God, creation and humanity

[Charity]

The Bible doesn't attempt to prove God, it assumes Him. The Bible begins with the assumption that God exists and that He existed eternally before He created humanity and placed life on earth. No where in the scripture is chance taught for the creation of the universe or the human race. God created matter out of nothing and formed it into living objects. The Bible does not tell us how the human race and the universe were actually created. It does assert the premise that God brought it all into being.

Those that reject the Biblical version of creation start with presuppositions on which their claims are based. Everyone has their own assumption but is it able to be proven scientifically? On what evidence do our assumptions rest?

Not all assumptions are created equal. So, for example, the biblical assumption that fowl were created before land-based insects.

i think science would explain what's already in action. only when it comes to the beginning point, it could not find anything to prove or not to prove. matter did not appear out of blue. each object was energy then each became solid. there is a reason why all the planets and suns are sphere. answers are in the codes of this creation. i think science in creation is with no end. so science would go further and further but none of the answers they could find would not be enough to answer one question. how did it all begin? what did cause big bang? or my personal question...they say universe is expanding and our sources agrees, then in what it is expanding? sorry, i am probably off topic.

Respectfully, that is often the problem with discussions such as this.

Science rests on the minimum assumptions necessary to be able to understand the world, assumptions that we all use and rely on in our daily life, such as that there is a world outside of ourselves, that it is possible to learn about it by observation, that 1 + 1 = 2, A does not equal -A, and the like. The Bible, like all religious books, makes up a long list of assumptions that are not shared, not obvious, and not generally agreed on.

To put this differently, all of what science assumes, you do too.

I never knew that I was so virtuous.

With all respect, aren't we here to get the opinion of others?

Depends on where the opinion comes from.
