Hello Everyone. I am very open to comments about my views. Please be polite.
Personally, I have a hard time believing in the Bible word for word. I think it was a God inspired, much needed, response for why we are here and where we came from. A simple response for simple people. Not saying at all that the people of that time were emotionally simpler, just that their knowledge base was certainly not up to our present form. I believe in the Big Bang Theory. I also believe this in no way makes me not a faithful person. I believe that God gave us the power of science to figure out things on our own. Had God explained the Big Bang thousands of years ago, the people would in no way have the knowledge base to understand it. Which is why he told them exactly what they needed to hear. My reasoning is as follows: The big bang was the beginning of creation for all that we know. It set everything in motion up to now and in the forever future. The theory is practically proven. But what made the big bang happen?? I believe God made it all happen. It could have been a snap of his finger or just a thought that set it all off. Something has to be the bigger power out there. Space comes to an end somewhere and it’s God that is holding the sphere in the palm of his hand.
I believe the Bible was also used as a way of lawless governing. The governing authorities liked the book because it’s believers would generally “do the right thing” without the need of forceful governing. Any thoughts?
