Romans 1- For since the creation of the world God's eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen.

Yeah the popular "science" leads away from God, real science leads right to him 😎

You'd need to define God first...

He's the ultimate being who exists because he has to exist. Hes omnipotent, omnipresent and all knowing. He created the world and everything in it

Now what do you define as "the world"? And why do you say "he HAS to exist"?

The world is the earth and the dome and the planets I guess...
There's also heaven and stuff
He has to exist because nothing can exist out of nothing. It's logical that everything that exists has to have been created, because where did it come from back and back and back? God's the only answer

If God is the only answer, it means we're not scientifically advanced enough to give a definite answer. Period.

No, God gave us a lot of answers to a lot of things (the bible) and he also made us in his image, which means we kind of have a mind like he does. Unlike animals, we think about things like the universe and eternity and if there's a God

We are animals though, and how do you know other animals don't have a mind or think about stuff unrelated to survival? Also, how is the Bible any different from the Quran or other holy books? Does Allah not exist then? And what about the FSM, which iš considered a joke, but could just as well be the truth?

Yes, faith and science can coexist.

But these are two different types of truth. One that is actually true and one you consider true. Also, you don't consider "divine intervention" to be an explaination of anything, do you? If you do, don't talk about anything related to science

A supernatural event such as the creation of life is describing an event that exists outside of the normal laws of science so is not governed nor controlled by science as you rightly say. Biogenesis, of course being one of those laws. As such the opposite or abiogenesis, living matter from non life would be a supernatural event or something outside science. The creation of time, matter, and the universe would also be a supernatural event as matter can neither be created nor destroyed (The law of conservation of mass, as you no doubt are aware).

You misquote the first law of thermodynamics. It doesn't say that matter can't be created nor destroyed. It says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another. Matter is a form of energy that is in a conserved state. Matter can still be converted back to energy and energy can be converted into matter, but the energy itself can never be created or destroyed. There is something called quantum fluctations where even in a perfect vaccum, tiny particles of matter are spontaneously created out of energy, then converted back to energy again, proving that matter can in fact be created and destroyed but never the energy itself.

So maybe we need to research matter creation?

Why would we?

Uhmm, I don't know. Maybe it could prove useful?

i mean, evolution could very well exist, who said that adam was exactly like we are today?

Adam was not as we are today.
His DNA was without error.
Our DNA is degrading. Each generation starts with the degradation of every proceeding generation and our life adds to the degradation. Notice the ages of those of Adam and his sons until the global flood of Noah's time. Superior DNA and superior environment. Remember also that he had access to both "Trees" that were mentioned in Eden from the beginning. One gave life, the other initiated permanent separation from God and the process of physical death.
There is no known process where the information contained within the human genome, or any other gains knowledge. Mutations do happen, but all of the observed ones are either neutral or negative. A toy poodle was designed by breeding for specific outcomes. This type of breeding, breeds other attributes out. It is achieved at the expense of information, not because it added any.

This is where Evolution and natural selection seem to butt heads.

Evolution, as a "fact of life", cannot exist in harmony with the Bible. Millions of years of death and destruction prior to the first sin is a direct contradiction to it. If death exists before sin in the Garden of Eden, then there is no point to the death of the Son of God upon the cross. If one doesn't believe the Word of God is accurate from the very beginning, when does the Bible start to be the truth? The Bible is His story as it relates to His actions and interactions with us.

How do you reconcile 2Peter 3:8 with the Adam and Eve creation account? How do you reconcile the second creation account ("male and female he created them",with the firs? It only makes sense if it is understood to be a metaphor. It would still be truth, but not literal truth.

One day is as a thousand years does not point to the creation week. It describes the relative notion of time to a being not constrained by time. He knows the future well enough to publish prophecies for centuries and millenia ahead, from date of the prophecy to fulfillment because He exists at all times. "I Am" clearly states this. Yeshua, aka Jesus , states " Have you not read, that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female". If humanity was not made literally in the beginning, then Jesus was using erroneous wording to explain the truth. If they were created after thousands, millions, or even billions of years, "the beginning" would be considered a lie.
The word Yom along with darkness and light periods everywhere else in the Bible means what we would refer to as a 24 hour period.
Notice the order of the creation week as contained within the KJV:
Day 1: let there be light - no sun and no moon, just light.
Day 2: sky and water.
Day 3: dry land, sea and plants.
Day 4: the sun, moon, and the rest of the stars.
Day 5: creatures of the air and sea.
Day 6: animals and humanity.
This is told as historical narrative, not in a metaphorical context.
The "second creation account" is commonly misunderstood as it provides detail to creation. Chapter 1 covers creation in broad strokes while the first few verses of chapter 2 provide details about the creation of man and woman, where they lived and God's instructions to them.
There is no way to accurately sandwich millenia in the creation account.

Thank you for a cogent and thoughtful answer. As a Catholic I always wondered how Bible fundamentalists are able to reconcile seemingly contradictory passages. You are probably aware, though, that there are more than a few atheists who were former Bible Christians or raised in that faith, who never got past the more difficult passages in the Bible and ended up rejecting the Gospel message.

Absolutely. Many are lost due in large part to this very issue. The theory of evolution was proposed to instill confusion and doubt within the pages of the Bible. The one that said in Eden, "Did God really say?", needed humanity to doubt the veracity of the Word of God. When someone doubts the beginning, it becomes easier to get people to doubt the rest.

Naw I meant evolution from the creation of Adam, like Adam was created and we evolved from him, for better or for worse.

Not much evolving there. More like de evolution. But he was disobedient on one issue and humanity has, perhaps, become disobedient on many.

It is literal. The word "Yom" as it is used here clearly means what we would see as a 24:hour day.

Oh wow, that's deep

Even the theory of evolution points back to a Creator. The smallest most primitive single cell bacteria are still irreducibly complex - things that wouldn't have come into being without some kind of intervention (act of God).

Exactly!☝️🙏😌

Maybe there was no intervention and everything is in motion since, literally, forever?

The Steady State theory was popular in the 1950s but was discredited by among other things the discovery of quasars. Current evidence supports the Big Bang Theory, first proposed in 1931 by Roman Catholic priest and physicist Georges Lemaître. "Let there be light."

But what would have happened before may not have required any intervention...
