So you yourself are a theist? I was formally making general notes to the group. It seems certain some of this group are avowed atheists as they make outrageous claims and special pleadings like "no religious scientist is a true scientist." I'm embarrassed to tell people, "atheists like to assault theists at the ReligiousForums site".

I believe that the biblical story of creation doesn't describe God's original creation of Earth, but it actually describes the recreation of the Earth 6,000 years ago by God for the benefit of newly formed life who would have souls such as Adam, Eve and their descendants. I believe that according to the first few verses of Holy scripture in the book of Genesis, the Earth already had existed with water during the first day of its recreation. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" - (Genesis 1:1-2)

I believe there was an older version of Earth that God had destroyed with a cloud of darkness and water, so that He could recreate the Earth with the right conditions for us humans who have souls. I think the first chapter of Genesis is widely misinterpreted as a narrative about the creation of Earth; whereas, it should be correctly interpreted as a narrative about the recreation of the Earth with more favorable conditions for human souls to exist. Does anybody else agree that the first few verses in the book of Genesis have been widely misinterpreted as a creation narrative; whereas, it should be correctly interpreted as a recreation narrative?

although I do not conform to these beliefs, I do find it interesting that you feel that way. Mayans also believed in the Earth being recreated across millennium. My questions for you are, why do you think that the Earth was recreated? are your thoughts based on evidence in the bible or speculation of the first verses?
What do you believe the Earth was liked before God recreated it?

Gosh, all the posts I've seen that TFSM exists were made by atheists. Are you sure? I'll make you a deal, since you seem open-minded. Prove TFSM doesn't exist and I'll prove that God does exist.

Atheists get also spiritual experiences and unexpected contacts with the divine. It is only their blindness and rebellious character that prevent them to accept His revelation and to think, instead, to have made Him up.

So yes, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is exactly as plausible as Jesus.

I'm not the OP. I do not believe in a Genesis 1:1-2 age gap theory or a "recreation" theory from the same passage.

No, sorry, I wrote, "Prove that TFSM does NOT exist and I'll prove how it is that God exists."

You are not helping your case. If any garbage atheists put on a website [TFSM] is both possible and plausible, you have no God-given right to ignore creation, logic, teleology, archaeology, etc. which point to the love and truth of Jesus Christ.

If you feel I have a confirmatory bias, please demonstrate so now by proving TFSM does NOT exist--this will show that you yourself take nothing on mere faith but rely solely on wisdom, facts and logic.

Ready, set, go... I'm listening.

nice try.
The point is your confirmation bias, not mine.

I have never made any claim that I do not take anything on faith.
That is your strawman.

Though I am curious how you think proving TFSM doesn't exist somehow shows your bias.
Perhaps you should think things through a bit more before posting?

Thank you for sharing your opinions with me! I also do not believe in these things, as I do not follow Judeo-Christianity.
However, I'd love to know your reasons for not believing in the age gap theory.

I think that the Flying Spaghetti Monster has more scientific evidence than Jesus. He goes at the heart of the fundamental fabric of Nature. So, belief in Him is entirely justified. In any any case, more than the belief in a God that spawned Himself to get a weekend off for saving us from the consequences caused by some clueless proto-humans who allegedly ate an apple. I mean, who would believe that?

On the other hand, String Theory, promises to combine relativity and quantum theory, and to explain whole of reality.

A reality based on fundamental and irreducible things that look suspiciously close to His holy Noodles.

Isn't that evidence enough?
