    Roger Penrose - "quantam mechanics is not even a theory, it is simply a collection of nice ideas"

    And you have the nerve to come on here and say we get brainwashed by our parents for religion yet you take that rubbish as gospel..

    Rostos - Penrose says that so that makes it true? I happen to trust Stephen Hawking.

    Offensive - I could believe in god, but I choose not to believe in magic. Personal decision, that's all.

    The Holy Bible does not give any age of the earth. It does relate that God took seven 'days' to create the cosmos (the heavens and the earth) but that same book also tells us that 'a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day', so there really is no timeline for the creation.

    Also your scientists that dated the earth to billions of years old used radioactive decay. A method that was once thought dead accurate,  they been moving the slider and are now up to a 10% margin of error.

    JERUSALEM -- An Israeli archaeologist said Monday that ancient fortifications recently excavated in Jerusalem date back 3,000 years to the time of King Solomon and support the biblical narrative about the era.

    If the age of the wall is correct, the finding would be an indication that Jerusalem was home to a strong central government that had the resources and manpower needed to build massive fortifications in the 10th century B.C.

    That's a key point of dispute among scholars, because it would match the Bible's account that the Hebrew kings David and Solomon ruled from Jerusalem around that time.


    A lot of archeological facts being found.

    On one hand kittykatz  says the universe could have sparked from nothing, he admits that is possible, but on the other hand he doesn't believe in magic. 

    Make up your mind kittykatz. 

    God Bless you anyway

    Isnt it funny, that it was thought that God or Christianity was introduced to control the masses, meaning, the masses were out of control before this introduction of Christianity. Now, they want to get rid of God or Christianity to control the masses...

    Which one is it Atheists....?

    Really offensive? You're trying to say the scientists were wrong when they figured out the earths age? How ignorant could you be?

    Answer

    Given the fact that, according to the Bible, Adam was created on the sixth day of our planet’s existence, we can determine a biblically-based, approximate age for the earth by looking at the chronological details of the human race.

    This assumes that the Genesis account is accurate, that the six days of creation were literal 24-hour periods, and that there were no ambiguous gaps in the chronology of Genesis.

    The genealogies listed in Genesis chapters 5 and 11 provide the age at which Adam and his descendants each fathered the next generation in a successive ancestral line from Adam to Abraham. 

    By determining where Abraham fits into history chronologically and adding up the ages provided in Genesis 5 and 11, it becomes apparent that the Bible teaches the earth to be about 6000 years old, give or take a few hundred years.

    What about the billions of years accepted by most scientists today and taught in the vast majority of our academic institutions?

    This age is primarily derived from two dating techniques: radiometric dating and the geologic timescale.

    Scientists who advocate the younger age of about 6000 years insist that radiometric dating is flawed in that it is founded upon a series of faulty assumptions, while the geologic timescale is flawed in that it employs circular reasoning. 

    Moreover, they point to the debunking of old-earth myths, like the popular misconception that it takes long periods of time for stratification, fossilization and the formation of diamonds, coal, oil, stalactites, stalagmites, etc, to occur.

    Finally, young-earth advocates present positive evidence for a young age for the earth in place of the old-earth evidences which they debunk.

    Young-earth scientists acknowledge that they are in the minority today but insist that their ranks will swell over time as more and more scientists reexamine the evidence and take a closer look at the currently accepted old-earth paradigm.

    Ultimately, the age of the earth cannot be proven.

    Whether 6000 years or billions of years, both viewpoints (and everything in between) rest on faith and assumptions.

    Those who hold to billions of years trust that methods such as radiometric dating are reliable and that nothing has occurred in history that may have disrupted the normal decay of radio-isotopes.

    Those who hold to 6000 years trust that the Bible is true and that other factors explain the “apparent” age of the earth, such as the global flood, or God’s creating the universe in a state that “appears” to give it a very long age.

    These are the kind of people who are ruining the world.  If you are dumb enough to believe the world is 6000 years old and believe in fairy tales as of they are fact, then you should be in a mental hospital...

    I say you are ruining the world because this kind of stupidity, this kind of illogical thinking has to translate to a stupid workforce.  If you are that dumb, can you even learn simple tasks?  It absolutely boggles my mind that a human can believe that...  THERE WAS MILLIONS OF ANIMALS AND SUCH THAT WOULD'VE NEEDED TO GO ON THE BOAT AND THEY ALL WANT TO EAT EACH OTHER!!!



    Yes, I believe this to and with all my heart!!!
    As a matter of fact, we are not the only 2 saying it...

    Statistics say  there is 1.5 billion christians, 1 billion Muslims, 0.8 billion Hindus, 0.5 billion Budahsim so 
    1.5+1+0.8+0.5 = 4.1 billion
    World population almost = 6 billion

    So, about 4.1 billion think this way to.

    That is a heck of a lot of people that you would have to put in a mental hospital...lol
