+4. That is an easy question to answer and please, I am being deadly serious in my answer. I believe that God has always existed because He tells us this in His Word. God describes Himself as the Alpha and the Omega which is saying He is the beginning and the end. God said it, I believe it. You know I love the big bang theory. I believe God said let there be light and BANG there was the Universe.

Because they'd rather worship a book than deal with reality.

The whole reason to come up with an idea like creationism is to try to make observed evidence fit the words of the Bible's creation story. So it is small wonder creationist believe the God has always existed, but the universe was created, because that's what the Bible says happened.

I think the creationists' goal is to believe at least 10 unbelievable things a day. It is all part of the magical thinking process that seem to grip the U.S. and U.K. I think that some people just think they aren't smart enough for science and others tend to knuckle under to authority. It is ironic in a lands proud of their freedoms. It is just possible that some people can only handle small bits of freedom. If overloaded they duck under authority, in this case the bible.

well in my case as we are sure of nothing the best is what we do know . gods are not proven . and all the god stories to date are sure lies . so they what to beileive in the shuit they have invented insted of searching reality

That is a good question. They ask where life cam from, if not god, and then say that it must have come from him, because something cannot come from nothing. Yet they give their god a hall-pass for this rule, he need not adhere to it. It amazes me how otherwise intelligent people can convince themselves that this is credible.

They like magic?

The problem they have is trying to squeeze the Universe and everything in it into one badly written book. It's a huge philosophical error. The book was written by men in a Universe that had existed for billions of years already. They just didn't know any of this at the time. If I was a creationist I'd claim that the Universe is god and vice versa and have done with it. Just don't tell me that Mary got shagged by a meteor!

Skeptics have been trying to find positive proof that the Bible is false for 2000 years. Funny how they keep finding proof that support its content. The earth could not support life if the sun, the moon or any specifics of our planetary system were altered by the slightest amount. All just indeterminate chance, ha! Just the miracle of 1,000,000 cells finding their exact 1,000,000 cell counterparts to form the complexity of the human eye. Just a thought. Everything we enjoy in our modern lives was created by someone, why so bizarre to think that the magic of the universe had a creator also. I think there is a parody that says if the universe was created all by chance it would be equivalent to a room full of monkeys banging on typewriters and eventually composing a Shakespearean play.

100% of creationists would hold that position.

Hi If something shows aging, then it could not of always exsisted, it would have died an eternity ago!! Do you see??,, Our universe and everything in it shows age, but God dose not!!

You're not trying to find rhyme or reason with anything that these unevolved apes have to say, are you?

My answer, like many of my answers, will cause some downrates. I'm fine with that, just leave a reason and we can discuss. When dealing with science and religion, we have to understand that they work together and they always have. We can't compare all aspects of one to the other or vice-versa. Comparing math to literature usually comes up with some outrageous arguments as well. We need to apply logic and understanding. Try to follow me here. We know for scientific fact that energy can neither be created nor destroyed according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy. That being said, any energy that exists has always existed in one way or another. That being said, Scientists want to say that there was nothing then there was a big bang and all mass/matter/energy came from that point and evolution/the universe started there. This is where we see a relatively large contradiction in a pure science world. If all energy has always been, how could there have been a time before the big bang? That being said, the big bang either never happened, or happened through a force outside of scientific reasoning. Evolutionists can not stand up on a theory that the big bang never happened. Unfortunately, that's what we must believe in order to believe in Conservation of Energy. Science is a very factual very useful tool in understanding the universe and the world around us. It does not logically allow for the big bang however since my very life energy and yours existed before the bang. I think that people need to stop arguing "Science vs God" and start realizing that, if God exists, He created science, and if He doesn't, science remains unchanged. You can't use one to prove or disprove the other. Again, it's like using Math to prove Literature or Music to disprove History.

The idea that the universe is not eternal is one idea that Creationists and modern astrophysists agree upon. Both groups agree that the universe has NOT always existed but was created at one point in history. Georges Lemaître (1894–1966), a Belgian Catholic priest and professor of physics and astronomy, proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre Here is a nice simple explanation of the Big Bang Theory which is currently the most accepted scientific theory of the origin of the universe: http://www.socyberty.com/Philosophy/The-Big-Bang-Theory-Simplified.212433 The Big Bang theory lends support to the idea of creation by God ex nihilo ("out of nothing"). With love in Christ.

I would be among the people targeted by this question, so let me give it a shot at answering it... Observable science teaches us that everything comes from something... That would be the Laws of Conservation and Energy... Nothing is really "created," only remolded, or shaped or formed, etc... But wait, this sounds like an infinite universe... Your right, it does... Because I believe it is... All the matter and energy that was there a long time ago, is the same stuff that is here today... No new stuff, just rehash of the old stuff... So now I am left with the question, where did the old stuff come from? Because Matter and Energy are bound by natural law, Just as everything else is bound by natural law... To me, it is just too convienent that "pop-scientists" can saw tote up high laws when it is beneficial for them, but not apply them when it is not... So what do I believe? In steps an Enity (that being God, Jehovah-jireh, Elohim, etc...) That is supernatural in the true sense of the word, that created the natural world... That is why I can claim that God does exist, has existed, and will always continue to exist... He is not bound by natural law, because he is above it... Hope this is clear...

Creationists do not have critical thinking skills. The contradictions that their silly claims produce, like the one you cited, never occur to them. When you cite those contradictions, they are literally unable to comprehend them and immediately default to their programming.
