OK my take:
I believe in GOD and his creation. It's amazing to me that there is only one person on here out of 114 post that has said the same. WOW!
I believe that the earth was made some 4-6000 years ago. I don't believe everything carbon dating says. It has been proven unreliable hundreds of time. I can show test to prove this.
You also may say well where did dinasours come from? They came form god and YES it does mention them in the bible. All in the bible actually, the problem is most folks don't know that the word dinasour was first used in the 1800's. Dinasours are called behemoth's and dragons in the bible. For those of you that know at first everything on earth was a vegetarian, which explains why dinasours did in fact live with the human species thousands of years ago. All the bull of the thousands of kinds of dinasours is crazy. These remains have been found by scientists all over the world and the problem is they would find a portion of the remains and come up with another name of the species, so it seems that we have thousands of types on "dinasours" but we really only have about 50. It's like dogs, there are very many breeds and size dogs but in the end they are all dogs.
When God flooded the earth all dinasours were killed except for the ones of the sea that lived through it as well as the crocodiles. Hence why the whales,sharks and crocodiles are the only true living creatures that we have traced back that long ago.
Carbon dating proves nothing. Studies have been done on seal bones, dogs, and many other animals that was dead for a few days and the bones were sent off for a blind study and the carbon dating study found them to be hundreds or thousands of years old, so carbon dating proves nothing to me.
The problem is the bible is laid out in a way that we all are sinners and we have to ask for forgiveness and repent for our sins. The truth is that ones that aren't strong enough to live by the bible look for a place to go so they can have a crutch for not having to obey gods word and believe. In turn they look for other ways of creation to prove the bible wrong. The ones that truly fear god and live by his word and try to be like him on a daily basis have no issue with believing he created everything. I believe in the bible and believe that God created me as well as my surroundings.
There are 668 prophecies that have been fullfilled and not one have been proven false. Only 3 of those are unconfirmed. How many time has science been proven false. A lot more than that I can assure you. Somebody also wrote that the bible was written by some man in a mud hut. Sorry man but the bible was written by many different people from the word of God himself and that has been proven as well. Not sure where that info came from but it really shoots holes in the rest of your beliefs.
Just my .02! May not be yours but that's ok, christians have been persecuted for thier beliefs by non believers for thousands of years and I won't change your mind. Funny thing is in The Sermon on the Mount god said that would happen too(Matthew 5:10). Man this guy didn't know what he was talking about did he?
