OK - without using "the bible" - because it's an obviously flawed document - I want someone to give evidence that supports Dinosaurs and Man living together and the fact that the earth is not billions of years old. The truth is you can't. And if you take the flawed "bible" out of it (if it's the word of god - and infallible - then how can it contantly contradict itself. yes - if weak minded people need it as a guide - that's fine. but to take it as fact - well - that is pure stupidity my friends.

Actually we can see 14 BILLION light years away. The Genesis account is commonly misinterpreted, especially by New Earth Evangelical Fundamentalists. The Hebrew word for day, Yom, can mean a 24 hour earth day, or a space of time, or era. The Bible also teaches that with God a day is as a 1000 years and a 1000 years is as a day, meaning God is timeless. 14 Billion years can seem like a blink of the eye to God. Part of the creation occured before the day and night earth day. It only makes sense then that God created all things in "God days" or in 6 Eras which easily could have been 14 or so billion years. Fundies say "Well yeah but God could have created the light photons as well as the stars so that we could see all the stars" etc. which makes no sense. Most of the stars cannot be seen with the naked eye and why would God create things like that or dinosaur bones just to place a stumbling block before us? There are even galaxies that have crashed into each other and the speed and direction proves beyond any doubt that this occured way way over the 10,000 year New Earth theories. I believe in the Creation, but not in false theories and misinterpretations of the Bible.

There is no scientific evidence concerning the age of the Earth. We can all take whatever we choose and use it to "prove" the age of the Earth, but in fact, science cannot answer that question.
Science cannot say what happens to a person when they die, either. Again, that is outside the real of scientific research.

There is nothing in the Bible to support the earth is only 6000 years old. Misunderstanding somewhere along the way.

I don't really know how old the earth is, and I don't care. The earth could have existed for millions of years before God said "Let there be light."

Yeah well the Big Bang theory kind of destroys the concept of naturalism.... So we are on equal footing I guess.

"The Bible doesn't teach how the heavens go, but how to go to heaven"
The Bible doesn't have a scientific purpose (not a science textbook), rather, it shows us how to attain salvation in Christ Jesus.
