Amen! Thank you for your response and your eagerness to share the word. Please be assured that my comments were meant solely as an encouragement and to share what have been my experiences in discussions pertaining to this matter. I firmly believe it is our duty as Christians to encourage, exhort and/or admonish fellow brothers in Christ with love and respect, as per required in scripture. I am a firm believer in Creation as opposed to evolution. But I was raised with a scientific mindset. Which is to say that I was taught that evolution and "The Big Bang" were facts. It was later in life that I learned these were not so. As far as the age of the universe is concerned, I try to be as objective as I can, steer away from vain and useless arguing. If some one wants to have a constructive and edifying discussion on the matter, I am open to it. I will not however engage in a conversation that involves solely on changing my or someone else's view.
God Bless

Thanks Don & Andrea,
I am a Christian and an accountant. So I am really not qualified to make scientific pronouncements. However, I think it's good to do the best we can to explore the evidence. Honestly, I have a hard time understanding why God would have taken billions of years to create the universe. Scientists tend to calculate time based on conditions today. Yet just as on there earth, there were catastrophes like a world wide flood, so I wonder if there was the same in the creation of the universe that scientists can't see and maybe it happened much faster than they think. I can only speculate. Those like yourself with a more scientific background may have better insight than myself. Thanks again for the very friendly conversation.
Why God does anything the way He does is one of his greatest mysteries. An interesting note: in all the miracles mentioned in the bible, there is always form of physical manifestation associated with them.
I suppose any form of physical manifestation is for our benefit.
Amen! I will not pretend to know the mind of GOD.
