Great point Darth. On top of that, my own bible study teacher said that since it has been translated from language to language many times, a lot of words that deal with measurement and other related things, could not be accurately translated or were lost somewhere in translation. He said that the bible really could not be trusted for measuring time specifically, because while it says people lived to be 900 years old, it is believed by scholars that they measured years differently. He also said that people were literally burned at the stake for trying to translate it from Latin.
There is a lot of proof that the earth is much older than the bible suggests Hunchy. I suggest you do some research. But to come up with some examples right here, just look at things that have already been said in previous posts. I think it was Darth that mentioned that some stars are so far away it takes millions of light years for the light to reach earth, and we wouldn't be able to see them if earth was only a couple thousand years old. And I brought up the fact that fossil fuels take millions of years to form, and they exist here on earth. I can't really think of any others off the top of my head, but I'm sure if you look it up you'll find plenty of facts from both sides of the argument.
And animals appearances do sometimes change according to their environment. That doesn't mean that is the only type of evolution there is, but it does happen. Look at the tundra for example. It is all snow, all white, no trees whatsoever. The only rabbits you find there are pure white. Is that a coincidence? No. That's natural selection. At one time all the rabbits were brown, but eventually one came out that was white, and had an advantage in hiding from predators, so eventually all the brown ones died off until all the rabbits in that region were white. That's a example we talked about in my environmental science class this year. There are many more.
