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

That is a tough one. Equally tough is to reconcile that there was no beginning before God. I just kind of roll with who I find more intelligent; the scientist or the priest.

Creationism of ~6k years
Most creationists believe time in the creation account was relative. The earth didn’t even exist for part of creation so why would it make sense to use earth days? Also the New Testament talks about 1000 years being but a day to God, so it’s easy to consider that the “days” of creation were just giving us a way to understand the order.
I think the biggest issues with Evolution are the fine tuning of the universe, the shear amount of information in DNA, and the Cambrian Explosion. The amount of faith it takes to believe these things happened by chance is staggering to me.

Well, if CS Lewis believed it, it must be a somewhat reasonable position that theism and evolution is compatible and this thread is retarded

These days with all the propaganda “the science” puts out?
Probably the priest

Why not both? I believe species evolve and evolution has created new species. My argument always comes down to this: how exactly did life come to be on Earth?
I don't buy the primordial soup & lightning theory. So once I consider all the ridiculously impossible odds leading to Earth being where it is in relation to the Sun.. then the chances of a series of theoretical occurrences which could lead to a single-cell organism springing to life out of nothing... the idea of a Creator starts becoming a lot more plausible.
If the simplest forms of life were sent to Earth with the knowledge that those microscopic organisms would eventually evolve into complex life forms... that's easier for me to reconcile than the stupid amount of chances required for all this to happen circumstantially.

Yea, cause there has never been propaganda in the "House of God"

You fundamentally do not understand evolution. A fish didn't just start spawning frog eggs one day. Gradual beneficial genetic changes built up over thousands and thousands of years that allowed them to tolerate terrestrial environments.
Sorry we can't give you the 2 second color-book graphic of evolution. Must mean it's fake.

It doesn't matter to me. I really couldn't care less. But it's just something the Atheist push to try and disprove God. And yes it's their 'religion'. At the heart of it all isn't Science as much of trying to disprove God. I believe there is room for interpretation on both sides of the theories. In the end it doesn't matter at all to me and my life.

Scientific method by definition is it is observable and repeatable. Evolution is neither. That is not science. It is a fairy tale. A blind belief system. A religion in it’s own.
Your eye/hair color, your mother or father's?
Height?
Mannerisms?
Intellectual capacity?
The science is there; the art is in how to dispell what creationism has taught you and incorporate the observed and repeated into the creationist's narrative, which I believe to be true - we were created and are continuing to be created via evolution.
Mr. Charles Darwin had the gall to ask (REM), but he is not the whole story.

Hundreds of examples. It hilarious how many times Carbon dating screws things up. It is not reliable at all.

So any somewhat reasonable position makes further discussion of the topic retarded? Lewis would not approve of that.

Exactly. If anything (assuming existence), Science is attempting to discover "him".

Again, that is adaptation.
My question still stands: can you give me one example of observable evidence of a change of kind??
I want just one. Please!

Evolutionists still haven’t explained why there are still monkeys if we came from monkeys. They would have evolved into humans

Intelligent design. Evolution can be the answer to the how and not the why.
God exists. He is all that is good and right and just. He is love and mercy. He has known you through all time and he calls you to himself. He gives you the beautiful gift of free will and life on earth and all he asks in return is you say thank you to Him and love your neighbors.
And every day we deny Him and elevate ourselves above Him. Earnestly search your heart and you will find him there. Deny the worldly pleasures of earth and you will find your reward in heaven and eternal life. Choose worldly pleasure over the Lord and you will reap your eternal reward at judgment day.
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, for you will see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you will be thrown out
