#18, 19 If space is empty/nothing/something...?

"space" is the place of which all matter and energy exists.
space is just a big vacuum. its just a bunch of nothingness. No air or anything. We can move through it just like you can move in a vacuumed container.
The mythbusters use a vacuum for many of their experiments, such as testing a flags movement in space.

If space is a big vacuum where does the sucking begin and to where does it go?

It's simply space with no or very little matter in it such as air. Not a process used to create a vacuum like pumping air out of a container.

I'm not sure, but I found a picture which clearly seems to show the point of origin...

This shows he isn't rejecting science. He's rejects a fiction of his own imaginings. I suppose that's a positive.

I have noticed that most creationists do not argue against evolution, they argue against some strawman they call evolution.

Okay, first off, if evolution was proved to be true without a doubt I would easily say the Bible is completely false and become completely atheistic.

Wrong. You are looking at the bible in a western context(either it happened or it didn't). You have to understand it in it's Jewish pre-modern context. The Jewish authors were less interested in being chroniclers than making statements of faith. They would use literary forms such as midrashic literature. There is no Hebrew word for history. I am not saying there is no history in the bible. The bible contains history, myth, prose & literature. The OT writers often took a historical event and then retell it in story form to convey their theological interpretation of the event(Historiosophy).

Do Jews take the story of exodus as an actual historical event??

Some of the things those creationists think evolution is, though, it's no wonder they deny it. According to them, we believe pigs give birth to dogs and stuff like that.

A big problem is creationist like myself always get way too many conflicting answers to what evolution is. My definition alwways was "How the Heavens and Earth developed to what they are today". However I find that most say it doesnt even have to do with that and there is no book of science that is considered 100% correct so everytime we prove stuff in evolution blatently wrong supporters change their definitions and explanations.

A big thing in modern education, especially now that information is in abundance and time is not, is to know how to tell the good stuff from the bad.

My definition alwways was "How the Heavens and Earth developed to what they are today".

Then you have been wrong.

...so everytime we prove stuff in evolution blatently wrong...

Such as when?
