If the evidence comes from God why do infidels feel they have a right to explain the evidence?
'cause we got equations:

Crocodiles and turtles require a very wet environment. We do manage to live together with them today though.

But those aren't dinosaurs, those are just reptiles.

The more you post, the less I understand what your religious position is.

They were alive at the time of the dinosaurs. There have been six (6) major extinctions where ONLY 10% (ten percent) survived to repopulate the earth. The most recent was 12,700 years ago when we lost saber tooth tigers and woolly mammoths. Even they still find mammoths with their lunch still in their tummy. If you consider a day in Genesis to be 1,000 years, everything works out just fine.

I believe ALL of the creation theories. YEC, GAP, Theistic Evolution, OEC, dispensationalism. They are all valid from their own perspective. Most people pick one and only believe one. They do not understand that they can all be true at the same time.

My son is very good at equations. He is a computer engineer. They are all the time throwing money at him. Right now he is working on modernizing the furnace in a steel plant. They have not modernized since WW2.

No, YEC runs counter to all of them, especially Old Earth Creationism.

You seem like you just want to have your cake and eat it too.

Not at all. YEC covers the last 6,000 years, and Old Earth Covers the last 12.7 billion years. What happened 12.7 billion years ago is a lot different than what happened 6,000 years ago. There is no conflict.

Except there is when YEC EXPLICITLY says that the universe and the world is only 6,000 years old. That is a conflict.

Not for me. 500 years ago when Bishop Ussher wrote his book they did not know what we know today.

Thus, having your cake and wanting to eat it too.

Young Earth Creationism and Old Earth Creationism are not compatible.

How did the angiosperms survive for 1000 years without the sun?

DAY THREE:

Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

DAY FOUR:

Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

But they aren't dinosaurs, and no modern species of reptile was alive at the same time as the dinosaurs.

The more science speaks on zoology and evolution, the more the Ark stands out as a doosey of a miracle.

They contradict each other.

Minds back then were purer, as they weren't clogged with junk science like today.

Cool.

But...

Engineering isn't science.

You know... I vaguely remember someone a few years back on here making the same sort of claim about their son. Could just be a coincidence.
