Quote by: Tycoon God's being eternal does not prove that he exists in any way, shape, or form. If you refuse to accept the fact that Genesis is an obvious contradiction of science then how about the story of Adam and Eve, and the creation of humanity? Adam created from dirt? Eve created from one of his ribs? Obviously disproven by the theory of evolution.

There's lots about the bible that I don't understand, but I don't think it's the bible that's at fault.

When there are such obvious contradictions with logic I see no reason to continue to cling to the rest of the bible's teachings. Perhaps you think if you stop believing you will go to Hell? I'll give you a hint. If you stop believing you won't have to worry about Hell at all. Besides, according to almost all Christian teachings you're going there anyways.

I believe because it resonates as truth to me. It's hard to explain, but it's something I feel.

I don't claim to have proof that God exists.

Yet famous physicists and other scientists have still kept their faith in God. I don't think it's irrational to believe that there's something else out there. We know so very little about the universe.

I'm sorry to say, but in attempting to prove that Genesis doesn't contradict science you're only creating more contradictions. Day and night would have no meaning without anything to define them (i.e. the Earth and the Sun). Therefore the planets and the stars were created before day and night. It also defies the Big Bang theory.

That's how we define day and night - 24 hour periods in relation to the sun. but according to Genesis, that's not how the terms were used in that passage.
