adexsimply:
If you're telling us that creating the whole universe in 7 days is more logical, simple and inclusive, then I think those three words have different meanings from what I know.

Creating the whole universe in 7 days is not any sillier than singularity theory and evolution.

I do not believe the BIBLE accounts fully, but the BIBLE made many important things quite clear:
The Genesis said
In the beginning (that is Time accounted for)
God made heaven and earth (that is space accounted for)
A very distant verse in the BILBE also mentioned GOD covered the earth with blanket till he decreed let there be light.
The earth was full of water, till he made land.
The bible also accounted for the sequence that will allow life to flourish. By saying he made the plants first, which means there would be oxygen by the time animals are created.
The bible also accounted for making the other animals ready to relate with the environment and humans when they are made.
Finally, the BIBLE was very clear on the making of male and female.
This bible seems too old, but yet the accounts of events correlates with the rational process that would have allowed every thing to be.

The evolutionist and the atheist has not even come this close.

I believe it, not because of any prove, but because it a theory. Just like the evolutionist account is a theory and they need to accept it as a theory and stop calling it science.

1. What singularity do you keep pointing out, you have not answered the question of how the matter came to be, so singularity is a theory.
Never did I state singularity as the theory but rather the initial singularity not being understood....matter on the other hand is derived from energy...energy and matter can be derived from each other... hence we convert mass into energy during atomic chain reactions...

2. Even a quantum state needs mathematical constant to function, it needs materials to function irrespective of how small this material is. Bringing us back to the question where did the materials come from.
what mathematical constant is required for virtual particles?

3. Sometimes people say things in assumption and I will class this one as one.
4. A kindergarten understanding of science? Really I do a PhD research in molecular biology. Just like science I prefer proves http://youtu.be/u1ODL8g4ygk have a look around 1:17 that is me. so I do understand science more than you can imagine.

Get me proves of all you claims sir
Lets say I do believe you have such a degree...now what has a molecular biologist have to do outside his field of study?
And I never claimed "proves".....but evidences that support the big bang theory.

One of the best examples of evolution
nonsense is the thought that a wingless bird
began to evolve a wing. Why this would occur
is not answered by evolutionists. The wing
stub did not make the bird more adaptable
to his environment. The first wing stubs
would be much too small for the bird to fly.
Why would a bird evolve wing stubs that are
useless? This is backwards from the
evolutionary theory of natural selection,
which states that birds adapt and change in
order to survive better in their environment.
The bird with a half-size wing is placed at a
disadvantage in its environment.
Why would the bird continue for millions of
generations to improve a wing stub that is
useless? The Theory of Evolution is based on
natural selection of the most adaptable
member of a species, not the weakest. A bird
with a useless wing is at a severe
disadvantage. This is the opposite of natural selection
The fact that you are using Darwinism to prove a point and to nullify the reality of evolution proved you have the least understanding of what it is all about. Scientists are not against evolution per se. But prove what is wrong and accept what is correct through experiments to better understand the theories. Please, Make use of Google and see the reason why birds developed wings.

DNA are chemicals and as you break those chemicals down you will find out that they aren't different from what make up the stone or plant. In a nutshell, ape and human are make up of the same thing though they look different because of the way the are formed or lack of the quantity that make up their composition of of those chemicals. I am using those kiddie's terms for clarity sake.

Are you joking or what? Do you know how many mechanism go on during the synthesis of these biological matter. The stone has definitely got no amino acids, and does not contain any genetic code.

Ape has different genetic information compared to humans. Just think about the serious health complications one will go through if any mismatch of DNA occur. Also think about the outcome of transplanting any organ from ape to human with or without immune suppression.

This is not all about Darwin's Theory. This what have been scientifically proven. Evolution is completely a process that exist. In biology, it takes a very long period of time and slowly that you cannot seem to recognize it if you aren't careful.
Darwin theory of evolution is the most acceptable theory of evolution in biology, darwin claim had been disproved severally by so many scientists .
Evolution is unscientific, because it is not
testable or falsifiable. It makes claims about
events that were not observed and can never
be re-created.
This blanket dismissal of evolution ignores
important distinctions that divide the field into
at least two broad areas: microevolution and
macroevolution. Microevolution looks at
changes within species over time--changes that
may be preludes to speciation, the origin of new
species. Macroevolution studies how taxonomic
groups above the level of species change. Its
evidence draws frequently from the fossil
record and DNA comparisons to reconstruct
how various organisms may be related.

According to researchers at King’s College in
London, the latest model scientists hold about
the Big Bang may in fact be false.
A March 2014 experiment known as “Bicep2″
supposedly found evidence in favor of the Big
Bang model of the universe. The Big Bang
model, the belief that the universe originated
from being less than an inch across, is the
belief that most scientists hold about the origin
of the universe today. Proponents of Bicep2
believe that the universe expanded rapidly
after the moment of the Big Bang.

However, now the researchers at King’s
College have come to the conclusion that the
universe could not have remained intact if
Bicep2 was the case. Instead, there would
have been a “Big Crunch” of the universe. The
leader of the study, a PhD student at King’s
College in London, commented about this as
follows:
This is an unacceptable prediction
of the theory because if this had
happened, we wouldn’t be around to
discuss it.

I notice that many Africans are big into Christianity and Islam but have our prayers worked. I always here people say "Jesus will take the wheel" or "God will save us". But how long have we been praying? Has it been working? We have all these churches and mosques and we have the most problems, poverty, bad education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. Instead of praying to god why don't we use ACTIONS because they speak louder than prayer.

Question EVERYTHING, what were the political implications of African receiving religion? Is it good for us? If we die and nothing happens to us then would we have wasted our lives praying for nothing? Do you want to live for this life or the afterlife?

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.-Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Stop praying and start doing!! We need to go back to spirituality because it seems like religion is not working. Let's try something else.

Our ideas about the history of the universe are
dominated by big bang theory. But its
dominance rests more on funding decisions
than on the scientific method, according to Eric
J Lerner, mathematician Michael Ibison of
Earthtech.org, and dozens of other scientists
from around the world.
An Open Letter to the Scientific Community
Cosmology Statement.org (Published in New
Scientist, May 22-28 issue, 2004, p. 20)
The big bang today relies on a growing number
of hypothetical entities, things that we have
never observed-- inflation, dark matter and dark
energy are the most prominent examples.
Without them, there would be a fatal
contradiction between the observations made
by astronomers and the predictions of the big
bang theory.
In no other field of physics would this continual
recourse to new hypothetical objects be
accepted as a way of bridging the gap between
theory and observation. It would, at the least,
RAISE SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
VALIDITY OF THE UNDERLYING THEORY.
But the big bang theory can't survive without
these fudge factors. Without the hypothetical
inflation field, the big bang does not predict the
smooth, isotropic cosmic background radiation
that is observed, because there would be no way
for parts of the universe that are now more than
a few degrees away in the sky to come to the
same temperature and thus emit the same
amount of microwave radiation.
Without some kind of dark matter, unlike any
that we have observed on Earth despite 20 years
of experiments, big-bang theory makes
contradictory predictions for the density of
matter in the universe. Inflation requires a
density 20 times larger than that implied by big
bang nucleosynthesis, the theory's explanation
of the origin of the light elements. And without
dark energy, the theory predicts that the
universe is only about 8 billion years old, which
is billions of years younger than the age of
many stars in our galaxy.
What is more, the big bang theory can boast of
no quantitative predictions that have
subsequently been validated by observation.
The successes claimed by the theory's
supporters consist of its ability to
retrospectively fit observations with a steadily
increasing array of adjustable parameters, just
as the old Earth-centred cosmology of Ptolemy
needed layer upon layer of epicycles.

Just imagine that you are making a house of different sizes, and you need the door to allow passage of cars, would you not make the doors in the same shape in both houses?

Because the gene sequence is the same does not prove it has evolved from apes.

I might have been because who made recognised they will play the same function.

Also remember in molecular biology and biology scientists trys to understand how things work, this clearly supports a creation view, since scientists believe every event has a particular mechanism and every molecular has a particular function. This is very contrary to the view that every things is random and in chaos.

And one thing every American child knows is the famous "separation of church and state" coined by one of the fathers of the country, and author of the Declaration of Independence....

Do you know why those colonists fled from Europe? Religious persecution for their beliefs. They were determined that religion would have absolutely nothing to do with their new government.

So, no. America is not, was never, and never will be, a Christian country. In fact, the Treaty of Tripoli signed and passed unanimously by the Senate in 1796, says just that, in blunt English:

"The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

His argument is still based on no evidence to prove it. Bicep2 is telescope replacement for Bicep1 to carry out experiments on CMB[R]. The findings are still ongoing. Why would I have to support what Kings college PhD student has to say? Without providing evidences that a Big Crunch, which by simple definition, is a theory of the universe collapsing on itself and repeating another BB. It is nothing more than a hypothesis. The Big Bang never said the universe expanded rapidly but it expanded through billions of years.

But that doesn't nullify there is premise or origin in the theory with regard to what has been observed and distinguished it from what hasn't. Quantum Mechanics is a micro way of viewing the origin of the universe(without pointing to explosion).To me it holds a lot in common in some aspects to explain the observable processes. However, god and religion are already out of the picture in this case.

What our genome has to do with house is quite simple, for example the gene sequence for some type of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) is the same in all mammals and plays similar function in all the mammals, functions like mediating production of extracellular matrix.
Just like the first question all mammals need to reproduce and the stimulations of ovaries and its release can be controlled by the same set of genes among species.

This isn't an "all mammals" structure but one shared by our predicted homonid ancestors thus confirming the phylogenetic tree of life,why is this?

What I meant by that is, the whole purpose of this field of study is to understand how things work, no doubt it can be applied medically when you have figured out how it works. (simple science).
I have not avoided most of your questions, because of the way you reply I may have missed some of your point, but be assured I will go back and reply those.

good...now can you answer my above question?

And chy22 the theory of evolution is by no means atheistic....infact majority of theists accept the theory....
