[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know there are no sentient beings living in any of those other galaxies?  Maybe there are billions of other planets with life. [/quote]

Because the bible would say that if it were so.[/quote]

The Bible doesn’t mention anything protons or electrons.  But they exist.  The Bible was written by people, not by God.  It’s not a Science textbook. [/quote]

Agree, big time. [/quote]

I heard a preacher on the radio say "who wrote Genesis? God. Because he was the only one around at that time."  Of course it's highly unlikely God wrote books, and spoke of himself in the third person, but hey ... some believe the Bible is the literal word of God.  [/quote]

Moses could have received direct revelation from God as to what happened in the beginning. This would be consistent with the way God has revealed Himself in other parts of Scripture. For example, God revealed the future to the prophets, such as Isaiah and Jeremiah. It is, therefore, certainly possible that He could have told Moses what had happened in the past as He told others what would happen in the future.

There is also the likelihood that records of God's dealings with humanity were kept from the beginning. The personal touch in which we find these events recorded, such as Abraham's prayer for Sodom, and his offering of Isaac, gives evidence that what we have are firsthand accounts. We know that Abraham came from a country where reading and writing were common. It is possible that he could have collected any earlier records and brought them with him. Scripture also tells us that Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac (Genesis 25:5). It is possible that records from earlier times were among his possessions.

Although the events of Genesis concluded three hundred years before Moses was born there are still excellent reasons to believe he wrote or at least compiled the first book of the Bible. In addition, Moses could have written about creation without having been there by either receiving direct revelation from God or by making use of records that were already in existence. [b]Whatever the case may be, the finished result was the inspired, inerrant Word of God. [/b][/quote]

Inerrant huh? So you believe the sun was created on the third day?[/quote]
