The claim hasn't been proven. Theory is theory.

They refute it... the earth is only about 6000, maybe 10000 years old. Many problems with carbon dating used on artifacts that get the age of millions of years. Many other problems too. ... Fact: the moon gets farther away from Earth each year (by a few inches) in 6000 years not a big problem, the moon would have still been in orbit After a few million years, the moon would have had to start on the surface of the planet!!

simple, scientists are wrong. They have been wrong before and will be wrong again. And not all scientists say that. A lot of scientists believe in creation. Why do people believe in "science" which can't save you? Only one person can save you and he wants to.
Scientists used to say that the world was flat. They used to say the sun rotated around the earth, and the new scientists are supposed to be smarter than all of them?

It's never stated in the Bible the exact time when God created the Universe, it very well might be some billions of years ago.
As for the casualness of the process, it's up to them to think only chaos created our world, because the ways of God are unknown and might appear as chaotic to humans when, in fact, behind that there is a wisdom superior to our own, which we cannot understand, therefor we classify it as chaotic.

One of the leading theologins said that the Earth was created somewhere in the time period of 5,000 BC or soemthing like that. The Church still supports his claims in face of the obvious evidence that it is wrong. They claim that the 'day' is simply a period of time and that 7,000 of our years can mean billions in that of the bible....ya - I don't get it either...but that's the best the John-Paul thought up

very simple. The Old Testament it is a metaphore,It is not a science book. Those 7 days for creation are a simbol that meens very many things but not 24 hours.

itr calls science evil, tries to kick it in the shi nand runs away to go pray.
the reality of the matter is that christianity cant touch science. all it can do is look for some sort of crack or hole that it can exploit and then quickly declare victory over it and then ignore it so it cant respond.

They are ignorant and rather than try to understand the big bang they feel that it is easier to simply say god did it.
and make referrences to the bible and claim that the bible is factual because it was influenced by god-- nothing more than circular reasoning

I dont see any a problem with that. God created the universe at the time it was created.
So where is the problem?
This is in all sky religions.
