From the Bible, this present "Earth Age",is around, 6k-6.5k years! That is to say, how long flesh man has walked on 2 feet. Having said this? The planet earth, is much older! But, as "scientists" ( i use the term loosely), love to have their "theories", accepted, if by no one else, then other scientists, in their "collective protracted wisdom" of matters, they really don't know much about, are more correct, in their saying the earth is billions of years old. In their saying that mankind "evolved" from monkey's, or apes, or amoeba's, from some type of "medicated goo"?.....Uhhhh.....NO! :cool:

Well they couldn't have. Noahs ark landed in the middle east, and there is no connection between there and Australia. There are also no kangaroo fossils anywhere but 'stralia.. But idk
Kangaroo fossils have also been found in Africa and Europe.

lol.. I used to be old earth. I did some study and changed my view,, But it does not mean I hate my old earth brothers and sisters.

I love to discuss it, sadly it usually turns into a heated debate which ends up dividing not uniting..

I too have been told i can;t be saved if I am YEC.,lol

the earth today does not look like it did back them, that was part of the catachlism which brought the flood, Also changed and (many think) created the continents and started the continental drift.

That's not how science works my friend :)P)

Nothing can be accepted as science unless it has been tested and approved and everything must be reproducable. You must not think that science is a form of a single community... It's simply a way to explore the facts about earth in a non-biased way, unlike many religions. I still believe though haha!

yet most of what science calls science is still basically nothing more than theory.

OEC and YEC are two theories concerning creation.

There is also a "time" during this present "everlasting", when "dry land" was one big chunk. Then?.. "It moved!"...(again) scientists, have called this "tectoinic shift", as in plate tectonics, as they had to call it something, right? Like another poster queried, I'd like to know where yer Mom, got her 2k-3k age of the planet. :cool:

Let's say that someone has a theory that objects fall down when they're thrown into the air. You would have to document it thoroughly and it must be reproducable. And it is. Every time I throw an apple into the air, it falls back down. This was of course a simple example but we have to start somewhere right?! :p

You shall find, my friend that empiricism, and faith, are much like trying to mix oil and water! :cool:

The theory of relativity is only a theory but I can say that my iq is higher than yours. But mine is not very high. That's just an example, though. What confuses me is that you doubt physical evidence but take the bible for granted even though you dont know the middle easterns who wrote them thousands of years ago, and we know that Albert Einstein made the theory of relativity. I am still an avid believer ahahah its conflicting i know

I believe physical evidence proves my point. the secular scientist lie that we ignore evidence is just talk, based on no real facts.

Here is the problem, people interpret evidence, It is this interpretation which leads to their belief or theory.

Many see the fossil record and see billions of years of evolution

Many see the fossil record as a record of a great catastrophic flood event.

the fact is, I believe there is more evidence (if we look at facts) for a flood event, then there is for evolution event )to many missing links)

but still, what we have is how we interpret data..
