Oh, please you came here talking about all of this research you had, and you only posted a site.

LIke I said if you want to do site for site, then we can, opinion for opinion than we can do that also, but you said research, but you, haven't provided your research. So, if you are going to argue research for research then do that, and stop with your prove me wrong when you haven't provided anything. LOL

Christians won't address the topic. They have only the belief, nothing more.

What is your problem? I wasn't addressing you...I'm done with you because all you give me is a headache with your nonsensical responses.

I know your done, because you don't have the research that you said that you had. LOL, it kind of clever now you want to just not debate what you said that you had in the first place.

I'm giving you a headache because you don't have what you claimed you had, and I just called you out on it.

But that's fine, I'm done with this dead in conversation anyway.

Just for future reference, when you say that you have research, make sure that you do, not just hot air.

This is what real research is all about.
  1. Define the question
  2. Gather information and resources
  3. Form hypothesis
  4. Perform experiment and collect data
  5. Analyze data
  6. Interpret data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypotheses
  7. Publish results
LOL, now your not addressing me, but you was addressing me before when you said you had research.

Bye for now, but I'm sure you will pop up again!!!!!!!

It doesn't say how long it was between Him creating them, and then the work He did on the earth. The earth could have sat void for millions of years.


I don't know. I've given my answer.
This just doesn't make sense.

So God created the world 6000 years ago, to already be at an old age.....

So how do you explain dinosaur fossils?

How do you explain scientific data that humans existed on earth as far back as 10,000 years ago?

How do you explain the age of the sun in our solar system?

Are you saying that God created these things 6000 years ago, somehow giving them a past in non-linear time???

Where do other planets and solar sytems come into play? When do you think that God created extraterrestrial life?

You are definitely stretching things here. You want to believe that this theory is reasonable, but it's really, really pushing the limits of what is reasonable.

I agree. It's obvious that they do not want to learn or know anything that conflicts with what they believe, not even the origins and history of the bible...The bible is the truth because it says so in the bible....Round and round we go.

The bible began with the compilation of Genesis and the writing of exodus, lev. numb. and Duet. by Moses/Joshua.

The text for the compilation of Gen. probably originates from God/Adam with each successive generation adding its own history. The were held by Shem(Melchizadek) and a copy given to Abraham. Jacob took a copy when he went down into egypt and Joseph put a copy in the Egyptian libraries. Moses who was son of Pharoh took a copy with him when he exodused with the Isrealites. So, the text is of the history of man as long as man was on the earth. So to say it began being written 6000 years ago might seem more appropriate.
Research to back up these assertions please.

Oh, Sanspeur I'm trying to address the topic how you presented it. So, this is lack on your part, maybe better luck next time.

Wow! This is a new spin! Congratulations on contorting the bible into science!

This is fitting a square peg into a round hole!

God played a few tricks here just to keep us guessing or to test our faith?
