Why don't we understand God?

Hya!
I'm back!

Before I start I want to say I have gotten an email of a Jake, at rocketmail or something giving me some "proof" of evolution, apparently it was a comment on the blog...
I don't read the comments much as I am pretty busy...
It will probably change in a while.
I just want to say that is no proof of evolution and I will explain it at a later stage. (I have several topics planned.)

Now, today's entry will be something I learnt from Dr. Kent Hovind (Which is currently in jail). You can visit his website here or here.

Well, this one guy came up to me (He was a creationist, but he did believe in the gap theory) and said, Martin, what is God like? Thats not an easy question. Well, Kent Hovind said...

Lets say you (The reader) is God, you created your own world. A 2D world. There are 2 people on it, Mr and Mrs Flat. They see 1D and observe 2D (Like us, we see 2D and observe 3D). Now lets say you put your finger on 1 side of the earth, where Mr. Flat is, he would say "God is as circle". Then you put 3 fingers on the other side of the world. Where Mrs. Flat is, she would say, "No, God is 3 circles...". So this argument will go on and on until finally they die. Lets say they go to heaven. They finally get the chance to see God. Now they will see God is not 1 or 3 circles, but nothing even close to circles, something much much more complex. So just like that we can't really understand God, we put our limitations on God. For example, we are stuck in time, God is not. We can't even imagine how something could be with time! Lets talk for 5 minutes and lets see if we can't refer to time!

Yesterday I did that... (Time)
I am 16 years old (Time)
Tomorrow I will (Time)
Today... (Time)
I will be... (Time)

So, we are really stuck in time! God is not, we put our limitations on God, God is something our brains can't even comprehend! Like example, think of a color that does not exist... (You can't) Not shades of the current colors, brand new colors. The 1 guy came to me and said:

Challenger: "Thinking of a new color? Thats nothing! Clearly you are very limited!"
Martin: "Ok, lets say I am limited, now describe your color for me would you?"
Challenger: "Well, it is a little reddish, with a little blueish..."
Martin: "Ok, number 1, thats purple. Number 2 thats not new colors, thats a shade of red, and a shade of blue mixed together. Describe a brand new color!"
Challenger: "..."
Martin: "Ok, think of a new sense that does not exist. I can't!"
Challenger: "Haha, piece of cake! An antenna on one's head then you can sense when something is near."
Martin: "Sorry, that is either a variation of sight, smell, touch or hearing, which ever one you choose."
Challenger: "Well, what about an antenna that can scan everything in an object."
Martin: "A variation of sight."
Challenger: "What about RV? Thats often called the sixth sight or the third eye."
Martin: "Variation of sight."

He deleted me from IM after that conversation.
This one anti-Christ came to me and said:

Challenger: "I believe there is a God, but I believe the devil is even more powerful!"
Martin: "Let me tell you how I see it, let me try to compare it. Satan = Saving light. God = Thunder. Who has the most power?"
Challenger: "God never helps anybody!"
Martin: "Thats not true! God completely overwhelms the devils power!"
Challenger: "Prove it!"

I took him to one of the classes in my school, there were more anti-Christ's plaing anti-Christ games.
The game they were playing is a game, you get a small stick (about match size) and say a bunch of mumbo jumbo, then the stick starts to spin, you simply swear the stick and the stick breaks in half. The challenger said see, that demonstrates the power of satan! I said and his power is very weak! The other anti-Christs said what about a game of glasses. (Basically they put a glass on the table, says some more mumbo jumbo and the glass moves, then something happens to it, I just can't remember what.) They started playing the game, the glass moved. The guy said see allot of power. While the glass was moving they were teasing me and the glass was moving faster and faster and he said my God can't come even close to that. All I did was I got on my knees and I started to pray, at first nothing happened, but as soon as I said "Jesus Christ" the glass stopped moving. I got up and they simply couldn't move the glass. They started it all over, the glass didn't even bunge. Until the one girl got mad and threw it out of the window. I said, "a fraction of my God's power." I walked out.

Point I am trying to make, we don't understand God, but He is almighty, I think that God is the most powerful thing that can ever exist. I don't understand Him, and I probably never will, but I believe in Him, and my life has been great thanks to that!

Thanks to everyone who read this entry.

Facts and the bible...

Okay, I am getting really irritated with this and I think its time I make a blog entry about this!
In some of my debates I come and people say:

Challenger: Evolution is a fact! Not only is it packed with science it also includes other scientific facts!
Martin: Like micro evolution?
Challenger: Yes!
Martin: Well, micro evolution is supported by the bible, can you think of any other fact?
Challenger: Fish can breath under water!

Okay, now I think readers will agree that this challenger was both ignorant and stupid! What I want to know, does evolution really include any fact that is not supported by the bible?
No!
Believe it or not, the bible is full of facts!
This one guy comes to me:

Challenger: You are ignorant to believe the bible is true! Show me 1 fact from the bible! Thats right it has none! The bible includes no facts! You creationists are all so dumb! You still believe the world is flat!

Now this is just stupid,  has he ever read the bible? No he has not, is he sure the bible includes no facts? No he is not! The one about the world is flat really makes me chuckle every time I see it! In this post I will give some scientifically proven facts straight from the bible! Please note that the bible was written about 6000 years and books were added.

Lets start with this:
The earth is round:
This is funny, because evolutionists always think Christians believe the earth is flat.
Isaiah 40:22 KJV

It is He who sits above the circle (Sphere in Hebrew) of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

Wow, interesting, here is said that God is sitting above the circle shaped earth that
Christians have knew this for thousands of years. Still it was taught in schools that the earth is flat, until it was proven wrong in the 15th century. Thats interesting isn't it?


Earth is in space
You know, Creationists has also known that there was always a space:
Job 26:7 KJV

He stretches out the north over empty space;
      He hangs the earth on nothing.

Interesting. Why did nobody (Except creationists) know about space until 1667 when the term was created for "beyond the earths sky"? Yip the bible triumphs again.
The one evolutionist I debated said:

Challenger: You are making no sense, you think that I am dumb because I believe something came from nothing! You believe the earth is hanging on nothing!

Well, go out in space, what would you see other than stars, asteroids and planets? Nothing!
I think, maby what was meant by nothing was emptiness. Which comes down to the same description at the end of the day! Christians have known this for thousands of years, evolutionists figured this out at a late date of 1650.

Importance of blood in the life process
Leviticus 17:11 KJV 

For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’

An evolutionist said, thats dumb, even cavemen knew if you bleed long enough you die.
There are 2 problems with this.
#1. You are assuming cavemen existed. They didn't.
#2. If thats true, why did people think that if you remove enough blood from your body you will get healed?

Cavemen thing will not work! They discovered the above fact in the 19th century!

Vision of birds of prey
This one is just fascinating! We didn't know much about birds a while back right?
Especially not birds of prey!
What we do know now is that a bird of prey has about 4 times better vision than humans.
Did evolutionists know that birds of prey have better vision 3000 years ago?
I don't think so! They always taught they hunt by smelling. Creationists on the other hand...

Job 28:7

That path no bird knows,
      Nor has the falcon’s eye seen it.

Job 39:27-29

 ²⁷ Does the eagle mount up at your command,
      And make its nest on high?
 ²⁸ On the rock it dwells and resides,
      On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.
 ²⁹ From there it spies out the prey;
      Its eyes observe from afar.

Very interesting!
Thats 4 for creation ZIP for evolution!
Seriously man, evolutionists have been behind for years!

Light is a particle and has mass
Job 38:19 says:

Where [is] the way [where] light dwelleth? and [as for] darkness, where [is] the place thereof,

So know I have a question, why have Creationists know this for thousands of years, but this was figured out in 1932? It has to mean something! Evolutionists are so ignorant, they will never admit their theory is wrong! The problem is the theory is never changed, only the "proof". The bible never had that problem as proof never had to change!

Lightning and thunder are related
You know, a few hundred years ago, people thought the "gods" were angry when thunder came, they thought when lightning comes that the "gods" are showing off their power!

Thats ridiculous! And they believed that until the 19th century! Creatinists on the other hand:


Job 38:25

Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

 Now its up to the readers to decide the next question.
Either someone has always been way ahead of technology as they knew the creator of our world and communicated with Him. Or creationists can guess stuff extremely good!

Humans posses the seed of life
To us allot of these things may seem like common sense, like we posses the seed of life. Did you know that was only discovered in the 17th century?

Thats pretty odd. Last time I checked Creationists knew this for about 6000 years!
As a matter of fact, the first book in the bible states this!

Genesis 3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Ah yes, ironic isn't it? Evolutionists claim to surpass creationists intelligence because they believe in evolution! Looking at these examples I think its pretty clear who has always had the most intelligence!

Oceans has natural paths in them
Yes once again science has shocked the community in 1854 by saying there are natural paths in the oceans! Well they shocked creationists to! We thought they should have known this for a few thousand years already!

Psalm 8:8

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

Snow has material value
Yes its true, up and till 1905 everyone (except creationist) believed snow was useless. Except for playing games in! Creationists have always knew snow has value!

Job 38:22

Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

Water cycle
People never knew where rain came from. Until finally in the 17th century when they discovered the water cycle! You know thats actually wrongly stated...

Finally in the 17th century when they discovered Creationists were right about the water!
Ecclesiates 1:7

All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [is] not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

Right here I just gave 10 examples of where science is stated in the bible, there are many more though!
Now some people might say, they teach evolution in almost all the schools so it must be true!

No thats wrong, they taught the earth was flat, they taught that if you take out your blood you get healed, they taught birds of prey smell their foe, they taught thunder was angry gods... So I think its pretty logical to say, not everything taught in school is always 100% accurate!

So now, Creationists reading this, next time evolutionists say the bible is not scientific, direct them to this page! That ought to keep them shut for a while!

Debate shame, Part #1!

Hi all!
This has been a really strange week! Not one of my debates lasted longer than 10 minutes!

I get a flaming message saying that evolution has allot of proof behind it, its much more logical etc.
I give them one reply saying their theory is wrong and I never hear from them again! So my debates are not going good. Everyone is so eager to "prove" evolution, that nobody ever does it!

I just counted, I got 8 debate requests, none of them ever reply to me!

Just for the learning purposes, I will show a snip out of one of my debates:

Challenger: You are a retard, there is loads of proof behind evolution!
Martin: Really? Can you show me one?
Challenger: There are mountains and mountains of proof supporting evolution!
Martin: Ok, I hear so, now show me some.
Challenger: You are blind, can't you see the proof?
Martin: No I cannot, if you can show me 1 bit of proof of evolution, I will declare you the winner of the debate.
Challenger: ...
Martin: Anytime now.
Challenger: ...
Martin: I thought so, you don't have any proof do you?
Challenger: ...

So that challenge didn't end that well. Face it, there is simply no proof for evolution!
This one guy comes to me. I would like a debate. Science VS religion! I asked what he means. He then said Evolution VS Creation. What? Thats not science VS religion! Thats religion VS religion! He said, evolution is a fact... Here we go again (At start of the topic.) I told him to please explain the evolution theory for me. He said:

Well billions of years ago all the dirt in the universe got together in a dot smaller than a period.

...

Then I said, ok, how would all the dirt in the universe be compressed in that teeny tiny dot?
He said, they don't know. Then I asked, ok, where did all the dirt in the universe come from when the big bang occurred? He said, they don't know. Then I said:

So if you ask me where did God come from, and I say I don't know. You are going to say its a religion, but now I asked you, where did all the dirt come from, and you said, you don't know. So according to your logic, evolution is a religion.

He replied saying evolution is a scientifically proven fact. I asked, really? Has evolution ever been tested? Observed? Experimented with? Given small examples with predicted outputs? No? Well in that case, it is not scientifically proven.

Albert Einstein said:

I have found no better expression than "religious" for confidence in the rational nature of reality [...] Whenever this feeling is absent, science degenerates into uninspired empiricism.

What? The man who created the theory of relativity, solved the mystery of the atoms etc. says your choice for believing in reality is religion! Well thats what I have been saying this whole time!

See, not only does evolution not have ANY proof to back it up, believers are also stubborn. Evolution is not a fact, its an unproven theory! Atheism is a religion, you believe there is no God! You believe in evolution, which is a theory, which must means atheism is a religion to!

No matter which way you go, evolution is not science, evolution is religious, so why won't people admit this?
Thats all for this post, we will continue this discussion later in Debate shame, Part #2!

Carbon Dating, Part 2!

Hello! Its been a few hours since I wrote the Carbon Dating, Part 1! And that explained why carbon dating does not work. This entry are some examples when carbon dating has failed. The information is gathered from various people and websites.
First, any live animal or any plant is supposed to be dated to 0. As you will see in a moment, it doesn't.

Someone once said: "If a C14 date supports our theories, we put it in the main text. If it does not entirely contradict them, we put it in as a footnote. And if its completely 'out of date', we drop it."

Someone else said that the accepted dates are selected dates.

In 1949, a mammoth was carbon dated. The mammoths lower leg dated back to 15 380 years, the skin and the flesh however, dated back to 21 300 years.

In 1963, a live mollusk dated shells were dated back to 2300 years old.

In 1971, a freshly killed seal was dated back to 1300 years ago.

In 1975, a mammoth was carbon dated, one part dated back to 29 500 years ago and the other part 44 000 years ago.

In 1975, a frozen baby mammoth was carbon dated, one part dated back to 40 000 years and another part 26 000.

In 1984, shells from a living snail was dated back to 27 000 years ago.

In 1992, 2 mammoths, found next to each other, were dated with the ages of 22 850 and 16 150.

20 year old hard lave was dated back to thousand of years (I cannot remember the precise date).

A pig skull that died in 1470, was dated back to 1,2 million years.

The list goes on and on and on. It is not logical to believe that carbon dating works. It never has worked, nothing that was ever carbon dated was every proved. So they might date something to 1,2 million years ago, but they don't know for sure so they accept that date. So they have no second opinion. So with all of this I believe that carbon dating does not work and it also does not prove that the earth is millions of years old.

Feel free to leave comments, email me with questions, suggestions for a next topic etc.

Carbon dating, Part 1!

Hello, I'm back!
I am here to make my first "official" post. The one 30 minutes ago doesn't count as it contained next to nothing information! Please note, when working with figures I try to round them, its just easier to read.

Well, if you read my previous post you would know that here I am going to talk about why carbon dating does not work. I will explain step by step. Here goes.

Allot of people would say carbon dating proves that the earth is millions of years old. They dated the fossils! Firstly I want to say that is not true. They determine what the age of the fossils are based on their position in the Geologic column, which doesn't exist anywhere, but in text books. (Later I might write about this.) They get a fossil in a layer and say, this is in this layer so it must be approximately this old. That is number one, not scientific proof, its a guess. And number two, stupid. As we will see when I am discussing the Geologic column.

Before I can explain why carbon dating doesn't work, everyone needs to know the science about it. I will summarize it here, it beats reading wikipedia! Even if you know how carbon dating works, read this, you might learn something new.

Firstly, you have to know, the earth's atmosphere is about 160 KM thick (about 100 miles)
The air is mostly nitrogen. About 78% A little bit of oxygen, about 21%, a little less than 1% argon and about 0.038% carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide is what plants use. If you would increase the amount of carbon dioxide, the plants would grow faster. There is an incredibly small amount of radioactive carbon 14. Now how is that possible? Well, the radiotion from the sun collides against the atmosphere and this produces radioactive carbon 14 (I will now refer to radioactive carbon 14 as C14), this then combines this the oxygen and creates carbon dioxide (I will now refer to carbon dioxide as CO2). So C14 is very very rare and it does not stay stable. It is always breaking apart. After it breaks apart it turns back into nitrogen. It disappears with the gas and then disappears with the air.

So C14 is being produced by the atmosphere by the sun and about half of it breaks down about every 5500 years. So in theory C14 will never be 0, it will be 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc.

Plants always breath in C14, during photosynthesis (A part of the CO2 is C14). Animals eat plants, and it is then part of their body. So continuously we are absorbing C14. We eat plants or eat animals that have eaten plants. Now, if we die, we are obviously not going to absorb any more C14.

Now here comes the big problem. Assumption, they are assuming something is true, but have no actual proof for it.
They assume, the amount of C14 found in the air is the same amount that are found in the animals. For example, the atmosphere has about 0.038% C14. It is assumed that all of us have the same. I don't know about anyone who has ever been tested for C14. It might be true, I don't know, but it is an assumption, that is where all the dangers come from.

When a plant or animal dies, the C14 begins to decay. And NOT being added again, unlike when the animals are alive. So carbon dating is basically measuring the amount of C14 in an object with the amount of carbon in the athmosphere. If the object has only half the amount in the athmosphere, they would assume its been dead for 1 half life. If it only has 1/4 as much its been dead for 2 half lifes. 2 times 5500. It continues like that. So they are comparing the amount in the object with the amount in the atmosphere. That is how carbon dating works. Lets look at a practical example.

I tell you fill a barrel full of water. And I make holes in the barrel. While you throw water in it will start to flow out. So its getting more and less at the same time. At some point you are going to reach the stage called the equilibrium. In other words, you will never fill the barrel past that point. Unless you increase the input or decrease the output.

So the atmosphere is constantly taking in C14 from the sun, and its constantly losing it. Now the question is, how long would it take the atmosphere to reach the equilibrium stage? After some test and stuff a while ago, they claimed it would take about 30 000 years. The whole problem is, we have not reached equilibrium yet. There is more C14 now than there was 50 years ago. Scientists say C14 is forming 29% faster than it decays. So, with some logic, it means the earth is less than 30 000 years old. And this is what (most) creationists have been saying all these years.

Lets look at another example.
If you walk into a room and you see a candle burning and I ask a very simple question, how long has the candle been burning? You would say you don't know, you just got here. I would say, ok, lets do some science, lets prove it by using tests. So the both of us are now working as a team to figure out how long has the candle been burning.

We decide we start by measuring its height. Lets say its about 18 CM tall (about 7 inches). So now, when was it lit? We don't know, we don't have enough information. So, lets measure how fast it burns. Lets say after careful measure we find out it burns 2.5 CM a hour (about 1 inch). Now when was it lit? You can't tell me unless you make an assumption!
#1. How tall was it?
#2. Has it always burnt at the same rate?
Doesn't matter what you choose it can't be proven.

So if you find a fossil in the dirt, all you know is that it died. The amount of C14 can be measured very precisely and a rate of decay can be determined. Now when did it live? No one has any idea, unless assumptions are made (the candle story above). To work out how old it was you would have to know how many C14 was in it when it was alive and if the earth atmosphere has reached equilibrium. Which it hasn't.

Now the bible says there was a water/ice canopy above the earth's atmosphere (a topic for another day). Now that canopy would keep out quite a bit of C14. So if you find an animal that died in the time of the big flood (when the canopy was also destroyed). So when carbon dating an animal that died in the flood, they would assume that when this animal lived the atmosphere was the same as it is today, which it wasn't according to the bible.

So thats why I believe carbon dating doesn't work. I wrote this entry very very fast so it might contain errors, please email me about those errors at mrtnstolk@gmail.com or pm me. Or even email me if you have any questions. I would be happy to answer them.

Feel free to leave your comments, but I ask everyone to try and be polite.

Thank you for reading this entry.

Introduction

Hello, my name is Martin, allot people know me as zappy77.
I am 16 years old and I live in South Africa.

I started this blog to basically try to get people to stop believing in evolution and start believing there is a God. In other words, I am a creationist and I would like to get some more of them!

Basically what is going to come in this blog are a bunch of discussions, debate, evidence etc. on the complex topic, evolution vs creation. I respect people that believe in evolution and I expect everyone who reads this to respect my religion and not to flame. I will try to update the blog atleast once a week.

The first topic I am going to talk about is carbon dating, it will be divided into 2 parts, number 1, why carbon dating does not work and number 2, some examples of carbon dating gone wrong.

Thats all for now, see you next time!

-Martin
