First, could a creationist PLEASE tell me why they are correct? It must just go over my head or something.. I was under the impression most religions were very similar, and were originally invented because early humans were afraid of the remorselessness of the night. Night was when most predators hunted and such.

That was only one thing I’d read though. Feel free to spout some facts at me.

As of now evolution is winning the fight, in my opinion. Lifeforms everywhere adapt to their environments. This is not debatable. If the argument is that DNA has a set number of chromosomes for each species, then could evolution lead to a gradual change in chromosomes as needed? If not, what about mutation (which, in my opinion, could be a form of random evolution)?

Second, talking about the universe as a 3 dimensional hyper-sphere is really confusing to me. It seems like you are blowing off the possibility of something being outside it, because our minds can’t grasp infinite.

My question before reading these comments, was, “How does the universe go on forever?” because, I feel like something would STILL be outside of it. My alternate question was “How does the universe end?” because, again, something would be outside it.

It seems like the easiest thing for my mind to settle on is the 3D hypersphere theory; and that is only because I’m ruling out the possibility of something being outside it, due to the inability of my brain to comprehend infinite.

Third, so it is no longer accepted that black holes are singularities? Would it not be more rational to say that there are actually masses at the center larger than a singularity, and we cant see them since the gravity doesn’t let light escape? Forgive me if this is an old argument and I am beating a dead horse, just curious.

The Bible is True.

Why do we have millions of articles about Evolution, but no articles about other Science? Why the endless fascination for the Evolution Lie? Most people hate the Bible, so they preach “ANYTHING ELSE”, no matter how impossible, because they want to attack the Bible.”[/quote]

I don’t hate the bible, but I have no reason to believe in the Bible. Just like I take this theory of evolving universes at face value and don’t place any considerable amount of faith into it due to the ludicrous assumptions it makes, I also feel the same way towards religion. If you look at it from an objective point of view (as much as is possible, of course), Creation is just another cosmology that is not far from all of the other speculative theories on how the Universe was created.

isn’t it said in the Bible that first there was nothing and then God created the Universe
that seems to me like the big bang

and then later He created night and day
that seems like the sun and the planets

and then at the end, man was created
even evolution suggests that we have inhabited this earth only since (relatively speaking) recent times

Okay….somebody tell me if they know of anyone who has been out there in space during the “Big Bang” to document anything? I mean, how can you say positively something happened when you don’t have eye witnesses. Sure, you can make conclusions based on certain findings, but still, so much is left to theory isn’t it?
Maybe we aren’t supposed to know all these mysteries! Look at what happened to the people of Babbel! Having said that, I find myself itching to know about it all and when somebody tells me something that I can grasp, I am in absolute awe of this wonderful creation! So please, tell me stuff!

Krinberry’s use of the word “surface” may have confused you. The surface of an ordinary sphere is a 2-dimensional object in 3-dimensional space. He was talking about a 3-dimensional “hypersphere” which need not be the “hypersurface” of anything, in which case all directions are part of the 3-d hypersphere itself.
One hypothesis–not a very plausible one, but at least it’s consistent–is that our universe is a 3-d hypersphere and there is nothing, literally nothing, that is not part of it.
For most people it is easier to conceive of a 3-d hypersphere as being part of a bigger 4-d universe that extends infinitely far in all directions, but that need not be the case.
It’s not an easy distinction to grasp. It took me years before something finally clicked and I understood.

Only if you look at it as a 3 dimensional object; if you move the sperical nature into more dimensions, you can end up with an object in which all directions are on the surface of the hyperdimensional ‘sphere’ and as such, will eventually wrap around to meet the other ‘side’ of itself.
