There are dinosaur bones, supposedly millions years old. God created all. Is the earth older than we think? 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth', and then he speaks all else into existence each day. Is there a gap in time between those events? I just am wondering if God created the earth and all in it longer ago than thought.

The so-called "gap theory" is nonsense. It's something people made up to accomodate the geological cloumn, which states that every layer of rock in the Earth is millions of years different in age. That column is also a fallacy, created by a Scottish lawyer named Charles Lyell who invented it strictly to try and disprove the Bible.

You can go into almost any museum today, and ask the scientists, "How do you know these bones are so old?" their answer will likely be, "Because we found them in this rock layer." But then, you ask them how they know the age of the rock, and they'll say, "Because we found these dinosaur bones in it." That line of thought is a classic example of circular reasoning; it just doesn't work.

Radiocarbon dating, which has never significantly contradicted geology.

(Not all Christians are young-earth Creationists.)

^^ great post my friend! anyway the earth is only 6000 yrs old just like what the bible said! and most dinosaurs died during the time of Noah! the only way to fossilized those huge animals is through rapid burial which could only happen if there's world wide flood!

No no no! Ken Hovind is anything but a good Christian. He's a fraud, a criminal and a liar. He lied about his education, lied about his experience, lied about scientific knowledge, and was arrested under federal charges for embezzlement and tax-evasion.

All I can really say is that rejecting what we know about biology and geology, from hundreds of years of research and study and an unfathomably huge amount of evidence, does nothing to glorify God. Instead we should appreciate the beauty of the world that he has created and continue to learn what we can about it in order to better understand the majesty of creation.

I'd recommend the book Finding Darwin's God.

There is one more post on this somewhere, not sure where though :p

I believe that the earth and universe was formed thorough "evolution" . God made the earth in 6 days, but in his eyes a one day can be a thousand years...
I'll be very disappointed if the earth, sun, and everythong else out there is only 6 thousand years old

well pls don't get offended my friend but believing in a god who used evolution to create all of us doesn't sound like the god of the bible! i really don't wanna argue with this creation vs evolution thing since neither of us can disprove each other! that's unless we can use a time machine to see what really happened back then!

as for me my faith in God is the thing that's keeping me from believing that we came from monkeys

well god is god and nothing is impossible to him! that's why i believe that he created everything in only 6 days and took a break on the 7th! the human brain is limited and science alone cant show us everything! but then again i don't wanna go to a deep argument about this! :D im just happy that im not talking to an atheist right now since they'll do everything on their power to put ppl like me (creationist) down!

and to think that early Christians were persecuted the same way for teaching things that's against the acceptable beliefs of most ppl back in the day!

I suppose we can just agree to disagree. I still think the Science vs Religion dichotomy is unnecessary.

These same people who say the earth is so old also say we came from monkeys. Consider the source.

Dinosaurs do exist in the bible when you read the bible in the book of 2 esdras(Apocrypha)King James 1611 between the old and the new testament apart of the bible that was takin out by the inspiration of satan but through God almighty we have received it back)Isaiah 40:8 the Word of God shall stand forever.2 Esdras 6:47 God made on the fifth day two types of dinosaurs one is leviathan (water Dinosaurs and who they call today Lochness monster) and the second dinosaur is enoch(land animals in the book of Job its called behemeth)Job 40:15- big dinosaurs with scales,it said his tail was like a cedar(tree) and said the dinosaur is so big he can drink up a river. job 41:1- talks about leviathan so powerful that breathes fire under the water(where they get godzilla from) but these mysteries where not revealed to everyone but the men God showed it to colossians 1:26 Even the Mystery which hath been hid from agesand from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints!who is Gods saints?(psalms 50:5 Gather my saints together unto me:(who?)THOSE that have made a COVENANT with me by sacrifice. The saints are the one who mad a COVENANT with God who is the one who made a covenant with God?ROMANS 9-1 The Apostle pauls says he say the truth in Christ and lie not.and his conscience bearing him witness in the Holy Spirit(his mind is in full agreement of whats being brought out through the holy spirit. 4.WHO ARE ISRAELITES(the so-called NEGROES,HISPANICS and NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS are God's CHOSEN PEOPLE!!!)to whom pertaineth(BELONGS TO)the adoption,and the glory.and the COVENANTS!!! so Israelites are the saints theres more PSALMS 149:1 tells the SAINTS to sing a song and praise God 2:LET ISRAEL!!!rejoice in him showing who the saints are and last but not least PSALMS 148:14 He also exalteth the Horn of HIS PEOPLE, the Praise of all his SAINTS;EVEN OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL!!,a people near unto him. so thats who the saints are the ISRAELITES (so-called negroes ,hispanics, and native american indians is God's chosen people! and they coming back all twelve tribes in The Israelite Church of God In Jesus Christ www.thecomforter.info and www.theholyconceptionunit.org
