The 14 billion years is pure speculation and it goes up and down according to whom you are speaking to.
What contradictions? Before you waste your time I have a degree in theology and read the bible in its original language.
I do not want to go too far off the "evilution" topic. You might enjoy reading;Oh it wasn't written in modern Greek and Hebrew? Oops.....

Evolution has yet to be proven by evidence.
Did God not Create this physical world? We know that He did.
Were you and I there when He did so? No, at least I wasn't, I wasn't even born yet.
Can you find or give evidence that God did not Creat the physical realm with full apparent age, so that if you examine the physical realm "it has natural age", just like if we went to Eve the day after she was Created, and asked her how old she is, she would say "one day old" but by physically examining her we could see in the natural she appears 18 or ? years old by appearance.
Is this possible?
If it is proven, then prove it. . . . .

I'm pretty sure that evolution accepting Christians outnumber atheists of all sorts in the USA.I was a non-believer for a time, a Christian most of my life, and now thinking again of returning to it. I'm a believer again, at the very least. That said, why is it necessary to disprove evolution if you're a Christian?
I'm pretty sure that evolution accepting Christians outnumber atheists of all sorts in the USA.So it always seems weird for some Christians to constantly try to argue against science by making a philosophical battle with a straw man of atheism.

It may not have had a direct influence on cranial capacity (though it wouldn't have hurt), but it does suggest that powerful jaw muscles were no longer a significant selective advantage, indicating that the effective calorific value of the diet had increased. This would imply a calorific surplus that could support advantageous but resource intensive applications, such as increasing behavioural flexibility, complexity, & problem solving capability by brain enhancements (the modern brain consumes roughly 20% of the total calories used). So it seems consistent with the other evidence....I'm going to continue digging to see if there's more out there more recent than 2004/5, but for now will cease using MYH16 as an argument.
Yes, that is right. I have been told the age of the earth as being anything from 200 million to 14 billion years old and everything in between by atheists but of course atheists as is usual are in denial and try to cover up the implausibility of what they claim by stating that one atheist does not speak for another so I guess as an atheist you believe whatever you want to believe and that is truth because I say so and if another atheist comes along and says something different then that is the truth because he says so and if another atheist comes along and says.....The shifting sands of atheism is there for all to see, but why worry. The truth is not high on their agenda as they trade on myths and fairy stories so anything goes as long as they don't have to prove what they say is the truth.
Their security seems to be to say anything that massages a damaged ego in the hope that no one will discover the fallacy of their dreams, obfuscation and complete and utter bunkum. (Forgive me if that language is a bit strong).
Makes the idea of a "creator" that much more silly, doesn't it?//snip//
Observation proves that mankind needs an external force to oversee mankind in order for mankind to survive. Evolutionary theory leads to extinction in 99% of species, in man's case that figure should be 100%. Man was never designed to survive in the natural world by any standard of natural fitness, mankind is rather, a greatly handicapped and special species. Man had been gifted with everything in order to survive as a species, before the race to survive actually began.
My use of the word theology is correct as I have a degree in theology.Your use of the word "theology" is incorrect (not to mention obviously trolling).
Science and theology is very different, science deal with physical reality, theology deals with metaphysics.

If you listen to evolutionists Hitchslap, they will make a monkey out of you.Makes the idea of a "creator" that much more silly, doesn't it?
Because the scientific consensus is 4.5/4.6 billion years, not 200 million. And that's been the case for several decades now. So wherever you pulled the 200 million from (your hat?), it wasn't a scientific source. No, it is simply deducible based on the stuff you write down. For example, suppose I told you that "my source" tells me that Jesus met the pink undetectable 7-headed leprechaun that lives in my garage... You would be able to deduce that whatever my source was, it won't be the bible, correct? For the reason that you know perfectly well that the bible doesn't mention any undetectable 7-headed leprechaun(pink or otherwise). That's the same logic that is being applied here. Whatever your source was for "200 million" - it wasn't a scientific source. Because we know that the scientific source will state it is 4.5 billion instead. Yep. And the fact is that scientific sources will say it is 4.5 billion, not 200 million. And that is how we know that whatever your source was - it wasn't a scientific source. Just like you would know that whatever MY source was for the 7-headed leprechaun - it wasn't the bible (no matter if I claim it is). Nope, as I have just demonstrated to you. You don't require "supposition, guesswork, gambling, blind faith and foolishness" to deduce that my source for the 7-headed leprechaun is not the bible - regardless of my claims, right?
