EA Miller EA Miller "What's the difference between science and religion?"

"Science gives and religion receives."

-Michael A. Sherlock
EA Miller EA Miller Christians fear being exposed by science and often flee from any discussion of it in trying to defend their faith.

OUR CREATION?

Did you know that life on the 4,500,000,000 year old Earth began around 3,800,000,000 years ago while Mankind as we know it didn't make it on Earth until around 1,000,000 years ago?

That means that our planet managed quite well without us for approximately 4,499,000,000 years and most of the life on Earth managed for 3,799,000,000 years without us interfering.

It also points to the fact that our planet will manage quite well without us should we all succumb to some dreadful disease of other 'calamity'.

Now what was this you were saying about our creation?
