I find alot of things wrong with the information presented on that website that ikester7579 posted for us to view. The information on that site has been gleaned from a tremendus amount of sources and jumbled together to give the appearance of congruent sentences. Also, if you look closely at the sources used for these "tidbits" of information, most are books written as opinions and interepretations of the different forces occuring in our universe. That is what all of this is, and that is why there is no point at all in debating creation and evolution. It becomes an endless argument. Everything is opinions. Every scientific fact that is proven can be related to both theories, and THEORIES are what they are.
Now, you may think that i am arguing for something right here, but I am not. I merely wish to express my views and offer another view on the whole issue, one which has not been brought up in this forum as of yet.
I, personally, am a practicing christian, however i do not subscribe fully to the theory of creation. I believe that some "higher power" formed our universe, and the world that we live in, but who is to say that it was all done recently. If you follow closely the timeline in the first chapter of Genesis, you will begin to notice that certain things start adding up.
One the first day, God created night and day. On the second, God created Heaven and the Earth, which contained only water. On the third, God created dry land and plants. On the fourth day, God created the Sun, Moon, and stars. On the fifth, He created the sea creatures and the birds. On the sixth, he created land animals, and humans. On the seventh, He rested.
Now, except where the sun, moon, and stars are concerned, the basic timeline for creation coincides with the basic timeline for evolution. First, the earth was all water, then came the land, and land animals, then people. Who is to say that what the Bible labels as a "day" is actually the 24 hour period that we think of as a day. The Bible was written by human beings. Adding to that the fact that most of the humans alive during that time were not educated. Education was a privilege in those times. These men who were writing the bible needed some way to relate the process of the beginnings of our world to the general public, so they gave it a timeline of a week. A "day" to God could have been 100 million years for all we know. God is not human, He is not limited by the same things that humans are. This is my opinion of course, and I am not trying to convert anyone over to my belief, I am just hoping that this will cause some people think abstractly and form their own ideas.
Now, to address the other problem that I had with the information on that site is the stuff concerning the Earth's magnetic field. There is no way that i can trust the validity of a projection of "magnetic degenerration" when it is based, not on proven fact, but on an assumption that this degeneration will continue to occur at the same exact rate that it has been, and not slow down or speed up, nor regenerate. Nothing that has to do with magnetic fields is certain. There is always the existing element of chaos. It has been proven that at certain points in the earths history, the magnetic field of the earth suddenly swapped polarities, for no purpose or reason. The North "pole" was in the antarctic, and hte south "pole" was in the arctic. It just as suddenly switched back. No pattern, no regularity. The exact locations of the magnetic "poles" has also moved around throughout history, again with no pattern or regularity. With the always existing possibility that something could randomly happen, you can never predict anything precisely.
