Your reflections are not absolutely true because we feel the presence of God in every creation

What you are saying does not agree with then main stream beliefs , or at least what I have seen as the main stream. Hopefully this is a sign of progress.
I would like to see The Passion of Christ, it sounds like a really well made movie, even though I do not believe in Christ. Don't know if I will see it in the theater or just rent it later this year when it ends up on video. (Don't care for that trend of getting the movie to video the same year it is in the theaters, but all big movies do that now.) I do not think it will change me though, so don't hold your breath. Das Boot has been about the most powerful movie I have seen and I still think the Germans were wrong during WW2.

Are you going to see The Passion of Christ on the 25th?

Actually the bible teaches that the earth was renovated
7000 years ago, not created. Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens in the earth. v 1:2 And the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep. ( implying a catastrophe) As you probably know, there is a unaccounted for time gap in betwen these verses. Probably billions of years. The earth was destroyed by a 1st flood wiping out a pre-adamic race because of the rebellion of Lucifer, Ezekiel 28:14-17. Excatly when this was we dont know but it was long before the Garden of eden. I do not believe the bible claims the universe is only a few thousand years old.

The full line from Duet 32 : 13
'He made him ride on the high places of the earth.
He ate the increase of the field.
He caused him to suck honey out of the rock,
oil out of the flinty rock;'
There is no logic to this line having to do with the oil we use as fuel today. In fact most likely the oil mentioned here would have been a form useful to those at that time. Otherwise it would make no sense to have been mentioned here. They would have been concerned with resources they needed then and there, not something which would take over a thousand years to find a use for.
Besides, that still does not explain when God made the oil. We know it takes millions of years, yet many people claim that according to the Bible the Earth has not been around that long.
And I know that there are some passages in the Bible which people have decided are talking about Dinosaurs, although that is not the original translation (Yes, I know there was no word for Dinosaurs when it was written). But once more that does not explain how their remains have aged so. There is just too much proof that the Earth has been around a lot longer than the Bible claims.

No, God in His foreknowledge gave us a prophecy of
a rich natural resource that would occur because of the destruction of the earth that
mans sin brought about, not God. God always wills to take our blunders and turn them into a blessing. But that does not mean it was His will for us to blunder in the first place. By the way, the Bible speaks of dinosaurs in the book of Job, go research that one to if you want.

So God wanted us to destroy the Earth by drilling for oil?
Not really sure if that is what they are talking about in that line myself. I'll have to hunt it down and see what the full story is.

I have already make that point way back when. Go back through this blog to see what I had to say and what the replys were. They are a lot out there who do take it 100% literal.

One must correctly understand the meaning of the "one day" as it was spoken of in Genesis... it was never meant to be taken in a literal sense. Therefore, there would have been ample time and opportunity for large lizard beasts like dinosaurs.

On the other hand
God gives us clues on how to be rich as in the verse in Duet 32 : 13 " He caused us to draw oil from the flinty rock" thus giving us ( who have the right attitude in reading the Bible) a clue to one of the wealthiest making reasources in the earth. So He can't be all bad. How could a mere man know of such a thing way back when?
