The Omphalos Hypothesis states that God created the Earth recently, but made it look old. There aren't any observations that would confirm or falsify the hypothesis.

So why do Young Earth Creationists so readily accept it, and reject the Theory of Evolution, which is based on observations?

Matthew 10:33 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."

So, since Peter denied Jesus 3 times, Jesus denied him to God, right?

I'm curious about how you react to scientific articles such as these: http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20071226/sc_livescience/modernbeetlespredatedinosaurs

Do you just ignore it, or shake your heads in disbelief and disgust about how absurd it all is?

Are the scientists who believe that evolutionary forces took place over hundreds of millions, and even billions of years, all delusional? Are they doing the "devil's work?" Are those who listen to and accept what evolutionary scientists say just being duped? Are the scientists and their followers going to hell because of it?

Jesus, throughout the Gospels, instituted the Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion) for our benefit, stating "This is my Body and this is my Blood." He didn't say this is a symbol of my Body and Blood, but this IS my Body and Blood. John 6:53 states ".....unless you eat the flesh of the son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life within you." Jesus lost many followers that day because of the reality of this message, which is to be taken very literally. We also know that the early Christians were persecuted for being alleged cannibals. Now why would this be unless they believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, which can only be transubstantiated through the ministry of a priest through the words of consecration.

So, I would like to know why you do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ within the Eucharist. It is plain to see that Jesus instituted this Sacrament and it's importance. What is your interpretation of such obvious Scripture?

we have seen stars in every stage and know that it typically takes hundreds of millions to billions of years (depending on the star's mass) to go from one stage to another.

If you do, are you being hypocritical? Don't you know the new year is based on the ancient Julian calendar (and susequent Gregorian calendar) and January is named for the pagan God Janus?

There are enough evidence to support the notion, that an individual can live a happy, moral, fullfilling and constructive life without the use of religion, so what is it that keeps people to choose to be living through the guidelines of a religion?

Paul wrote most of the New Testament and had much to say on many topics involving Christianity in the Church. One dogma he did not seem to write about or maybe even agree with is the concept of the Trinity. He never refers to Jesus as being God and he refers to Jesus being born of a woman, not a virgin. Is it significant that Paul never mentioned the Trinity in all of his writings?

Well of course not because you can't examine all of them. All we can say is that we have never found 2 that were exactly alike. So it's a theory. All the data suggests that no 2 are alike. If we ever find 2 that are exactly alike - just one pair in all the snowflakes ever seen - the theory is shot, but so far it hasn't been.

So the real question is this: does this help to explain what a theory actually is and how it gets disproven?

We have inherited this ring from a relative who died. I want to get rid of it, but i dont know if it would be ok to trade it in at a jeweler or have it melted down or how can i destroy it and then get the value. Or is the proper thing to do is to destroy it and throw it away. I am a born again christian. I want to do the right thing.
Thanks
