I thought you believed that truth was relative?
The Bible has been confirmed by Stephen Hawking. God created the universe out of nothing.

The universe cannot be made from nothing, because nothingness cannot exist.
Do you believe that the universe is 13.5 billion years old?

Not necessarily. Maybe you're wrong. Besides your statement that:

Is an absolute statement. But in another post you stated:

If Relativity is how the universe works then what is true for you is not necessarily true for me.
You cannot have it both ways. You cannot say that something is relative in one breath and then say it is absolute in another breath because that would truly be insane.
Besides, the mind can be just as relative as the universe in terms of perception or how it works just like the universe.

No it is not. Again you are getting confused by the illusion of absolutes caused by the limitations of our mind.

That is not how Relativity works. There is a relationship between how I see an event and how you see an event. An example would be both of us standing next to each other and looking at a rainbow. If we both tried to pinpoint were the “pot of gold” is, from were we are standing, we would not agree. The way a rainbow is placed in the sky is dependant on the angle of light as it hits the eye of the observer. We both see a rainbow, but they are not the same.

First off I never said anything was absolute. You are simply confused by the illusion of absolutes caused by the limitations of our mind.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

actually, you have it reversed, the universe is not relative, however we are only able to perceive it through relative mechanisms.
