Who set the speed limit of light? I'm not asking, who was the guy who came up with the
speed of light, but who "set" the speed? If a man can alter the speed limit of travel on a
road, why would it be a difficult task for God to do the same for His creation? A raging storm
isn't suppose to just stop dead and everything calm, but that's what Jesus did out in the boat.
A man isn't suppose to just walk across water, but Jesus did. Food isn't made out of nothing
and fed to 4000 and 5000 people, but Jesus did it. The sundial went backwards in Is 38:8
Changing the speed of light? Not a problem.
The issue is, trying to make God obey science, but failing to know who set up the parameters.
God isn't governed by the laws of physics and such, He sets them. Man used to live into the age
of 900, but now, few live to see 90. God tweeked things didn't He?

Well considering I have watched Kent Hovind's videos I can say all of his 'evidence' is completely erroneous.One example was his attempt to convince people dinosaurs walked with man and still do in modern times .This is completely unjustified and his 'evidence' included eye witness accounts from a handful of people and the loch ness monster.I'm not being facetious as he actually tried to use a known myth as viable proof to support dinosaurs are still roaming around now. That is just one point and it's completely unscientific.
you are the one giving erroneous evidence..there have been fossliised foot prints of humans found in fossilised dinosaur foot prints..so how do you explain THAT? the fact that the cryptosaurus has been depicted down through the ages by the Chinese, Nordic, Viking, Celtic and many other cultures is very powerful evidence that humans have witnessed dinosaurs first hand..these are just two examples of overwhelming evidences..the pleiseousaur was fished up off Japanese waters with its flesh intact and a pic of the pleiseosaurus was found in a cave painting done by Australian aborigines..there are many many cases of humans and dinosaurs coexisting

Yes actually they have provided perfectly good evidence for that. The footprints are not human, why do we know that? Archaeologists have looked at those prints, they do not have five toes, they barely resemble the human foot. The Paluxy dinosaur/man track has not stood up to scientific scrutiny. Even with that we know that a animal print now will become distorted by what they have walked onto. Mud collapse will remove most evidence from the print. The print is a dinosaur foot print with mud collapse its very easy to see it when you look at objective evidence. It's completely unscientific to link that to any form of human. Well I can easily explain eye witness accounts with a couple points. When the Roman empire were around they ventured to Africa. They came back with tales of the mythical Chimera. This beast was brought to Rome and documented. It was a giraffe. None of this is evidence for dinosaurs walking with man.

I'm not a geologist but here's my thought.....
How could the earth be millions or even billions of years old, I just can't see it. Here's why. If say 100 million years passed (even 10 million for that matter). Wouldn't all the dino bones they claim are that old disappear. Like wouldn't say in a period of 10 million years all the land mass would be regurgitated threw the earth subductions zones back into the earths mantal, and turned back into lava? Or am I wrong? Because isn't the land constantly going back into the subduction zones and brought back out of them and via volcano's? And if so then how would dino bones survive the earths mantel, and or even emerge from there again? It seems impossible. Add to that countless volcano's spilling lava, earthquakes, and meteorites, natural erosion and I think that within 10 million years the earth surface would be totally changed. Like not one atom would be the same at after that time frame. Yet scientists actually want us to believe that dino bones found laying on top of the earth surface or just a few feet under are like 200 million years old? I just can't see it. That too me would be much more plausable to be something say 7000 years ago. Generally we find artifcates often within a few feet underground in the same way and also only a few thousand years old. Why the dino bones and the artifacts come up nearly in the exact same depth underground, basically digging distance, one they claim being 200 million years older than the other seem obserd. Like right now we have a few atoms in our body from every living person who ever lived appartently. That's how regergitated the atoms get even after a few thousand years. So you have a few atoms of buddha, hitler, Paul, Moses, everyone making up your body. Look it up. How? Because as something decintegrates the atoms get reused by the environment. Gradually making there way into the food chain and back into your body. I'm not a scientist but I've read this stuff in science articles. So these bones still being in good shape after 200 million years? that's a joke if you ask me. Carbon dating must be way off.

Well, they aren't really finding the bones, but fossilized bones. The minerals in the ground seeped
in and replaced the bone, making a "stone copy" as it were. They did find an iron axe head with part
of the wooden handle, through the axe head, was fossilized. I guess that means dinosaurs or
neanderthols had iron axes.
