And how do we have so much diversity of life on Earth, if 90% of all life went extinct without evolution? In other words, if 90% of the Earth's "kinds" went extinct, how did we get them back?
Carbon 14 isn't used to date the Earth. It only can date up to 50,000 years. There are numerous other forms of radiometric dating that are used to date the Earth. Meteorites that have hit the Earth are what are dated to 4.5 billion years old. You might have a point about 1 method of dating the Earth being error prone, if that's all that was used. But there is countless evidence attesting to the old age of the Earth. To claim that every field of science is wrong is absurd.
And you have a bigger problem to deal with when it comes to the age of the universe. We can observe stars 13 billion light years away.
Both Scriptures and Science teaches us that the air was different. Scriptures teach that people lived to be close to 1000 years old, we do not do that now, we would be blessed to live to be 100 years old, something was definately different then compared to now. Science teaches us that prior to 4000 years ago, grasshopper fossils were two feet long, Cat tails were 40 feet high, animals ( not all ) grew much longer, plants ( not all, grew much bigger ) Scientist also know that there was more oxygen in the air prior to 4000 years ago.
So Scripturally and Scientifically, the air was different then, than it is now.
Dave:
The implication of your theology, where God has created physical evidence that contradicts His word, is that God is trying to "trick" us. Since we are still finding new stars, as their light travels millions or billions of light-years into our perspective, God is obviously still actively working to keep up the falsehood.
Is this really what you think?
WHY and HOW would a different atmospheric makeup cause these inflated numbers? Be specific.
And do you know what that evidence was, Dave?Are you then saying all the methods are correct, and can't be wrong? remember not to long ago, the World was flat, and you were mocked if you said differently, And Lo, they had their evidence that it was flat.
When a person goes to the hospital with breathing difficulties, what is the first thing they do? They give them a mask so they breath pure oxygen. If then the all the air we breath was pure oxygen, we would be healthier, therefore would live longer.
Because Romans 1:20 tells us that God's creation can be trusted to tell us about His invisible qualities. And if God created the world with false history, then the only quality I can garner from that is 'misleading'!My point is, if God can create a full grown Tree, by His mere Words, to which you agree that He can, Why is it such a hard thing to believe that God created the Earth, EXACTLY, as His Words said He did, why the doubts?
Your self-righteous, condescending attitude and doomsday threats towards your fellow sibblings in Christ.i believe Matthew 7:1 to the fullest, what have i said that makes you believe that i do not ????
And do you know what that evidence was, Dave?
THE HOLY BIBLE.
Cursed is he who does not believe what the Bible clearly says!
There are so many problems with this statement. One is that what is the cure for one malady is not the solution to all problems. Do you go around just taking penicillin because they give it to some people who go to the hospital with difficulties?
Oxygen is a very toxic compound. A higher oxygen concentration, instead of causing people to be healthier, would cause numerous problems.
They give them a mask so they breath pure oxygen.

So, you are saying that God is actively and intentionally trying to deceive us. He's making us make a choice - "choose between my words or what you see with your own eyes".i believe what His Words teach, if then His Words teach He created the Earth in 6 days, this is what i believe, and through Faith i believe it, Who am i, or who are you to question Him? So then you question as to WHY, He would do such a thing, What is that to Him, if you question Why He does what He does, it is enough to merely believe He did what He said He did, then to question the reason to WHY HE DID IT. Leave it to this generation of the last Days to question Him, and His reasonings behind such things.
i believe God created the Earth in 6 days, Do you know why i believe this, because it is what His Words said He did. i do not question Him, nor His judgements, i leave that to this generation of the people of the last days.
What does it matter WHY He created the EArth the way He did, it is enough to merely believe that He did, then to question the almighty God and what He says.
IN His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ

If those who are having breathing maladies are simply put on oxygen, and you are not inferring any difference in concentration, then what relevance does it have to my question? You were the one who first brought it up. Why would a higher oxygen concentration cause people to live longer?
