6 000 years?

How do you explain carbon dating neanderthal bones to be 30k and 40,000 years ago based on 190 different sites' bones.

Here is lies the biggest debate, not saying you're wrong but just as you said, there are those who believe literally as the Bible says and those who interpret it.

Genesis 3 states that separated his days by "lightness" and "Darkness" and he called those days. So by taking a literal understanding of the Bible then Gods 7 days would be the same as man's 7 days.

On a separate note, when it comes to different denominations I find it funny how those with a much more loose form of worship (new age Baptist) have a much more literal belief in the Bible that those who have a much more rigid form of worship (Catholics and Episcopalians) which have a more interpretive understanding of the Bible.

Because the inventor of carbon dating himself stated that the science is only reliable to date to around 4K years old.

So what, there are at least 100 Members of Congress who all believe we will be living underwater in 50 years.

There was 75 generations between Adam and Jesus. Doing the math on that doesn't add up.. Science has proven us one thing through history and that it's constantly wrong and having to change its tune. The Bible is the only thing that's stayed constant and has proven true.

Liberals think socialism will eventually work somewhere. And you wonder why conservatives mock liberals.


So strange that you actually believe that. I dont know any full socialists. Not one.

The mythical "liberals are socialist" belief is yet another reason to mock you.

You should get to know the guy who started the thread here.

ETA, To his credit, at least he's honest with us - and himself.

Dr. Ben Carson, notably. He certainly studied courses like comparative anatomy and physiology. Yet no one doubts his high level of intelligence and skill as a surgeon.

Radiocarbon dating is accurate up to 40,000 years. So there goes that one...

Has Guam tipped over? When did the 57th state become a state? I can post about 300 facts from Sheila Jackson Lee that would make anyone shake their head.

Both sides have morons.

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.




You are a complete lunatic to believe this. There is LITERALLY zero actual evidence to support your position.

Job 26:7 references the earth in a spherical form.... when science widely believed earth was flat (which it obviously changed its tune to). So there's that..
