Where is the link for the fake fossils dating millions of years old? The earth existed long before man, as we know him today ever inhabited it. The first chapter of Genesis says that at the beginning of time, God created heaven and earth. We don't know when that was. Earth was an empty waste and darkness hung over the deep. The earth was water covered until God caused the waters to recede. Who knows how old the earth is? More than the approximately 5,000 years since the existence of the first man, Adam that's for sure. There is no doubt that dinosaurs and other creatures existed on the earth millions of years ago. The fossils prove it. We also know something wiped them out totally. God seems to cleanse the earth with water (the flood of Noah). Is that what happened to the creatures that lived during the time of the dinosaurs? Many bible scholars seem to think there was more than one flood prior to the flood of Noah. The bible says God was sorry he ever made man. Looking at the mess we have in the world today, I believe it. One other thing is once when I was elk hunting in Colorado we found sea shells near the top of this one mountain. They crumbled when you picked them up. The rancher whose land we were hunting on said he had seen shells on top before too. How did they get there unless the water was that high at one time?
The first bottles of Coca Cola contained 3.5 grams of cocaine. That's how our grandparents were able to walk to school uphill both ways in the snow.

An interesting question: what do people think of the Bible’s prophecy that Israel would be reestablished? In the entire history of mankind no other nation has been completely destroyed and spread throughout the world and then showed back up again. What verse are you thinking of? Seems to me that already happened.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Seems to me that already happened. It already happened. They can be found in Isaiah 11:12, Jeremiah 30:1-38:22, Romans 11, and a few others. It’s things like that being correctly prophesied that make me wonder why people doubt the Bible. No other book in the world has ever come close to being that accurate in the past or, for then, future events.

I'd say that most of the translations, will get the job done; with the exception of "interpertations/translations" done by particular sects that introduce their bias (wacky) beliefs.
However, the most accurate manuscripts are the oldest ones, preferably in their original languages, such as Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic. Problem is, you first need to learn those languages to read them. Therefore, most of us settle for second best.

Who cares about any of this. You either believe or don't. I believe in a mud creek bank a cold beer and a pretty young woman that hasn't figured out I wear a touppee Some of us have inquiring minds that rarely quit asking questions...I can never decide if it's a good thing or not.

I've wondered if the anti christ is just one person or a personification symbolic of the anti christ presence that is always present in the world. I think Nero was one of the first anti Christ's.

Im confused. Ecclesiastes 1:4 says the earth will be here forever.

One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. Context, Ecclesiastes is not a book of prophecy, it is a book of wisdom. As such it is not laying out a theological or eschatological framework instead it is describing the learned wisdom of the "preacher in Jerusalem", aka Solomon. In this context Solomon is an old man approaching his own mortal end of life reflecting upon his own life of the pursuit of wisdom and he concludes thusly; vanities of vanities there is nothing new under the sun and the sum of all wisdom is the fear of God. In the case of the earth in this passage and the troubles of our time on earth, the earth was here long before and will be here long after we are but a footnote in history. BTW, Ecclesiastes is my favorite book of the Bible.
