"Embedded Age" Requires Fake Fossils

[dad]

Actualy, scripture written more than a generation after his death by people who where not even alive when he was. In other words, "hand-me-down-stories", nothing contemporary.

The record was there before being put in a book. Also, Jesus promised He would guarantee they remembered right. You are questioning God.

What history has validated a recent global flood? Where is the evidence?

Where is the evidence for a young earth?

The kingdoms that came and went like obedient lapdog validate scripture. The flood was like pretty mountain building and Continental drift, and ice age, so where do you expect flood vidence?

I just stated a fact dad, nothing more.

You are questioning God.

No. I am questioning man.

No. I am questioning man.

The fact is that Jesus promised to bring it all to their memory by His Spirit.


Jesus honored and fulfilled Scripture. You insult it, and believers of all ages.

Indeed -- however, the creation of the world as described in Genesis 1-3 is not one such event.

I believe that God probably created life on earth in seven literal days, but not the entire universe. Our universe is probably much older than 15 billion years old. I doubt that science will ever be able to compute the age of the universe, and by entire universe I mean what we can observe and what lays behind what we see with our telescopes.

 

[Nic Samojluk]

So you claim that God did not create the heavens and the earth as per Genesis? Because He made the stars and sun in creation week, as well as earth.

I believe that every creative act found in Genesis 1 was preceded by the “Let there be …” command. There is no such command in verse one.

Funny how science is a lot better than science fiction when it suits your purpose.

I choose among the alternative options the one that makes to me in light of the evidence I have observed in the past. I can’t do otherwise and still be honest with myself. I hope you do the same!

The fact that we do not fully understand what goes on inside a singularity is not evidence against that science.

There are two kinds of laws: natural and supernatural. Methinks that singularities belong in the second group. Science men refuse to even consider anything dealing with the supernatural; therefore, they will never be able to explain how singularities behave.

Well, when we dig up a fossil, its pretty clear there was once an animal that had those bones. Fantastic as such an animal would have been, in many cases, they did really exist. And when we examine a piece of volcanic rock, we can pretty much pin down how long ago it was (to the nearest hundred thousand years or so) that it cooled off and became solid.

Yes, provided we can rule out the possibility of contamination. There are mysteries science is still trying to elucidate. Take for example the case of red cells found in dinosaur’s bones:

“Dinosaur bones from the Cretaceous period were being tested by materials scientist Sergio Bertazzo and his colleague paleontologist Susannah Maidment; the bones are approximately 75 million years old.

Bertazzo and Maidment spotted red blood cells and collagen strands or structural proteins in the specimens after using image enhancement and a mass spectrometer. It left them surprised and speculating whether more existing fossils consist of red blood cells. …”

I suspect that the first creative act of God was marked when God said: “Let there be light.” The reference to the stars is probably an interpolation or an afterthought. I do not believe that the billions of stars were created during the creation week described in Genesis.

Genesis one was written to counteract the prevalent polytheism in Moses’ time.

I doubt that science will ever be able to compute the age of the universe, and by entire universe I mean what we can observe and what lays behind what we see with our telescopes.

Your opinion is noted -- unfortunately, it doesn't match up with what we have been able to observe.

I thought the past was unreliable?

 

[Nic Samojluk]

With respect specifically to the earth's atmosphere, climate and environment, how far back in the distant past do you think we can go.

For me the distant past applies to the life of stars and galaxies—not our atmosphere.

Stories in books are not validation of anything.

You have destroyed all historical facts with a single sentence. History is now a collection of fictional characters.

You have now obliterated the value of research. Read the testimony of Luke, who performed this kind of research before writing his epistle. Read Paul’s account and his reference to numerous witnesses who were still alive when he wrote.

New Living Translation
Many people have set out to write accounts about the events that have been fulfilled among us. just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, [Luke 1: 1-3]

New International Version
He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen--by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. [Acts 10:41]

New International Version
You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. [Acts 3:15]

New International Version
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him." [Acts 5:32]

Where is the evidence for a young earth?

The earth is old, but life on earth is probably rather young measured in thousands instead of millions of years.

The earth is old, but life on earth is probably rather young measured in thousands instead of millions of years.

What evidence do you have that dinosaurs are only thousands of years old? Can you put a definite number on your thousands?

There are two kinds of laws: natural and supernatural. Methinks that singularities belong in the second group. Science men refuse to even consider anything dealing with the supernatural; therefore, they will never be able to explain how singularities behave.

There is no reason to believe that. What evidence do you have to support that belief? You may as well believe in an crazy unsupported idea. Mentally it is a dead end to do so. "God did it" has never been shown to be the answer. Science has advanced when scientists assumed that problems could be answered.

 

[Subduction Zone]

The earth is old, but life on earth is probably rather young measured in thousands instead of millions of years.

Why on Earth would you believe that life is young? You are aware that there are numerous ways to date life and it is far from young., don't you? There is no scientific evidence that supports young life.

I believe that every creative act found in Genesis 1 was preceded by the “Let there be …” command. There is no such command in verse one.

So was there this phrase for creating man?

Also I notice that in verse one it talked of creating the waters. In verse six we see those same waters being affected and your phrase also. There is no way to disconnect creation as you suggest.
