Then how do you explain dinosaurs? Also carbon dating that proves the world is millions of years old?

The mere fact that we can detect celestial objects more than 10 billion light years away, means that the universe has to be at least that old, or else the light wouldn't have even had time to reach us.

Answer me this:
Why when a fossil is carbon dated (YOUR CHOICE), that one part of the fossil can be off by thousands of years from another part of the same dinosaur?
When they perfect the carbon-dating system, then I will listen. And what of the footprints of dinosaurs and mankind being along the same footpath? Glen Rose, Texas.
How also is it impossible for any form of evolutionary development of the giraffe is impossible? No creature could have "developed" over time to create the animal due to it's complicated spinal design?

Oh yes as one of those answering suggested, this honest true God attempted to deceive us by putting bones of no existent creatures in the ground so we would think they were old, come on. Remember people the bible wasn't even written while Christ was alive and not even within the next decade. AND the bible wasn't even put together until the 1500's and then it was a combination of the Jews and the Catholics that decided which book was going to be in it. THAT'S RIGHT not all books went into the bible. They decided to leave out some of them. Do you THINK that maybe they might have made some of what they did put into it up? HUH HUH THINK!!!

I think you only speak of SOME Christians, and not all.
I believe that it's entirely possible that the creation of the Earth took several eons. It's also possible that "eons" was a term that our ancestors would not have understood. Is it also possible that maybe the "dust" used to create Adam wasn't actually dust, but atoms?
Also, many Christians believe in both dinosaurs and evolution. I'm one of them, thank you.
Perhaps it would serve you well to stop judging Christians.
If it isn't the religion for you, it isn't the religion for you.
I'm not going to call YOU a lunatic for your beliefs, or lack thereof. I will say this though: I hope you're right, for your sake.

Since YOU brought up carbon dating...
Radiocarbon dating is based upon an unprovable assumption, i.e., that the measured deterioration rate of certain radiocarbon isotopes absorbed from the atmosphere is in a consistent and therefore measurable rate of deterioration.
What is assumed though, is that the atmospheric conditions of the earth have been unchanged throughout earth's existence.
It just ain't necessarily so.
Dinosaur-like creatures are described in our merely 6,000 year old book. Job 41
Pick up a copy.

As a Christian I would explain this way.
Earth was a planet made for life or to live. (some Bible verse says that I don't remember it now).
Even before the creation of this present world there had been another world in this planet.
God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind...
Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life...
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
This is the clue that once God had made all these things millions of years before.
But the case of man it was different. he framed man for the first time.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Dinosaurs might had been here long back may be in the previous worlds and up to the Flood of Noah period.

The Bible does not say that the world is 6000 years old. Nice straw dog though. Looks a bit rabid.

It is obvious you has not seriously studied the other side but use this as a forum to release your pent up anger and hatred for Christianity.
The greatest threat to the world at this moment are from goofball Muslims and an atheistic communist country yet people such as you still consider Christianity as the threat to the world. Go figure.

The earth is indeed millions, maybe billions of years old. We don't know how much time spans between Gen. 1:1 and verse 2

I'm surprised someone hasn't tried the old "carbon dating is bogus" line. You have no idea how many people actually think that. There are Christians in the field of paleontology who are besides themselves with embarrassment at these absurdities.
