I don't care whether God made the earth in 6 days or 6 billion years. Whats's really important is that His Son died for my sins. That's important in my life.
I'm glad that makes you happy.
personally it does nothing at all for me. But then I never take anything on faith. I don't believe something until I can tear it apart, analyze it, develop a hypothesis, make predictions about the outcome of that hypothesis, then test those predictions to the breaking point.
Then I have a
THEORY. Not necessarily the truth but the best explanation for the observed facts.
That, in a nut shell, is the scientific method.
I just fail to see any evidence that religion and any kind of belief in God or his son, are any more than primitive superstitions. Just like walking under a ladder only more organized.
People seem have a built in desire to beleive that there is something more to all this than just random events. They like to endow inanimate objects with inteligence.
In the early cave man days they probably thought fire was alive. Later they decided that volcanoes were where the fire god lived. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions were his wrath. They made sacrifices to appease him.
Later, science discovered the truth behind volcanoes so the God theory was left behind but instead of deciding there was no God, people just moved him to a new place and kept right on beleiving.
My outlook on th whole subject is that the universe is a harsh, cold, unfeeling mess of random occurences which just happened to produce life on our planet. The rest is just evolution and history.
