Heck, judging from the posts at this site, humans (for the most part) are still not writing anything intelligent.
Originally posted by Nicksten Historical text books is where it all begins.
The oldest ones apparently date back to around 3000 B.C. These books are proof that God does exist and are the oldest books for any type of religion. ....
Incorrect, if you mean Biblical writings. Do your homework before you post errant factoids such as this. They are not the oldest books for any type of religion and there are no Biblical documents today that are 5,000 years old.

Please READ what is typed. You're making your own assumptions on what I wrote. Part of my post clearly reads "The oldest ones apparently date back to around 3000 B.C." I never said it's FACT and said it apparently dates back 3000B.C. Even though I can't prove it, I believe it is true.

Probably the way badwater acts. They want to battle it out and see if they can win humans=2 and God=0. A bit childish of someone who can write big words like "factoids".

Well isn't that dumb? I mean, were you there 100000 years ago to know this for a fact or do you believe the text written in the evolution books? Oops sorry, dumb question. If the world is 4.6 billion years old, you're telling me that people did not need to write things down, especially for a period of almost 100000 years. So when did these people that existed found the need to record any information?
Come on? Seriously? It doesn't make any sense. Someone had to write it down "that for 100000 years we did need to record information". If over 100000 years no one made any notes on this, how can you prove this was even closely true? Makes you think hey?

You don't believe in evolution because noone was there witnessed it?
And yet you believe blindly in the creation, even though noone was there before Adam?

so the reason you are dismissing the earth being 4.6 billions of years is because nobody gave any written records since then?
write when? when the earth was an amorphous blob of super heated star leftovers? when it didn't have any oceans? how about when the biggest creature was a virus?
humans have a less than 100000 year history. and only when they settled down and became farmers did they find the need to record things. as in written. the paintings in the caves are much older than that.
