Welcome!

My site is still being worked on so some pages do not work at this time, but I will be adding more content all the time. This site is my atempt, to put my thoughts out there for others to see. I would like to share what I feel may be the connection between science and the Bible. I hope you have an open mind, no matter what you believe, for or agaist. Just to let you know I believe in god, but I think man has misinterprited the bible. I have been going over this in my head for some time now, and I need to get my thoughts out.

First lets get some of the science out of the way. We start with a big ball of cosmic dust and gas, which then explodes, we have the big bang. So the univers forms. The earth forms, cools, life begins in the waters, evoles in to dinos, which have been found to be more closly related to birds then reptiles, they die out, mammals inharrit the earth, which man evoles from. Condensed verson I know, but its just the start.
 
Okay now some points on the Bible. First you have to remember that in the Bible we are refered to always as Gods childen, when you explain something to a child you don't go in to the chemical make up of a cup of tea, when they ask how its made, you tell them you pour hot water over tea leaves. Now lets take some of the wording in the Bible, first so that you know, the laungage the Bible was first writen in is one of the most noun poor laungages(about 4000), translate it to english which is one of the noun richest(some 400000), you may use the wrong word, but the sentence still works. Take the word day in Genesis, the word in the original verson has many different meanings. It can be a 12 hour day, a 24 hour period, or a long period of time. They didn't have the words to discribe millions of years. Also the word for mourning means beginning, and the word for evening means ending. So in the Bible when it says there was morning, and there was an evening, the first day. You could read it like this, there was a beginning, and there was an ending, the first long period of time.
 
Now, lets put the two together. (Science) big ball of cosmic dust and gas, ball blows up, big bang. (Bible) "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." Look at the two, before the heavens and the earth there was just God, or a big ball of cosmic dust and gas. the ball of dust explodes and you have the heavens and earth. "The earth was formless and empty", as the cosmic dust collected where the planets and stars formed then the earth would be formless, untill it all came together. "darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters". When the earth formed it was surronded by thick clouds that would block out the sun, and the Spirit of God was between the earth and the clouds. (Bible) "And god said let there be light", (science) after the earth formed the clouds would slowly thin out letting the lite from the sun in.
(Science) As the earth was cooling and forming there were constant, sever thunderstorms, that slowly deminished. (Bible) "And God said let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water. So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expance from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse sky." Not much explination here God made the storms calm down.
(Science) Contental drift, the contents were one large land mass that drifted apart. (Bible) "And God said let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear. And it was so" Okay you gather all the water into one place, then that means all the land is in one place, need I say more on this one.
Okay the forth "day" the Bible talks about letting there be lights in the sky, making the sun and the moon, the clouds may have still been thining out going from a haze that keeps you from seeing the moon, stars and sun, to clear skies.
(Science) life starts in the waters, and dinosours come to be, which many scientists beleave are closely related to birds. (Bible) And God said "Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky. Again not much explination needed here.
On the sixth "day" God created all the animals on land, then created man. so in science that would be the animals after the dinos, and the evolution of man.
On the seventh "day" God rested. Now lets take a look at this, what if we haven't reached the seventh "day",or time period. You see man is still evolving, getting taller, smarter, living longer. When do you think God would take a break, as soon as we came to be, or after revolations when the earth is at peace, and God has all his children with him.
