    However what exists in this universe exists regardless of who knows about it. I would say science itself ought to cover everything that is in existence even the supernatural. That is why materialistic science is flawed because they refuse to include the one true God that created everything they are seeking to discover through their tests and observations.

    This thread is getting nuttier and nuttier. Pour chocolate on it and call it a Snickers Bar.

    Might rethink that...
    John 5:17 Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."

    Yes the heavens were created (stretched out like a scroll) then the earth was completed after the beginning in 6 literal time periods..

    The seventh day God rested from creation.....but that was "past" on the seventh day.
    So God is still working to this very day. Example, if any man be in Christ he is a .....catch this.....New Creation.

    God rested on the 7th time period from creation. Therefore God is not creating anything else. Old earthers would argue we are still in the 7th day of rest, Heb 4.

    No where does it say God rested on the 7th time period. Peter wrote about it all being burned up in the end and rolled back as a scroll. So how long would that take? Another million years?? Nope!

    In 6-24 hr days. The Bible doesn't need to bow down to modern secular scientist. http://www.gty.org/Blog/B100706

    The bible does not bow to secular scientists, never did. Even apart from science yom does not necessarily refer to a 24 hour day period, therefore the bible happily supports the old earth model just as I inferred in the "beginning".

    Because of the advancement in telescope technology we absolutely can observe the big bang. We see the light from it's explosion traveling still. We also can see that the universe is expanding and using the speed of light and distance we can observe the beginning right now. Astronomers can literally observe the big bang right now. No one was there yet in a way we are there right now.

    We see stars in our sky right now that have not existed for millions of years. We see the light they put off long ago still traveling to us.

    Google this info. It is easily confirmed.

    I think I'll wait a while before I believe that part. Observing past time sounds too far fetched and whether that can be done with any precision??

    And "scientists" carbon dated living snails at 2,300 and 27,000 years old (http://www.weneedice.com/articles Has carbon dating.html), so I'm not gonna believe them on the so-called big bang.
