How do Creationists reconcile discoveries that date back hundreds of millions of years

...,such as this one, and the Creation timeline?

LINK

Have always thought the creationism vs. evolution was a bit of a silly argument.

Stand-alone, neither creationism nor evolution, pass the eyeballs test.

Creationism of ~6k years, incestuous design, singular place on Earth...does not add up to what eyeballs see as many different strands of humans across the world dating back hundreds of millions of years, and NOT on incestuous design

Evolution, with all due respect to Darwin, does not properly explain the almost unfathomably amazing design of life and all the interdependent factors and conditions to create, sustain, and enjoy (yes, emotions! not mentioned much by Darwin, yet serves such a critical role in human experience); far, far too amazing and intricately designed to be based on randomness of origin.

Reconciliation:
Have you ever considered that creation took place all across the Earth a long, long time ago and evolved, by design, into present day humans and experience?

Like all conspiracy theorists, they claim without evidence that the arguments against their beliefs are using faulty reasoning, made-up evidence, or straight up lies.

Yeah, evolution actually does explain all of that.

Evolution and time does. Lots of time.

Well for one the fella who invented carbon 14 dating said it was only reliable up to 6k years of dating.

For two, rock that has been submerged under water will also show an older date than it really is.

So, we question the science of dating these objects.

The only way to explain evolution is to believe in the earth being that old. There is also no evidence that a gene mutation (evolution) will be better for the host. A gene mutation always causes a cancer and kills the host.

The old lost scriptures, “The Book of Adam and Eve” and “The Book of Enoch” go into creationism a lot more. I encourage you to read them put together by Joseph Ludwig. He explains what these books say and why they weren’t included in the original Bible

Your link was a CNN article. CNN has absolutely ZERO redeeming value.

ZERO

As for Creation vs. Evolution. It's Evolution.

The evidence that doesn’t fit the timeline was either:

A. Placed there by Satan to mislead us.
Or
B. (And this is my favorite). Placed there by god to test the faith of believers.

I’ve heard both arguments.

I started doubting dating techniques when I learned they found a dinosaur fossil with soft tissue. Minimum of 66 million years old with soft tissue?

It makes sense if there was more than one creation. Gap theory is a pretty reasonable explanation.

Take a breath

Now, think about purpose

Then, think about the factors that exist (O2, pressure, concentration, temperature) and anatomy and physiological systems that exist (nasal and trachea) to lungs to air sacs to pulmonary artery to...on and on) to the technical intricacies of that breath's role in creating energy:

And let's just stop there for sake of argument.

Back to purpose...what all dat is?

Darwin explained the longitudinal human trace well, not so much the cross-section of time of each step along that trace, such as the very small yet ultra important, example of purpose, factors, technical design and process of a simple breath in its role of evolving this experience, past to present to future.

That's why.

Meaningfulness and amazement, Mr. Darwin lacked.

That's still evolution. Evolution doesn't state how life started. Just that basically everything is related at the genetic level and all living things slowly evolved from the same organism branching off into different species. Like a tree.

The biggest lie of the world is Darwin's "belief" that evolution explains the creation of new species from organisms through natural selection.

Honest scientists would say the creation of new species from darwin evolution is unlikely which in other words likely impossible. The math doesn't work in any of it.

Darwinism is more religion than science.

There isn't one. It's all a happy accident. Just enjoy it while you can.

God's timeline is not your our timeline.

As smart and intelligent as humans have become they are arrogant to believe they know and understand everything especially as it related to God.

Longitudinal human tracing, yes it does.

Cross-section of human factors, design, and purpose in that segment of said longitudinal human tracing, no it does not.

Be amazed, Mr. Darwin! I suspect the Darwin family tree developed his pre-frontal cortex and took him down a rational experience moreso than his limbic system (emotional experience); lacking the full capacity to be amazed at life's design to effectively explain it.

Just a hunch.

There are many, many bigger lies than that.

That's also not exactly an accurate description of Darwin's "belief."

I have no idea what this means.

Are you assuming that the only arguments for evolution come from Darwin? And that all scientific fields have been operating under the assumptions of a man who didn’t have the capacity to be amazed by life?
