Believe me, I understand quite well --- it's you who make a mistake almost every time you post here.
Please feel free to QV the posts where I clearly made a mistake and I will gladly correct them.
Including a glaring one in your OP.
As I just stated, please show my glaring mistake that seemed to only be notices by you.
I thought that made me Omphalos?
It does. "Embedded age" and Omphalos are just attempts to explain away why all of the evidence is
against a young earth.
I've spent a large part of this thread correcting you --- and the rest repeating myself.
When have you corrected me? You have completely ignored the fossil question I posited to you. If rock was created at the time of creation to be 250 million years old, why are there fossils (or fossil impressions) in said 250 million year old rock?
Even others have attempted to correct you.
Please tell me how many people have tried to correct me. As I remember you and Juvinessun are the only two. And I also remember that both Juvinessun and dad have questioned your beloved "embedded age."
The bottom line is, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Yeah, you're right. What a waste of several years and $30,000 worth of student loans to get a higher education. I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. I only have a Bachelor's in Biology and spent my entire life in a Southern Baptist church and therefore have idea what I'm talking about.
And if you read Genesis 5, not only does it say A begat B, but it says how much time transpired between the time A was born and when B was born, and when B was born, and when A died. Leaving no room for generation gaps --- not to mention Jude corroborating Enoch as the "seventh from Adam".
Oops, you just strayed from Genesis 1!
Genesis 5
This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created. 3 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot
a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters. 5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.
6 Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh. 7 After he begot Enosh, Seth lived eight hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters. 8 So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.
9 Enosh lived ninety years, and begot Cainan.[
a] 10 After he begot Cainan, Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and had sons and daughters. 11 So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.
12 Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Mahalalel. 13 After he begot Mahalalel, Cainan lived eight hundred and forty years, and had sons and daughters. 14 So all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.
15 Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and begot Jared. 16 After he begot Jared, Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years, and had sons and daughters. 17 So all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.
18 Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and begot Enoch. 19 After he begot Enoch, Jared lived eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters. 20 So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.
21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. 22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And Enoch walked with God; and he
was not, for God took him.
25 Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech. 26 After he begot Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons and daughters. 27 So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.
28 Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and had a son. 29 And he called his name Noah, saying, “This
one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD has cursed.” 30 After he begot Noah, Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years, and had sons and daughters. 31 So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.
32 And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
1 Timothy 1:4
neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, the which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; so do I now.
And too bad no one has been able to figure out how long A&E were in the garden before God kicked them out. And the Bible still specifically does not say how old the earth is. It does say how old Judaism is though.
AV, I feel that I have given plenty of evidence against "embedded age."
1. The earth was created in 4004B.C. with 4.5 billion years of "embedded age."
2. Any rock dated and found to be older than 6,000 years was created older (250 million year old rock was created in 4004B.C. to be 250million years old).
3. There is no evidence of history older than 6,000 years.
4. There are fossils in 250 million year old rock.
Plus, no coal was created during the flood since the youngest coal (lignite) was formed around 50-70 million years ago. Obviously all coal that we've found has "embedded age" placed into it during Genesis 1.
Before I took off to concentrate on college I had a thread going in morals & ethics where people could pose arguments against creationism and I'd attempt to defend them. Arguing for the opposition is an effective way to explore and challenge your own ideas. I usually read opposition literature (I've read Michael Behe, but have never read Dawkins), but when I do read literature that I agree with, I'm very critical about it and question it as if it were opposition.
