Why were angels worried about the creation of humans?
Which verse says that they were worried? I don't know how to answer because i don't' know where you got that from.
What Kings are in the old testament?
There are many. Starting with Saul, David, and Solomon and going till Hezakiah, the kings ruled Israel for about 500 years. See the Books of I Samuel and II Samuel and I kings and II Kings, as well as I Chronicles and II Chronicles. There is also a geneoloy in the book of Mattew.
How long was Genesis creation day six?
Those who realise the difficulty in reading entirely literally the creation story in Genesis chapter 1, often resort to equivications that would make the story at least a little more consistent with known science. One of these equivications is to state that each 'day' in Genesis was not really a day, but an extremely long period of almost indeterminate length.
This is neither necessary, nor meaningful. The Hebrew word used here is one that refers to a natural, 24-hour day. It is also clear from Genesis itself that the author believed each day to be followed by a night, and that each day was more or less the same length as a natural day. In the Exodus version of the ten commandments, God commands that the seventh day be kept because he rested on that day: this clearly refers to a natural day. So it is with the sixth day: the author was speaking of a 24-hour day only.
How many manfesting states are there body mind and soul or body mind spirit and soul?
Let us be scientific
What is soul? The single entity which is beyond space and time is the soul. Beyond space and time does not mean that it is going beyond the space. And it is before the time starts. Beyond space actually means it is everywhere and beyond time means it is changeless. Time is nothing but change. This entity is energetic and having intelligence within. Creation comes out of this as this soul starts thinking. Thinking brings the mind in the scene. Now mind has come in. The thoughts are nothing but some vibrations which start extending out. 'Out' brings space and 'vibration' brings time. The entity now seems lost its changeless and omniscient state. It is only apparent. It has its own features of changeless state and omnipotence within. Here comes one good phenomenon that the very vibration wants to get damped and vanish the space and time so relatively formed. Just resembling Newton's third law that action gets a reaction and the mind gets more concentrated and intensity of the field gets built up. If the intensity attains a certain level that is located as spirit. Then this spirit state gets modified into material form and sub elementary particles come out and other elementary particles, thereby atoms and then birth of star and evolution goes on and life starts in water and again evolution continues till we get this highly evolved human nervous system. So body comes finally.
The above said is just a gist These states can be proved scientifically using the very reliable tool, that is, mathematics. Science wants to bring out the happenings with 'how' and 'why'. Art is doing the practise necessary to unfold the secrets of the whole creation. Of course our ancestors have already done these practices in different places and at different times and enjoyed the underlying truth. Now let us make a reasonable attempt to come out with reliable answers with all scientific evidences.
Let us join together.
When was the beginning of man?
according to the Bible, he generations of man from Adam to Jesus go back 4100 years, and according to numerology Adam-of-Eden adds up to 41, Eve adds up to 14 or 41, and man-and-woman adds up to 41, and scientists have estimated the start of Eden as 10/23/4000, but 4100 BC is a good estimate, when you consider all of the dates and ages of man and each of Adams sons as listed and handed down from generation to generation, and considering the fact for the first 400 years no one could write any symbols yet, so give or take a hundred years, let's say 4100 bc, and then we have another 4100 years in AD to balance out the vibrations of man on earth
How far should you go in promoting and defending life?
Since this question is asked in a Religion and Spirituality category, I will assume that the question was likely to have been about one or both of euthenasia and abortion. Euthenasia and abortion are both sensitive issues on which many people hold strong positions both for and against, although support for one does not necessarily imply support for the other; similarly opposition to one does not necessarily imply opposition to the other.
In most countries, the law provides some level of support for those wishing to obtain an abortion in various circumstances. It does not support any form of violence or intimidation to discourage or prevent an abortion. And surely the Bible tells us enough about the sins that been committed by others in attempting to discourage or prevent an abortion, not to go down that path. There is a remedy if you disagree with abortion, and that is to seek peacefully the proper use of existing laws or the proclamation of new laws for or against abortion. By remaining wholly within the spirit and meaning of the law and of biblical teachings, you will not have stained your own soul.
In most countries, the law provides little support for those wishing to die rather than suffer intolerable and incurable pain until an inevitable death. But it is up to the civil authorities whether to take any action to prevent that person killing himself or herself, assisted or otherwise. Th role of the individual is limited to passing any information on to the authorities and to advocating the liberalisation or tightening of what laws do exist.
In moral and ethical issues, it is perfectly permissible in most circumstances for an individual to seek amendments to a law that actually affects the lives of others, as the democratic process will hopefully establish and support the will of the majority. What is not acceptable is to seek merely to impose one's own views on others, without the benefit of that democratic process. Doing so simply leads us down the path already travelled by al Qaeda and others. It is not possible to say, "I only want to go down that path just a little way," or "I only want to follow them on issues I personally agree with." You either follow al Qaeda or you don't.
In what order was the world made scientifically?
Some of the earlier stars reached the end of their lives and died, some simply cooling down, and some more spectactularly. A supernova star exploded in our neighbourhood in our galaxy, and a little of that material was captured in orbit around the sun, eventually to form the planets and moons. The earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago.
After the earth cooled enough to allow lif to exist, the earliest simple life forms began to evolve in the oceans. The Theory of Evolution tells us how these early life forms, over an immense period of more than a billion years, evolved into higher life forms. Some organisms evolved into plant life, while others evolved into primitive animal forms. Some proimitive organisms still exist that have features of both plant and animal forms.
Eventually, certain fishes began to exist out of water, for short periods, developing skeletons that coudl support their weight. Their boyancy bladders became adapted as lungs so that they could breathe air. Plants and animals continued to evolve side by side, with neither process occurring before the other.
Humans are one of the most recent, but not necessarily THE most recent species to evolve naturally. We have begun to mimic nature by using artificial selection to improve species and even create new ones. For example, the now-extinct oryx was captured and bred, eventually resulting in our oxen, or cattle.
What we see in this is that there is a logical sequence, one which differs somewhat from the biblical stories, but the creation processes were not entirely sequential, with one creation stage completed before another began. Even now, new stars are being formed, and no doubt life is just now emerging on young planets somewhere in the universe.
Why did god created male first?
God wanted to share the wonders and happiness of being alive with someone other than himself, so he created Adam, then he wanted someone to keep Adam company, so he created Eve out of a part of Adam.
Hope this helps!!! :)
How are science and God the same in the creation of the world?
Principles of Creationism often hold that God is the root of science, and that, accordingly, everything scientific is derived from principles created by and relating to God. According to most Creationist doctrines, the world was created by God, and thus, the world's scientific principles were also created by God. Creation Science is a field that tries to practice science incorporated with a specific religious system (typically Judeo-Christian), which believes that the world's Creation took place by a miraculous act of God that is, from their perspective on the world, scientific in that God is the root of science.
What happened on the sixth day of creation?
On the sixth day of creation, according to the Bible, God created land animals, including livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals. He also created humans, male and female, in his image, giving them dominion over the earth and all living creatures.
Does the Bible creation story support the first cause argument?
The 'First Cause Argument' is based on the biblical creation story, so it would be false logic and a circular argument then to use the creation story to support the First Cause Argument.

How is evolution possible and not creation?
Within the reasoning capabilities of mankind and the all to often jump to conclusions without physical support (think missing links here), the theory of evolution being taught today in nearly all schools, is a biological explanation of how creatures have supposedly "evolved" or developed progressively through natural selection and variation (now known as mutation) over eons of time from the tiny cell to the largest creatures on Earth today. What is taught in classrooms is not mere micro evolution which the Bible supports - small changes within a species over time per the environment - but macro evolution, which is the change from one type of creature (say a lizard) to another quite distinct life form (let's say we humans).
Besides the fact that there isn't any hard and viable proof for these intermediary or transitional forms of development occurring in the fossil record, we only need to read most any evolutionary explanation to see that it is full of assumptions. Further, evolution goes against long-standing scientific laws - biogenesis in biology for example states that life can only come from life - think which came first the chicken or the egg. There is the other problem of 'symbioses' which is one specie needing another totally different specie to live. Think flowers and bees here. How does one live without the other - especially before man? Lastly, consider how all things are perfectly design or engineered in our world. A simple tree according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture states that it provides the cooling affect of a 10 room air conditioner running for 20 hours a day. Now ask yourself if something so well developed happened by mere chance - the random and undirected evolutionary process.
The above has just described how to disprove the 'molecules to man theory' called Evolution with the acronym 'FALSE'above. Some of the above also disproves today's modern compromise of Theistic evolution which is simply the man-made notion that God used macroevolution over eons of time in forming the creatures we see on earth today.
How does sin figure into the biblical creation story?
What day did god create woman?
Tradition states that God created the first woman on the sixth day of Creation (Genesis ch.1 and 2). See also:
Is there evidence against Evolution
God's wisdom seen in His creations
What was God's reaction to his creation?
God looked down from his heavenly throne and saw "everything he had made and, look! it was very good." (Genesis 1:26-31)
What makes a person truly a human?
1) Our God-given soul 2) Our God-given free-will
3) Our vast range of emotions, far beyond those of animals
4) Certain abilities that animals do not possess, such as abstract thinking
What is important about the order of creation in Genesis?
The order of creation in Genesis 1:1-2:4a is important to scholars because it provides further evidence that this account is not really true. This account holds that light was created before the sun, moon and stars; that grass grew before the sun existed; and so on. We now know that light comes from the sun - without it, the Earth would be so cold that even the air would freeze, and in total darkness. And without the sun, grass could not grow.
The order of creation in Genesis 1:1-2:4a is so different to that in the second creation account, beginning in Genesis 2:4b, that they must be entirely separate myths. In the first account, man (both male and female) was created at the end of creation, after creation of the animals. In the second account, man (Adam) was created before creation of the animals, while Eve was not created until afterwards.

What are the five times of the day called when Muslims need to pray?
that is called namaaz -
Fajar (Morning prayer, before the sun rises)
Zuhur - (Mid-day, Sun is at its peak)
Asar - (Before Sun-set)
Maghrib - (Just after Sun-set)
Isha - (In the darkness of the night)
Why did God create man before creating a woman?
God made man because he wanted people of greater intellect than the angels to acknowledge god's power and to know right from wrong. The main purpose of man was to pray. Then he made women because they were the equal companions of man. So that a man would not have been lonely.
How does earth's mass relate to Creationism or Uniformitarianism?
Charles Darwin was greatly influenced by Charles Lyell's book on uniformitarianism, while sailing on the HMS Beagle. His conclusions in the Santa Cruz River Valley of Argentina were that it had been sculptured over long ages in time. This was based upon the lack of a world wide flood, and that existing forces having operated uniformly the beginning of the Earth's existence until today. Since then, it has been discovered that Darwin had made numerous errors in interpreting the structure of the river valley.
When Darwin arrived on Galapagos Island, his penchant to incorporate tenets of uniformitarianism, urged him to see the wild life there taking billions of years to "evolve." However the finches, iguanas and other wild life continue to interbreed within their kinds, producing minor differences, but the same type of animal.
Whether it is earth's mass or animal life, the theory of uniformitarianism is constantly being challenged and now being questioned by evolutionary scientists, because of the evidence being discovered today. Uniformitarianism is a theory that is in opposition to Creationism.
Regarding the Earth's mass, Creationism relies upon the Scriptures, relating that God created the Heaven and the Earth: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth...And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." Genesis1:1 & 31. As Creationists consider the nature of the Earth's mass, it demonstrates that it is just right for it's gravity, yielding the proper amount and density of atmosphere to sustain life, and giving the livable pull upon objects and life forms for reasonable activity. The weather systems upon the earth, dependent upon the sun's rays, the gravitational pull of the moon, and the tilt of the Earth, also interact with its gravitational force, giving seasons and moisture for sustaining life.
Massive upheavals on the Earth's mass, during and after the Genesis Flood, have changed the environment closer to that which we experience today. Venus has also undergone changes in its surface and structure, and although it has similar mass to Earth, its hot acid atmosphere, which rains lead is totally uninhabitable. While Saturn is much more massive (95 times) than Earth, its density is so thin that it would float on water. Yet its gravity is almost equal to Earth at sea level. Its rings, however, are spreading, indicating that it is relatively young, not fitting into the patten that uniformitarianism demands, being contrary sound scientific discovery.
There is nothing scientifically inconsistent with the Scripture's statement of God creating the Earth, but the stipulation of existing forces having operated uniformly the beginning, do not match up with many other scientific discoveries, which have taken place in recent times. Venus and Saturn are examples in contrast, that depict Earth as a life sustaining planet, even though it has undergone some changes from the beginning.
Earth's mass and size are coefficients in keeping it at proper distance from the sun, to sustain life as we know it. The mass, location and tilt of axis make earth a fine environment for habitation. It also travels at the optimum speed to continue in it's current orbit and distance from the sun, without which life would not be possible. Creationists believe that God made it that way, which fits into scientific norms.
Uniformitarisnism: the same laws of gravity that made Earth accumulate 4.5 billion years ago mean that it is still intact today; if the laws had changed at some point in the past then much of the earth would either have floated into space or would be much more densely compacted (neither of which is the case).
Creationism: Earth contains such a large amount of mass, that Creationists believe it could not have been formed by anything other than divine power, that it could not have naturally formed and must therefore have been created by a deity of some kind.

What is the meaning of reverence to creation?
We give reverence to God as the father of all creation. It was He who drew up the plan to all that is in existance and causd it to be. Because of this we revere His name.
I swear I've answered this question already...
It is hard to say that creationists are right when they can not even agree on what they believe. Just two groupings of creationists shows the problem.
"Young Earth Creationists" believe that the Bible must be read just as they interpret. Some Young Earth Creationists believe that this means the Earth is literally around 6,000 years old. Others are willing to stretch the meaning of 'day' and concede that the Earth may be much older, but still younger than the scientific evidence shows.
"Old Earth Creationists" accept the scientific evidence for the great age of the Earth, but believe that (i) God created life just as we now see it; or (ii) that evolution occurred, guided by God.
