You accept that God came of nothing

ok show me the evidence of the big bang. as for evidence of God. try reading the bible sometime, and you will see countless stories and prophicies that are true..
can't you see that there has to be a desigener for all of the life on earth? let me include an analogy....say u have a watch, or a car. you know it is there, but where is the designer? you know there has to be a designer.
no, i know that God has always been. He is not subject to time. time for Him does not exist. although it can be tough to understand, that is what i believe.

About 15 billion years ago a tremendous explosion started the expansion of the universe. This explosion is known as the Big Bang. At the point of this event all of the matter and energy of space was contained at one point. What exisisted prior to this event is completely unknown and is a matter of pure speculation. This occurance was not a conventional explosion but rather an event filling all of space with all of the particles of the embryonic universe rushing away from each other. The Big Bang actually consisted of an explosion of space within itself unlike an explosion of a bomb were fragments are thrown outward. The galaxies were not all clumped together, but rather the Big Bang lay the foundations for the universe
if I proved to you that God existed and the bible was true, would you change your lifestyle?
well what determined that it was necessary? I thinks its necessary to have wings so I can fly, but I havent grown wings yet.

in response to the austrialia question. the animals living in australia today were probably at the front of the migration flock that left Noah's ark.
as you probably know koalas are not very aggressive animals,
so when other animals came to occupy their space, say in Asia, as a result, they kept migrating south.
the water levels were much different after the flood, and if there were polar ice caps, whcih i believe there were, then some of the water in our oceans today were from those ice caps. this would mean some of the land covered today by water, was availible for the animals that live in australia to walk across.

This still doesn't account why australia does not get a mention in the bible.. or why aborigines did not believe in god.. and why they have no record of Noah.
if you look in the bible, especially with moses, the people saw that God was there with them and yet decided to build a golden calf and worship it. that doesnt make a lot of sense now does it?
you are making the assumption that they existed before noah did.
do they have a legend of the golden age?, cuz almost all cultures do.
noah didnt rescue every animal, he rescued two of every KIND of animal.
and how did they date those rocks they found that dinosaur in?
How did dinosaurs end up inside rocks that are millions of years old if they were rescued by Noah 6000 years ago? Did he travel back in time before humans even existed?
the bible says that God made everything in SIX days, that would include dinosaurs.
The Bible tells us that God brought the animals to Noah before the flood. God caused the animals to walk to the ark. Noah didn't have to take out any time to go and find the animals. God took care of that part, because it was a big deal to Him to have all the kinds on the ark.

Actually they can be. How can you talk about the nature of koalas when you are obviously completely ignorant about them?

Do you even know what native means? Koalas never existed in Asia.

where is the proof that it was 40-60 thoooousand years ago? i would really like to know. and how do you know that there wasnt one around 4400 BC?

Did you ever think that the gum trees germintaed in what is now australia today, after the flood?
yes i do know that they can be agressive,
along with almost all animals, but i mean they sleep up to 19 hours a day.
how agressive can an animal be while its sleeping?
and some animals arent as agressive as others. take a lion and a dove for example. a 4 year old could tell you which one is more agressive.
they might not have lived there, but they might have migrated through asia on their way to australia. did you ever think of that?

thats the thing about evolutionists, everything is circa thousands and thousands of years, or millions and millions of years. time is not the answer to everything.
but what do u think about the contintental shelves riley?
how do you think the animals of australia got there? i would like yo see how you think they got there.

has anyone every seen a star form? we have seen them explode, but never form. interesting
its much simplier to say that God created the earth

but that doesnt explain why there are opposite orbits around the same planet or star.
does the origin of the solar system violate the "law of angular momentum"? No. All of the planets go around the sun in the same direction, as you would expect for any physically reasonable scenario. Only two planets ( Venus and Uranus) spin on their axes in the retrograde sense. The spin of Venus is only slightly retrograde, and it probably migrated from a prograde to a retrograde spin, because the angle of the spin axis is chaotic over large time scales (Venus' Free Obliquity; C.F. Yoder; Icarus 117(2): 250-286, October 1995 and The Chaotic Obliquity of the Planets; J. Laskar & P. Robutel; Nature 361(6413): 608-612, February 18 1993). The spin of Uranus is almost certainly an artifact of a large collision late in the stochastic process of planet formation by accretion of planetesimals (Planet Formation; Jack J. Lissauer; Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics 31: 129-174, 1993 and A Possible Constraint to Uranus' Great Collision; A. Brunini; Planetary and Space Science 43(8): 1019- 1021, August 1995).
The velocity of a galaxy as seen by us is the sum of two component velocities; a local 'turbulent' velocity is one component, and the other is the large-scale cosmic motion [the 'Hubble flow']. Just think of an exploding bomb. All of the pieces of the bomb share in a common large-scale motion away from the explosion. But, any individual fragment will also have a peculiar, 'local' velocity of its own added onto that, depending on whether or not the peculiarities of the explosion pushed it a little bit this-way or that-way; they do not all move along a line strictly radial from the explosion.
The motion of individual galaxies in the big bang works the same way. If we look at a galaxy that is close by, like the well known Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the relative velocity we see is dominated by the local component. M31 has a blue-shifted spectrum, it moves towards our Milky Way galaxy, not away from it. However, all of the several million galaxies known to exist outside of our own local group have red-shifted spectra, they all move away from us. There is not even one single solitary exception to the rule in the millions of galaxies known. Furthermore, the observed red-shift is strictly correlated with apparent brightness, which in turn strongly depends on distance. Therefore, the red-shift is well correlated with distance, as Hubble himself pointed out about 70 or so years ago.
This shows that the argument given above is not sufficient, it does not 'disprove' big bang cosmology.
Secretory cells produce a mixture of hydroquinones and hydrogen peroxide (and perhaps other chemicals), which collects in a reservoir. To produce the blast, the beetle releases some of this mixture into a reaction chamber, where catalases and peroxidases cause the mixture to oxidize in chemical reactions that generate enough heat to vaporize about a fifth of the mixture. The pressure of the released gasses causes the heated mixture to be expelled explosively from the beetle's abdomen (Aneshansley and Eisner 1969; Aneshansley et al. 1983; Eisner et al. 1989).
All of the steps are small or can be easily broken down into smaller ones, and all are probably selectively advantageous. Several of the intermediate stages are known to be viable by the fact that they exist in other living species
its[the big bang] accepted by most people who dont understand the laws of physics
the beetle is able to defend itself from it predators [by use of explosive chemicals] because God designed it that way.
the bettle doesnt need to fly, why would it need to fly, us people dont need to fly, it would be nice, but we dont need to fly.
the theory also says that before the big bang occurred, there was nothingness, (no space, time or matter) but somehow the entire universe compressed into one dense region
there is no evidence that the big bang occurred
if I am right, the non-believers are not going to heaven, they are gong to hell.
those rings are not annual. the during WWII there was a group of planes that got lost up in greenland, they got lost and crash landed up there. the people survived but they left the planes there.
the ice layer argument is what I always get when its brought up
There is no evidence that there was a continuous land path from whereever noah's ark could've been to every other continent on the planet, which is what is needed to get animals and plants from the ark to where they are.
And just australia? The seeds magically slew out of the ark across the world and landed in australia, just in time for the animals that depend on them to eat them? And what did these animals do in the long journey from the ark to their new homes or even on the original journey to the ark??

Wow it would be difficult for these things to happen. And yet as I some what recall from an Evolutionist arguement, this happens:
Amoungst absolutely nothing a dot was there...where?...nowhere. And then it exploded.
When you die there is nowhere to go. Always remember that afterlife is eternity.
