You can hide your green bar boxes but I don't believe that you can shut off your rep power. You give rep by clicking on the star of the bottom of the post that you want to rep. By dong this you are awarding rep points based on the amount of your rep power. The higher your rep power the more points that are awarded. Each 100 points is worth 1 rep power. You also get 1 rep power after posting 50 posts. After that you are awarded 1 rep power for each 1000 posts you write. Also, each year on the anniversary that you joined you get 1 rep power.

I feel like you have good points, but all of science tells us that in order for the fossils that are carved into the ice to be layered in the manner like they are, a few million years has to pass. This is a difficult topic

Yeah, science tells us lots of things. At one time, science tried to tell us the earth was flat. Keep up with science. It keeps changing. God's word doesn't.
I know good and well that God made the earh, but there are some contradictions here now in my life. My mom says the earth is around 2000-3000 years old, but my science teacher, Professor Hemsworth, says that it is in fact around 5 billion years old. I have read the bible many times but I just need a straight answer!
Sounds like you're looking for a larger discussion that just how old the earth is... I think we would want to start with whether anything can be known with certainty, and if so, how.

That was in answer to what wikipedia says. In truth it is an average opinion based on evolutionary calculations between many scientists. On a personal level, I find the 6000 years is where I would be happier with if placing bets.... It would be really amusing if when the Lord returns we were all to take a guess to the age of the earth and see who is the closest to the real age before He tells us!! Wouldn't that be fun! Winner gets some manna?

Yup! Clearly you don't know. Nor do you want to know. I took 15 seconds to look at your claim on 'roos only in Oz.
A. You're wrong.
B. I saw how they could have gotten there by map and already knowing how sea iguanas became a species in the Galapagos.
Sorry. You're 27 and capable of writing, so you are also capable of doing your own homework, if you want to learn something.
Not my job to teach those who don't want to learn.

Interesting as what I was taught in school was that a big bang happened by random chance and from that point onwards everything we see today came into being including stars and everything else. There have been many theories, though this is a new one to me as when we were taught it, it was a case of what I mentioned.
Some who are UFO enthusiasts believe there was no beginning to the universe and everything keeps recycling as in the random formation of life in various pockets of the universe when conditions present themselves. From my experience and walk with God this does not bear witness to me on a personal level.
