Well done, but I was hoping for a surprise ending.

Certainly wasn't derived from the Biblical account ,no credit to the Creator of all things,just an evolution account of nothing to something,what an empty,meaningless existence,with no hope of better things to come as our Creator has promised !

Since everything we know of evolves, including our knowledge, and continues to evolve doesn't that point to creation being an ongoing affair? As to better things to come perhaps our concepts of that will evolve too since we have little understanding of it.

A little hard to swallow the biblical account of creation, Earth 6,000 years old and all. Especially since the coal in my bin is 300 million years old.

If we evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys around ?? Why has mankind not changed physical dimensions in the last 6000yrs ?? Gods word, the Bible has all the answers,read it & understand. Believe what you want to,but I am too simple minded to believe the evolution lie that from nothing evolved everything,my simple mind just can not grasp that. In the beginning God created the heavens & the earth,my simple mind can grasp that,because I can then read thru the entire Bible & find an entire story that makes sense. franco b, I will pray for you that you too will come to know God's plan for mankind. coalkirk ,i will add you to that prayer list too.

Thank you for the prayers. As for knowing God's plan we know far more about how it has unfolded than is contained in a relatively modern book written by men who had only their own recent history and ongoing myth and legend plus a dash of inspired intuition. It took an even later conclave of men to decide what to include in that Holy Book. To accept modern scholarship is not to deny the basic truths of the Bible which all the great religions hold to. I find no conflict when others refer to God's ordering of the universe as the dance of Shiva. The thought is the same and derived from far older scripture.

The figure of 6000 years for the age of the earth comes from bishop Usher, I believe in the 1840s, who calculated it from the begats in Genesis. Its absurdity should not be used as accepted church doctrine, which it is not.

Man's descent from monkeys is also an absurdity that early opponents of Evolution used. The Theory of Evolution evolves just like everything else does. It is now known that there were a lot more man like creatures running around than previously thought.

Most conflict, I think, arises from the arrogant attempt by man to define the nature of God. Aspects of god must include concepts of timelessness and eternity which we can define but never truly intellectualize. As stated by John in the Bible God is Logos and any departure from that truth is heresy and error.

The alien theory just might fit:

On You Tube there is a documentary titled 'Ancient Giants existed and here is the proof. One of the best documentaries'

It actually coincides with the bible, and if you replace the word 'angel' in the bible with 'alien', it makes one wonder.

PS. I don't know how to link to the video.
