re: Republican Lawmaker believes Earth is 6,000 years old

Circle = 2D
Sphere = 3D

You're not even worth arguing against lol. I'm disappointed in you.

Ok, Earth was created in 7 days and there were 75 generations between Adam and Jesus just as I mentioned earlier.. you do the math.

It is when you argue against facts.

It is my understanding, from talking with a few devout creationists, that most believe that god created everything including all the science stuff to make it appear that the earth is that old.

Now when you go down that path - that god made the dinosaur fossils, and the carbon dating stuff, and so forth - you can't really say that they are wrong, after all, you weren't here when all that happened.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in God, but I also believe in the Big Bang and evolution and so on and I think those people are slightly off their rocker when it comes to their beliefs. But ultimately who am I to judge?

Ok. Let me try again.

Please present actual evidence without using any biblical text that the Earth is 6000 years old.

Scientific, verifiable, testable, peer reviewable evidence.

Exactly, I believe the Bible and earth is around 6k years old as well. I understand not everyone agrees with each other on that accord. I also don't make fun of them for not believing what I believe in.

It's more like you're a flat earther

I wish I could experience what it feels like to have such great faith in such a poorly written book

Also, nice non answer.

All scientific evidence points to you being wrong. I can't highlight it all.

Now. Let's see that evidence.

Love your conviction - hold true - I do !!!!

However which creation tale are we believing? Gen1 where man was created on the sixth day after all of the animals.... or Gen2 where man was formed then all the critters so he could name them (and then finally he gets a woman)?

The first account was pretty sure it took 2 days to get all the seas creatures, fishes, birds, and animals then finally man. And the second references the whole shebang in an completely different order, even to the point of man being formed before the trees and edibles of Eden, and finally there was critters. It also goes to great lengths to point it happened this way?

Personally I'm not so sure, both, can be true?

His theory is no more ridiculous then the pretzel logic that liberals and progressives use to lecture on "science" issues. Dems try to argue with a straight face that a fetus with fully developed body parts is somehow not human or that a person with full male genitalia and an Adams apple is really a female if he/she thinks he or she is in his or her mind.
