Post #268 has substantial biblical teachings that bring this into question.

Carbon dating acuracy is also is limited to a few thousand years.
As far as the 7 creation days.
While the fossil record proves creation, it disproves creation in the "literal" 6 creation days.

Wrong. Items dating back millions of years are routinely dated. There is a reasonable margin of error, of course, but it is clear that the Earth is several billion years old, at least.


The fossil record proves creation AND disproves creation in 6 days?

I don't even know where to begin.

Another mind deluded by religion.

Clint is such a nice guy... :rolleyes:

Then it must be true. :p

I never claimed to be nice.

Just correct.

The Travel Channel, or a 2,000 year old book written by men.

I don't see why one is clearly a more reliable source of information than the other.

Intersting that not until this century that certain names and places that were only noted in this old book and have been refuted as fiction, that thru recently found artifacts were actually found to be true.

The fact that the Bible names proper names of people and places means nothing.

Stephen King and Tom Clancy (for example) do the same thing.

No you didnt understand what I said. Certain names and places had only been historically recorded in the bible. For example, the name Pontius Pilate had only been found in the bible, there were no secular written historical documents or artifacts proving him existing as a political ruler or even a person......until recently.

-I was speaking of its acuracy.
-There is no doubt that the earth is millions of years old.
-I dont know, the layers of sediment show no signs of life then all of a sudden... wala there's whole life forms. I suppose the fossil record can be altered by athiests.

Honest questions:

Who do you believe wrote the Bible?

How old do you believe the Bible is?

1. Carbon dating isn't perfectly accurate with any items, but it is accurate enough when you're talking about millions of years.

2. Whole life forms? As opposed to what? Obviously we haven't found every type of fossil yet. Even if life did "suddenly" spring up, it's not evidence of creation by a supreme being...let alone the same being featured in the Bible.

I'll let the scientists decipher the fossil record & leave the twisted interpretations to the religious.

1. Politicians/Leaders of some sort, who sought power/control over the then ignorant masses.

2. It's been pieced together, added to, and abridged over many centuries, but I think the oldest parts probably have their roots in text originally written about 2,000 years ago.

thus making you as much a sheep as those you deride.
