How many museums keep their doors open without someone helping
them foot the bill?

It would be funny if it weren't so frightening. There are tens of thousands of people who literally believe that junk and who desperately want you to believe it too. It's just unfathomable.

I wear a trilobite fossil as a necklace; works like a cross against vampires to ward off these "scholars".

the website furnishes "answers" (cough, cough, muttering) to all your questions. prepare for a lot of 'Pre-Flood' and 'Post-Flood' discussion:

what a waste of bandwidth that site is.

that is billions of years.

That's equivalent to saying the only thing the doesn't fit into the young earth model is that the earth aint young.

actually KJ, my question was prodding and rhetorical in nature. i have read about how young earth creationists think the dinosaurs fit into their model; and their ideas seem like complete garbage to me and many others. assuming they actually believe in their claims, i think it demonstrates that people will make themselves believe just about anything in order to cling desperately to assumptions they hold dear. dj2 is always talking about how scientific evidence may be misconstrued to fit 'presuppositions'. indeed, the lad is probably right but in an ironic way...it's a shame he hasn't figured out yet which side shovels the BS when it comes to interpreting the scientific evidence.

no. the honest scientific efforts of many, many smart people do not fit into the young earth model, for example. if you don't know this, you should read more.

I heard a theory once about this, that sounds as reasonable as most others, I suppose. It go's like this....

Gen 1:1-2
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
(KJV)

Since there is no aramaic word for "was" (verse 2) it is said that the more accurate translation is "became". So the theory is that eons could have passed between verse 1 and 2.

God's original creation was perfect, then somehow it was corrupted. During this time is when there was rebellion in heaven and Lucfer was cast down,... the whole satan thing, then satan corrupted what God had made on earth. He supposedly tampered with genetics, etc., thus the dinasours.

here's more likely source for the Day thing.

15. "At the beginning of the month, when thou shinest upon the land,

16. "Thou commandest the horns to determine six days,

17. "And on the seventh day to [divide] the crown.

that's translated from a semitic language , Akkadian.

"...believe just about anything in order to cling desperately to assumptions they hold dear."

I agree, people do that.

Everytime you post my opinion of you decreases. I don't know how much more it can.

Only because I disagree with you on the formation of the earth and life. Perhaps we can focus on our good points.
