New China find. What say young earthers?

What do I say? I say I have faith in God's Word. Either you do or you don't. God required us to have faith, unfortunately some people don't have enough faith to believe God's Word.

 

You are quite correct. The problem is not with the Bible but with people's interpretation of the Bible and being unwilling to allow God to teach them new things, in other words, to grow in widsom and knowledge and understanding.

I found the article fascinating. Did you notice the high glaze on the pottery in the photograph. That really amazed me. I have seen ancient pottery, but not with such glazing.

 

I am not sure.

There is no question the Chinese were advanced in many ways long before the Western world. The first written records are from the Shang dynasty and that began somewhere about 1750 B.C. I am not sure if these written records were on some type of silk or on bone. I do know there are very ancient writings on bones and/or shells in China. The oldest record I have found it what experts believe in writing on tortoise shells that are determined to be 8600 years old.

To fire such a high glaze would be very difficult without quite advanced techniques ... or so it seems to me.

 

I looked at the photograph carefully and you are right. The pieces are the original pottery. The white is modern, like a frame, to hold the pieces. Good call on your part.

 

I think what you meant to say was "I believe the bible says exactly what I think it means." I, on the other hand, believe the Bible says exactly what it says. So, no if you don't believe the Bible says what it says then you don't have faith. If you take what the Bible says and apply your "interpretation" to it so that you come to a conclusion that the earth is millions of years old, or even hundreds of thousands of years old, then you don't have the necessary faith to believe what the Bible says.

 

Yup. I certainly trust the bible more than I do BBC "science" editors & reporters.

 

I still believe what the Bible says, young earth. I always crack up when I hear these highly "educated" scientists talk about millions and millions of years old. God can do anything, including making layers of rocks to look old when He created the world. The accuracy of carbon dating is flawed.

That being said, I love it when old artifacts are found. When I was a kid, I wanted to grow up to be an archeologist.

 

And the four corners of the earth. The earth was believed to be flat in OT times.
