not any more than any other theory on the Big Bang. Notice, I didn't say it was fact did I? I was just throwing a little something to think about. No diff than anyone else does. It's ok as long as it's not from the Bible though, eh?

I would like to add that your personal experiences prove nothing to me. |
I don't know why christians do that. If they had any understanding of scripture at all they would know better. Experiments are proven by theory. Maybe an accepted theory, rarely actual fact, usually not, though still believed, whether because of consistency or any other formula, it makes not diff. It's still often just theory believed. Everyone has faith in something. My personal experiences are not supposed to mean anything to you, and I never said they should, in fact, I have said they shouldn't.

Well, that's one reason why, but usually it's just people not knowing holistically what the Bible actually says in plain simple language, and not interpreting in in context.

This is completely wrong and shows how much you know about how the Bible came about, language, culture, and history fact.

Prophecies are all but clear and concise. You know, Nostradamus and a lot of ancient texts predicted the 9/11. Quote:

Many are very clear and concise. Nostradamus was not a biblical prophet he was not 100% accurate. There's that accusation about the bible being wrong again without proof.
