Why almost all coal was made during the same period

For me, science solidified my faith in God, especially when reading up on astronomy as a tweenager back in the early 2010s. The Catholic physicist, Georges Lemaître said that the universe has a finite age, and beginning. Fast forward to the 21st century, and we now know the universe has an age of 13.8B years. And God said "let there be light", and as astronomers have discovered, the Big Bang emitted electromagnetic radiation, detectible as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

Adam was created on the 6th day of creation. It has been about 6000 years, it is written in the Bible. Or should we trust evolution that cannot explain life?

At a quick assessment I'd say you could use yourself a bit more education, and less certainty about what you thimk you know.

Then by all means, Estrid, please highlight in red what Ivan said that was wrong.

Please tell us what day you think the Bible says Adam was created on.

Then get a simple calculator and concatenate the genealogies in Genesis 5, Genesis 10, and 1 Chronicles 1-9 and tell me how many years you think it is.

Why should 'evolution' explain life? Do you mean abiogenesis? Evolution is just something that happens. It does not explain anything. Do you mean ToE?

The age of the earth is the province of physics, geology, astronomy etc not changes in allele frequency.

The age of the earth is under the aspects of PLANETARY EVOLUTION, the fourth stage in the seven stages of cosmic evolution.

Abiogenesis falls into the next category: CHEMICAL EVOLUTION.

Here are the seven stages of cosmic evolution, according to Harvard University:

particulate, galactic, stellar, planetary, chemical, biological, and cultural

It's pretty silly for someone to try to argue when they've no idea what they are arguing against.

It sure is, isn't it?

Thanks for the QED.

Relevant to the topic here of "6000 year old earth" is one comment he made, being:

"God gave us brains, and He gave us the responsibility to use them."

If what you guys are saying is true about what these Jesuits are teaching you, then the Jesuits are going to stand before God (kneel, actually) and get judged for it.

Our uneducated friends might want to think long and hard about that responsibility.

You first, friend.

The secular world says that the big bang occurred 14 billion years ago. Everything was compacted into one spot.

You made the first mistake in the very first line. It went downhill after that.

And apparently it won't make you a believer in God.

I find it interesting that SCIENTISTS who believe in God can't convince unbelievers, who don't believe in God.

Evidently science can take a hike, you think?

Tangentially, I was reading something about the Carboniferous, and it was mentioning that oxygen levels peaked around perhaps 30-35% of the content of the atmosphere (compared to today's 21%). This addition of all this gas enabled things like 75 cm dragonflies to be able to fly, not just because of the increased availability of oxygen, but also the very density of the air.

It's sad- and shameful- the dim understanding and
total lack of appreciation our yecs have for the
wonderfully strange and complex world with which
they are gifted.

Why is God going to destroy it then?

So, what do you think about peat? Modern peat bogs formed around 12,000 years ago, or 10,000 BC, which is relatively recent compared to the age of the earth (4.54B years).

These peat bogs, they tend to be in post-glacial environments don't they, or at least the ones you are referring to. The last glaciation when it swept over places like northern North America or northern Europe ground away the soils, etc. at the top and when the glaciers retreated new soils, lakes, marshes, even streams. formed. The peat bogs are just part of that. It is completely unsurprising that the current peat bog date only back to the last time a glacier ground away what was on that land.

What are the driving forces behind evolution? Could there be evolution? Yes, as but only because there is a Creator who drives the forces of evolution.

It doesn't matter what I believe. It's what God said that matters

Differential reproductive success in response to environmental pressures.

What you choose to believe "god" said
AND what you choose to believe it means.

So what you believe is literally all that matters
To you. Such vanity!

And what you c oose to believe about earth age is nonsense. As any educated person has known since about the 17th century.

Vanity and lack of education don't lead to much truth.

 

[Astrid]

Differential reproductive success in response to environmental pressures.

Any educstrd person knows that.

The driving force behind evolution is replication with error and natural selection. A creator is not needed.

 

[Larniavc]

Any educstrd person knows that.

I agree. But a lot of people steadfastly refuse to accept what they (deep down) know to be true.
