Then we can only speculate that the key would be made out of bone or stone in the shape of a club with a loop to attach to his caveman belt.
I assume this was in jest.
If not, let's try it this way:
So if you dig in your backyard and find a trilobite fossil, then dig down further and find a penny dated 1975, what would that tell you?
I found mine in an exposed cliff face.I researched it and found out that trilobites are found deep in rock layers -- not on the surface as I thought.

What say I?On the third day of the creation week, Earth consisted of one giant ball of seawater.
Let's call it Terra Aqua, for lack of a better term.

Then God commanded the atoms to get together and form land.
Then He commanded the waters to stand aside and let the land come to the surface.

Here's my question:
Are we expected to believe that that land consisted of millions and millions of years' worth of layers of fossils?
Including fossils of plants, which said plants weren't even created until later in the day?
I contend that God created only ONE LAYER, and calls that layer "Earth."
Not Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic, or any other kind of "zoic".
"Earth"
What say you?
I say that you are starting by assuming the very thing that you wish to prove, that the Biblical account is correct. You first need to support that claim. And no, the Bible doesn't count as support. The claim can not support itself, after all.
More accurately, wonder why some Bible believers (a minority of Christians actually) won't buy into academia's teaching.Then you'll go through life wondering why Bible believers won't buy into academia's teaching about land consisting of millions and millions of years' worth of layers of fossils, won't you?

As long as people don't get the impression that your rather unique views on creation and science are shared by all, or even most Christians.Well I attempted to alleviate that wonder, but academians are trained to reduce everything down to formulas and equations, then wonder at everything and trust nothing.
But I tried.

Doesn't work. I know plenty of people in our church who are just fine with evolution and an ancient earth-universe, and never went to college.You show me a person who thinks my views on creation are unique and not worth embracing, and I'll show you a Straight-A student in college.

Evolution? No.They take it on faith, do they?
Sounds a lot like my old church. Never was there a sermon on those topic either.Doesn't work. I know plenty of people in our church who are just fine with evolution and an ancient earth-universe, and never went to college.
I think we had a few sermons about science and scripture (in a general sense) about a dozen years ago, but we haven't had one since. From the conversations I've had with people it doesn't seem like it's ever been an issue for most of them.Sounds a lot like my old church. Never was there a sermon on those topic either.
Evolution? No.
