Ceridwen018,
This is what I promised you. I have expanded it to include more than just a list of facts but also to include reasonings and things that caused me to have an Arsenio Hall moment. They may, and probably will, seem silly to some. I present these things in the order that they popped into my head and not necessarily in their order of importance.
1.For me, believing in creation means more satisfying answers to more questions.
2.For me, believing in creation means believing in something better for the future.
3.For me, believing in creation means a better life now.
4.For me, believing in creation means more of my needs are met.
5.For me, believing in creation means already knowing the source so many scientists say they seek. And the Source that many scientists are now coming to embrace, some begrudgingly.
6.For me, believing in creation means understanding why the universe is expanding.
7.For me, believing in creation means knowing the source of the immense energy that the universe is (e=mc2).
8.For me, believing in creation means knowing, What was before?
9.For me, believing in creation means knowing why so many things went right? Or put another way, how so very, very extremely incredibly close we came to not being here. To close for it just to have been chance. Such as: If the Universe had expanded one million millionth part faster then all the material in the Universe would have dispersed by now. . . . And if it had been a million millionth part slower, then gravitational forces would have caused the Universe to collapse within the first thousand million years or so of its existence. Again there would have been no long-lived stars and no life.Sir Bernard Lovell. Check out: http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/cosmo_03.htm - FO
10.For me, believing in creation means knowing why the universe is so ordered when its start was supposedly an explosion.
11.For me, believing in creation means knowing why the universe remains so ordered in spite of entropy. Astrophysicist Alan Lightman noted that scientists find it mysterious that the universe was created in such a highly ordered condition. He also said any successful theory of cosmology should ultimately explain this entropy problem.
