some points concerning science and the Bible

[wel_mel_2]

Bismillah:

Thanks. Give me some time for most of your questions...


Let me first address the points concerning the creation of the earth. I whole heartedly believe in a literal 6 day creation (6 24 hour periods). There are volumes and volumes written about this from a firm scientific standpoint.


You said, "Scientists now know that 6 day creation isn't possible." - Hold it for a second. Scientists <b>DON'T</b> know this. I could spend hours and hours talking to you about Creation Science.

i forgot to tell you in my last post that there there are certain people who say that the six days mentioned in the Bible it actually refers to epocs - like the Qur’an long periods - not six, 24 hour day. It is however illogical - you read in the Bible, evening, morning - It clearly states 24 hours, But even if I accept this for the sake of arguments, no problem. I agree but yet you will only be able to solve the 1st scientific error of 6 days creation, and second, of first day ‘light’ and 3rd day ‘earth.’ The remaining four, yet you cannot solve. but if i agree with you that ‘it is a 24-hour period, why cannot the vegetables survive for one 24 hour day without sunlight?’ I say ‘Fine - If you say that the vegetables were created before the sun, and can survive for one 24-hour day, I have got no objection. <b>But you cannot say the days mentioned are 24 hours as well as epochs</b>. <b>If you say it is long period, you solve Point No.1 and 3, the remaining 4 are yet there. If you say the days are 24 hours day, you solve only Point No.5 - the remaining 5 are yet there - It becomes unscientific.</b> I leave it to you to choose, whether you want to say… ‘It is long period’, and say that there are only 4 scientific errors - or say… ‘It is a 24 hour day’, and say there is only 5 scientific errors in the creation of the universe.
