There is something seriously wrong with science!
The Bible says that the universe was created by God approximately 6000 years ago (4004 BC). It also says that the universe was created in 6 days. Science says that the universe was created billions of years ago when nothing exploded (Big Bang theory). Both cannot be right, say the atheists and agnostics. Therefore there is something seriously wrong with science.
There are a couple of resources I want to share with you that can be starting points on your journey to discover the truth, especially since modern science dominates the worldview of most people. It can be very confusing to Christians who believe the Bible and have to explain why modern science contradicts a lot of what the Bible says.
One good resource is Kent Hovind’s series of seminars on Creation Science. Kent Hovind was a high school teacher before starting his Creation Science ministry. He is currently in jail for tax evasion. He may not have the complete explanation that reconciles modern science and the Bible, but his approach is sound, and his theories interesting. I compiled a playlist his seminars and you can view this at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D62707163A0BE3CB .
Another good resource for those of you who are more mathematically minded and with some background in modern physics is the Association for Biblical Astronomy. Their website (www.geocentricity.com) has a lot of information on Geocentricity. You might be shocked to hear that the Bible says that the earth is not moving, and is actually the center of the universe.
Finally, there are the theistic scientists who work at the Discovery Institute. Their papers can be found at their website (www.discovery.org).
One thing we know for certain: it is Jesus Christ who created the universe and He holds it together. It is written:
1 Cor 9-17 “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.”
I think that will do for now. See www.youtube.com/georgeamarcelo if you want more.

Is GOD even a him? or does he knows no gender?
Surely if there is GOD, Man dare not to comprehend him. For we are but insignificant specks in comparison.
And with such limited knowledge, can we claim that GOD existed?
Are we that egotistic?
I believe we do.
May be there is GOD, I dare not ask.
But I know many who need him.
Thus GOD exist, even for the need of Man alone.
For that reason above others.
Knowledge of God is not something that can be attained by human effort alone. The best that you can do is invent a false god, also known as an idol. Many religions do this, in fact. It is the living God of the Bible that reveals Himself to people He chooses. It is written:
1 Cor 22-25 “For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”
The passage shows that only those that are called by God know God. Miracles and philosophy will not be enough to know God.

The Bible says that the universe was created by God approximately 6000 years ago (4004 BC)
no it doesn’t.
You are correct that the Bible does not contain this particular statement.
The 6 day creation of the universe at 4004BC can be determined since the Bible gives the ages of the father when the son was born for the ancestors of Jesus Christ. Since the genealogy from Adam to Jesus is given in Luke, and since we know that Christ was born around 4BC, then we can determine this age of the universe. The technical details are too numerous to include here, but you can easily Google this information. Some older Study Bibles include the year in the margin. An example is the Companion Bible which is available from Amazon. Kent Hovind’s ministry has some nice charts which he shows a bit of in the video. Here is a good reference too: http://www.creation-science-prophecy.com/timeline.htm

Hold on. You’re trying to use the Bible to support a christian hypothesis?
That’s just circular logic in effect. For instance; christianity can only be true if the bible is true and accurate but the bible can only be true if christianity is.
Seems akin to trying to fly by picking yourself up by your own shoelaces.
No, I am not using the Bible to support a Christian hypothesis. I am not even trying to prove the Bible is right. I am testifying that I know the Bible is true. I give a testimony about how this happened in an earlier blog. You cannot know the Bible is true unless God acts. God is the one who converts. This can be done as Jesus Christ paid for our sins on the cross and so enabled us to be reconciled to God if we believe in what Jesus did for us.
1Cor 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
I assert in this blog that current science is not true, as it does not agree with the Bible which I know is true.
God bless,

But the only way the bible can be true, is that christianity is true. The only way that christianity can be true is if the bible is true – and the only way to prove one is through the other.
And you seriously can’t see the problem with that sort of reasoning?
Since I know the Bible is true via conversion by God, therefore the truth of the Bible for me becomes a postulate (or unproven assumption). If God did not convert you, then this postulate will appear foolish, as stated in 1 Cor 1:18.
The establishment have kept hidden for the last 130 years, 3 scientific experiments which prove a geocentric universe.

It’s what they didn’t want you to know!
I praise the Lord for your comment, Andrew. I looked at the website that you mentioned and it is an excellent addition to the other sources of information contained in my post.
