With the discovery of fossils that are millions of years old, how do those mis-guided Christian zealots respond? When will they realise that the religious doctrine they have been brainwashed with is an inverted pyramid of piffle?

Carol M - I imagine if you heard someone ask the question I did, you'd put your fingers in your ears and loudly say "LALALALALALALALALALALALALA NOT LISTENING LALALALALALALA"

Fossil's are a test of faith? Ha that's laughable. Why would their god try to trick or decieve them? I feel a little sorry for them really. Wasted lives.

They argue that dating methods are all flawed, every one of them. Isn't that convenient?

To be a Christian you do not have to believe that the earth is 6,000 years old. A Christian is someone who simply accepts the Sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as a ransom for his/her sins by God the Father. The age of the earth is not in any way an important religious doctrine. And as someone else mentioned, the Bible speaks of many different animals (including dinosaurs but it is called behemoth as the word dinosaur did not exist at the time). So dig away, fossils are sweet.

No- Here's the deal what I heard an actual Christian say. God put those fossils and other things that make the earth look millions of years old to "test our faith". OK.
So that makes God a practical joker right? With a real strange sense of humor?
Well I had my doubts about this "God" person ever since I encountered mosquitoes but that's how they explain it.
Really.

By using the term 'zealot', you are already showing that you are biased. Fossils definitely disprove evolution. For some creature to become fossils woulld require a instantaneous event to happen, which would bury them immediately and preserve them....the flood of the bible does this, as all life , except for Noah and his family ceased to exist. If, for example, a fish died and fell to the bottom of the sea, or died on some rock, it would require many years of no interference, for fossilization to occur...now this could not happen because the fish would rot,or more likely, would be eaten by scavengers. Evolution is a theory based on believing something that cannot be proven, whereas, God has left us a record which cannot be disproven, as it is also a Historical document.

What is so wrong about fossils? The bible speaks of large animals that were on earth after creation, Christians know they existed and have no problem with them. How about a theory that contradicts pysical laws (2nd law of Thermodynamics) and has never been proven?

Who can know the mind of a fundamentalist?
They probably think that scientists are smudging the facts a bit to get a million years. Christians seem to think that Science is evil and anti-Christian.

They consider them....and all science.....to be part of a great liberal conspiracy.
