i mean surly if science is wrong about the age of the planet and evolution you cant be very confident that every thing else science has to say is correct right. so if science is wrong about 1 thing then surly religious people are a lil weary about believing anything else that is suposedly scientific fact. and then what do they do they dont have a book to reference.

They only challenge it where it interferes with what they believe. Where it doesn't, they have no problem with it.

Hmmm, you kinda got that backwards. Science has proven the age of the planet and has also proven that evolution has happened in animals, birds, insects etc. Still working on man however, but is close.
Religion, however has never ever proven a thing. Religious people will however never believe anything science says because it conflicts with their god and jesus stories. That's right, story's. Nothing in the bible can be proven. In fact, science is disproving the bible. That is why fundies are crying and saying science is not true , evil, etc. Because it is disproving religion and people are slowly realizing what fools they were to believe that religion BS in the first place. Remember the only people who believe in the bible are the over the top religious types. They bring out that little books of lies and quote it every time there is a debate. It has been proven over and over again to be false, contradicting, and generally full of lies and untruths. It is sad that some people still cling to it like a security blanket because they are too afraid to face the real world and the truth. Hench the fundies favourite saying. It must be true, it's in the bible. Poor pathetic ignoramuses.

Science is not wrong about the age of the earth. It's just that there are many stupid, so called christians that don't read or miss read the Bible, and for what ever reason, think that the earth is only six thousands years old. However my Bible let's me know that the earth is much older that 6000 years. Therefore it is only the unlearned religious people that are stupid enough to disagree with science that the earth might be billions of years old. However since My Bible does relay to me that the earth is old, old, old, I will continue to believe that their must be a creator. A creator that knew all this, when he had Moses to began writting the Bible. A creator that say's in his word that the Germans plus nine other European nations are going to come to the U.S. and take us out. And prior to that, very soon now this nation will go into a depression greater than the great depression. Be at ease, I believe the Bible and science is correct about the earths age.

Well, science (evolution) is like logic in that it says, "The world is billions of years old, therefore this thing must be correct." Their statement is built upon a false assumption. If their assumption (age of the world), proves to be correct, then their logic is correct. But you can also get a true result from a faulty assumption.

The thing is, as a Christian I believe the world was created only 6000 years ago (give or take a few). So, there are plenty of things science tells me that will agree with my worldview, and I'm fine with that. But if someone tells me that apes are our ancestors, then I'm not going to believe that.

Science also includes Chemistry, Biology, and such things. Are you telling me those are wrong? Those things (most of the time), don't matter with how old the earth is.

Religious people believe God can do anything, including creating an Earth that appears to be billions of years old. They also may believe Satan has the power to make it appear this way. Just because something appears to be a certain way doesn't make it so. when things are thousands of years old, we don't know that they behave in an identical manner to when they are 3 minutes old. Religious people feel that man can't be, and man isn't as smart as he thinks he is. Believers feel that science was made for man to understand the way Earth works, and utilize it to their advantage, the same as math. This is my disjointed opinion.

i'm non secular and Christian, and that i do no longer dispute technological know-how. i'm Christian, and theist, yet the two are not truly appropriate, in case you realize me. Like Peter Lipton replaced right into a non secular atheist, i'm a non secular theist. besides, no Christians i know, it truly is a lot, dispute evolution, it truly is basically the loopy ones (regrettably the loopy ones certainly tend to make greater noise, so Christians get slightly a attractiveness)

I'm a believer and I DO NOT believe the earth is literally six-thousand years-old. That is literal absurdism. There is a word in Ch2 of Genesis that PROVES the earth is unfathombly older than any of us can imagine. That word is "Toledoth", which, when translated, means "vast generations of time". It's all there in front of them. So many people do so little research on words and phrases. If they did, their belief in God would grow by leaps and bounds. With that, here's another word out of Genesis that describes the "great lizards"- tzsinzim- the dinosaurs. Check it out.

I am only wary of science which parades itself as fact without evidence, especially when the "fact" undermines biblical truth. Evolution is not scientific fact, nor is the "big bang" theory. These are attempts at explaining origins. Science currently speaks as if these things are beyond all shadow of a doubt, and in fact makes efforts so squelch dissent. There are, in fact, other plausible explanations for our origins.

Anybody who believes the world is 6000 years old deserves to be hanged. Ignorance like that is unforgiveable.

Only if creationists rejected medical science, that would be some thing to look forward to.

Science actually proves creation. Read Lee Strobel.
