Earth created in 6 days then humans? Dinosaurs?

Now we can move on to this:

Ancient muscle tissue extracted from 18 million year old fossil

So of course the position has to be - soft tissue can survive for long periods. It is as simple as that. Or is it?

Thank you buffalo. As I’ve maintained, the long ages are not that long.

Peace,

The Catholic Church invented the scientific method- a Catholic priest invented the big bang theory. The Church encourages science to reveal the secrets of God’s universe and His work of Creation.

The book of Genesis tells us why God created us, it is not intended to tell us how.

Well-said

The Bible is not a science textbook; it speaks of things that sciences today address (such as the origins of the universe) but it doesn’t treat them in a scientific fashion. The Bible wasn’t meant to; the Bible gives us the backstory that set the stage for Christ’s coming, the Gospel stories of some of Christ’s key deeds on earth, and the immediate post-Gospel events concerning some of His most important followers. Everything in it is subject to God’s instruction; we understand anything in the Bible only as a result of God teaching it to us.

In the end, it doesn’t matter if the earth was made in seven days or seven million years, or if humans and dinosaurs coexisted or existed separately. What matters is the here and now, obeying God through His Church, and seeking to draw closer to Him in this life. True science can do nothing but confirm the hand of God in all things.

That comment is speculative and not based on Church teaching.

The time we use is Government time. Is time measured in Heaven?

 

[Malkin71]

It isn’t a history book? The Israelites in Egypt? Did that actually happen?

Peace,
Ed

The Bible is History!

 

[Malkin71]

Do you believe Eve was formed from Adam’s side?

Peace,
Ed

Yes! I do! Can you prove that it did not happen!

 

[Malkin71]

I would like to  see that sample.  Soft tissue cannnnnn't survive for one hundred years.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

They found a Wolly Mamonth!

Yes, you are free to beleive what ever you want and stll be a great Roman Catholic. My opinion is that the Bible Story is mostly leading mankind to the salvation of Jesus Christ, The Holy Bible is to me a book of insprition not of history or sceince. Yes god could have made the wod just as you say in sex days and rested on the seventh. I personally think he used the free-will of nature to elolve these things under His guidance, but , what do I know.

So, You are saying the Bible is a Story and none of it is real? Did you ever hear of Biblicial Archeology Review? It is a group of Archelogists who prove the Bible!

 

[Malkin71]

I beleived under God;s guidance, life evolved on earth. I beleive that mankind, the human being was a special creation of God, I used the ‘‘transfiguration’’ example of creation from another animal instead of a piece of dirt, perhaps 50,000 years ago. Moses wrote these stories told to him about 10,000 years ago.What is truly remarkable is the accuracy of the story.
The way it was explained to me a large comet hit our planet and placed it into the orbit it has mostly now, the hit tore 1/3 of earth away, scattering bits and peices of earth into the air, due to gravativity, these pieces were pulled together and formed the moon, and it all took place in the period of one month. the moon and the earth are actually twin planets which rotate around each other, that is why we only see one side of the moon from earth.
Non of this has anything to do with the Catholic Church It really doesn’t matter what happened or how it happened. The bible story tells us of God’s love for us and how He brought all of these things to us.

Do you have any proof of that the Earth and Moon are “TWIN PLANETS and THEY REVOLVE AROUND EACH OTHER”? I have not heard THAT ONE! What is the Moon Planet name? I have heard all things about the moon… but, not that!

 

[Malkin71]

You can be a practicing Roma Catholic and believe in the ‘‘big bang’’
I always thought that all life came from the sea, under God guidance.
The Human being God created from dirt or a ‘‘transfirgered’’ animal recieved an immortal soul
Animals have a mortal soul, everything we see and touch have the presence of God in them too.
The earth is exactually in the best position for human life. We have searched the known universe and have found very few planets that may support life. Our bllue planet is unique, we are alone, its just us, we must take good care of God’s planet.
The moon rotates as it rotates around the earth and around the sun., this is all of Gods plan for us, The moon controls our tides and winds and helps keep us in orbit around the sun. This is all part of the ‘‘big bang’’

It is no accident for the Earth to be in the best position for human life. The Big Bang could not have created that. Nor could it create plants and food for consumption!

A pair of ducks? male or female? Well, I believe that God used His angels to help Him create animals and insects and bugs and things. The chicken could have been created first and then laid the egg or the angel could have fashioned the egg to hatch to form the first chicken. but we would have to have two, a chicken and a roster,but should have a bunch of chickens for the roster, but back to the egg.
You really need a chicken to lay on the egg to have it hatch, soo, you must have a chicken first. My guess, is that the creating angel helper of God made a bunch of chickens, and one roster, lucky cock, and let nature do the rest.
Wouldnnn’t it be funny if God created a whole tribe of Humans at the same time and not just one man and one rib for the lady. ahahahhha

Admit it. You do not know. There is a saying, from “Our Lord” “You should not put the Lord your God to the Test!”

It matters very much. Do you believe Eve was formed from Adam’s side by God? Do you believe there were humans before Adam? And if so, who were they? Human origins has a tremendous effect on how we perceive ourselves and others.

The Church teaches that Adam and Eve were real people. Were the first. But it does not deny the theory of E.

Was Eve formed from Adam’s side by God? Yes or no. Science has no business changing the truths contained in the Bible.

Well put. Has all the makings a of new creed. lol

Amen, you are free to believe that, but if you ask your parish priest he may tell you that the Roman Catholic teaching is that the strict 24 hour day is not held by the church

Men and women have the same number of ribs. Religion has no right to chance science

Adam and Eve?
The creation stories are stories of how Almighty God created a man and a woman, our first parents, and what they did and how they served God, by naming the animals. The single parent story has been sustanciated by modern science by our common DNA. We are all related, we all have the same parents, we all are brothers and sisters. How we got here is a mystery, the rest is history.

The Human Genome Project has shown that humans are 99.9% the same and very different from animals. Humans are all related.

The Church does not [any longer] teach that Adam and Eve were real people. In particular “Scientific Insights into the Evolution of the Universe and of Life”, published by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, makes one metaphorical reference to Adam and Eve, and follows by saying “It is not that there ever was a single male from whom we all descend, an Adam; but Y chromosomes descending from those of other men who were living at the same time as Adam have no descendants left today”, (p296) and point out that according to the genetic evidence “If one were tempted to infer that this is proof that the Bible section on Adam and Eve was right, one would be very disappointed to learn that Adam may have lived about 125,000 years ago, and Eve 175,000 years ago.” The Vatican’s astronomer has even gone so far as to call Creationism “a kind of paganism”.

Pius’s 1950 encyclical “Humani Generis” was deprecated or at least heavily modified by John Paul II’s October 22, 1996 address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences:

“In his encyclical Humani Generis (1950), my predecessor Pius XII has already affirmed that there is no conflict between evolution and the doctrine of the faith regarding man and his vocation, provided that we do not lose sight of certain fixed points…Today, more than a half-century after the appearance of that encyclical, some new findings lead us toward the recognition of evolution as more than a hypothesis.”

In a July 2004 statement endorsed by then Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI), the International Theological Commission wrote:

“According to the widely accepted scientific account, the universe erupted 15 billion years ago in an explosion called the ‘Big Bang’ and has been expanding and cooling ever since. Later there gradually emerged the conditions necessary for the formation of atoms, still later the condensation of galaxies and stars, and about 10 billion years later the formation of planets. In our own solar system and on earth (formed about 4.5 billion years ago), the conditions have been favorable to the emergence of life. While there is little consensus among scientists about how the origin of this first microscopic life is to be explained, there is general agreement among them that the first organism dwelt on this planet about 3.5 - 4 billion years ago. Since it has been demonstrated that all living organisms on earth are genetically related, it is virtually certain that all living organisms have descended from this first organism. Converging evidence from many studies in the physical and biological sciences furnishes mounting support for some theory of evolution to account for the development and diversification of life on earth, while controversy continues over the pace and mechanisms of evolution.”

What does the church thing about dinosars? they were around 160 million years ago and this happend. news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100304/sc_nm/us_dinosaurs_asteroid my qustion is, if God put humans on the earth by the end of the week of the very first few days of the earth…ummm were humans around when dinosaurs were two? or does the church teach that the earth was not literly made in 7 days but thats only a metaphore or something? if theres anything in the bible that i find contradicting , its this…what do you think?

Please understand that the days actually meaning DAYS was established by heretics and later supported by protestant Christian denominations - NOT CATHOLICISM! the use of ‘days’ is associated to stages. Not actual 24 hour period that you are used to presently. If you actually study science and the theories formation of the world (as well as the theories to the formation of the universe), there are stages towards the actual creation; universe, Earth, water/atmosphere, creatures, etc.

Are we not unwooly mammals too? I always thought that dinosaurs were lizards not animals!
Isn’t that funny, I really don’t kknow what I’m talking about.Sorry, I will leave now.
