This whole thread should disprove evolution. It has been going on for a llllllooooonnnnnggggg time, yet nothing has changed.

No, it is interpreting what was told to us that is causing all these problems. It simply wasn't clear enough for some, and too clear for others.Originally posted by just-want-peace:
You're right, God told us what happened, so the obvious choice is either to believe man or God.
(EMPHASIS MINE)But, either side could be right, with most of the scientific evidence on the side of evolution. But on the other side, scientific evidence means nothing when miracles are part of the equation. And while the miracle side would seem to involve deception on God's part (fossils etc) there could be some other reason for it, thus it not deception, rather our interpretation of deception because of lack of further understanding at this time.
(There are others, but just taking the creation story as a stand-alone)Gen 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31; 2:2, 3
Not at all. All the miracles in the Bible are problems when we try to align them with the predictable and standard paradigms of physics and modern physics. This has been a perpetual problem for His people.Surely this is a huge problem for YEC ?
The genealogies of Genesis give a pretty good record of the age of the earth. Adam being created on day 6 lived to be 930 years old. (Genesis 5:5)Originally posted by just-want-peace:
Now since science cannot prove, PROVE, PROVE, the billion year theory, and YEC'ers cannot prove, PROVE, PROVE a 6-10K theory, then why not just trust God in what HE says.
Very well put!!How could anyone stand before a congregation and say, "Although the Bible says this, we know from science that God lied to us."?
I do not doubt the intelligence of these many who have posted on this thread, but, for some, I do question their understanding of exactly who God is and who God is not.
Well, science has also gone from seeing the smallest "thing" as being a cell, to a nucleus, to chromosomes, to atoms, to particles, to quarks, and so on. Science understanding things better doesn't bother me so much.Originally posted by gb93433:
Since the time I was a child the length of time by the evolutionists has gone from thousands and thousands of years to billions of years. Amazing how they keep adding years to try and make things work. Doesn't that seem like relative science rather than absolute science?
I suspect it was already millions and millions of years when you were a kid - unless you are very very old! In the past 10 years they've backed down from saying the universe is 15 to 20 billion years old and are now pushing for an age of the universe at about 13 billion years. Maybe that's a sign they're finally zeroing in on the real age.Originally posted by gb93433:
