I'm talking about the concept that the book of Genesis is literally true, making the earth just a few thousand years old.

if so, (according to the bible). then why archaelogists discovered human fossils which are hundreds of thousands years before adan and eve? Will this prove that the bible is not completely true?

Ok say you actually successfully introduced a breathable atmosphere to Mars, what about the planets' lack of a magnetic field such as that found on Earth? Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't our planets' magnetic field help protect us from all kinds of cosmic-nasties, and so would terraforming Mars actually be a pointless endevour without a protective magnetic field being generated by the planet?

One of my friends INSISTS that the Earth is only 6000 years old and has never given me one fact to support his belief. If anybody can let me see some method to the madness it would be much appreciated.

Scientists have such imense fossil records, but not one of all of the millions of fossils show any true evolution. They can only guess what happened inbetween.
In school, they teach us that evolution is real, and only show us the facts that they want to. They dont show us all the unanswered questions that could be the true basis for why evolution isnt always right.

The thoery that life magically appeared is nonsense to me. Life cannot evolve from nothing or a bang somewhere in the universe nor can an imploding star create the never ending universe. How woudl it be possible for a single celled organism to create a brain or a heart or lungs and assign them a specific purpose! If there is no God then how did that organism get life? There is a God!

When I say studied, I mean documentation and books written by scientists who have actually studied evolution in a lab or in the field. Not school text books, they still cover embriology, which was a falsified study by Ernest Haeckel in 1969. In 1975 when he was brought up on criminal charges he admited he falsified his documents. Yet over 130 years later our children are still tought the garbage along with the rest of the evolutionary religion (which teaches that we are our own gods). The only truth in evolutionary theory is micro-evolution or (variations of kinds).

What’s your opinion as to these points?

Unfortunately, the human race is predisposed to failure. Here are just three of the reasons why.

1) The human race is predisposed to procrastination which means that we will never try to fix something until it's "in our face". Even then, it has to be "absolutely" proven that it is recognizably affecting our "quality of life" before we will act. For example, take the environmental situation. We still have people (generally for economic reasons) fighting the preponderance of scientific data that indicates we better do something to fix the environment. They seem to think that if they are justified in doing nothing as long as they can find "any little piece of data" which "may" indicate that global warming isn't occurring. Let me ask you this; is it better to act and later discover that the situation was not as "dire" as we suspected or to do nothing and later discover that it's too late to fix???

2) We are naturally territorial (yes, like many other creatures). The problem is that the "sticks & stones" (which were replaced by fire, spears, arrows, gunpowder, etc.) we used to kill the challengers to "our territory" in the beginning have evolved into biological and nuclear weapons with the capability to poison the planet. By the way, how does territory get "claimed" anyway? I mean, at some point in the past nobody "owned" any property but now we all think we have the right to "own" that which was never "BOUGHT". BTW, yes, I "own" land and a house but I still stand by my point that neither the former owner nor I actually ever have had or currently have the rights to buy and sell it.

3) We have worldwide leadership that for the most part is either ignorant or indifferent to the truth (or, in the case of the U.S., BOTH). Without leadership, we will never make any headway and, regrettably, I believe that there are too many governments that are more concerned with either staying ahead of or catching up to, everyone else and are willing to accept the consequences of future problems in order reap the "rewards" of today.

Maybe, if we get lucky, we’ll get a “mini” version of the movie “The day after tomorrow” that will force the world into action. Unfortunately, according to the director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, James Hansen (as well as many other scientists), we have 10 or less yrs to turn it around and I don’t think we will. That’s why my wife and I have decided not to bring another life into a world that has more of a negative outlook now than it ever has. Enjoy life and live for the now because too many governments, and many corporations, are steadfast in their path to destroying the future.

It seems to me that oil reserves are defined by political boundries. Wouldn't it be possible to go across borders and harvest the oil reserves of other countries. Given the price of crude, this would make a possibly very expensive endeavor seem less prohibitive.
