How old is the earth?

Creationists don't comprehend large numbers. Saying "a year or two" will be interpreted literally when it's obvious it shouldn't.

Seeing a pattern?

The world has to be made small and simple so that the small and simple mind can be easily wrapped around it.

No, the bible is simply more specific than scientists because the bible comes from [SIZE="5"]facts[/SIZE] and the stories of scientists come from their imaginations which is why they keep changing.

What facts are these?

You know what they are because you've heard them and read them in the bible. You just close your eyes to them, retreat into your imagination to form new "facts." :rollinglaugh: Sorry but stories that come from the imagination are imaginary, period.

So you take the literal meaning of the Bible as fact?

That's ok, you have one piece of evidence. What is your coroberating evidence? The physical evidence, the researched which backs up the claims. I would also like to see this evidence.

Of course it's fact. That's why no one can prove it wrong without lying, contradicting himself or making up his own stories from his imagination.

So how do you know its correct? Remember, things are not proven incorrect, they are proven correct.

The easiest way to do this is show the deity that you claim.

Your text gives six days for creation and approximately six thousand years for the existence of everything. How, given this information, are we able to see light which has travelled for millions of years?

The truth can only be found in reality, not in the imagination.

So look out the window to see that reality agrees with Genesis perfectly.

Again, all scientists know is what they deduce. There's no way to know the relativity of the speed of light without stationary objects by which to measure it. So who knows how fast or slow light travels in space since one can't measure space? But even scientists say that the speed of light is not constant.

So once again, putting your faith in fallible human mortals who change their minds all the time will only result in the common phrase by scientists; "We now know that what we once through was true is not true." And again, that's why today's science will be archaic to tomorrow's science and tomorrow's science will be archaic to future science. So the question again is; why trust anything scientists say?:what:

This is another scenario in which one has to indulge in fantasy. So here's one;

"Once upon a time, there was nothingness in the universe. But all was not as it seemed. :uhh: Unseen to the naked eye (though there were any eyes at that time, much less naked ones) tiny particles were interacting at a frantic pace until one day they erupted with a loud BANG.

It was gigantic! Particles flyin' all over everywhere, fireballs shootin' into space until one day, one of the fireballs landed just the perfect distance away from the earth for the earth to calm down.

The big bang was not preceded by a literal "bang". How exactly you think sound was possible without a medium shows you know nothing about science.



Fireballs?

:rollinglaugh:

Oh geez...I knew it was impossible to have an intelligent conversation with you.

So why is that, do you think? The answer is simple; most people can't think for themselves so they put blind faith in ancient religions.
