Pretty sure god doesn’t understand his plan, either. At this point, he’s just winging it.

I look at it as the fall of Adam represents that point in human evolution when consciousness is developed to the point where man has a self-awareness and can contemplate his own mortality.
And maybe Jesus being the Son of God was just an allegory or embellishment too because someone knew no one would pay a damn bit of attention to any teachings attributed to Him if he were seen as just an ordinary man.
Take away the miracles and promise of eternal life and no one gives a frick about what wisdom Jesus had to share.

Did you do the testing with the radioactive decay of uranium or did you at least take the results and do the math yourself or do you just believe someone else's test?
That’s why we have scientists across multiple disciplines studying different thesis and writing peer reviewed papers on these topics ….
So I don’t have to learn and study this shite.

The earth is probably billions of years old. This version of earth has been around for ten's of thousands of years. IMO, earth has been destroyed and repopulated numerous times. Who knows how many times. This seems obvious, based on the archaeological records. What we know about the earth's past is insignificant.

And yet he more often referred to himself as the "Son of Man".

promise of eternal life
I don't see that as much as a physical manifestation, but rather one's spirit being in God's grace for eternity. And the way to do that is through God's Laws.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
...
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
And more specifically, he said this to the Pharisees when asked, "which is the great commandment in the law?":
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
The way to God's eternal Grace is through the law, and most importantly to love God, and love your fellow man.
Until I can love all men (and women), I will not consider myself a Christian.
I must love Biden and Trump. I must love Hitler and Stalin. I must love my mother, and the kid who stole my bike. And I mean an active, unconditional sort of love, not some kind of tangential, theoretical kind of love.
No one said it was easy to be in God's Grace.

This is such a lazy answer.
Like growing up when I asked straightforward questions about animals or weather and I would just be told "because God made it that way."

Your own proximity on Earth, where you were nurtured, has a huge influence on this discussion.
Calling all baws who represent that "other" slice of the Earth's population, those that represent 70% (non-Christian) of Earth's population.
Lay it on us...how old is the Earth you 70%'ers?

Isn’t the question your really trying to ask is “was it created by a higher power or did it come to be out of nothing?” Age is irrelevant.
If you don't believe in a being who has always been, where was the material to build the universe come from?
Reminds me of a joke an old pastor told me.
There were all these scientists who came to God and said "God we appreciate all you have done, but we are capable of handling everything now. You can retire, you aren't needed anymore. We can create new animals, send space ships to far away worlds. God, your time has passed".
To which God replied "Wow, I didn't realize you had those abilities, lets do one last test. With that God reached down into the soil and threw the dirt out into the air and a never before species of animal appeared".
The scientists all snickered and laughed. Then one of them reached down to grab some soil and God said "STOP! Get your own dirt...".

The Roman Catholic Church has no issue with an old earth. It has no issue with accepting Genesis as allegory.
It was not until fundamentalist protestants came along and denied all sources of authority other than the Bible (including tradition, apocryphal texts, and, yes, science) that you started getting all of these cockamamey theories about an earth that a few thousand years old.
I'll get downvotes for this, but I invite anyone to identify three scientists in the world who are not Christians but believe that the earth is 6-10k years old.
I'll hang up and listen. And yes, I am a Christian.

Maybe from God.
Perhaps the creative force of the universe transformed itself into the universe at the moment of creation. In that sense, not only is God all around us, God is us, the earth, moon and stars, and everything else. Maybe God is all of the forces of Nature, and the force of life that is the difference between a clump of molecules and a living organism.
After all, we are told we were made in God's image - what if everything is made in God's image?

There were a few that were amazing(ly stupid).
I literally had a bookmark for Creationist arguments just to reference. Answers in Genesis is some high comedy
