Quote by: Tycoon  Almost everything has a scientific explanation. The creation of the Earth has a perfectly sound scientific explanation that completely contradicts the Genesis area of the bible. Some people choose to ignore this contradicition and cling to their belief of God. If the very first part of the Bible is false, what reason is there to believe any of it is true? |
The bible says that the earth was created within a matter of days, but this isn't literal, 24 hours days. It's a metaphor, a place holder for an amount of time. God is outside of time and space, where God exists, there is no time.

Why would I give up partying and having sex with my girlfriend for years just so I can read the Bible and worship God?

Why indeed.
I haven't given up partying and sex. I don't do hard drugs anymore, and I'm in a monogamous relationship. I don't think that being Christian means not having fun, or being in love.
Also, I believe in evolution, and I see no conflict between this and my belief in God. I've always found science fascinating. Yes God created all the creatures in the world, and evolution was how he did it.
