I fell off once but I grabbed the edge and pulled myself back up. I looked down for a moment and saw a Viking ship.

Testing Him never seems to go well however I don’t believe it detrimental asking for proof or confirmation. Doesn’t mean we’ll get it but sometimes……..

Can any one of you prove to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that the earth is not younger than 6-7K years old?
I know crickets, the same as I cannot prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that life on earth is not billions years old.

The truth lies in the bones and the fossils that we can all see. I for one used to believe Dino bones were 65 million years old. I don’t any more.

So......

How old are the dinosaurs?

What happened to the dinosaurs?

Did dinosaurs and man live during same time period on Earth?

When was the last ice age?

How long does it take a large meteor strike/volcano/massive earthquake to weather/age to a point that it is not recognizable as such?

What happened to the Pleistocene flora and fauna...especially all them big critters?

When exactly was the Paleo time period?

How did man get to where we are today thru all of the above? In 6000 years?

6000 years is a very very long time. Enough time to carve canyons and create great hundred feet deposits elsewhere, enough time to flood weather the Sphynx, enough time to put sedimentary rock on the heads of Easter island, and enough time to alter watercourses.

I will answer your questions because it is all very simple.

1. I don’t know how old the Dino’s are. All I know is that they are dead, and thus post-flood.
2. See above statement.
3. I think Noah probably lived with some rough customers, perhaps Dino’s too.
4. Academia tells us the last ice age was ~10K years ago. Do you believe it?
5. I don’t know about the weathering, I guess it would depend.
6. Do you believe everything science tells you is truth? Perhaps the Pleistocene fauna are no older than the dino bones…,.there’s experiments to be had there, but the academics won’t touch it. They call folks like me crazy!
7. Time is a luxury of man. Bones speak for themselves.
8. I no longer belittle my mind with petty simple things like evolution. We live in a far more supernatural and awesome amazing dimensional world and universe.

Here’s a question for you.
Who is the god of this world? Is modern day Gov involved academia truth seeking or intentionally deceiving? Is he he the ruler of deception and manipulation? Even the most brilliant minds sometimes can’t see the forest for all the trees.

The a
Appalachians are much older. They are the eroded base of a mountain range that at one time was much higher. On the other hand the Rocky mountains, the Cascade Mountains, and the Olympic Mountains are still growing, and are younger than the Appalachians.

We all sometimes think that with our present knowledge we have it right. The Jews was big on keeping their lineage all in order. At one time they thought that woman was just an incubator for mans seed. Some where someone started seeing that a boy maybe had his mothers eyes or maybe a girl resembled her father. Philosophers of old has turned into our modern day scientists. The Babylonians seemed to excel in math and medicines and even the Jews had their ideas which at times was as screwed up as the Babylonians ideas about the order of things. Here is a example of some of their ideas on how the world functions which makes me wonder if some of our science that seems so right might make us feel awkward in the future.

God is the creator of this world. And as you stated time, as we see it, is a luxury of man.

I believe this, so I'll post it again....

Swamp Wolf, are his creatures finite? Or just the bodies of his earthly creatures? Seems like angels, except for the angels he told would "die like man" in Psalm 82, exist in infinity. And it seems like our spirits are infinitely going to exist either in Heaven or (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman).

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

We do have limits or bounds. Even our souls.....no matter where eternity finds us.

Agree.

Adam is mentioned littleraly in Christ genealogy and in other New testament passages.
Or did God breath the breath of life into an ape and it eventually changed dna and became man?

The context when Adam and Eve are mentioned in the Bible is as GS mentioned is quite literal in pretty much every case so I would assume those of you that think it's taken to literal are basing it off some other evidence than the Bible?

For me the integrity of the Adam account is greatly supported by the rib thing. I don't think the writer even in Moses time or even the redacted account up to 400B.C. would have had the knowledge that a rib would regenerate itself without being inspired by God to write such an account.
