Arguments Of Instant Creationism

86 Words1 Page

Instant Creationists believe that the duration of an act of creation to be much shorter than six literal human days. The main argument behind is that the days of creation could not be related to human time since God is timeless. Some instant creationists believe that the act of creation had happened parallel in an instant and there is no actual perceivable time gaps between the events while others consider the process to be completed sequentially in less than literal six human days as in genesis.

The Renaissance during the 1400 's and 1500 's certainly threw a wrench into the status-quo but it wasn 't until the Darwinian Evolution during the mid-1800s that these evolutionary beliefs became widely accepted.

    There are many creation myths and not all are the same but many share some similarities, they are called motifs, but how many myths share three well known motifs?

In the Cosmological Argument, philosophers argued that the world’s foundation is based on the implicit relationship we have with the world and one another. Their arguments can be epitomized below: (a) Every being (that exists or ever did exist) is either a dependent being or a self-existent being. (b) Not every being can be a dependent being.
