You obviously don't have a clue of what substance produces light, so please do tell, what causes the surface of the sun to me burn into melted lava?

Exactly why the Big Bang banged remains unknown and is beyond our knowledge and experience. The only frame of reference we have is within the universe which evolved after the event.
Exactly, if the law of physics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, your own circular logic blows your theory right out of the water before there was even any water.

That may be, but Noah for example was 600 years old when the Flood took place.

Harrier has written evidence that they did live that long.

Not quite.

Isaiah 1:18

God made us in his image. He clearly reasons and gave us the capacity to reason.

The problem is that too many rely on their own understanding rather than observing what is plainly seen.

They fail to reason and thus cannot fathom God.

Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and animals and reptiles.

It is both truth and history, as well as a lot more.

The sun has no lava...lava is molten rock, but the sun is composed of gas, predominately hydrogen and helium, and has no solid surface. It's heat and light are produced by nuclear fusion...... Who doesn't have a clue?

Absurd. Again another example of a bible literalist putting aside reason a logic so their holy book can be infallible.

There is no example anywhere showing any complex life form like a mammal living to be even close to 600 years. Also,there is zero evidence for a global flood. There a hundreds of issues with the store as depicted in the Bible.

are you serious!!??

Clearly the holes in your education and understanding of the most basic science is far to large to fix on this message board. Try starting in fifth grade science and work your way up from there.

What do you have?
Why are you referring to yourself in the third person? It's very annoying and makes you seem more off the rails than normal.

It is called Illeism.... I've discovered that when people fib about themselves, they tend to use I and me less often than people who are being truthful. Instead, they'll speak about themselves in the third person, or anything to give themselves psychological distance from the lie.

When one says they believe that people lived to be 600 years old, or the earth is just a few thousand years old I think that subconsciously they know that they are telling a big stretcher.
