the same people that say the Bible is just a book written by a bunch of monks are the people who learned these scientific facts in science text books written by a bunch of scientists who have no more credibility than the people that wrote the Bible.

Of course it isn't 100% or flawless but it is miles closer to 100% flawlessness than the YEC's theory. Therefore I will believe the current scientific findings until something more credible comes along. Which is highly unlikely.

blind faith is more satisfying than a lack of reason? blind faith destroys reason

Faith is far more satisfying than a lack of reason and purpose of life. Have fun reading your scientific studies. Just ask yourself why would a characteristic such as emotion be evolved if it had no higher purpose?TheBigTicket21

out of curiousity how old are you? If you are older than15 i might drop dead. I can explain the whole emotion thing if you want im an anthro major currently. I have a feeling you won't listen though :?

there are some confuding ones like that feeling of connecting with god, or any higher force. well the thing is humans became so smart so fast that we couldnt even handle our own mind, so we were able to feel depressed alot more rather than just simply being happy. we question greater things than a dog for example.

Soo, people who can feel that connection with a higher force (meditating praying) not only were less worried about bigger questions, but that positive emotion (as studied in meditation) acually changes how people think into a more positive way, makes the mind more likely to think happy thoughts.

thats just one i'd think you'd be interested in. if there are ther ones you want to know about just ask

No, the Bible does not state that the Earth is 6000 years old.

Of course I believe the Bible.

Def_Jef88

So how old do you think the Earth is?

~4 Billion years.

None taken.

But I must ask: Why do you think it's funny?

without humans Earth would be ok until the Sun expired.

We pollute the planet thus reducing how much longer it has to live

WOAH!

ok first of all, no duh the Bible doesnt just plain say that the earth (and universe) is only 6000 years old. Why? Because that would make the Bible dated, elimating its purpose.

Two. If anyone actually DID read their Bible they would know that i tcontains the complete family line from Adam all the way to Jesus which (what scholars have calculated) is about 4000 years. We all know Jesus lived 2000 years ago. Do the math. To call yourself a Christian and believe the earth is millions or billions of years old is either ignorance or straight blasphemy(a sin). And it is because of this ignorance or "need to fit in with the evolutionists" that Christianity has earned such a terrible name. Why is it sohard for REAL Christians to defend their faith? Because they dont kno how, because 1. religion is not taught in almost all public schools 2. They don't read their Bible because we live in a world that is slowly despising us more and more which makes learning apologetics very difficult
