    I don't because the mass of the original element is the sum of the masses of the product elements.

    I don't see matter turned into energy, just energy released. I also see energy applied, especially when there is no chain reaction. Or in the case of a nuke, to implode the core.

    Let's just say if there was an archaeological discovery that contradicted the Bible, you'd have heard about it.

    E=mc^2 is not a matter of fact. It is not a LAW of science. It is part of the THEORY of relativity,

    You think news didn't travel before the internet? Even word-of-mouth can travel faster than 1,000 miles per 100 years (0.0011 mph)!

    Yes true; but how do you suppose sheephearders would know in great detail of locations, dates and people? There are people that have little to no association with the circle they would be associated with. Stop reaching Foo!

    nope =) if you want an argument for fossils from a literal biblical flood perspective then there are sources and sound arguments for those too:

    http://www.answersingenesis.org/

    But there are also many Christians who believe in evolution, and since the Bible doesn't even mention fossils there is nothing there to contradict.

    Okay Mr. Playing with words. The link that started this mess on that Singularity Theory. Is it indisputable?

    What reaction are you talking about here? Mass is energy. If energy is released, mass is decreased, whether or not it's a chain reaction.

    As much as you and I can disagree; The one thing I always see agreement on are when Atheists always chime in with evolution or the age of the universe, etc.

    A simple answer that could support the literal term could mean so many different things. If God isn't part of Matter, Space and Time; then a day to him is what? 1 day, 1000 days, 1000000 days, infinite days? Regardless of when the Universe and Earth were created; it was only a day to God. I mean basically it really doesn't matter to God.

    And to further explain the "concept" If God is trying to explain to man how the earth and universe was created; how would he? If he is not bound by space and time; yet man is; how can man even conceive the actual start date of the universe?

    I missed this post sorry. So if something is created doesn't that imply that there is a creator? God is immaterial and we are made in the image of God according to the Bible. How can something not-personal that doesn't exist create you in a certain image? I think you shot yourself in the foot a bit here.

    You're going to have to identify some specific sheepherders. Do you know which ones, exactly, were responsible for different chapters? Who was in their circle? Or are you just supposing that it was a "Joseph Smith" style miracle? How could he have possibly written the entire Book of Mormon? His dad was just a farmer!

    I have less of a problem with the age of the earth/universe than I do with the theory that man evolved from an ape-like creature. If it were proven that we did not evolve from an ape-like ancestor then it essentially proves we are created beings in a created world, and it's easy to understand why many people would not like the implications of that. Problem with authority maybe? Depraved in sin in rebellion against God? Who knows.

    Nobody claims it is fact. Your side misrepresents that truth. Of course it's disputable. There is just mountains of verifiable evidence for a Big Bang.

    Moses, Isaiah, Abraham, Peter was a fisherman.

    And we aren't talking miracles. We are talking about historical evidence. I take it you don't believe in miracles; so I took that equation.

    You're saying that Exodus was written BY Moses? Why does he never refer to himself as "I"?
