As stated in an earlier post I said I do not believe in religion. I am not writing to debate religion if that is your preference them you may have that. The question remains the earth is 4.5 billions years. The religious calender for sake of argument starts year one and mans evolution began I think about 200000 BC years before that. It is said that judea was the first and christianity was about 300 and 500 AD, islam appeared around 720 AD. there is no proven record that any religion can document any miracles by any god of those times, quite the contrary they were all war faring. I see that man after their inception into an intelligent thinking human beings created everything else the good and the bad. The big bang theory makes more sense to me for their were no gods or religion at that time. I am not against religion but have reservations about the religions which have not progressed with the progression of time. I just do not believe based on scientific fact.

Genesis 1 New King James Version (NKJV)

The History of Creation
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

I did Science, Experimental Physics in College before I took a detour. A mate of mine who stayed at it and progressed into the Post Doctoral told me basically It's the same thing as religion. They have their prophets, their Gods, and they choose to believe what is right and what is not right in the form of theories. Some theories will hold out for 20+ years depending on which God proposed it, to the detriment of the correct theory that came from a relative unknown. The relative unknown's theory is akin to blasphemy!

People have always believed in gods and spirits.

It was a way of trying to understand the world they lived in.

To understand nature, catastrophes, change.

Then respectfully explain what the scientific community bring facts and proof that man was not created in the images of a god but evolved from microorganisms over thousands of years.. We has seen the various stages of mans evolution from simple life forms into homo sapien. Where did the neanderthals, and so many other early species come from for their remains were unearthed and dated in intervals of time..

Science has made great strides in resolving the theories of creation and have some conclusive facts to support their findings.To be fair I think the research done on the book by Bill O'reilly "Killing Jesus" was unable to qualify any miracle by jesus Christ. The earth is said to be 4.5 billion years, now science says man evolved over 200,000 years. Then the religious theory of the six days creation and the sabbath is challenged severely. I do not mock religion and do not want to dissuade the believers I just present another side of the controversy.

Just like any form of a social clan, call it religion or what, they are increasing in number and in names,,, there's always someone who is there to rule, and the regression or the progression of his/her believers are programmed to serve to the purpose of the creator, often times personal, before anybody else, an innocent mind don't analize, they follow.

I like your theory would you elaborate. Define innocent mind as applied. if you care to send e-mail

The History of Creation
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
This essentially negates the question of the thread 'time of earth before religion' as this states that before creation the spirit of god moved over the darkness. So there was religion, as such, before the earth was created.
