I don't believe any of this, just giving you suggestions, but if you believe the earth is only 6,000 years old, that is unbelievable.
your basing all your statements on the opinions of others and not what the bible says. the bible does not put a date on the creation of earth nor the creation of man. there may be some that think they have unlocked all of this by doing calculations from todays understanding of time and mathematics but not all of us are sold on that.
the bible doesnt go into detail about dinosaurs but it never says they never existed.
can you give a specific example of something the bible says that you think is wrong? so far you havent.

[what about the universe expanding?]

I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands,

have [stretched out] the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.




still stretching or expanding, and never lacking of finding new life on earth.

i know this is kind of dumb but i always get so confused with god's existance and sometimess even doubt him. the bible doesnt explain things too well and makes everything sound weird...! where did cains wife come from?! if adam and eve were the only ones on earth and cain and abel.... And when did dinisours exist if science proves they were on earth before humans!!!? and science also proves that humans come from an evolution of monkeys
There are possible explanations but they are not in the standard Bible accepted as the inspired word of God by most churches. They can be found in a Jewish book called Jubilees written over a hundred years before Christ. In it it states that Adam and Eve had Daughters called Awan and Azura. Cain took his Sister Awan to be his Wife and Seth took his Sister Azura.

It also states that before the flood Angels corrupted the whole of creation. They mated with women who produced Giants. They also corrupted the Animal kingdom and its order, which sounds like some tampering with genetics. This could explain where Dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals came from and why the flood destroyed them all.

I should emphasise that this is not recognised as scripture but from Jewish tradition i

Adam was 133 years old when Cain's younger brother Seth was born, and we are not told how long it was before Cain married, but we know that Adam and Eve had other children, some of them girls. Do you know that allowing for one child per couple every five years, the population could have grown to millions, and/or billions, by the time Adam died? Simple math proves this :)

It is not unbelievable when you realize that scientists are measuring time with elements that God created. He can make them look any age He wants and be cause He will fool unbelievers with delusions when Satan becomes known, there is no reason, since He is unchanging, to think that he isn't fooling them now. 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 (11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.)
