I've never seen anyone work so hard to cram so much into so little.

(This was a 9 billion year long duration until the formless matter ofthe Earth appeared and gradually record the History of the Earth in these rock layers):



2.Hadean Era-Archaean Era/ = Second Day

3.Archaean Era-Proterozoic Era/ = Third Day

4.Proterozoic Era-Paleozoic Era/ = Fourth Day

5.Paleozoic Era-Mesozoic Era/ = Fifth Day

6.Mesozoic Era-Cenozoic Era/ = Six Day

7.Cenozoic Era-Common Era/ = Seventh Day
Were you intending to post just one of those, then accidentally posted both? Because if you want something to be the seven days of the bible, you'll have to pick just one.

The thing is that with the couple of sentences of genesis, it is easy to find a few hits in the very early stages of earth formation, while ignoring the misses of the totally wrong cosmology - day and night before there were heavenly bodies. I have explained that God would know, even if humans (who hadn't appeared yet) had their view obscured by clouds of toxic gas. Also I do find it hard to detect any correlation between your pretty era charts and Genesis.

At least we have shifted the dry land from Pangaea to the earlier Rodinia, and as my explanation showed, the eras afterwards don't really fit your genesis 'days'.

I suppose that I have to mention that I don't mind if you believe that genesis is literally correct. Presumably the idea is to convince me. So far your evidence would convince only believers who already firmly believed it, because it requires a lot of imaginative hits -counting and a huge amount of overlooking of 'misses'.

I'm listening to a study and wondering if there are any other young earth creationists who find people dismissing your beliefs and holding tightly to evolution like doctrine.
I think the only place they are teaching about evolution as the "origin of life" is in religious schools, as only theists believe that this is what evolution is about.

Third Day plant life
4.Proterozoic Era-Paleozoic Era/Pannotia, 600 m years ago. sea animals, fishes, reptiles, =
Fourth Day Sun and moon.
5.Paleozoic Era-Mesozoic Era/ Pangaea 300 m yrs ago).
So essentially what you would have us believe is that, for 300 million years, plants, fishes, reptiles, and sea animals existed with no sunlight?

For 300 million years, the climate remained absolutely stable despite the fact that there was no moon to stablize the earth's spin?

Let me guess. More god-magic?

Just read about an interesting study: Researchers analysed the DNA of weird, ancient microbes living all over the world. They live under extreme conditions several miles down under our feet and under the ocean floor, not moving at all, locked in place by the material surrounding them, totally sealed off from our world.
Their metabolism is so slow that they only reproduce every 500 years or so, by dividing, i.e. there is no genetic recombination like with sexual reproduction.

The amazing thing is, they are genetically basically the same all over the world. Researchers think that those microbes might be a key to solving early life on Earth as all those microbes around the world must have come from the same origin, long before there were continents etc.
