Science moves closer to biblical creation.

[Hollie]

Nevertheless, what we know now is that only the earth has life.

Correct, you may want knowledge and learning to remain static but that is... how shall we say... Unnatural, to the human experience.

The thought of discovery of life on another planet is really quite devastating to the Christian version of religion because all of existence and all life is an earthly matter of supernatural origin.

We believe in extraterrestrial life, but it's spirit life. If it manifests physically someday that will be ok.

Discovery of life on another planet would be an irreconcilable problem for Christianity. Biblical creation is a supernatural, earthly event. How would you explain gods experimenting on other planets?

Genesis 1:1 God created the heavens as well as the earth. We don't know his plans for the universe. We've got enough on our plate with earth's problems.

"We" have no reason to accept that the Christian god(s) actually exist. Why should anyone expect a book written by unknown authors points to any gods?

Otherwise, should we anticipate an earthly redux of A&E, (not the cable station), on some far away planet?

Major synchronicity issues just with that alone:

Formation of Earth

Our planet began as part of a cloud of dust and gas. It has evolved into our home, which has an abundance of rocky landscapes, an atmosphere that supports life, and oceans filled with mysteries.

All that proves is that a race with sufficient technology could have created the universe. No gods necessary.

If there was nothing how could there be a race to create something?

Science is not moving closer to biblical creation. And nothing in your link article indicates otherwise.

Science did that decades ago by stealing biblical creation teachings and calling it the Big Bang.

Although most are familiar with the Bible story God hasn't revealed himself to everyone, only to the church in this the 'church age'. You would fall into this category. No worries, your time will come.

Lots of "it is believed" in this link. Welcome to the 'religion' of science.

 

[Woodznutz]

If there were a creator God, he would be supernatural to have created the natural world, by definition.

True.

Science is restricted to the study of the natural world, NOT the supernatural one.

Also true. We are in agreement.

 

[Woodznutz]

You're the one begging the question, literally quoting your source saying "Scientists create matter from nothing" then changing the subject to "God created the material universe"... And though "thin air" is cliché, many don't appreciate the profound distinction at all. Air is mostly nitrogen and oxygen, i.e. gaseous matter including bugs. It's already "material"!

How about "out of the blue"?

How about "out of the blue"?

Again, the sky appears blue due to the blue wavelengths being scattered by the particles (matter) within "thin air."

One instance, actually:

Other events were occurring on our young planet at this time as well. It is believed that during the early formation of Earth, asteroids were continuously bombarding the planet, and could have been carrying with them an important source of water.

Curiously, no "belief" going on at all here in the next paragraph:

A few hundred million years after this process—around 2.2 billion to 2.7 billion years ago—photosynthesizing bacteria evolved. They released oxygen into the atmosphere via photosynthesis and, in a few hundred million years, were able to change the composition of the atmosphere into what we have today. Our modern atmosphere is comprised of 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen, among other gases, which enables it to support the many lives residing within it.

There's that not so "thin air" again. At lunchtime go out and stare at a big tree. Ask yourself, "Self, how did that get here?" Think.. The answer is vastly CO2 + H2O coming from that very same "thin air."

So, we strike all idioms from the language?

Why do you believe the Christian gods will reveal themselves to me?

Shouldn't they be checking ID's at the pearly gates?

 

[Woodznutz]

Why do you believe the Christian gods will reveal themselves to me?

It's God's will that everyone has a chance for salvation and eternal life. That includes you.

 

[alang1216]

True.

Also true. We are in agreement.

It is also true that since creation is a supernatural event, science can never get 'closer' to it?

Shall I assume that you're bound and determined to always miss (if not completely ignore) any well supported point that you don't like with a vengeance?

I counted five.

I was being generous. It's actually zero. When you say "Lot's of" (quote "blaa, blaa, blaa") you're not paraphrasing so it best be exact or you're talking BS.
