God wasnt speaking in literal terms when he spoke of creating the Earth in six days. The Earth was created over a period of millions of years. It took a long period of time to cool.
then God created Animals probably through a process of evolution then they finally evolved into the age of the dinosaur ending about 65 million years ago with Man being created by whatever means a hundred thousand years ago. Brothers and Sisters if we are to preserve our God we must preserve him in honesty and truth. Fighting reality is not the way to win converts. I have prayed about this statement for a week and I am convinced God wants me to come out on the side of truth. My faith in my Lord Jesus Christ has never wavered. In order to fight these redicelous assertions about Jesus bones we must fight with truth. God preserve us will anyone stand by me in prayer.

Anyone who goes farther into the original text understands this.
May is right. Christians believe we were created by God. Meaning a higher power with intent and purpose. Evolution does not agree or acknowledge this.

I stand by you. Agree with you. I just have a problem with Abrahamic religions devised to control the ignorant masses based on half truths and mythology. But God is another matter. God created evolution. God has a lot of time to do whatever is desired. Some say God is intelligence. Messing with evolution is messing with the work of God. But mankind is doing it. Messing with nature with dangerous, deadly results. We are within the category of great apes some say. We can talk and seem to have superior memories. We accelerated our evolution. The more we learned the more we learned and the more adept learners were rewarded. Breeders, warriors and brains accelerated naturally. Through God's evolution. That is the way God engineers his garden. We are one of God's creation but we are out of control. What would you do if there were too many wolves eating up your livestock? Or your child had a lifethrreatening infection. You would find a way to counteract this aberration. You would poison the wolves and kill the infection with medicine and surgery. Mankind is too dominant and has little morality outside the temples, pulpits and churchs and mosques. Man is a fearsome killer. Their bigger brains enable us to wipe out anything. Even themselves. What foolish animals we are. God will correct this aberration. Just another tribe of apes, really. Don't you think?

"I to fought it I fought it with all possible logic but when logic failed I had to concede.?"
Why did you try to figure with logic something that could only be discerned by faith? We don't have to fight these lies about Jesus tomb. We must only remain strong in faith believing in God period! I'm pretty sure I won't be getting into any arguments over this "tomb" thing. I believe God did raise Jesus from the dead and Jesus ascended onto the right hand of The Father. No half-wit baseless unbeliever (James Cameron) is going to change my mind on that fact!
Romans 24:11-13, 21, and 26-27
11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.
26"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
In the day's of wickedness just before Jesus returns many people will say they've discovered, found, or have located Jesus somewhere here on earth. Many people, including some Christians will be deceived because they have not studied God's word and don't know what’s coming. Many like this James Cameron will say "I've found Jesus here, or go there to see Him" but it will be all a hoax. In our world today love has indeed grown cold, there are disasters and wars unlike any we've seen in our history, and all kinds of people are coming out of the woodworks to try and disprove the existence of God and/or the divinity of Christ Jesus. It doesn't surprise me that there are so many haters of God, atheists, and "logical" (scientists/anthropologists) people out there who don't believe and instead of being tolerant, as they've so adamantly requested of Christians, they've decided to go on the attack. Jesus said these things would happen. My only encouragement to all Christians is to pray and STUDY AND KNOW GOD'S WORD so that you will be prepared for all the ungodly false prophets that are yet to rise up in these wicked days.

You are blessed for "Knowledge is a light which God casts into the hearts of whomsoever He wills."
May you continually partake are the limitless, unending, unrelenting, Grace of God, for all eternity to all eternity.
Honesty is indeed of God, and God deceives not except to catch the unsuspecting with the snare of His Love, by hidden, and mysterious ways.
Knowledge does increase love and awe at the majesty of God, and does not diminish it, as the less sincere claimants fear.
"O people! Fear God, and disbelieve not in Him Whose grace hath surrounded all things, Whose mercy hath pervaded the contingent world, and the sovereign potency of Whose Cause hath encompassed both your inner and your outer beings, both your beginning and your end. Stand ye in awe of the Lord, and be of them that act uprightly. Beware lest ye be accounted among those who allow the verses of their Lord to pass them by unheard and unrecognized; these, truly, are of the wayward."
(Baha'u'llah, The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, p. 40)

If you're on the side of truth, then you're barking up the wrong tree. Truth requires proof. And there is NO proof of the existence of your magic sky pixie. None.
Sorry to burst your bubble...

the Bible says 6 days...you either believe or you don't. you can't pick and choose which parts you believe. if you believe God is God, why do you think he couldn't and didn't do what He says he did. will you believe His word, or what you're told by humanist media? i WILL pray for you, that God will show you the truth, that He is who He says He is.

This is about the most logical thing I have ever seen a christian say.
You should start a new religion. I would convert to it.
