I mean, do you think God created the world in 7 days?

This is a common mistake profane people do. And I'm talking about both sides here.

The Genesis is a story made of metaphors, it is not literal. When it is written that Eve and Adam ate the apple, it doesn't mean that there was indeed a secret garden and two human beings ate an apple. NO!The apple represents our sins.

Just like the fact that the "7 days" thing is a beautiful tale that mirrors the Big band theory and gives a stupid explanation as to why we have 7 days in a week. It is so simple to get yet some just don't do any effort.

I get that now.

My question is.... do you believe the 6 days thing?

I believe nothing in the Bible. The little that I do believe as far as religion is from my own mind and observations.

The whole purpose of a God is for you to believe there is one. It's a test. And what happens to the poor children? Their sent as tests for other humans. These are angels, their innocent children who suffer right now, but they go straight to heaven.

Everything bad that happens in the world, its all a test/sign from god. You just have to belive. And as for the scientists, theres no way "Evolution" created this whole damn world. What? A paper had sex with a flower and a tree was born? Oh please....

I want to believe this. But it is like telling the ones who suffer everyday "take all that ****, it doesn't matter because you are going straight to heaven along with some rich people that did good. Although they had a pretty good life."

It was a point I was making about the mistake in saying that "evolution created the world". Obviously, the bible isn't intended to be taken literally.

Now, if God is in complete power, why does he even allow such evil things to exist?

Not literally

Now how about you tell me what caused the Big Bang?

There isn't a god connected to any Earrthly religions. If there is a god-like being, which there very well may be, it is nothing like the way described in Earthly religions because we'd have no way of knowing.

Rewarding God for the good things but blaming Man for the bad?
If God is in control, he's responsible for everything.
The Good and the Bad.

God never get credit for the good things done then,only the bad.

Good is not responsible for everything.God is the Good and the devil is the Bad.
We have some freedom in our actions. if I come late at an important business meeting,l am not going to blame God because l woke up late.

Same. I refuse to think of starving children as "a test." Ends do not justify means there. I know that's a super simplistic way of looking at it, but I think people get what I mean.

I don't believe in all of the things that are written in the bible either. But there is some parts that I use.

Let's make it clear, I am not here to give you proof that God exists or to make you believe. It is your choice, I don't play that game.

But I already answer that question a few pages back. Humans allow evil things to happen not God.

God is omnipresent through space and time.

So about the Big Bang...

Well, the entire universe started at a very hot, dense state. Very, very small.

Now, say that this... dense state... was practically ready to expand to be a larger (and not that dense) state...

I'm not a scientist, and I'm not by best in Science, but that's the start of my understanding of it.

It exploded. All of the density that once was this very small, hot speck expanded, and spread out. After time, the gas clouds and dust all began to settle, cool and slow down. Planets, galaxies, etc all formed, and were (are) still moving apart, at an increasingly slowing pace.

Now, where did God come from?

Now, I'm pretty damn sure Lucifer came into existence before humans did.

I really don't understand this.
You won't blame God but you will blame the Devil?

It's a test... God is testing us if we will worship him or not... By using devils...


It stills my opinion... And you have yours.
