      Sorry, check your bible and try again. It says the firmament is a glass dome (the atmosphere is not a dome, it is also a sphere) with holes where the light of heaven shines through (nope, those are stars) and the where the “waters above” (that don’t exist, we looked ) drip through as rain (wrong again, rain comes from clouds), it says the sun and moon are inside the dome (not even close) and that they are the same size (waaaaay wrong !), etc., etc., etc. Try reading the stupid thing before you use it to defend against a position it clearly favours. My point stands.

    Yeah, I was unfortunately one of those poor children who heard stories and songs like this all the time growing up, and I just regurgitated them without thinking, because that was all I knew. It didn't help that I was "rewarded" by my family for regurgitating this sort of stuff with encouraging words and praise for sticking to my beliefs. So yeah, I was a very dogmatic person for most of my early life and into highscool. Luckily, I started questioning things and looking at what science was saying and I realized that what my church and family had been telling me all my life just doesn't add up. I have a friend I made in highschool, who was questioning things way before I was, to thank for pulling me out of my dogmatic existence and into the mindset of learning and being amazed at all the process of the world around me.

More and more Catholics accept that their understanding of how God created the world is not complete as we can’t even fathom what a day is for God. It could be billions of years for all we know. I won’t deny that there are issues with the Catholic Church, but this day, evolution isn’t really one of the. In fact, I’ve had a Catholic friend tell me that if someone they dated said the didn’t believe in Evolution, it was a dealbreaker.
      On the of chance you are a Catholic, your experience is very different than mine. However, I feel like you should know that being Catholic takes more than just going to church. It’s a cultural way of living and there are steps to being able to fully participate in all parts of the mass. You can be a scientist and Catholic, compared to some other variations of Christianity I’d say it’s easier to be both a scientist and a Catholic. So, don’t go knocking on people just cause they don’t fit your idea of what a Catholic should be. It’s a religion with a long complicated history, with admittedly dark parts of its past, but it’s survived as long as it has because like many things on this planet, it has “evolved”.

The bacteria would die and breed extremely quickly so over the course of ten days they would make it across the board. The only catch was that there was anti-bacteria in different quantities along the board. The bacteria starts without any resistance and moves on to an extremely low concentration of biocide. Eventually a line of bacteria will grow resistant and start going further. The amount of anti-bacteria increases exponentially until it reaches 100x the concentration that was at the start, and the bacteria made it all the way across in like 10 days.

    I went to a Christian school and I had a class where the teacher would use the exact same arguments against evolution. At the end we had to write a reflection about what we learnt in class (so he knew we were paying attention) and I wrote about exactly how every one of his arguments were wrong, catalogued by each week of class. I got a 20% because “I obviously didn’t listen in class or I would’ve realized that he was right”.
    90% of the kids in that class all believed the teacher completely and years later they are still going around believing in the flawed info that was taught to them in that school.

    Because I was a shy kid I didn't push forward on how that didn't really answer anything and changed my question to rockets flying. The answer to that was " because of the force".
    They all thought I was stupid for asking such "simple" questions and 1 kid came and asked me if I was alright.
    1st year in engineering school and 1 of the profs said there aren't many stupid questions, as an example he said that he wouldn't be able to answer how birds fly because it so complicated. I thanked him and told him my story. He said that if the the answer was simply wings that people could just put on a pair of wings and fly.

      The question of why birds can fly is indeed complicated, but it’s partially because they have hollow bones, so very very light skeletal structures. Humans would not be able to fly even with proportionally sized wings because our skeletons are too heavy.
      And different birds fly in different ways, so yeah, it’s a lot of info that can’t be easily summarised. A hummingbird flies very differently from a condor, for example. And flying insects are different again.

      It's all a out the tune, not the message ...
      Maybe that is due to growing up in a non-English speaking country?

      He then said, that I'd probable like it more if I would (being a child, school being bad etc.).

      If I like the tune or the lyrics rhyme in a way I like (irrelevant if I understand them now or if I don't), then I find the song catchy or good.
      Regardless of what the meaning of the song is.
      It doesn't mean that I would recommend a song though, if I know what it is about and the message either sucks or is even going completely against my views ...

Anything you can possibly think of, he's capable of this on the highest level..." "Oh, well can't he just murder billions, send people to Hell and do the most horrific things just because he wants to have fun? Technically, he would be able to, but he also has infinite love for us..our minds can't comprehend his limits because everything has limits to us on earth..he loves us more than anyone could ever love us, and that is why he doesn't just slaughter us in spite.." How could a God of love kill people and send them to Hell...I don't want to be apart of that!!" Well first of all we live in a fallen world..this means that we decided to sin and separate ourselves from God..EVERY person who ever lived (Besides Jesus) this is why natural disasters happen, wars, murder, disease. This all was the effect of our sins. How do we know God exists..he is not of this world so we can't just put him in a beaker, stir him around and say, "Here's proof!"
      The evidence is nature itself.. Everything in the entire universe points to nature. DNA, cosmic bodies, the mind, even the dirt that we are standing/sitting on. Let me ask you this question...how can a mindless process end up with VERY VERY complex organisms.. "BiLlIoNs oF YeArs!!" That's not how it works..life comes from previous life.. to say that chemicals and non-organic matter created simple organisms over time rejects the rules of nature. Yes, technically chemicals and non-organic matter take part in creating new life..but to create an entire organism from scratch with non-organic matter involved at all is impossible..Let me ask you this...what is the origin of the universe? If you think it has always been here..there is overwhelming evidence against that like an expanding universe, and a possible heat death in the future..if you say there was a big bang that came out of nothing and created everything including extremely complex life that is next to impossible to come from non-organic matter..why don't other things come out of nothing..why is there one exception to that rule?
      "My theory" is based on God's word, the Bible...the Bible is very complex..I said before, no one has all the answers to it..and that makes it sound that for anything we can't prove we just say, "Oh, have faith..I can't prove it so I'll just say that not everything is explainable" there are tons of unexplainable things in science as well
      To say there is "NO" supporting evidence to "My theory" is utterly ridiculous..there is an overwhelming amount of evidence to support it. The FACT that the Bible has not been disproven in thousands of years of history is evidence..with over 40 different authors and a span of about 4500 years of written history, the Bible is truly amazing..this is why I believe what I believe..let me know if you have any questions..thank you!

      @@ShadowMageYT Evolution is an observation. There is so much evidence in favour of it that it is treated as a scientific fact. The theory is natural selection, that evolution (which we have observed) is caused by selective pressures caused by the environment. This is a well supported and robust theory. And no, it's not our job to disprove the bible. It's your job to provide supporting evidence for it. We have our supporting evidence, this was outlined in the video you're replying to. Take your pick of the fossil record, genetic phylogeny, genetic fossils, convergence or homology, all this strongly supports evolution by natural selection. We can't disprove the bible. It's inherently unfalsifiable. That's why the burden of proof is positive and goes to the person making a claim. We have our strong supporting evidence for evolution by natural selection, where's yours for the bible? It's not good enough to say it hasn't been disproven, the idea that I farted the universe into existence last Saturday and all your memories with it hasn't been disproven and can't be. It's obvious that can't be our standard.
      Limitless powers are also inherently self contradictory. The age old meme example is "could god cook a burrito so hot he couldn't eat it". While an obviously stupid example, it raises a point on the inherent cyclical and contradictory nature of theoretical omnipotence. Limitless powers should allow a god to create impossible and contradictory scenarios. We know the god of the bible is omnibenevolent, omnipotent and omniscient, this should mean that god wants to irradiate evil, knows how to irradiate evil and has the ability to irradiate evil. To pre-empt the counterargument, free will. This is where the infinitely hot burrito comes in. If god is truly omnipotent he should be able to create a universe where free will does not conflict with the irradiation of evil. Even if those two statements are contradictory, if he can't do it there is a limit to his power. He can't break contradictions. If he can break contradictions then something else clearly doesn't add up.
      Also, I have no problems wrapping my head around something that's always existed. I have no reason to doubt that in some form the universe has always existed. Time and space as concepts may not have, but the universe existed before the big bang. This is something that's generally agreed upon. We have no idea what the state of the universe before the big bang could have been, because the event obscures any current methods we have of viewing before it, but we're reasonably certain the universe didn't come from nothing. There's some hypotheses but there's really no reason to give any of them any more weight than god right now.
