shimrod,- presumably you now know what is meant by the "steady state" .
so what is this scientific evidence that points to "something like something from nothing" then ?.
stu says " how come the totally innocent suffer then " I don't pretend to have the complete answer to that, and as much as I do know from scripture, certainly wont be accepted by you.
following adam and eves disobedience God pronounced a curse on the earth. suffering came into the world as a consequence of sin and judgment. I know that raises more questions and challenges, but my job is not to defend God ,where I don't know all the answers, but proclaim his message.
well steve, as you know, I don't accept that science has explained as much as you claim, and even your beloved Darwin acknowledged that the data could be otherwise accounted for beside his ideas.
and if anything, there is even more to explain as science uncovers even more complexity. now the genetic code is found to have another code on that, so that there is even more accounted for in DNA. seems the complexity is often irreducible....but of course an evolutionist is committed to deny that.
