Indeed, as furshur asked, "deny what?" The page has a bunch of facts written on it. None of those facts conflict with evolutionary theory, Big Bang theory, or anything else...

...except perhaps the Bible. After all, one interpretation of the Bible says that the heavens are fixed and unchanging. Supernovas really put the lie to that one.

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

Evidentally, electrons and protons orbit an atom in his universe. Everywhere else, protons are part of the nucleus of an atom and electrons orbit the nucleus of the atom.

This is also the universe where bats lack eyes.

Actually, what he said is that the atom itself is only comprized of neutrons. Does that mean that simple hydrogen with an atomic weight of 1 isn't an atom in his universe?

I suppose that it is concievable that one day I might feel an irrational urge to move a mountain. At that time, I will put my faith in earth-moving machinery and high explosives. Those have a history of reliability whereas just hoping and praying does not.

Proof is all around me? Odd, I've yet to see any such thing. Please help me out here; what proofs?

Faith makes you believe you moved the mountain. I can't really see anything that would make me conclude that there is a god (and especially your god), or salvation, or afterlife, etc.

You want no part of salvation, fine. My God is the one that made this universe, not Mr. Big Bang. How did Hubble get into space and find only more galaxies bigger than our own. I know that if you got a bigger telescope into orbit you would find more galaxies. That's alot of realestate for one planet in the Milky way, no?

What, in a little tiny planet you pretend to know the purpose of this universe? Evil, God knows good and evil, as do you. So make a choice who you serve. Mammon or God, its that simple. You can't serve both.

What I want to be true doesn't really matter. Anyway, I didn't even say whether I wanted salvation or afterlife, so I'm not sure where you got that from.

Yes, the universe does appear to be quite large... at least from our perspective.

I believe fire-and-brimstone preachings were very popular in the middle ages, but since then, man's knowledge has progressed far beyond that. Only small pockets of anachronism still exist today, and I hope that you will one day find your way out of it, Verlch.

Who says that I have to serve either?

So, not being satisfied with showing a profound ignorance of the ToE and the biological sciences, verlch is starting to expand his horizons into astronomy. As my own knowledge of the science is less than impressive (pretty limited, actually), I'll limit my comments. But I am curious about the following:

Ignoring the salvation fol-de-rol, how do you know that God directly created the universe? How can you be sure that s/he didn't instead create the Big Bang, doing it the easy way? And what was the rascal up to before the creation of the universe? Further, I might mention that the story-tellers creating the Bible hadn't the faintest idea of what a galaxy is. Thus, you are adding to the text and if you're not careful, God's apt to sue your ass!

I myself think that the Great, Cosmic, Roman-Nosed Mule farted (Big Bang) the universe into being after getting colic from eating too many celestial apples. Unless you can you prove me wrong, my hypothisis is just as good as yours.

Ah, Astronomy. Now we're finally entering one of my favorite subjects (albeit not my field of choice: I'm just an amateur, but I certainly have more knowledge of Astronomy than our fundie buddy). But wait! I'm just an ignorant woman. Nevermind then.

C'mom, Verlch. Throw me your best shot. How in the ding dang is the size of the Universe related to your insane ideas, and further, why do you think we're the only in this Universe, since you call it our 'realstate'?

It appears that there are 200 billion stars traveling around the center of the galaxy, yet we can't even see a planet on the closet stars. Many of these stars ars so big they can fit inside the orbit of mars. Or are bigger than the orbit of mars. All of this matter came together by chance, void of any design? Please. You think we are the only ones here? There are plenty of more worlds out there I think, including heaven. I think the whole universe revolves around God in heaven. It would be fitting for God who is bigger than life.
