That’s the only thing I struggle with as a Christian is we are finding more and more evidence there were humans hundreds of thousands of years ago, including a more advanced civilization that started over
So Jesus just came in some random year hundreds of thousands of years after them? Where did those people go when they died? What about their savior they worshiped we’ve never heard about ?
1. Do you really trust all of this “science”? Have you really dug in and researched it?
2. The Great Flood. And if you think there is evidence of more advanced societies prior to the Great Flood, see question # 1.
3. Jesus was and is the only Savior. Those souls that were not yet subject to His saving went to the “hell” referenced in the Apostle’s Creed (“He descended into hell”) in order to await the salvation of Jesus. This is not Satan’s “hell,” but a place for souls to await the coming of Christ. It may be called “hades” and is referenced in scripture as “Abraham’s bosom.” Jesus went there after his death for 3 days (Jewish counting custom) and then Jesus ascended into Heaven, followed by all of the righteous souls awaiting salvation.
This is doctrinal across all Christian faiths as far as I can tell. This doctrine is not new, but has been studied since the beginnings of Christianity. Your church should be teaching it.
I’ll add this. In John, Ch. 6, some of the crowds depart from Jesus when he proclaims that they must eat His flesh and drink His blood in order to fully receive Him and gain eternal life. The crowds could not accept this teaching and did not believe it. Jesus turned to his disciples and asked if they too would depart from him. Peter said, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
When the present world presents problems that unsettle you in your Christian faith, think about the faith that must have had been had by those early disciples, and especially the Apostles. Not only during Christ’s mission on earth, but after Christ’s ascension. Christians were ridiculed. Christians were persecuted. Christians were hunted. Christians were tortured. Christians were martyred. All because of their unshakeable belief in Jesus Christ. Those are the Christians that we are called to be. Don’t let earthly questions and problems shake your faith. You are bound to those earthly problems if you do. We are called to become heavenly. Being bound to earthly questions, that likely already have doctrinal answers, will not get you there.

And what about the thousands of other religions and billions of people who know nothing about christ. Are they doomed, just because?
There is a higher force, karma exists. Free will exists. Nothingness can never exist. Hopefully our next journey is better or worse depending on how we lived and acted in this one.
Do good, be good, enjoy existence and be thankful for what you have.

All historical academia will eventually need to accept that we've been here a lot longer than most people are willing to accept.

As a Christian who studies Buddhism, I've come to the belief that "God" is the overlying Energy or Force that connects everything in the Universe.
One Voice, Many Faces.
That's why when you die, you never fully cease to exist. You just pass into another phase of the Universal Energy, and continue to exist within it. Your essence carries on in plants, water, animals, etc.
You quite literally join God's embrace.

I question all dating simply because I don’t believe they know what they are talking about. Just look at 65 million year old dinosaur fossils with soft tissue, clearly impossible.

Here we see the convergence of Evangelical Christianity and mainstream science.

I'm in a similar spot. God created everything that made life possible. It is up to us what we do with it.

Takes one line. Fails to see the rest. And gets the religion wrong, to boot.
If the poster is questioning his faith based on the “science,” I simply asked if he’d questioned the “science.” It’s an entirely reasonable position. But not for one who blindly accepts the “science,” like you, I suppose.

I did read the rest, but the entire point is held up by this

Which fails to respond directly or relevantly to his post.

Well, the point certainly went WAY over your head.
And you tried to us an ad hom all the same
Judeo-Christianity only works if human society started around the Bronze Age. If we find out humans existed long before, that ESPECIALLY if we find out advanced (Iron Age at best) civilizations existed longer than we once thought. The Old Testament is written around a Mediterranean, Bronze Age-early Iron Age understanding of the world. It only works within that context, and if we find out that the story of mankind on Earth is something completely different, we get into a similar scenario if aliens are ever revealed to be true: how can the story of humanity and Earth leave all of that out?
