:D
This right here proves you know nothing about science and why you think it's all mumbo jumbo. Maybe if you spent as much time learning, as you do arguing. You would learn why scientist think what they do.
FYI carbon dating only goes back 40k to 65k years. You can't carbon date anything older than that.
The essence of science is checking and - where and when necessary - updating the data to the latest available supporting data.Quote:

Not correct. We know 100% sure that the Christian fanatics' claim of 6.300 years is totally ludicrous.Quote:

Aaaahhh : so your approx. 6.300 years are just like the Genesis days... I see !Quote:

?? She stated "I frankly think the earth is 5 thousand Trillion years so how is it just like the 6.300 years like Genesis?
I know I am not good at math BUT
Many people believe in the gap theory and that is what I believe basically.
If you spend more attention to what is posted on the discussion boards than on babbling here, you would know that sassyT as creationist claims that the earth is approx. 6.300 years old.Quote:

kt123456's original question was :
"The story of creation (gen 1-2:4). what does the passage mean to its original viewers?"
===
I assume kt meant the original writer of that Bible book, and not those who are visiting this website...
Genesis 1:1 - 2:4
1-1 : In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, 2the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
3Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
6And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. 8God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
9And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11Then God said, “Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.” And it was so. 12The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good. 13And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
14And God said, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, 15and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth, 18to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
20And God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.” 21So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. 22God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
24And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.” And it was so. 25God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.
26Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” 27So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
29God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
2-1 : Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their multitude. 2And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. 3So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.
4These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
All what can be said about that meaning is that it most probably was intended as an explanation (anno approx. -2000) of the origin of everything by a person who had not been trained at any university (!) in astronomy nor cosmology nor biology.
But as Christians claim that the writer was guided by "God", it seems to indicate that - in the light of today's scientific knowledge - either "God's" guidance was not functioning very well, or that "God" neither had any idea how it all happened...

As a creationaist, I have said repeatedly that the Bible makes absolutely NO statement that requires us to believe that Earth is 6300 years old, or ANY certain length of time in age. Some do teach the 6,000 years or so, but I challenge them to show scripture supporting it. The record simply says "In the beginning---" which can be as far back as you might desire. Atheists use this assumption to discredit the Bible, when all that is faulty is man's understanding of it.
Which part of the Bible don't you believe? The history, poetry, or prophecy?
I agree. The Bible does not specify that there was absolutely nothing before the 6 day creation that I can find. In fact BEFORE the six day creation Genesis states the earth was without form and void. Makes it sound like the 6 day creation was a sort of phase two.
6 day creation proves that what is stated within the 6 day creation would be 6300 years old
By dating the amount of years/generations according to the Bible but that does not prove the earth itself is only 6300 years old if there was a two phase creation.
That is why I believe the concept of the gap theory.
Your co-creationist sassyT claims the earth to be approx. 6300 years old. I did not do that.Quote:

3 - The age of the earth - based on scientific data and objective supported evidence - is approx. 4,3 Billion years.
.....It's not a scientist's guess.
4 - No your guess is not as good as the age mentioned under point 3.

You BELIEVE the universe is 14.5 billion years.Quote:

No your guess isn't as good as someone who has evidence. That's like saying is the sky green? Your guess is as good as mine. Your guess from inside your church isn't as good as the one of the guy standing in the field looking at the sky.
1 - I ALWAYS state APPROX. 14,3 Billion years. And I do not BELIEVE that.Quote:
Originally Posted by sassyT

3 - So far you have NEVER provided a single good reason why that 14,3 Billion years is incorrect.
4 - The 5000 Trillion years period you mention is totally ludicrous, and is not supported at all.
5 - Of course you may believe that, but your suggestion - like so many of your suggestions - lacks any validity.
As always your approach shows your lack of any scientific understanding, reason once more for me to ask you where and when you got the degree you claim to have received in Biology.
:D :D :D :D :D

What evidence?. lol It is not the same as saying the sky is green because the sky being blue is an irrefutable verifiable FACT. Radio dating however employs at least 5 assuptions that can not be verified as true.Quote:

If you really think that way, why don't you write a paper about it and when your paper gets published use it to laugh at the scientific community. You're a college student you should have the knowledge of how to get a paper published. I would actually applaud your efforts if you got the paper published because that would show that we have a serious flaw in way we conduct science.
However, if you actually studied something Sassy you would know that there is more evidence for the date of the universe that what you call "radio dating". You would rather argue out of ignorance though. The big bang isn't an easy idea to wrap your head around.
Here is a good place to start to get why we think the big bang is currently the best model for the formation of our universe
