    How old is our creation really?

    That’s the first problem. You are trying to discuss something that you don’t understand. I suggest reading a few things on transitional species first and learning what it is and how many their are.

    How old is our creation really?

    Yes. Humans evolved from a common ancestors and if you keep tracing that backwards it reaches fish and single cell species. The fish linage we came from was a species of Tiktaalik and before that a type of jawed fish. If humans and dinosaurs ( dragons ) interacted together we would have...

    How old is our creation really?

    I’ve answered that dozens of times already. Let’s try this. What do you believe is a transitional form? When you hear that word, what’s the image that comes to mind. I think the first issue is that many don’t know what a transitional form is. They believe it’s like a half half ape human or...

    So did neanderthals. They made art also. We don’t typically do genetics on fossils unless they are found preserved in ive and within several hundred thousand years. But what we can do is run tests on current genes and see what mutations they have verses others in their family and see what...

    How old is our creation really?

    We do see a continual evolution in the record. Many though don’t know what that means. They believe that it means all species evolve. Some don’t change for millions of years dramatically at all. There had been various supercontinents and break ups.

    How old is our creation really?

    Here is the issue. Those pictures prove absolutely nothing. What does prove something is the morphological record showing distinct differences between them, just like sharks and dolphins are similar but very different at the same time. Then we can move to where the most noticeable differences...

    How old is our creation really?

    I agree. There is no half and half intermediate species in that sense. There is 99.99% a and 99.99%b and 99.99%c and 99.99%d of the same species all having offspring together creating 99.98a and 00.01b and so on. My point is that Neanderthals, Sapiens and Denisovan are all humans. They are all...

    How old is our creation really?

    The issue though is that in each geological layer we see different sizes and masses. It’s not just large creatures at the top or bottom, but small ones and large ones ranging from flora and fauna. It’s also the issue that sediments are not based on weight either. We find different layers with...

    You did not quote them though. You quoted something called science alert and a google image of some newspaper. Credible sources are scientific journals if it’s a concept that’s not well known or highly debated.

    How old is our creation really?

    Earth can definitely not hold A population of 70 billions just fine. We are only at 7 billion now at best and it’s causing a lot of problems. I grew up without internet just fine. I got my first smartphone in 2014 in a 20s. I hike over 40 miles a week easily and sometimes almost double that. I...

    How old is our creation really?

    We are not looking for current life as much as looking for fossilized life on Mars. We also have a pretty good understanding of many of the fauna extinctions. The problem arises because of debates on which one of the several things caused one another. Was the asian volcanoes exploding ash...

    How old is our creation really?

    Im not sure what you’re trying to share? You quoted my question about neanderthals with pictures of people. Those people are not neanderthals. Those men will have the same number of chromosomes as us while all Neanderthals had different ones. Yet they were able to hybridize with sapiens. Much...

    How old is our creation really?

    Nothing you shared is even from a credible source lol. Neanderthals were humans , Homo neanderthalensis. We’re they humans or were they highly intelligent apes that used tools, language, and created art? If they were humans why do they have different chromosomes than us, the H. Sapiens?

    How old is our creation really?

    The biggest difference is not the supernatural. I believe in the supernatural that defies laws of science. The biggest issue is contextual analysis.

    While researching this as individuals I also suggest emailing an astronomy professor or scientist and asking them some questions about this.

    How old is our creation really?

    For me nothing in genesis 1-2 is relevant to science. It’s there for only theological purposes setting up future patterns for the Jewish people. It’s not scientifically focused at all. “Let their be” is not the same as the Big Bang. Moses was setting up the Bible with the purpose that they were...

    Hola! 😃

    It’s definitely sad. I’m glad you have your two. I still have two as well. I dread it too. I thought I already responded but did not see it. It almost makes me want to just get a parrot or turtle lol. But I like being able to snuggle with a cat or dog. Warm soft little furry buddies seem...

    How old is our creation really?

    You keep bringing up things already answered. 1. You keep bringing it up as if I don’t trust the Bible. I trust scripture 100%. That’s not the issue here. The issue here is not trusting scripture. The issue here is recognizing a myth vs a literal interpretation. Is revelation literal? Is the...

    How old is our creation really?

    Secondly you have to understand ancient world views vs modern world views and knowledge. Paul says the gospel has already been heard by every creature under heaven and to the ends of the earth. Yet we know in his time the gospel did not reach Native American tribes. It’s common knowledge that...
