Why is the earth only 6 thousand years old?

[Bungle_Bear]

There is the archaeological evidence from Egypt to consider which contradicts Exodus.
An mass exodus from Egypt of two million individuals representing a large percentage if not all the population of Egypt at the time would have spelt the end of Egyptian civilization.
Yet the timeline for Exodus corresponds to the 18th dynasty of Egypt when it was at its height of prosperity and military power.

You need to stop letting facts and evidence get in the way of The Truth™

Yes -- precisely sloppy.You can read it in detail in the book of Numbers.It contains Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.

It contains no instructions for surviving in zero G, or in a vacuum.
So no. No instructions for leaving earth

 

[Mr Laurier]

I somehow don't think you -- or science -- are qualified to call anything in the Bible "obviously false."

And again, you think things in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

 

[Mr Laurier]

Those are fiction.

Yep.

 

[Mr Laurier]

Nope.

Reality is much more than meets the eye (or nose, or nerves, or ears, or tongue).Too bad, so sad -- as we're fond of saying.

Reality is that which can be observed.

It contains no instructions for surviving in zero G, or in a vacuum.

But It does contain instructions, should you not survive zero G.

 

[AV1611VET]

Reality is that which can be observed.

And so much more.

And so much more.

Ah, but this "so much more" is by definition unobservable (in principal, I don't mean stuff that we can't observe today but could observe in the future) because if it was observable, it would be included in the category that Mr Laurier provided. And so, you have no way of showing that it exists at all.

To combine both Mr Laurier's and my posts:

Nope.
It contains instructions for building a tent with a sacrificial altar inside.
And instructions for committing genocide.
And for how to beat slaves correctly. And who can be enslaved. And how to blackmail a short-term slave into becoming a permanent slave.
But nothing about zero G

 

[Mr Laurier]

And so much more.

Please do explain.

And you failed completely to address my point.

You have no way of showing that the unobservable stuff exists at all, do you?

 

[AV1611VET]

Nope.

That part of reality is unobservable.

 

[Kylie]

Nope.

That part of reality is unobservable.

So all you have is an assumption that it exists.

 

[AV1611VET]

So all you have is an assumption that it exists.

I know it exists.

"Assumption" is too weak of a word.

 

[Kylie]

"Assumption" is too weak of a word.

There's a big difference between "belief" and "knowledge."

 

[AV1611VET]

There's a big difference between "belief" and "knowledge."

Neat.

 

[Kylie]

Neat.

Well, if you're not going to back your position up with anything, then all you've got is a position asserted without evidence, and so I will reject it precisely because it has no evidence.

Suit yourself.

You want to live in a cave, go ahead.

But there is more to reality than meets the eye.
