'Proof' That Christianity is False

[Drox]

If good is all powerful.

 

Why the fuck did he spend 6 days creating earth...?

 

Couldn't he just create it in a sec?

 

That wouldn't be a very interesting bed time story, now would it?

[CuяlyQu™]

Fun Fact: Sunday is the first day of the week. Saturday is the true Sabbath day but unfortunately the catholics like to do things their own way... you know, like claiming a flesh and blood human being is God on Earth?

You're assuming we've had the same Calender since the dawn of time lol since god could have rested on any of those days;

 

After this modification, the Christians had taken over the plan of the seven-day week from the Jews. In 321 A.D. Constantine, having earlier converted to Christianity, signed an act making the seven-day week legal throughout the Roman world. He thereby combined two unlike systems of dividing the year; the seven-day week of the Jews, and the 12 months already in use by the Julian calendar.

 

The Angles and Saxons of northern and western Europe had a calendar similar to the Egyptian one, with five named days left over at the end of the year. They brought this five-day 'week' to England from across the North Sea about 400 A.D." (Irwin, 107) The Christian missionaries, who were sent out from Rome to convert these "barbarians," added two more names to these five, giving their seven-day week the weekday names we still use today.

 

These week names are Anglicized versions of important deities among the Norse, Gothic, and Germanic groups:

 

Tuesday - Tiwsday or Tiwesdaeg. Tyr, god of war ("daeg" means day).

Wednesday - Wodensday or Wodnesdaeg. Norse god Odin, or Wodin. Tyr's father.

Thursday - Thorsday or Thunresdaeg. Thor, Norse god of Thunder.

Friday - Frigsday or Frigedaeg. Norse goddess Freya. Wife of Odin, mother of Thor. Named a day after her lest she be jealous and work evil upon them.

Saturday - Seternesday or Saterdaeg. Norse god Seterne; also the Roman god Saturn who presided over the sowing of the seed. His festival was Saturnalia, December 17. Because of the wildness of the revels during the festival the name has come to mean a time of wild revelry and tumult. (Douglas, 681-682)

The two days added by the missionaries were:

Sunday - Sunnandaeg, from "sunnan" meaning sun. It is regarded as a name surviving from ancient sun worship. As the Resurrection of Christ occurred on the first day of the week the early Christians began to assemble for worship on that day instead of on the Jewish Sabbath, which is Saturday.

Monday - Monandaeg or Moonday. The moon was worshipped as the wife of the sun, among other things. (Douglas, 681)

Things like these can always be changed over time, so it's almost impossible to say what day something happened over 2000-3000 (When jesus died and rise from the grave) and 10,000 (When most think god created the world) years ago.

how about we kill the extremists on the far left and the extremists on the far right and live somewhere in the middle.

There is one simple fact that the Earth is more then 10k years old;

 

The oldest rocks which have been found so far (on the Earth) date to about 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago (by several radiometric dating methods).

 

The Age of the Earth

 

Also, another thing that no-one has bothered to argue against;

 

According to the Bible dinosaurs never happened.

According to answersbydipsh- I mean answersbygenesis.org..

 

The story we have all heard from movies, television, newspapers, and most magazines and textbooks is that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. According to evolutionists, the dinosaurs “ruled the Earth” for 140 million years, dying out about 65 million years ago. However, scientists do not dig up anything labeled with those ages. They only uncover dead dinosaurs (i.e., their bones), and their bones do not have labels attached telling how old they are. The idea of millions of years of evolution is just the evolutionists’ story about the past. No scientist was there to see the dinosaurs live through this supposed dinosaur age. In fact, there is no proof whatsoever that the world and its fossil layers are millions of years old. No scientist observed dinosaurs die. Scientists only find the bones in the here and now, and because many of them are evolutionists, they try to fit the story of the dinosaurs into their view.

Other scientists, called creation scientists, have a different idea about when dinosaurs lived. They believe they can solve any of the supposed dinosaur mysteries and show how the evidence fits wonderfully with their ideas about the past, beliefs that come from the Bible.

The Bible, God’s very special book (or collection of books, really), claims that each writer was supernaturally inspired to write exactly what the Creator of all things wanted him to write down for us so that we can know where we (and dinosaurs) came from, why we are here, and what our future will be. The first book in the Bible—Genesis—teaches us many things about how the universe and life came into existence. Genesis tells us that God created everything—the Earth, stars, sun, moon, plants, animals, and the first two people.

Although the Bible does not tell us exactly how long ago it was that God made the world and its creatures, we can make a good estimate of the date of creation by reading through the Bible and noting some interesting passages:

God made everything in six days. He did this, by the way, to set a pattern for mankind, which has become our seven day week (as described in Exodus 20:11). God worked for six days and rested for one, as a model for us. Furthermore, Bible scholars will tell you that the Hebrew word for day used in Genesis 1, can only mean an ordinary day in this context.

We are told God created the first man and woman—Adam and Eve—on Day Six. Many facts about when their children and their children’s children were born are given in Genesis. These genealogies are recorded throughout the Old Testament, up until the time of Christ. They certainly were not chronologies lasting millions of years.

As you add up all of the dates, and accepting that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to Earth almost 2000 years ago, we come to the conclusion that the creation of the Earth and animals (including the dinosaurs) occurred only thousands of years ago (perhaps only 6000!), not millions of years. Thus, if the Bible is right (and it is!), dinosaurs must have lived within the past thousands of years.

 

What a load of bonk.

Time to put this little "rumor" to shame, since this whole thread is pretty much based around it. We're going to have a nice little language lesson with the Hebrews as the center of it. In Genesis, the Hebrew word that's used is yom. Yom has 3 different translations, each a different length of time. First, it is a time period of 12 hours (sunrise to sunset for example). Second, a 24 hour time period (from sunset to sunset for example.) Lastly, it also means it could be an extremely long (if not indefinite) period of time.

 

Now, let's examine what Genesis says about the creation story, using these three definitions. First, if it was a 12 hour period, a daytime reference. Genesis 1:5, both daytime and nighttime, can't be that. How about the 24 hour reference? Genesis 1:11-12, the plants grew. But the key point isn't that the plants grey, but that God (clearly) said the Earth brought forth it's own fruit... It wasn't "commanded", or "magically" just appearing, it used the earths life cycle. The earth obviously didn't grow its own fruit systems in 24 hours.

 

So how do we conclude that? There's really only one conclusion that can be made, and that everyone that takes the story literally is a dumbass. Only the third definition of the word yom fits the story, which is that it took a very long time, and unspecified amount of time. Can that be 65 million years ago? Yes. Can it be 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago? ...Yes. Does that mean dinosaurs can exist, and us be happy with them? Does that also mean that it works perfectly with the creation story that dinosaurs could roam around for a billion years before humans came around? You bet your ass, I love dinosaurs.

 

Fun fact: The big bang was actually proposed by a Catholic, a priest at that. :]

I know the Big bang was proposed by a Catholic Priest.
