Dear Azza:
The statement is based on science/astronomy, and the Scriptures.
Jesus died for the sins of the "world," not the sins of the "universe."
Eve is the "mother of all living," etc., etc., etc.
I should think that all people know that interstellar space travel is
physically impossible. Even traveling at millions of miles an hour,
there are very few places that one could go in less than a thousand years!
Everything is TOO FAR AWAY.
God be with you,
Ray
Hello Brenda,
Technically, there is no scripture that does not say specifically to not smoke marijuana. And it is from the earth... ;)
The whole counsel of God is required (the sum of thy Word is truth...Ps 119:160) to distinguish between truth and fiction. Anything that is not of God is sin such as entertaining the idea of little green men. 8)
Hope this helps,
Marques

Some of the complexities show huge jumps. This is perfectly inline with the scriptures, that God created simple life forms, then more and more complex life forms. The last species to apear on earth according to science, the most recent addition to the earths species is modern man. Funny that, because thats exactly what the Bible says ;)
We've already seen that God created the conditions for the earth to bring forth plant life. Personally I do not dismiss the idea that God did the same with other species, created the conditions for them to be brought forth.

Funny thing you mention this stuff, because I've been pondering over these Scriptures for awhile:
GENESIS 1:20:
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
GENESIS 1:24-25:
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
I recall (as everyone else who's listened to/watched the Creation study from the Conference, or was blessed enough to be there) how Ray went over verse 11 which talks about 'the Earth' bringing forth all the seed for trees, plants, etc. But I don't remember if he also went over the above two about the Earth bringing forth creatures... [guess I'll have to listen to it again soon]
I also recall him going over the difference between the Hebrew words 'bara' and 'asa'. The first meaning to create something totally new, and the second to mold or fashion from existing materials.
It appears to me that Genesis actually agrees with the idea of species 'evolving' from other species, though not in the sense that Atheists try to make it. So many people (especially Religious) snap whenever they hear the word "evolve", but the word itself simply means to "to develop gradually". :o Just because the Earth is millions (or billions) of years old, and things "evolve-develop gradually" doesn't discount that fact that GOD is behind all of it!
Like Ray always says, "PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORDS!!" ;D
Over & Out,

Marques,
As I always do, I appreciate your comments and your great ability to share Ray's info with us. :)
I hope you know I was being "Cheeky" when I said little green men. ;)
As I said...I personally wasn't talking a stand against it,...neither am I endorsing it.
At this time I have no opinion, and however interesting....don't find it relevant to my faith one way or another.
Always searching for the Truth,
Brenda

The English words Cosmos and Cosmology, words which refer to the universe and the study of it come from the Greek word Kosmos, which is the word translated "world" in the NT scriptures.
