Creationist often ask Evolutionist: What came first? Was it the Chicken or the Egg? The Evolutionist have no answer to this sensible question because there is no answer.
Creationist only have the correct answer to this question. The Holy Bible declares in Genesis 1:24 "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......and God saw that it was good. All animal life and the Creation of man was created by God on the sixth day of Creation.
Yes my friends they were created with the "Appearance of Age". There was no evolution in this process because a baby wouldn't be able to sustain itself without its mother and the reasonable mental development with which it could reasonably care for itself.
By the word of God the Universe, Earth and all Life came into existence. Absolutely. God is omnipotent, Eternal and all Wise.

You know, God COULD have done whatever "He" wanted. However, I think if you start insinuating that God made fossils have properties of something millions of years old, but not really that old, just to what, trick the scientists, or something??...then you're projecting onto God characteristics of scheming and conniving...do we really want to picture God as THAT sneaky?? Just b/c the Bible says "and the first day, blah blah, and the second day...and on the seventh day he rested", does not mean that that is LITERALLY what happened!! How long is a "day"? You do know that a "day" for us is simply how long the Earth takes to rotate one time...you think the creation of the Universe was really measured in Earth time?? Somehow I doubt it. Genesis is NOT a scientific nor even historic account...it is an allegorical, metaphorical representation that helps shed light (?) on our existence...but some fundamentalists get carried away thinking "every single word in the Bible (and WHICH Bible??) is absolute literal truth". When I read the Old Testament, I get VERY concerned: if God really and truly said and meant all the crazy things that went on, it sure makes God look petty, jealous, and waaay too human. The human authors wrote what the people at that time needed to hear, but not necessarily exactly what happened...I truly wonder what God thinks of some of those passages. Yes, creation WAS progressive; it WAS (I believe) initiated by a Creator whom I call God; it WAS done slowly over a very long time; and it DID include the progression of evolution, too...perhaps not exactly as Darwin supposed it, but evolution of some kind DID occur. We just need some new, more inclusive and far-reaching theories to explain it better. Peace.

the example with the chicken and egg is very silly, but this posting shows why creationism is not a science. Science tries to understand nature and to come up with explanations. Of course they work at the boundary of our understanding, and many questions are hard to answer or need more time (for example: Is there a Higgs particle? We won't know until we can do the right experiments).
Creationism in contrast does not try to understand or ask questions. The best answer, the only answer, they can give is: That's how God made it and that's just what it is. Period.
It's like Santa Claus' sled. When I heard about it the first time, I remember asking myself: How can a sled fly? When I asked, I was told "It's magical", or "Because it's Santa's sled". Might as well have said "It's voodoo". Totally unacceptable answers. Turns out, of course, it's all a phantasy (Sorry kids!). Same for creationism.

Easy turbo! Cool your jets a bit! I'm a catholic and I'm a firm believer in the Bible, but I think your taking it a little too literal. The Bible leaves its self open for interpretation. Granted, its rules are pretty cut and dry, but the different books kind of leave themselves open for the reader to form his own opinion, within the scope of the story, as to what is really being said. This hold true especially in Genesis as there was nobody there to witness the events. The Bible does say that man was created in his image, this is true. What people fail to realize is that the Bible never says what God himself looks like. To deny that evolution doesn't occur is just foolish. It's in our face, it's obvious, and it can't be denied. That doesn't mean the Bible is wrong or that "science" is completely right. When we use our brain and put the two together, science and God work hand in hand. In all reality, science itself proves the existence of God. Take for example science's explanation for the creation of the universe. Science states that two or more bodies of mass were forced together and the result of this happening was the creation of the universe. Sounds good on paper right? The problem here is where did the bodies of mass come from? What energy source forced the masses together to create this "explosion" that created the universe? It sounds to me like they just proved with that one theory of theirs that there has to be a higher being.
So in closing, don't be so fast to judge. Look at all the angles and opinions of others; weigh them against each other to for your own opinion as to what happened.
Use your brain. God gave it to you for a reason!

Ah *the light breaks" ... so God created fossils with the appearance of actually having once been living organisms and he spent time to lay down rock strata so that it not only appears to have formed over millions of years but that dating technologies would date them at millions of years. Not only that but light was created "in flight" so that we can see the stars that are thousands of light years away.....
Try this thought, given that there are different breeds of chickens and that "Rhode Island Reds" are a created breed, which came first the "Rhode Island Red" bred of chickens or their eggs?

What your unecessarily long nonsense response boils down to is...
God did everything by magic, so therefore it doesn't matter how things look. IT'S MAGIC! (yayyyy)
If you people would just come right out and say it like that, we wouldn't boggle at your lack of scientific understanding. We would just accept the fact that you're crazy and be done with it.

Good thing your God can do your thinking for you, because you suck at it.
It's nice to know that education is so effective. I love the fundies who appreciate modern convieniences afforded by science, but condemn anything that doesn't fit in with their little book. They give normal, modern Christians a bad name.
