Creationist vs Scientist

OK, this post is about why this arguement is stupid and I should warn readers that if you don't like sarcasm, leave now.

This arguement rages over the origin of the universe; creationists saying that God created the universe and all that is in it and scientists saying that the universe was created many billions of years ago by something called the Big Bang. According to the biblical record God started by separating the light and the dark. essentially creating light. To anyone watching at the time there would be no sound; after all sound can only exist as pressure waves moving through a fliud medium. Since there was not yet any fluid around the very name of the theory refers to an event that is just not logical. I think we should re-name it The Big Flash Theory.

Then there are two questions concerning the timing involved. The bible says that God completed his work up to and including the creation of a man and a woman in six days. And the scientists laugh at that idea, which, I would imagine, upsets the creationists a lot. So let me ask both groups a simple question. Why would God count days based on the rotational interval of one tiny planet revolving around one tiny star in one tiny solar system on an obsure arm of a relatively insignificant galaxy in the vastness of the universe when none of it was yet created? Six days? By whose clock?

Then there is the argument over the age of the earth and, in fact the age of the whole thing. By whose calendar?

So, let me suggest that the scientists, probably mathematicians on both sides of the question figure out the conversion factor for translating Earth time into God time.

While I'm waiting for that answer I'll be re-reading the Ten Commandments.

My suggestion to both sides in this arguement is to stop bickering and get together and apply some real logic to the two theories. It wouldn't surprise me if that effort might just reveal that you have more in common than you think. I also think that we don't actually know enough on either side to come to a full agreement. But, that wouldn't stop grown, intelligent, open minded men and women from having a useful discussion, would it?
