God and Time

Yet another piece in the Enquirer against the Creation Museum.

It's dawned on me that of the things that gets both religious and non religious people in trouble is the concept of time.

You see, God is infinite, Alpha and Omega, beginning and end. When God stretches out time line for infinity, humans are the only ones with a want or need to define time.

So what exactly is the concept of a day when compared to infinity?

I think religious people distance non believers when they try to impress upon them that the earth is only 6,000 years old. Especially, in the face of so much scientific evidence. Remember, that a day in earth time is a complete spin of the earth's axis so when God said "let there be light", there was know way of measuring a day because there was no earth, let alone, a spin of the earth's axis. So how is it we have a day.

At the same time, atheists and scientific types keep missing the "science" of creation. I would challenge them to dictate how long a day is in the face of infinity.

Porkopolis has a really good analysis of all the sciences that needed to occur just to build the Museum. He conveniently, uses the term science when discussing things like the "science" of thermal dynamics. It is in fact scientific law, not a theory, like evolution.

Once again, Evolution is a theory. The scientific types get all high and mighty about their faith in a theory, which is absolutely no different than one's faith in God. They believe without any discernible proof and no ability to prove the theory under any circumstance.

Once again, I still stunned at how many people seem to be offended by the museum. If it's as fictitious as many of them believe would they be as offended by the world's largest ball of twine. I mean how do you prove that it's the world's largest ball of twine? Has science dictated that it's the world's largest ball of twine? If people started thinking that this was God would they be just as offended?
