Answer 1

Thank you!!! Oh my god these are GREAT!
The one about evolution is hysterical... he only focuses on the bits that even science has written off as hoaxes... they aren't even part of the theory any more but somehow because they were there once proves it's wrong?! LOL. And i love how he uses only 3 examples of hoaxes to counter an entire body of evidence across every field of biology and archeology. He says something to the effect of "they want so much to believe in this that they start to see things that aren't there" Isn't that just what HE's doing?

Great stuff.

Answer 2

I don't believe in the creation story because it is part of my religion, I believe it because it makes the most sense.

There are many theories that try to disprove a young earth. However, adding up all the principles that are known, we cannot be living on an earth that is billions of years old.

Laugh all you like, but, the evidence on this website has been around for nearly 40 yrs. By the way, it has NEVER been challenged!

Here is science describing a young earth:

Answer 3

Interesting. Who is he?

Does give one to think.
I have never held to the idea of earth 6K yr old.
but could it be under a billion?

Much of what he says is right, but I think he has pressed it to the extreme.
for the space stuff, a simple program would show that he is right (large objects close to each other tend to gather in clumps over time) [ the rings should have been more solid streams]
The magnetic poles tho, change polarity north becomes south so the strength would be hard to pin down.
There is too much wrong with his statements that the amount that is right might as well be tossed as well.

Answer 4

Bishop Ussher pegs it at 4004 BC and that the earth with die at 4004 AD

John Lightfoot, a distinguished Greek scholar and Vice Chancellor of Cambridge University who got very specific and said that the moment of creation was 9:00 AM, September 17th , 3928 BC

Answer 5

I do not have any need to see the video. I know many Christians who believe that the Earth is only a few thousand years old. I, however, am not one of them. I believe that it is entirely possible that the Earth is a few million years old. God perhaps created the Earth in six days of ITS time, it does not mean that It created the Earth in six days of OUR time. Makes sense to me.

Answer 6

6 days

Answer 7

There are young earth and old earth creationists. I happen to be an old earth type. This backs the current scientific information. But no one has it totally figured out yet. I used to believe in the young earth, but not anymore. But no matter, I believe that Jesus is the creator.

Answer 8

nicely I under no circumstances heard approximately or examine how outdated the international is interior the bible. Its been a query how absolutely everyone ought to declare how outdated it is. Time means no longer something for God who understand how long it took. it says he made it in seven days. yet whats an afternoon to God? The Genealogies only tell how long the folk stay in bible stay. human beings have been Gods particular creation and have been created lots later than his different creations.

Answer 9

I don't have to watch the tape

Jesus lived to be about 33.5 yrs of age and it has been 2000 yrs since his crucifixion.

You do the math

Answer 10

FROM THE TIME ALL IS LOST IN EDEN UNTIL ALL IS SAVED IN THE 1000 YEAR REIGN OF CHRIST TO BE PERFECT IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD THE WHOLE TIME WILL BE 7,130 YEARS, SO SATAN HAS 6,130 YEARS FROM EDEN TO CHRIST REIGN.
