lied to from birth. The heliocentric model of cosmology is an anti-God scheme from Satan. Earth is geocentric. The lights in the sky are close, they are not zillions of miles away from us. They are close, and they rotate above us each on their own timeframe. I could go on and on, but maybe this was enough to get you started looking. It’s crazy. It’s mind blowing because of how we’ve been taught! If you sit out to prove that the globe is real, you will end up finding the truth. The world is flat and stationary. And beautiful. God resides on his throne above the firmament. He sees us all. God bless you and keep you on your journey seeking the truth. 🙏
I have read the same verse from the Psalms and never once thought it meant God built blocks and planted the earth upon it or that the earth does not rotate upon its axis or revolve around the Sun for instance. Certainly even you can see that despite the earth's motility the laws it abides by when doing so are yet so inflexibly set that one could just as well describe the earth as being set on a foundation that cannot be moved. What is more, despite its rotation and revolution, we who are on its surface might as well be set upon an immovable platform. So yeah the Psalmist wasn't wrong to put it the way he did. I am so much guided by Job 26:7 that says God stretches the north over the empty place and hangeth the earth upon nothing. Go look it up. You've got to understand these authors were attempting to communicate complicated aspects of creation to a world not as versed in the sciences as we are today. Imagine the challenge of just that alone.
Yes it's true , Hugo Ross is a very educate , calm and very intelligent man , a man of God , I do really enjoy all is videos , they're really rich in wisdom . Thank you Mister Hugo Ross .
“In Scripture, faith involves placing trust in what you have reason to believe is true. Faith is not a blind, irrational leap into the dark. So faith and reason cooperate on a biblical view of faith. They are not intrinsically hostile.” J.P. Moreland
There appears to be more than one definition of faith being used in the Bible, as the ability to trust w/o evidence is also said to be a gift from God, supposedly.
The King James tells the reader that the "Days" are not literal days , right after the creation passages it says " These days are the generations of the creation " !!!!!!!! It is telling the reader that the days are long periods of time !!!!!
I don’t believe enough people even know how to formulate the question Christian physicist, in their mind or this would have millions of views. Pray for the world 🌎
He doesn't! The infallible one arrested Galileo for stating that the earth revolves around the sun! The Catholic Church held this view for about 200 years (multiple Pope's) ~1600 - 1820's(?). They did not fully let go of the idea until ~1982(?) Now, they take "no position" on the issue! They were maid out to be idiots for centuries! Infallible - pfffttt!
With all due respect if the Pope doesn’t read the Bible he may have very little answers to lots of issues just like everyone else. 🤷♀️ Christians and Catholics as individuals were asked to take the Bible as God’s word, not follow individuals currently on earth with titles who think they know best. It’s definitely concerning if someone asks the Pope to be taken as the man with more answers.
I was hoping to find a debate between him and Bill Nye so I could watch Nye squirm. I have watched Hugh debate astrophysicist and young earth scientist Dr. Jason Lisle and it seemed they both had good points. Im not sure which one I fall into yet but so far I go old universe and young earth so I guess Im a hybrid. As long as Christians do not let this seperate us and deflect the main message of the gospel then I think the debates between Christians are good
@@hannesjordaan A legitimate PhD in astrophysics that worked at Caltech for 5 years vs an actor? - Seriously? Nye is not a scientist. He "played" one on TV - DOH!!!! Nye gets $50k to appear!!!! You do realize Star Trek is NOT real. - Right? Captain Kirk was acting! He never flew a starship! - dah! Typical response of the social media educated.
Well, if a scientist debates a philosopher, the scientist will likely have a harder time debating as they work off studies and research, and not a study of philosophy and philosophers, which often asks questions we can't answer definitively.
I'd said, "If I had a Bible, I would read it and see if there's a GOD, or if it's all just a fairytale." My Sister Vita had a Bible in her purse! I began reading, and she went to sleep. In the middle of the night Vita sat up and said, "Pam, JESUS touched me." So the LORD touched my Sister when was atheist, and full of hate too! I thought I was lost because I'd read in her Bible that one would be taken and the other left. But JESUS washed me as I read that KJV NT...and wept, for TWO WHOLE DAYS! I had fallen in love with JESUS! Then the LORD led me to John 16:24 where He taught me how to pray! I prayed, "FATHER touch me in the name of JESUS!" With that prayer on CHRISTMAS EVE in 1972, PAPA GOD sent HOLY GHOST very sweetly and gently down into my heart! GLORY! I woke up CHRISTMAS MORNING, BORN AGAIN! HALLELUJAH! 🎄❤️✝️❤️🎄
It is quite fascinating to view Hugh Ross, saying that Jesus is the creator god of the Universe, when the Gospels present a quite different Jesus. Notably: "I can of mine ownself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me" John 5:30 (KJV) And in Acts 3:13- we find "God has glorified his servant Jesus" "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Matthew 24:36 (KJV)
You do realise that Jesus is the son. But then you need to realise Jesus is god. But he is the son . But he is god. That makes 2 gods. Because Jesus is a man and has a soul and a body of flesh. He is the son But he is god. So how would he talk to him self. Like a son to a father and vice versa cause that’s what it is. But they are one. But they are two. It’s hard to comprehend. I been struggle to think that there is actually 2 gods. Jesus and the lord. But they are the same. But there is still 2
@@tened8530 Your confusion respecting God and Jesus is because you are unable to separate fiction from reality. The expressed belief that Jesus is the Son of God is a rather curious notion. Jesus was a Galilean peasant who apparently earned a living as a carpenter until he discovered the attraction of religion while attending a baptismal gathering on the banks of the river Jordan. From this time on he wandered from village to village, living on charity and preaching life was possible after death. He would later be executed along with two criminals. You should realise that Jesus later developed a cult following which would later become a major religion. Now if you need to believe in the existence of a god or god then you would do well to examine the behaviour and history of these alleged deitys before you decide to fall on your knees. Because you may find that the gods you pray to have feet of clay.
Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today. The earth is not 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day has not ended. Thus day 7 is a long time span, thus day 1 to 6 must be a long time span. Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is: Sunrise to sunset Sunset to next sunset Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ). We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast. Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains". Gen. 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens” The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours. Have you entered into the 7th as Hebrews 4:9-10 asks you to? Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists.
Those who ridicule and reject the possibility of The Creator God without whom 40 subatomic particles and 4 forces interact specifically to create all we see and know, have a ridiculous image of who God is in their brains,. They seem incapable of seeing a need to respect just Who He Is and what He is capable of (but uses with unimaginable restraint.)
Can we credit Confucius, Aristotle and enlightened philosophers before genesis. Aristotle actually has sections in his works called *Physics, Metaphysics, Soul, Evolution of Animals, Politics and Categories*. He was even criticized for publicizing his teachings, sorta like some other enigmatic figure.
llever Confucius & Aristotle, although brilliant & influential, are not the given reason that science could be done. When we started this in the west, it was to discover the order that God had put in place. It was believed at the time, that things were all fixed, & thus discoverable (not arbitrary). There was a renewed interest in the Greeks & Romans, & the corruption of men of power, of any stripe, were becoming easier to spot. This rebellion against the old orders, & a fervent belief in the need to connect with a higher power, caused the change. Of course there are the Voltaires of that time, but you also have Kant & a renewed interest in men who worked in dark corners of forgotten Monasteries. Information was getting out in all kinds of new ways! The middle class was forming & becoming aware of the greater fount of cloistered knowledge. So, although the ideas of those men were instrumental, to say they drove it, is to ignore the greater narrative of the times. Glory for God alone, not the King, was also prevalent. It was also more persecuted, since it came from poor men, not the wealthy, or the fast growing middle class. It is also less written of for the same reason, outside court documents. Although men like Napoleon, also used this abuse of the poor to gain favor.
@@mackdmaraI was crediting scholars whos arguements remain in modern dialogue and written before Christ. Ooh the Greeks thought everything was made from earth, fire, water, air. Silly right? But solid, plasma, liquid, gas. You have your interpretations I have mine.
llever I never said they were not important, quite the contrary. That said, the history books sight God repeated also. The Big Bang was posited by a Catholic. You cannot simply whitewash out the majority of the movement & the minor movements around it, in favor of the secular discourse that also was there. I just wanted to voice the greater narrative. I respect the views of Aristotle, I do not think you share that respect for those you speak to on the internet. You were not all wrong, but you were not all right either. Sorry it bothered you. I still hold the world made of atoms & smaller particles. Not really Aristotelian, but true. Have a great day, all the Love chum.
I'm not bothered I understand your view, I know of the priest who had to convince the Pope story. You didn't mention where you leant, atheist, agnostic, catholic?
llever They told the Pope sure. Convince is a bit strong of wording, especially since it took the accepted world view from an eternal universe to one with a beginning that was defined. The Pope welcomed the news. The atheists worried it gave to much of a reason to accept Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. That was not unfounded, but it is not a good reason to deny any scientific discovery either. Even Einstein had to wait for Hubble to clench it, before he could openly admit he put in a fudge factor to deny the Big Bang. He died a deist, not an atheist. Now as to my leaning, much of my family is Catholic, I am not. I believe God can be known & that anything short of deism requires you disregard our modern scientific understanding of what is. I personally find to much evidence goes beyond that to deny Christ. At base, Christian thought is unlike other religious thinking. Simply put, in the world & most religions, you are weighed & if found lacking, lose. This fear is what drives your achievement. It is the same at a job. In Christianity, it is the opposite. Jesus saves you, & you achieve because of the gift of salvation you have. It is motivation by Love, not fear. It does require you accept that Love. Not from men, but God. The good news is still good news, because it did not come from men.
I came to this excited that I might hear something new from the theist side. Unfortunately it became apparent very quickly that it's just another round of the usual fare
Can some please tell me if there are more christain scientists who preach about Jesus christ in a scientific way? please please, this will help me since I am schooling into the medical field which is highly critical of Jesus christ, please I need some encouragement, thanks, pretty please with suger on top
God daughter Jesus child Definitely look into James Tour, Stephen Meyer and John Lennox. James Tour may be the most irrefutable by atheists, but there are many more.
1 John 4 : 1- 4 "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God : Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh ( as a man physically and spiritually with the nature of King David.) is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus as coming in the flesh (as above )is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist (satan as the harlot.), which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."
Many scientists who now are “willing to accept theism” due to the fine-tuning of the Cosmos and in particular the genetic code of information, have a serious sticking point with the Holocaust and the horrible damage done by the Germans to the Poles and Russians. I would be interested in Dr. Ross’ response. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
@@Lagerfanny-g7e I'm not sure that "free will" would have been an acceptable excuse for those people standing in line for the gas chambers. Do you? Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
@@Lagerfanny-g7e And also, because of our fallen nature, we make the wrong moral choices often. We are capable of great evil: with the Holocaust, the awful thing about it was that the people who perpetrated it were not abused children or whatever, but normal people who had the absolute power of life and death over millions of others.
The sticking point is exactly what? Why don't others measure up to the high moral standards of the atheists? What, in atheism and evolutionary theory, would say that it's ethically bad to kill innocent people? Where, in the history of ideas, do atheists think they got the idea that we should treat others the way we want to be treated? The problem with the sticking point is that they are taking both science and ethics AS IF the Christian premises of both are self-evidently true. But they're the ones denying it, remember? Their argument seems to be that atrocity and genocide proves their atheism true.
This weekend after Mass on Saturday, I hide all my clocks, and then just lived on God's time gift of God, try one day and do not look at time, how men try to manage it. Hide your clocks. I found last night looked at the Moon light I had some idea of time.
I wonder why Jesus, Peter, Paul and Mary (in her many modern day dimension-slipping appearances) never made clear how important it was to know the universe was expanding, and why theologians before 1930 never made this prediction?
2:50 the bible stands out as the only holy book that spoke of an actual space/time beginning and of the universe constantly expanding. the bible predicted future 'big bang cosmology'. 6:13 6 ''days" of creation are 6 'YOM' aka 6 LONG PERIODS of time (not days) 7:25 god created adam and eve on YOM 6 and the texts points to a considerable passage of time between god creating adam and eve (ex months/years) 8:48 i immediately saw how genesis 1 outlined the scientific method. 9:20 the scientific method comes from the pages of the bible. 10:43 god packed the earth with as much diversity and life as possible for as long as possible so we humans could be enriched by huge treasure chest of biodeposits which screams love.
yeah that's the thing that got me. I had been praying and asking God t show me how to respond to non believing scientists and that was one of the things that got me. Humans were created on the 6th day... But time is for us - God didn't need time since there is to time with him since He is eternal. Aside from that - because He is eternal - He doesn't rush anything - so why did He rush to create everything in 6 24 hour periods. And then - we don't know how long Adam was alive before Eve... We also don't know how long they were in the Garden before the serpent deceived Eve and they sinned. We act like it all happened in a few weeks. There was no death until sin - so we don't know how long
Following the coming of the Manifestation of God, extraordinary progress occurs in the world. Reaching to the roots of human motivation, His teachings awaken in whole populations capacities to contribute to the advancement of civilization to an extent never before possible. They also inspire breathtaking achievements in all fields of human endeavour and elicit from His followers extraordinary qualities of heroism, self-sacrifice and self-discipline. Universal codes of law and institutional systems are created that bind people together in ever larger and more complex societies.
Man, we need this guy with Hamm and McArthur because the young earth/gap theory seems to be the biggest debate among Christians...other than the prosperity gospel garbage
Biblical Hebrew a small vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years. This has been checked, proven and measured with many tools and they all agree. It is not just space that came to be 13.787 billion years ago, but time also. The universe is finite and expanding. Just as the Bible stated thousands of years ago. To deny the existence of a Creator is an error.
@@MutsPub Well I'm not aware offhand of any mammals in that short a time unless you count domesticated ones like Canus domesticus, and no one would have observed it in any case, but there have been some birds, and dozens of plants and insects (shorter generation time) observed in laboratory settings.

Only problem i have with this is that creation was done in 6 literal days. The author marks this out by saying "and the evening and the morning were the second day. Think about this: if it took God 7,000 years to create earth it would not nearly be as splendid and miraculous as if He did it in 7 literal days. The book of Genesis is very clear that it was 7 literal days
Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today. The earth is not 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day has not ended. Thus day 7 is a long time span, thus day 1 to 6 must be a long time span. Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish.

Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists.
Indeed Ross lied because The Quran says " The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are expanding it" (51:47). The Quran is full of scientific miracles (I will mention some among dozens) that are not found in the bible not only that but filter out the falsifications added to the bible : for exemple the bible mentions multiple times that earth has"four corners" refering to a flat earth concept, a term never found in the Quran, plus the famous middle ages salafi scholar (lived hundreds of years ago) Ibn hazm reported the consensus among Islamic scholars that The Quran describes earth as a ball like object (with a flat surface). Now tell if this does not refer to the big bang..: Quran 21 30 "[And have not the ones who disbelieved seen that the heavens and the earth were an integrated (mass), then We unseamed them, and of water We have made every living thing? Would they then not believe?] " also in The Quran in chapter The Smoke: "Thereafter, He leveled Himself to the heaven (while) it was smoke, then said to it and to the earth, “Come up (you two) willingly or unwillingly!” They (both) said, “We come up willingly.” So He decreed them as seven heavens in two days, and He revealed in every heaven its Command. And We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, and (set Angels) preserving them. That is the determining of the Ever-Mighty, the Ever-Knowing.] " On the 8th of November, 1989, NASA launched its Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite in an orbit that is 600 km away from Earth and the effect of clouds and pollutants in the lower layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. Ten light years away from Earth, COBE sent millions of photos and information about the remnants of the smoke that resulted from the Big Bang. It was a phase of a dark smoke (!!!) that had prevailed in the universe before the heavens and the Earth were created. Although we believe that these events are far from being known to us, and will remain theories as Almighty Allah says: [In no way did I make them to witness the creation of the heavens and the Earth, neither the creation of themselves; and in no way would I take to Me the misleaders as supporters.] (Al-Kahf 18:51) Time relativity Quran " The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years." An other exemple" They challenge you ˹O Prophet˺ to hasten the torment. And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting." The Quran corrects the bible's falsifications like these ones " bible 78 65 " Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep, like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor." Or like Ross saying that bible said God took a rest from creating the World in the Quran we read " Indeed, We created the heavens and the earth and everything in between in six Days,1 and We were not ˹even˺ touched with fatigue." Exalted is Allah from all the imperfections these falsifications attributed to Him, an other bible exemple is saying God created the rainbow to remind Him as if He forget or that He was outwrestlted by Jacob peace be upon Him Exalted is Allah from all the imperfections these falsifications attributed to Him. The Quran is not a copy of the bible it's the words of The All Mighty who sent all the prophets like Noah Jacob Moses Joseph Jesus Christ Muhammad peace be upon Them All and speaking about Joseph the Quran says that the ruler at that time was a king unlike the Time of Moses while the bible claims it was a pharoe ..well know after the discovery of rosetta stone we Know that indeed The Quran is The correct One !...again.

Yom followed by a numeral is always an ordinary day. Ch 2 simply adds details to ch.1. I don,t see a long time between Adam and Eve’s creation. The cycle of sevens in the Bible begins in those 7 days of Genesis. When the 10 commandments were given we are told why, because in 6 days God created …… and again in Ex. 31:17 “for in 6 days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the 7th day He rested and was rested. The cycles of 7 continue in Lev.23 ; 25 etc.. The 1st and 7th days are important. Is Genesis History by Del Tacket is worth. Watching. There are also very well qualified Paleontologists and Geologists have good reasons to believe in a 6 day creation around 6000 yrs. ago. I really appreciate Dr. Hugh Ross but not on this subject.
Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today. The earth is not 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day has not ended. Thus day 7 is a long time span, thus day 1 to 6 must be a long time span. Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is: Sunrise to sunset Sunset to next sunset Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ). We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast. Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains". Gen. 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens” The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours. Have you entered into the 7th as Hebrews 4:9-10 asks you to? Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists.
The Bahá'í Faith teaches the essential unity of all religions. Bahá'ís believe that the founders of the world's great religions have been manifestations of God and agents of a progressive divine plan for the education of the human race. The Bahá'í Faith stresses the unity of all people and explicitly rejects notions of racism, sexism, and nationalism.
3:15 the bible says no such things! That's some very creative interpretations he's using. Certainly not justified. The bible also says there was light and plants before the Sun!!... Convinently not included in his assertation of the bible's divine scientific revelation.
@ruben metusatius I had a little trouble understanding your comment. Whilst good, I assume English isn't your native langue so i'll do my best to answer what I believe your points were. :) My point is, if the bible contains such verses which lead him to belief, it must also be noted that it contains verses that are in direct conflict with our scientific understanding of nature. For example, Genesis has plants/vegetation, day and night, and modern atmosphere prior to the Sun. Plants require photosynthesis and fresh water(which requires evaporation and rain). How can these have occurred if there wasn't yet a Sun? Hence, the order of events in Genesis 1 are incompatible with our scientific understanding of nature. Whatever that light was prior to the sun, there is no scientific evidence to the support a sun which formed after plants! To clarify my point, Hugh Ross is interpreting bible verses in way that implies they were scientific revelation. He is cherry picking and his interpretations are elaborate at best. That which disagrees, will likely be dismissed as allegorical or metaphorical, that which vaguely aligns as historical and scientific. Some of which they could have known and intuited even without a god.
You need to get his book "Navigating genesis where he explains this. Day -age sequential model takes each "day" as long periods of time because the word "day" is "yom" which allows for it and the context is clearly long periods of time. There are action verbs like "let the land produce", God Separated", "The land produced vegetation"> The yoms have verbs like "let the land produce" "let us make", be fruitful and multiply", "let the water under the sky be gathered" these are processes. John Lennox book has a good quote: "The fiats of God are uttered swiftly, but His mills grind slowly." 7 is a pattern. God is not limited to biological constraints and creation was a one time event so 7 yoms are long periods of time Agriculture is repeatable and has bio limitations so pattern is years(Ex 23:11/Lev 25:4). Ex 20:9 -11 “Six yoms you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh yom is a Sabbath Hired workers/servants worked for 6 eyars and were free from debt in the seventh year (Ex 21:2) For man its repeatable and man has short bio limits so Sabbath is 7 days Day-age solves the no plants before the sun because it uses all the bible. The sun was created when God made the Heavens and the earth in the beginning. We know from science that early earth was covered with a thick dust layer from the early bombardment so sunlight couldn’t get thru at first . Job 38:9(written before Genesis) "When i made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness". At some point the dust layer started to dissipate and the atmosphere became translucent (like a cloudy day) so you couldn’t see the sun but the rays got thru for the plants. By yom/day 4 the atmosphere was transparent so you could see the sun. After that the creation of animals that needed to see the sun for hibernation, navigation, etc were created. Gen 1:1 uses bara (strongs 1254)which was to create. Genesis 1:1 tells us, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The Hebrew phrase "the heavens and the earth" (hashamayim we ha' erets) refers to the entire universe, entire creation and everything that can be seen or has physical existence.11 This indicates the heavenly bodies -- the Earth, Sun, Moon, stars and other planets -- were created "in the beginning" prior to the six creation "days." In verse 16 the Hebrew word for "made" (asah strongs 6213) refers to an action completed in the past. Verse 16 is correctly rendered "God had made" rather than "God made." This indicates God "had made" the Sun, Moon and stars earlier than the fourth "day. Functional non sequential model also solves the no sun before plants because day 1 line up with 4, day 2 with 5 and day 3 with 6. Its general matter followed by their functions and details.
@@philotheoapolobrendon3653 Thank you for you well though out reply, I appreciate it :) I don't disagree with everything you said, although here are reason I don't find it convincing. My objection revolved mostly around the ambiguity of the text, which in turn warrants multiple interpretations. It creates a ripe environment for false pattern recognition and theological stalemate. Using Occam's razor to approach Hugh's interpretation, I find requires far more assumptions and one to ignore the local contemporary beliefs about the world from that era. Another point of contention is: The bible contains multiple creation accounts, from genesis 1, 2 Isiah and Psalms etc, which even include the creator firstly killing a see monster and accounts of a circular, flat earth despite having a Hebrew word for ball. The bible makes a great argument for a flat earth based on the text alone. The Genesis 2 and Isiah accounts also bear striking similarities to creation myths from different societies, for example the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh and the Ugarit text. So what's is more likely, do these stories by various authors compiled into the Torah represent what people then believed occurred during creation (in some case borrowing from oral legends and contemporary creation accounts), or was it revealed by Yahwee in a way that would take thousand of years to decipher and read correctly, only as a result of scientific advancement and a unconventional revisionist (arguable elaborate) interpretation. As humans we can find patterns in most things, using the bible one can make arguments for end of word dates, hidden bible codes and aliens. What I would find convincing would be revelations of scientific/mathematical formulas and theorems. But instead we have ambiguous verses which warrant multiple interpretations and verses that run entirely contrary to our scientific understating/evidence of nature. If God's intention was to convince humans of his existence using the bible to foresee scientific discoveries, which approach do you feel would have been significantly more sensible and effective: the former or later?
@@ilkayexquisite7592 It's a minor point of contention, however it can be argued that it describes a flat earth, as many Flat earth Christians do so. The passage is Isaiah 40:22: He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. This passage may reasonably be interpreted as referring to a flat circular earth with the heavens forming a dome above it. Such an interpretation is consistent with other passages of the Bible which refer to a solid firmament (Gen. 1:6-20, 7:11; Ezekiel 1:22-26; Job 9:8, 22:14, etc.). It is also consistent with the cosmology common in neighbouring cultures.
6:12 Hugh Ross limits himself to "all creation passages" and pretends it's "self contradictory from a YE perspective" - how about reading all of Biblical H I S T O R Y - and perhaps recognising some things he thought creation passages are in fact references to the Flood.
You are wrong, have your studied the Bible? Biblical Hebrew a small vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years. This has been checked, proven and measured with many tools and they all agree. It is not just space that came to be 13.787 billion years ago, but time also. The universe is finite and expanding. Just as the Bible stated thousands of years ago. To deny the existence of a Creator is an error. The Bible is the only Holly Book to tell us the universe expanding. Jer. 51:15 as it is the word of God. Unchanging physical laws: According to the Bible, the laws of physics are unchanging. In Jeremiah 33, God, speaking through the prophet, contrasts human wavering with his own immutability by referring to the “laws governing the heavens and Earth” (verse 25). Just as they remain “fixed,” as in constant and unchanging, so does God
I respect his work. It is astonishing. but I don't know why he says he didn't find about expansion in other books. For example, it is written in Koran on chapter 51, 47. The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are expanding .
The verse is out of context. Who is the "we" the verse is stating? Were multiple Gods involved? The Trinity? Mankind created the heavens? What is the context?
@@douglasjacobs882 nope . Allah prefers to say We. It is like humble way of telling instead of saying I. Indeed Allah says he is independent and has no partners.

We cannot comprehend it. It is beyond imagination. 8- it is only one, absolute truth. 9-Most powerful ( so no one is like him)

Wrong. Quran says "Do they not see that the heavens and earth were joined as one and We clove them asunder & it is We who cause them to steadily expand " So clearly you've not read Quran like do many before you whove claimed to have done so
For redemption, the 1st and 2rd laws of the thermodynamics, tell us al lot about the universe. If the universe was any smaller, it would not have rocky planets anywhere in the universe. If the universe was any large, it would all be black holes and no rocky planets. The universe is expanding, but this just means the space between galaxies is growing. Love and care are in the design of the universe. Hugh Ross as written complete books on this topic.
Such flawed reasoning within the first minute. To say that because the prevailing theory is that the universe had a beginning does not, as Ross said, imply that there was a beginner. Before humanity knew that the earth revolves around the sun everyone must have believed that God began each day anew. But we progressed and now know that each day proceeds into the next because the earth spins on its axis as it goes around the sun, producing the effect of day and night. Ross is a self described Christian, but the God he speaks of is the “God of the gaps.” That is to say, God is responsible for anything still unexplained by science. I personally find it much more likely that we have much more to learn, so that we can fill in the gaps of our knowledge without throwing our hands in the air and assuming there was any divine intervention
The finite could never comprehend the infinite. We are not concerned with how things work but why anything at all should exist. You can spend eternity trying to understand how such things work or we could just skip to the source of existence and answer the question why everything or anything exists? Such thinking that man can be the master of all things leads to them imagining they are god and we know that is blantly and observable false. You could make science your religion but it is a cold uncaring harlot. Now if you want to make interlectual pursuit your religion then start with this Jesus for it is without a doubt that his teachings have had the biggest effect on more lives than anyone else. To start with anyone else or anything else would only be seen as avoidance.

The argument from authority. He is using intuition to assume he met the creator and that an old book foretold the future which is used by a hippy to believe he has experienced the universe. He uses reason and logic when doing science. His science is reliable his intuition is not. Trying to convince us his intuition is more reliable because he studied science is fundamentally dishonest manipulation. He can demonstrate his scientific findings, he simply asserts his intuitions about religion.

I'm afraid being an astrophysicist does not protect you from believing you met the creator of the universe unless it was your own brain that created the creator. I never could manage to add a creator to the universe. To me there was always just the universe with no creator.

We have studied 20 million stars, and not one can support life as they are ALL too unstable, we are alone. The Sun is the only stable star. Of the 4,100 solar systems studied, not one looks like our solar system, able to support life. Almost all the 4,100 solar systems studied have Hot Jupiters. In normal planetary systems giant planets form beyond snow line and then migrated towards the star. A small percentage of giant planets migrate far from the star. In both types of migrations, any rocky planet like an earth is lost in these planetary migrations. Most stars do not have planets. Many stars are in bi-star systems, thus no earth-type planets. Thus we are alone. Have not found an another galaxy that can support life. Must have stable arms.
This is a most profound subject. Progressive revelation, a core teaching in the Baha’i Faith, suggests that religions are inherently one and that truth is revealed by God progressively through a series of divine Messengers. Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, and, in more recent times, the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh are a few of these beings. Bahá’u’lláh, the latest of these Messengers, explained that the religions of the world come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God. 💞
I find it funny to see very intelligent people trying to fit modern scientific perspectives into the Genesis creation account that was ALWAYS meant to be taken figuratively. It is a poem written that tells the story of a Creator God, not a literal accounting of the beginning of the universe. That's why light exists before stars, etc. The days of creation have a balance and theme (1 and 4, 2 and 5, 3 and 6 - google a chart of it). Anyone with knowledge in creative writing would instantly identify these characteristics as symbolic imagery meant to tell a story rather than historical narrative. God is the Creator who speaks and creates life. He does it with no challengers, and nothing can thwart His will. Creation is perfect and our sin has defiled it. That is the story of Creation. The rest of the bible is God's evolving process of re-creation of the universe that culminates in Revelation 22.
Everyone, no matter how smart or knowledgeable or wealthy is afraid of the unknown. Filling that void with the image of an invisible friend who is looking out for you is the remedy.
It’s dangerous to take the Bible and interpret it to fit your narrative, to think that Genesis is figurative “poetry” is crazy imo. The bible is to be taken at face value except when specifically said otherwise in scripture. The Bible isn’t meant to be some elaborate figurative puzzle, it’s meant to be a clear account of the truth behind the world as we know it.
@@FrigidHeights lol, so it absolutely makes sense that light existed before the sources of light existed? Where did you go to school? You should ask your school fees back, you wasted a lot of time and money.
@@hannesjordaan Yes, and that is consistent with scripture. In fact, God says that in the new creation there will be no sun or moon, but God himself will be the source of light.

@Miguel Cisneros , well, of course, it doesn't. But new Christians will do things like that. And so what? He's a believing Christian.
Essentially anyone who spreads the belief of God, ideally effectively, is a Prophet. Where this man is effective is he is able to convince people of science that God is real by scientific data, history, trends, and widely accepted scientific theory’s. And God works through people. So what you say is actually true lol

Till now I see GOD everywhere in HIS creation.

Thank you so so much! These past 2 months I have been struggling maintaining my faith because of some theories from where I questioned myself who is the creator of all of these, but now I know that there is proof that God is the Creator of this universe.
You are not alone! I relate to you🤗
Same here my Once friend ☺️
I recently had some trouble maintaining my faith as well. But this man, who is far more intelligent than me in science and theology, is convincing us that God exists. All Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
It's so refreshing to hear someone steeped in scientific knowledge and with such a gentle manner, express his belief in God's existence. He shares that belief with all those that simply do not question at all. Faith and science are a marriage made in Heaven. Thank you Heavenly Father for men and women of science who proclaim your existence and may You guide others towards your Light. "In the beginning there was God."
The bible says that man can learn about the existence of God through his creation. Hugh Ross follows that principle and proceeds meticulously in the pursuit of the clues that God leaves for man to discover.

I saw Hugh about 10 years ago at my church. Bought his debate dvd too. I have 10 years of post secondary education, and the Bible is a study far deeper than anything I've ever read regarding thermodynamics, electricity, or any of my other areas of training. You almost have to un learn what you knew before to open your mind up to the concept, and it works.
It is. The Bible is really an almost endlessly deep book. Anyone who really takes a deep, solid look at the Bible is going to have their minds challenged and changed by it. I find that those who have the most hostility towards the Bible invariably have only a superficial grasp of it.

"I spent 2 years going through the Bible trying to find some place where it got it wrong on predicting future scientific discoveries. Never did."
What about Psalm 104 - one of the verses that talks of stretching out the heavens - where it also says "He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved".
Anyone?
Yes. The earth is a non-rotating, stationary plane.
The Bible speaks of its width, its breadth, its shape is circular, not spherical. And, The sun makes its circuit (circle) along with the moon and stars, as they move within the firmament, right, where God placed them when he created them.
Study chapter 1 carefully. Draw pictures of what you see as you read. That’s just an idea, something I had to do to really get it.
The Bible has over 200 scriptural references to the Earth, being stationary, immovable, circular, etc.; and not one single intimation that it is shaped like a ball, or sphere.
We all know that water, when released from its container, always seeks and finds level.
We were all taught that the Earth spins on its axis at over 1000 mph! And that it rotates around the sun once a year. Northstar the nort The North Star, Polaris, does not move from where it was placed by the Lord on day one.
All the other Sun, moon, and stars rotate around Polaris.
You can video the night sky and then play it back in high speed. You’ll see for yourself.
Not true.
God placed the sun, moon, stars, and wandering stars (“ planets”) in the firmament that he created over the Earth, to separate the waters from the waters.
We were never taught this.
Did you know there is water above us? I was stunned to find this out and yet it is right there in page one of the Bible!
We were all lied to from birth. The heliocentric model of cosmology is an anti-God scheme from Satan.
Earth is geocentric. The lights in the sky are close, they are not zillions of miles away from us. They are close, and they rotate above us each on their own timeframe.
I could go on and on, but maybe this was enough to get you started looking.
It’s crazy. It’s mind blowing because of how we’ve been taught!
If you sit out to prove that the globe is real, you will end up finding the truth.
The world is flat and stationary. And beautiful.
God resides on his throne above the firmament.
He sees us all.
God bless you and keep you on your journey seeking the truth. 🙏
I have read the same verse from the Psalms and never once thought it meant God built blocks and planted the earth upon it or that the earth does not rotate upon its axis or revolve around the Sun for instance. Certainly even you can see that despite the earth's motility the laws it abides by when doing so are yet so inflexibly set that one could just as well describe the earth as being set on a foundation that cannot be moved. What is more, despite its rotation and revolution, we who are on its surface might as well be set upon an immovable platform. So yeah the Psalmist wasn't wrong to put it the way he did. I am so much guided by Job 26:7 that says God stretches the north over the empty place and hangeth the earth upon nothing. Go look it up. You've got to understand these authors were attempting to communicate complicated aspects of creation to a world not as versed in the sciences as we are today. Imagine the challenge of just that alone.
I'm sure you could debate with Hugh on this....
he did set the earth on its foundations, that isn't speaking about the universe that stretches. That is specific to our earth.
You obviously don't know that one can pick and choose which bits to take literally and which bits to take metaphorically or figuratively.
I .heard a scientist saying we put man on the moon but failed to ask who put us .on planet earth with water and such vegetation

“In Scripture, faith involves placing trust in what you have reason to believe is true. Faith is not a blind, irrational leap into the dark. So faith and reason cooperate on a biblical view of faith. They are not intrinsically hostile.” J.P. Moreland
There appears to be more than one definition of faith being used in the Bible, as the ability to trust w/o evidence is also said to be a gift from God, supposedly.
And i just recently found this guy what a find!!!
Hey the man gives good arguments and good facts
The King James tells the reader that the "Days" are not literal days , right after the creation passages it says " These days are the generations of the creation " !!!!!!!! It is telling the reader that the days are long periods of time !!!!!

I still couldn't see how the Pope could have more answers about the universe than the rest of humanity.
He doesn't!
The infallible one arrested Galileo for stating that the earth revolves around the sun!
The Catholic Church held this view for about 200 years (multiple Pope's) ~1600 - 1820's(?). They did not fully let go of the idea until ~1982(?)
Now, they take "no position" on the issue!
They were maid out to be idiots for centuries!
Infallible - pfffttt!
With all due respect if the Pope doesn’t read the Bible he may have very little answers to lots of issues just like everyone else. 🤷♀️ Christians and Catholics as individuals were asked to take the Bible as God’s word, not follow individuals currently on earth with titles who think they know best. It’s definitely concerning if someone asks the Pope to be taken as the man with more answers.
the bible instructs us to follow God, not man, not any man...Pope included
I was hoping to find a debate between him and Bill Nye so I could watch Nye squirm. I have watched Hugh debate astrophysicist and young earth scientist Dr. Jason Lisle and it seemed they both had good points. Im not sure which one I fall into yet but so far I go old universe and young earth so I guess Im a hybrid. As long as Christians do not let this seperate us and deflect the main message of the gospel then I think the debates between Christians are good
Nye would eat him for lunch, no contest.

Well, if a scientist debates a philosopher, the scientist will likely have a harder time debating as they work off studies and research, and not a study of philosophy and philosophers, which often asks questions we can't answer definitively.
I was drawn to JESUS through a Gideon New Testament King James Authorized Version Bible! HALLELUJAH! 🎺💃🥰
I'd said, "If I had a Bible, I would read it and see if there's a GOD, or if it's all just a fairytale." My Sister Vita had a Bible in her purse! I began reading, and she went to sleep. In the middle of the night Vita sat up and said, "Pam, JESUS touched me." So the LORD touched my Sister when was atheist, and full of hate too! I thought I was lost because I'd read in her Bible that one would be taken and the other left. But JESUS washed me as I read that KJV NT...and wept, for TWO WHOLE DAYS! I had fallen in love with JESUS! Then the LORD led me to John 16:24 where He taught me how to pray! I prayed, "FATHER touch me in the name of JESUS!" With that prayer on CHRISTMAS EVE in 1972, PAPA GOD sent HOLY GHOST very sweetly and gently down into my heart! GLORY! I woke up CHRISTMAS MORNING, BORN AGAIN! HALLELUJAH! 🎄❤️✝️❤️🎄

It is quite fascinating to view Hugh Ross, saying that Jesus is the creator god of the Universe,
when the Gospels present a quite different Jesus. Notably: "I can of mine ownself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me" John 5:30 (KJV)
And in Acts 3:13- we find "God has glorified his servant Jesus"
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Matthew 24:36 (KJV)
Read John 1
Ah the mormon posts!
You do realise that Jesus is the son.
But then you need to realise Jesus is god.
But he is the son .
But he is god.
That makes 2 gods. Because Jesus is a man and has a soul and a body of flesh.
He is the son
But he is god.
So how would he talk to him self.
Like a son to a father and vice versa cause that’s what it is.
But they are one. But they are two.
It’s hard to comprehend.
I been struggle to think that there is actually 2 gods.
Jesus and the lord.
But they are the same. But there is still 2

Your confusion respecting God and Jesus is because you are unable to separate fiction from reality. The expressed belief that Jesus is the Son of God is a rather curious notion. Jesus was a Galilean peasant who apparently earned a living as a carpenter until he discovered the attraction of religion while attending a baptismal gathering on the banks of the river Jordan. From this time on he wandered from village to village, living on charity and preaching life was possible after death. He would later be executed along with two criminals.
You should realise that Jesus later developed a cult following which would later become a major religion. Now if you need to believe in the existence of a god or god then you would do well to examine the behaviour and history of these alleged deitys before you decide to fall on your knees. Because you may find that the gods you pray to have feet of clay.
@@edwardlongfellow5819 that’s your opinion but that’s baseless. Jesus life and death was prophecy fulfilled.

7:05. Some theorize that there is no rest cause that’s when eternity starts
Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today.
The earth is not 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day has not ended. Thus day 7 is a long time span, thus day 1 to 6 must be a long time span. Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is:
Sunrise to sunset
Sunset to next sunset
Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ).
We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast.
Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains".
Gen. 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens”
The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours.
Have you entered into the 7th as Hebrews 4:9-10 asks you to?
Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists.
Those who ridicule and reject the possibility of The Creator God without whom 40 subatomic particles and 4 forces interact specifically to create all we see and know, have a ridiculous image of who God is in their brains,. They seem incapable of seeing a need to respect just Who He Is and what He is capable of (but uses with unimaginable restraint.)

Can we credit Confucius, Aristotle and enlightened philosophers before genesis. Aristotle actually has sections in his works called *Physics, Metaphysics, Soul, Evolution of Animals, Politics and Categories*. He was even criticized for publicizing his teachings, sorta like some other enigmatic figure.
llever
Confucius & Aristotle, although brilliant & influential, are not the given reason that science could be done. When we started this in the west, it was to discover the order that God had put in place. It was believed at the time, that things were all fixed, & thus discoverable (not arbitrary). There was a renewed interest in the Greeks & Romans, & the corruption of men of power, of any stripe, were becoming easier to spot. This rebellion against the old orders, & a fervent belief in the need to connect with a higher power, caused the change.
Of course there are the Voltaires of that time, but you also have Kant & a renewed interest in men who worked in dark corners of forgotten Monasteries. Information was getting out in all kinds of new ways! The middle class was forming & becoming aware of the greater fount of cloistered knowledge.
So, although the ideas of those men were instrumental, to say they drove it, is to ignore the greater narrative of the times. Glory for God alone, not the King, was also prevalent. It was also more persecuted, since it came from poor men, not the wealthy, or the fast growing middle class. It is also less written of for the same reason, outside court documents. Although men like Napoleon, also used this abuse of the poor to gain favor.
@@mackdmaraI was crediting scholars whos arguements remain in modern dialogue and written before Christ.
Ooh the Greeks thought everything was made from earth, fire, water, air. Silly right? But solid, plasma, liquid, gas. You have your interpretations I have mine.
llever
I never said they were not important, quite the contrary. That said, the history books sight God repeated also. The Big Bang was posited by a Catholic. You cannot simply whitewash out the majority of the movement & the minor movements around it, in favor of the secular discourse that also was there. I just wanted to voice the greater narrative.
I respect the views of Aristotle, I do not think you share that respect for those you speak to on the internet. You were not all wrong, but you were not all right either. Sorry it bothered you. I still hold the world made of atoms & smaller particles. Not really Aristotelian, but true.
Have a great day, all the Love chum.
I'm not bothered I understand your view, I know of the priest who had to convince the Pope story. You didn't mention where you leant, atheist, agnostic, catholic?
llever
They told the Pope sure. Convince is a bit strong of wording, especially since it took the accepted world view from an eternal universe to one with a beginning that was defined. The Pope welcomed the news. The atheists worried it gave to much of a reason to accept Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. That was not unfounded, but it is not a good reason to deny any scientific discovery either. Even Einstein had to wait for Hubble to clench it, before he could openly admit he put in a fudge factor to deny the Big Bang. He died a deist, not an atheist.
Now as to my leaning, much of my family is Catholic, I am not. I believe God can be known & that anything short of deism requires you disregard our modern scientific understanding of what is. I personally find to much evidence goes beyond that to deny Christ. At base, Christian thought is unlike other religious thinking.
Simply put, in the world & most religions, you are weighed & if found lacking, lose. This fear is what drives your achievement. It is the same at a job. In Christianity, it is the opposite. Jesus saves you, & you achieve because of the gift of salvation you have. It is motivation by Love, not fear. It does require you accept that Love. Not from men, but God. The good news is still good news, because it did not come from men.
I came to this excited that I might hear something new from the theist side. Unfortunately it became apparent very quickly that it's just another round of the usual fare
4:11 lolz that gave me chills
Can some please tell me if there are more christain scientists who preach about Jesus christ in a scientific way? please please, this will help me since I am schooling into the medical field which is highly critical of Jesus christ, please I need some encouragement, thanks, pretty please with suger on top

1 John 4 : 1- 4 "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the
spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets
have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit
of God : Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in
the flesh ( as a man physically and spiritually with the nature of King
David.) is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus as
coming in the flesh (as above )is not from God. This is the spirit of
the antichrist (satan as the harlot.), which you have heard is coming
and even now is already in the world."
So what was your point?
Fascinating.... SCIENCE...!
Many scientists who now are “willing to accept theism” due to the fine-tuning of the Cosmos and in particular the genetic code of information, have a serious sticking point with the Holocaust and the horrible damage done by the Germans to the Poles and Russians.

@@Lagerfanny-g7e And also, because of our fallen nature, we make the wrong moral choices often. We are capable of great evil: with the Holocaust, the awful thing about it was that the people who perpetrated it were not abused children or whatever, but normal people who had the absolute power of life and death over millions of others.
The sticking point is exactly what?
Why don't others measure up to the high moral standards of the atheists?
What, in atheism and evolutionary theory, would say that it's ethically bad to kill innocent people?
Where, in the history of ideas, do atheists think they got the idea that we should treat others the way we want to be treated?
The problem with the sticking point is that they are taking both science and ethics AS IF the Christian premises of both are self-evidently true. But they're the ones denying it, remember?
Their argument seems to be that atrocity and genocide proves their atheism true.

I wonder why Jesus, Peter, Paul and Mary (in her many modern day dimension-slipping appearances) never made clear how important it was to know the universe was expanding, and why theologians before 1930 never made this prediction?

yeah that's the thing that got me. I had been praying and asking God t show me how to respond to non believing scientists and that was one of the things that got me. Humans were created on the 6th day... But time is for us - God didn't need time since there is to time with him since He is eternal. Aside from that - because He is eternal - He doesn't rush anything - so why did He rush to create everything in 6 24 hour periods. And then - we don't know how long Adam was alive before Eve... We also don't know how long they were in the Garden before the serpent deceived Eve and they sinned. We act like it all happened in a few weeks. There was no death until sin - so we don't know how long
Makes perfect sense, eh?
The logos of which God the jews and Muslims believe in a creator. But Jesus as the logos that was with God and was God, then it became a human being.

Reaching to the roots of human motivation, His teachings awaken in whole populations capacities to contribute to the advancement of civilization to an extent never before possible. They also inspire breathtaking achievements in all fields of human endeavour and elicit from His followers extraordinary qualities of heroism, self-sacrifice and self-discipline. Universal codes of law and institutional systems are created that bind people together in ever larger and more complex societies.

Biblical Hebrew a small vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years. This has been checked, proven and measured with many tools and they all agree. It is not just space that came to be 13.787 billion years ago, but time also. The universe is finite and expanding. Just as the Bible stated thousands of years ago. To deny the existence of a Creator is an error.

Only problem i have with this is that creation was done in 6 literal days. The author marks this out by saying "and the evening and the morning were the second day. Think about this: if it took God 7,000 years to create earth it would not nearly be as splendid and miraculous as if He did it in 7 literal days. The book of Genesis is very clear that it was 7 literal days
You read the book of Genesis in English, but it was written in Hebrew.

Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists.
2:50 ''the only holy book which spoke about universe creation and expanding" The Quran too talks about this...
Indeed Ross lied because The Quran says " The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are expanding it" (51:47). The Quran is full of scientific miracles (I will mention some among dozens) that are not found in the bible not only that but filter out the falsifications added to the bible : for exemple the bible mentions multiple times that earth has"four corners" refering to a flat earth concept, a term never found in the Quran, plus the famous middle ages salafi scholar (lived hundreds of years ago) Ibn hazm reported the consensus among Islamic scholars that The Quran describes earth as a ball like object (with a flat surface). Now tell if this does not refer to the big bang..: Quran 21 30 "[And have not the ones who disbelieved seen that the heavens and the earth were an integrated (mass), then We unseamed them, and of water We have made every living thing? Would they then not believe?] " also in The Quran in chapter The Smoke: "Thereafter, He leveled Himself to the heaven (while) it was smoke, then said to it and to the earth, “Come up (you two) willingly or unwillingly!” They (both) said, “We come up willingly.” So He decreed them as seven heavens in two days, and He revealed in every heaven its Command. And We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps, and (set Angels) preserving them. That is the determining of the Ever-Mighty, the Ever-Knowing.] " On the 8th of November, 1989, NASA launched its Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite in an orbit that is 600 km away from Earth and the effect of clouds and pollutants in the lower layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. Ten light years away from Earth, COBE sent millions of photos and information about the remnants of the smoke that resulted from the Big Bang. It was a phase of a dark smoke (!!!) that had prevailed in the universe before the heavens and the Earth were created.
Although we believe that these events are far from being known to us, and will remain theories as Almighty Allah says:
[In no way did I make them to witness the creation of the heavens and the Earth, neither the creation of themselves; and in no way would I take to Me the misleaders as supporters.] (Al-Kahf 18:51)
Time relativity Quran " The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years." An other exemple" They challenge you ˹O Prophet˺ to hasten the torment. And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting."
The Quran corrects the bible's falsifications like these ones " bible 78 65 " Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep, like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor." Or like Ross saying that bible said God took a rest from creating the World in the Quran we read " Indeed, We created the heavens and the earth and everything in between in six Days,1 and We were not ˹even˺ touched with fatigue." Exalted is Allah from all the imperfections these falsifications attributed to Him, an other bible exemple is saying God created the rainbow to remind Him as if He forget or that He was outwrestlted by Jacob peace be upon Him Exalted is Allah from all the imperfections these falsifications attributed to Him. The Quran is not a copy of the bible it's the words of The All Mighty who sent all the prophets like Noah Jacob Moses Joseph Jesus Christ Muhammad peace be upon Them All and speaking about Joseph the Quran says that the ruler at that time was a king unlike the Time of Moses while the bible claims it was a pharoe ..well know after the discovery of rosetta stone we Know that indeed The Quran is The correct One !...again.

Dear Mr Ross where's my Saturn poster?
Yom followed by a numeral is always an ordinary day. Ch 2 simply adds details to ch.1. I don,t see a long time between Adam and Eve’s creation. The cycle of sevens in the Bible begins in those 7 days of Genesis. When the 10 commandments were given we are told why, because in 6 days God created …… and again in Ex. 31:17 “for in 6 days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the 7th day He rested and was rested. The cycles of 7 continue in Lev.23 ; 25 etc.. The 1st and 7th days are important.
Is Genesis History by Del Tacket is worth. Watching. There are also very well qualified Paleontologists and Geologists have good reasons to believe in a 6 day creation around 6000 yrs. ago. I really appreciate Dr. Hugh Ross but not on this subject.
Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today.
The earth is not 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day has not ended. Thus day 7 is a long time span, thus day 1 to 6 must be a long time span. Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is:
Sunrise to sunset
Sunset to next sunset
Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ).
We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast.
Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains".
Gen. 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens”
The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours.
Have you entered into the 7th as Hebrews 4:9-10 asks you to?

3:15 the bible says no such things! That's some very creative interpretations he's using. Certainly not justified.
The bible also says there was light and plants before the Sun!!... Convinently not included in his assertation of the bible's divine scientific revelation.
@ruben metusatius I had a little trouble understanding your comment. Whilst good, I assume English isn't your native langue so i'll do my best to answer what I believe your points were. :)
My point is, if the bible contains such verses which lead him to belief, it must also be noted that it contains verses that are in direct conflict with our scientific understanding of nature.
For example, Genesis has plants/vegetation, day and night, and modern atmosphere prior to the Sun. Plants require photosynthesis and fresh water(which requires evaporation and rain). How can these have occurred if there wasn't yet a Sun?
Hence, the order of events in Genesis 1 are incompatible with our scientific understanding of nature.
Whatever that light was prior to the sun, there is no scientific evidence to the support a sun which formed after plants!
To clarify my point, Hugh Ross is interpreting bible verses in way that implies they were scientific revelation. He is cherry picking and his interpretations are elaborate at best. That which disagrees, will likely be dismissed as allegorical or metaphorical, that which vaguely aligns as historical and scientific. Some of which they could have known and intuited even without a god.
You need to get his book "Navigating genesis where he explains this.
Day -age sequential model takes each "day" as long periods of time because the word "day" is "yom" which allows for it and the context is clearly long periods of time. There are action verbs like "let the land produce", God Separated", "The land produced vegetation"> The yoms have verbs like "let the land produce" "let us make", be fruitful and multiply", "let the water under the sky be gathered" these are processes. John Lennox book has a good quote: "The fiats of God are uttered swiftly, but His mills grind slowly."
7 is a pattern. God is not limited to biological constraints and creation was a one time event so 7 yoms are long periods of time
Agriculture is repeatable and has bio limitations so pattern is years(Ex 23:11/Lev 25:4).
Ex 20:9 -11 “Six yoms you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the
seventh yom is a Sabbath
Hired workers/servants worked for 6 eyars and were free from debt in the seventh year (Ex 21:2)
For man its repeatable and man has short bio limits so Sabbath is 7 days
Day-age solves the no plants before the sun because it uses all the bible. The sun was created when God made the Heavens and the earth in the beginning. We know from science that early earth was covered with a thick dust layer from the early bombardment so sunlight couldn’t get thru at first . Job 38:9(written before Genesis) "When i made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness". At some point the dust layer started to dissipate and the atmosphere became translucent (like a cloudy day) so you couldn’t see the sun but the rays got thru for the plants. By yom/day 4 the atmosphere was transparent so you could see the sun. After that the creation of animals that needed to see the sun for hibernation, navigation, etc were created.
Gen 1:1 uses bara (strongs 1254)which was to create. Genesis 1:1 tells us, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The Hebrew phrase "the heavens and the earth" (hashamayim we ha' erets) refers to the entire universe, entire creation and everything that can be seen or has physical existence.11 This indicates the heavenly bodies -- the Earth, Sun, Moon, stars and other planets -- were created "in the beginning" prior to the six creation "days."
In verse 16 the Hebrew word for "made" (asah strongs 6213) refers to an action completed in the past. Verse 16 is correctly rendered "God had made" rather than "God made." This indicates God "had made" the Sun, Moon and stars earlier than the fourth "day.
Functional non sequential model also solves the no sun before plants because day 1 line up with 4, day 2 with 5 and day 3 with 6. Its general matter followed by their functions and details.
@@philotheoapolobrendon3653 Thank you for you well though out reply, I appreciate it :)
I don't disagree with everything you said, although here are reason I don't find it convincing.
My objection revolved mostly around the ambiguity of the text, which in turn warrants multiple interpretations. It creates a ripe environment for false pattern recognition and theological stalemate. Using Occam's razor to approach Hugh's interpretation, I find requires far more assumptions and one to ignore the local contemporary beliefs about the world from that era.
Another point of contention is:
The bible contains multiple creation accounts, from genesis 1, 2 Isiah and Psalms etc, which even include the creator firstly killing a see monster and accounts of a circular, flat earth despite having a Hebrew word for ball. The bible makes a great argument for a flat earth based on the text alone.
The Genesis 2 and Isiah accounts also bear striking similarities to creation myths from different societies, for example the Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh and the Ugarit text.
So what's is more likely, do these stories by various authors compiled into the Torah represent what people then believed occurred during creation (in some case borrowing from oral legends and contemporary creation accounts), or was it revealed by Yahwee in a way that would take thousand of years to decipher and read correctly, only as a result of scientific advancement and a unconventional revisionist (arguable elaborate) interpretation.
As humans we can find patterns in most things, using the bible one can make arguments for end of word dates, hidden bible codes and aliens.
What I would find convincing would be revelations of scientific/mathematical formulas and theorems. But instead we have ambiguous verses which warrant multiple interpretations and verses that run entirely contrary to our scientific understating/evidence of nature.
If God's intention was to convince humans of his existence using the bible to foresee scientific discoveries, which approach do you feel would have been significantly more sensible and effective: the former or later?
@@darryldempsey7273 The bible does not say that the earth is flat.
@@ilkayexquisite7592 It's a minor point of contention, however it can be argued that it describes a flat earth, as many Flat earth Christians do so.
The passage is Isaiah 40:22:
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
This passage may reasonably be interpreted as referring to a flat circular earth with the heavens forming a dome above it. Such an interpretation is consistent with other passages of the Bible which refer to a solid firmament (Gen. 1:6-20, 7:11; Ezekiel 1:22-26; Job 9:8, 22:14, etc.). It is also consistent with the cosmology common in neighbouring cultures.
6:12 Hugh Ross limits himself to "all creation passages" and pretends it's "self contradictory from a YE perspective" - how about reading all of Biblical H I S T O R Y - and perhaps recognising some things he thought creation passages are in fact references to the Flood.
What?
@@djsarg7451 What do I need to unpack? The concept that the Bible in many books outlines an unbroken history?

You are wrong, have your studied the Bible?
Biblical Hebrew a small vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years. This has been checked, proven and measured with many tools and they all agree. It is not just space that came to be 13.787 billion years ago, but time also. The universe is finite and expanding. Just as the Bible stated thousands of years ago. To deny the existence of a Creator is an error.
The Bible is the only Holly Book to tell us the universe expanding. Jer. 51:15 as it is the word of God.
Unchanging physical laws: According to the Bible, the laws of physics are unchanging. In Jeremiah 33, God, speaking through the prophet, contrasts human wavering with his own immutability by referring to the “laws governing the heavens and Earth” (verse 25). Just as they remain “fixed,” as in constant and unchanging, so does God
I respect his work. It is astonishing. but I don't know why he says he didn't find about expansion in other books. For example, it is written in Koran on chapter 51, 47. The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are expanding .
The verse is out of context. Who is the "we" the verse is stating? Were multiple Gods involved? The Trinity? Mankind created the heavens?

Where did god come from? Is he eternal?
If he is eternal, couldn’t the universe and time also be eternal? I thank anyone who can give me insight into these questions.

Physics for redemption?
For redemption, the 1st and 2rd laws of the thermodynamics, tell us al lot about the universe. If the universe was any smaller, it would not have rocky planets anywhere in the universe. If the universe was any large, it would all be black holes and no rocky planets. The universe is expanding, but this just means the space between galaxies is growing.
Love and care are in the design of the universe. Hugh Ross as written complete books on this topic.
Such flawed reasoning within the first minute. To say that because the prevailing theory is that the universe had a beginning does not, as Ross said, imply that there was a beginner. Before humanity knew that the earth revolves around the sun everyone must have believed that God began each day anew. But we progressed and now know that each day proceeds into the next because the earth spins on its axis as it goes around the sun, producing the effect of day and night. Ross is a self described Christian, but the God he speaks of is the “God of the gaps.” That is to say, God is responsible for anything still unexplained by science. I personally find it much more likely that we have much more to learn, so that we can fill in the gaps of our knowledge without throwing our hands in the air and assuming there was any divine intervention
The finite could never comprehend the infinite. We are not concerned with how things work but why anything at all should exist. You can spend eternity trying to understand how such things work or we could just skip to the source of existence and answer the question why everything or anything exists? Such thinking that man can be the master of all things leads to them imagining they are god and we know that is blantly and observable false. You could make science your religion but it is a cold uncaring harlot. Now if you want to make interlectual pursuit your religion then start with this Jesus for it is without a doubt that his teachings have had the biggest effect on more lives than anyone else. To start with anyone else or anything else would only be seen as avoidance.

The argument from authority. He is using intuition to assume he met the creator and that an old book foretold the future which is used by a hippy to believe he has experienced the universe.
He uses reason and logic when doing science. His science is reliable his intuition is not.
Trying to convince us his intuition is more reliable because he studied science is fundamentally dishonest manipulation.
He can demonstrate his scientific findings, he simply asserts his intuitions about religion.
You simply assert your intuitions based on your religion.

But what if these predictions come not from God but From Extraterrestrials that has Contacted us thousands of years ago?
We have studied 20 million stars, and not one can support life as they are ALL too unstable, we are alone. The Sun is the only stable star. Of the 4,100 solar systems studied, not one looks like our solar system, able to support life. Almost all the 4,100 solar systems studied have Hot Jupiters. In normal planetary systems giant planets form beyond snow line and then migrated towards the star. A small percentage of giant planets migrate far from the star. In both types of migrations, any rocky planet like an earth is lost in these planetary migrations. Most stars do not have planets. Many stars are in bi-star systems, thus no earth-type planets. Thus we are alone.
Have not found an another galaxy that can support life. Must have stable arms.
This is a most profound subject. Progressive revelation, a core teaching in the Baha’i Faith, suggests that religions are inherently one and that truth is revealed by God progressively through a series of divine Messengers.
Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, and, in more recent times, the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh are a few of these beings. Bahá’u’lláh, the latest of these Messengers, explained that the religions of the world come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God. 💞

I find it funny to see very intelligent people trying to fit modern scientific perspectives into the Genesis creation account that was ALWAYS meant to be taken figuratively. It is a poem written that tells the story of a Creator God, not a literal accounting of the beginning of the universe. That's why light exists before stars, etc. The days of creation have a balance and theme (1 and 4, 2 and 5, 3 and 6 - google a chart of it). Anyone with knowledge in creative writing would instantly identify these characteristics as symbolic imagery meant to tell a story rather than historical narrative.
God is the Creator who speaks and creates life. He does it with no challengers, and nothing can thwart His will. Creation is perfect and our sin has defiled it. That is the story of Creation. The rest of the bible is God's evolving process of re-creation of the universe that culminates in Revelation 22.
Everyone, no matter how smart or knowledgeable or wealthy is afraid of the unknown.
Filling that void with the image of an invisible friend who is looking out for you is the remedy.
It’s dangerous to take the Bible and interpret it to fit your narrative, to think that Genesis is figurative “poetry” is crazy imo. The bible is to be taken at face value except when specifically said otherwise in scripture. The Bible isn’t meant to be some elaborate figurative puzzle, it’s meant to be a clear account of the truth behind the world as we know it.
