well heres my view... So there are only three options concering how the world was created 1) The world was never created and has aways been here ( the world is eternal) 2) The world "created" itself (something from nothing) 3) Or something created the world (God imo) The problem with option number one is that the world is not eternal, and therefore could not have created itself. For something to be eternal "always been here" it cannot change, and the world changes everyday. Futhermore, the earth is losing its "energy" i.e changing(therodynamics is complicated but feel 2 pm if u want 2 know some more about it). Since something that is eternal cannot change we know that we world cannot have always existed as it is changing now. Option number is what most people call evolution. I really have no problem with evolution except for the fact that it is IMPOSSIBLE for something to come from nothing. And if you want to go down the "there was energy, or little atoms, or whatever else at the begining of the world" then i ask you where did that come from? We know that from the first option those atoms can not have always been there, or else they could have have changed (evolved) Well as i see it, since there are only 3 options and the first two have been proven false, by defalt we could accept number 3. However, the problem that most people have about option number 3 is "Where did God come from?" Even as a Christian it is a hard thing for me to understand and even harder to explain, and imo takes some faith to believe in. Since NOTHING has to be created can be eternal then God has got to "just always been there." These "arguments" for creationism are just the tip of the iceburg when it comes to talking about how the world began, and Id be happy to discuss it in futher people who might be interested in what i said. Dont get me wrong folks. I'm in no way against evolution, and i think that it could be the way God created the world. However, I believe that if evolution did occur it was because God created the "first substances" that sparked evolution. I wrote this really fast and my ideas my not be laid out clearly, so please in a nice way post on something that might be unclear and ill try to make it make sense. O and again feel free to pm me with any questions you might have about what i just said :wink: . [/u]
