I was a leader in VBS this year at my church. We did the 7 c's of History... Creation, corruption, catastrophe,confusion, Christ and the Cross, Consummation. It was really interesting.
I was wondering how many Christians believed that the earth is indeed only 6,000 years old and that God made the dinosaurs when he made man.? We taught that Noah had dinosaurs on the ark with him. They had scientific evidence, facts about fossils. Ken Ham's group recorded it and it will be shown all over the world. Did you know that they recently found dinosaurs bones that still had blood cells and tissue in it? Interesting huh?
I was raised to believe in the"gap" theory. this is all new information for me to be honest but I am being really open to it. Any thoughts?
Why not, I guess, how can you believe he would not ? He is called the prince of this world, he has all the power of the angels, Why could he not take some bones of some animals and move and set them them orders. Perhaps even made them from other bones and the such just to decieve mankind.
And of course I did not say it was a populare beleif, but scinece has little understanding, carbon dating has been shown several times not to be as reliable as people are lead to beleive. O2 dating has shown better promice.
And even at carbon dating, it is assuming carbon at some max level, going down, if all things were created at various "levels" or the energy used to create the earth can all change it, since carbon dating does not consider Gods power at creation as part of its formulas.
It is because I am logical I have decided this, because they just don't fit into anything, even in evolution, they were the stronger of the animals, they should have survived, if creation, and they were not created ( if they were not) then they can not exist.
I have worked in the church in areas of faith, and in area of things of the spirit so much I know there are many things that science and logic can not explain that are real,
But with that, pesonally I could care less if they were real or not, since they are gone and I don't have to clean up after one.
But since they are used so much to try to destroy the idea of faith and christianity, I would say that anyone thing, that causes so much trouble, has to have been developed by satan.
Well, yes Satan can do many evil things but last time I checked he couldn't create. He didn't make bones and place them all over this earth. Please don't take this the wrong way but...i don't see that you are logical at all. We have dinosaur bones...we have evidence. I agree that carbon dating isn't accurate.

First of all...Satan is an individual...not an omnipotent god. I doubt that he went around the world finding huge, gigantic, oversized bones and went to all the work to form them into other giant, overisized bones. What would he possibly gain by doing that?
And of course I did not say it was a populare beleif, but scinece has little understanding, carbon dating has been shown several times not to be as reliable as people are lead to beleive. O2 dating has shown better promice.
I agree with you here. Carbon dating is a total, unreliable farce. That doesn't mean that large reptiles didn't exist at some point in history.
And even at carbon dating, it is assuming carbon at some max level, going down, if all things were created at various "levels" or the energy used to create the earth can all change it, since carbon dating does not consider Gods power at creation as part of its formulas.
Again, I agree. The conditions of the pre-flood earth were much different than the post flood era. Adam was created as a full grown man with age. Therefore, there is not reason that we should not believe that the earth was not created with age as well.
It is because I am logical I have decided this, because they just don't fit into anything, even in evolution, they were the stronger of the animals, they should have survived, if creation, and they were not created ( if they were not) then they can not exist.
Look at it this way. Before the flood, conditions were far more favorable to a large animal like a dinosaur to exist. There were plants galore and the climate was mile worldwide. After the flood, the majority of the earth's plant life was destroyed and there was a major climate change. The dinosaurs could have starved to death. Just a thought.
But with that, pesonally I could care less if they were real or not, since they are gone and I don't have to clean up after one.
LOL. I have to agree again. Who cares if dinosaurs existed or not. Not important to man's salvation.
But since they are used so much to try to destroy the idea of faith and christianity, I would say that anyone thing, that causes so much trouble, has to have been developed by satan.
I mostly agree again that bones and archeology are heavily used to dispute God's creation. But I am a truth seeker and if they did exist, it's an interesting fact worth knowing.

I believe that scientists and man made measurements to determine how old is something is very much flawed and we can not truly know about the creation and aspects of it. It is all theory. Many scientific facts are just truly theories that scientists have come up with.
How the hell does somebody know that something is billions of years old. Not my idea of scientific fact.
I too believe that men and dinosaurs lived together. Not in the same bed mind you, lol JK. I hope you know what I am getting at.
6,000 years old seems a lot more realistic to me. The thing with the billions of years old theory from the scientists the only reason why they have used those numbers is so they can verify their own theory about evolution.
My thoughts are yes the earth is young. It is not as old as scientists theorize. I also believe we cohabitate with the dinasours at one time.
Tessy777 agrees: Dude...come on Satan is GOOD but he ain't that good. We got the bones!
There's NOTHING about Satan that is good. That's a fact Jack.
AJ,
I didn't mean he was "good" and you know it. I meant he was good at what he does....why do we always have to fight? you need to face the facts that i am right and you...are not....bummer huh?

I know it but knew I would get your goat. LOL. Me...fight? Nada! Just stating a few simple facts. I know that kinda makes you angry when I do that but it's my job. Someone has to do it.
First let me answer the question. Have to go with science on this one 4.5 billion years old.
Second carbon 14 dating is only accurate to 60,000 years and is done by measuring the decay of the carbon 14 atom which is an unstable isotope of carbon to the stable isotope of carbon 12. It is not used to determine the age of the earth at least not to say that it is any more than 60,000 years old.
Third let me state that it doesn't matter to me what you believe I simply try put the facts out there. If you choose to believe in something that goes against observation that is your thing and doesn't effect me. Now that said let me put some facts out there.
Scientific theory is stated as theory because it evolves as we get more evidence and isn't a law until it is proven that nothing more can be added since we don't have an exact date, hour, minute and second the earth formed it will remain a theory probably forever because we will probably never have that info just to hard to get.
Theory also is different in science than a guess. In science a guess is your first step then you gather evidence, once you have sufficient evidence to support your guess you submit your paper to be peer reviewed by a panel and if the panel agrees with your evidence your guess becomes a theory.
My last point that is that since the earth is a geologically active planet earth rocks can't be used to date earth because the get melted and reformed every couple of million years or so, because of this they used meteorites that fell to earth and dated those. Check out The Age of the Earth it has most of the reasons why we feel the earth is 4.5 billion years old. I encourage everyone to read evidence on both sides and decide for yourself.
I too, believe in a young, created earth. I have wrestled with evolution being a "fact" for a number of decades. I believe that there were dinosaurs because there is concrete evidence for them. I also believe that dinosaurs existed at the same time as man.
Because I am a Christian, I believe in what the Bible says and teaches. I, by know means, am any sort of expert on the Bible, nor on the theory of evolution. But, I will keep studying the Bible and other books in order to bolster my faith. Also, I find discussions and debates on this site to be interesting and informative.
I just finished reading an excellent book titled, "In Search of the Genesis World - Debunking the Evolution Myth", by Erich A Von Fange. I liked it so much, and want to be able to use quotes from it as a tool, that I am reading it again.
Life had been started from 2 people-Adam&Eve. Now it reached to 600crore. 6000years enough for it. other religion, especially hinduism already said this, age of kali or kaliage now reaching near 6000years.
I believe that that there were "dinosaurs" the same time as man, but I also believe the earth is far older then 6,000 years old. I am definitely a believer in the "gap theory".
