Of course are the lungs the same. The dident live in water :) We know if I am not wrong that the Sun makes that cells age faster. This waterbelt hinders the sunintensity, so that cells growing slower, so it can be a logic explaination why people before the flood got older f.e. 969 years. And dinosaur which growing like krokodiles livelong, finaly died because of bad live circumstances, f.e. changed climate.

I think you have missed the point here? The bible years are human assessment of astrological year .so the unit of measurement for man at that time would vary over the astrological time.This difference could be greater at or nearer the equator where daily variance is not soo visually pronounced.the claims that Moses was 140 upon his death is a cultural claim.This civilization respected age and therefore pumping up the ages of bible figures was done to gain respect as apposed to a biological claim.This with the human measurement of the year at the time caused these inaccuracies.It is likely Moses would have been around 90 on todays calculations.


The way they kept time and we keep time are very different. I am 46, but in Noah's day would be around 80 right now.

Good Example:

  • Antarctic ozone hole has closed in near-record time for 2019 Just a month or so ago, the 2019 Antarctic ozone hole was declared the smallest seen since it was first discovered back in 1985. Now, data from NASA Ozone Watch is showing that the ozone hole has completely closed up as of November 11 - the earliest it has done so since 2002.

See, it naturally opens and naturally closes. But Science was claiming its opening meant our soon death. It's a money scam!
well that isn’t completely correct, there is NO hole, it’s when the layer is at its thinnest that what science says, what scienctist said a hole will lead to death?

When we can observe this opening and closing within our own lifetimes and yet we still are ALIVE, we know the Dinosaurs did not die over climate change. God made climate change to be a natural process. This is why we find Dinosaur remains under mass volumes of Old Lava from volcanoes. Which means, Dinosaurs were here way before Adam!
Your logic isn't logical. That dinosaur fossils are found underneath lava flows does not mean they were "here way before Adam".

I'd encourage you to spend some time examining real young-earth arguments.

I did not write the article, SCIENCE did.
No a guy for yahoo news, who did not explain the blue part is not a hole but thinner layer.

Media wordage it’s a hole it’s a hole no it’s a thinner layer

Since Science was my first Major, I have read their argument and find no reason to accept it. But, I am also not claiming the Earth is billions of years old either. I believe the max age is around 12,000 years old. I probably could buy doubling that age due to how we can age tree rings, ice rings, etc. But aging rock based off of water damage is pure malarkey!

That makes you a young-earth creationist. ;)

All Christians should be creationists, therefore the majority would be creationists.

As to debate, it is generally fruitless.
I know. Was looking for real Christians. Have been looking for 9 years now 💤

PS. I presume that you a ‘narnia’ fan?
“Perhaps the reason that Tolkien and Lewis showed pagan sympathy in their stories is due to their affiliation with one Charles Williams who was a member of the highly satanic, Qabalistic "Order of the Golden Dawn." (The "Order of the Golden Dawn" was primarily made up of mystical "Christians" and former followers of Madame Blavatsky the founder of the Theosophical Society that still adhered to Luciferianism.) Williams, along with Tolkien and Lewis, were members of a close knit Oxford reading group known as “The Inklings.” This is almost certainly where Lewis arrived at his extra-biblical ideas concerning the Holy Grail and other mid-evil myths”. https://www.ericbarger.com/lotr.c.c.2.htm
I’m sure the majority of Christians could attest to being under satan’s rule at some point before their salvation........... (1 Cor.6:11) BUT, there’s hope for anyone who has been decieved. Jesus came to set the captives free...

Evidence for either of these inflammatory comments?
'Question: "What is the Jesus Seminar?"

Answer:
The "Jesus Seminar" was begun by New Testament "scholar" Robert Funk in the 1970s. It was Funk’s desire to rediscover the "historical Jesus" that was hidden, he believed, behind almost 2,000 years of Christian traditions, myths, and legends. The Jesus Seminar was created to examine the biblical gospels and other early Christian literature to discover who Jesus truly was and what He truly said.


The Jesus Seminar was (and still is) comprised almost entirely of individuals who deny the inspiration, authority, and inerrancy of the Bible. The agenda of the Jesus Seminar is not to discover who the historical Jesus was. Rather, the purpose of the Jesus Seminar is to attack what the Bible clearly says about who Jesus is and what He taught...

...It is absolutely ridiculous, even offensive, to think that a group of "scholars" today can more accurately determine what Jesus did and did not say than the authors of the gospels, who wrote in the same century in which Jesus lived, taught, died, and was resurrected... '
