People should watch through the wormhole with Morgan Freeman. There are many different debates with how scientists and non scientists look at things.

Every star in the sky is the dying sun of a failed solar system like ours. The universe isn't so perfect when you look past one of countless planets that failed to sustain life. If there's a creator, it made a lot of mistakes before getting it right, almost as if getting it right was just a chance and it took countless rolls of the proverbial dice to happen.
holy crap this post owns. I think a lot of people won't even see the message that the whole idea of there being a god or creator is a laugh

You misunderstood me. I said God and Science are not opposites. They can fit together.
Oh haha, sorry. You're right. :)) I don't think there's anything wrong in believing there is a God guiding things. :PP

I am a child of God and someone who is willing to speak to the world about Creationism and defend Him. Is that a reasonable enough "version" for you?
Which God?

It's not science that disproves the earth is over 6,000 years old. It is evidence and research that has been compiled over countless studies.
God and Science are not incompatible. There are many Christian scientists who believe that a higher power guided evolution and the Big Bang as two examples. Also, most Christians would disagree with the 6,000 year old earth theory.
That's like saying mythology and facts aren't compatible. Of course they aren't. One is real, the other isnt. One has proof backing its authenticity, the other doesn't.

That fortunately has became better recognized recently with the masses. Yet studies have shown it's still a large over look in some states.

Alright, would you tell me why you think that is false? Because of science? Please explain.

The patterns of evolution and the rate of growth that was needed in 6000 years with the comparison of number of creatures that could have when fit on Noah's ark is a good one to start with. If you try with idea we had enough to evolve to the multitude of branches you would have needed some long years.
Dont forget the evidence for continental drift, carbon dating, radiological decay, erosion, etc

A version of what? What I'm trying to say is that I'm not "the boss" of anybody. I'm sorry if I sounded like I thought I was. That's not my point, though.
You say you are a spokeperson of god and christianity.

Im asking which version.

Not that hard.

@Devante What has me being a female have to do with it? Do you have something against young females trying to do something? And I'm sorry if that might have seemed like I was the spokesperson of every single Christian. I am obviously not, but I am certainly a spokesperson of God and Christianity.
I also said you were 16, if you missed that.

Which version? there's hundreds of sects, and millions of interpretations.

May I ask why you are using a quote from the Bible when you don't believe in it?
Ana was judging me simply based on stereotype/an unrelated position I held simply because I did not agree with her, yet she claims the source with which she believes (the bible in God) gives her a better moral position than I, even though she is personally attacking me and disregarding her teachings.

I don't even like mlp.

Honestly, Christians shouldn't be insulting people like that, so I apologize on their behalf. Would someone mind giving me examples of how science explains things and takes place of a need for a God? I will try to explain from the explanations.
Thank you, 16 year old female, for apologizing on behalf of all Christians. I'm sure they're all fine with you as their spokesperson

People use to believe God created the earth 6000 years ago. We now know this to be false.
