The bible says earth is only 7000 yerars old science says it is 5,000,000,000 Y.o

I deny all affiliation with Catholics

They are single-celled organisms, the most abundan lifeforms on the planet. 🙄

1. That is SO fake, that didn't happen in the Bible. Even if it did say that in the Bible the vents in the ground would mean the ground soaking the water in.

2. Where'd these 'single-celled organisms' come from? If they are so abundant on this planet why aren't they common on Mars?

Science prove that one yet? roll eyes (sarcastic)

They aren't common on Mars because it is freezing and has no atmsphere. Its living conditions are teh suxx0rz.

I think Adam Poe was being completely sarcastic in that post about water being poured.

ok

I know I've read that the angels hold up the 4 corners of the earth.

That is very true, lol. But I have also heard that 'single-celled organisms' are supposed to be able to survive in extreme surroundings.

four wind corners of the earth, the north, south, east, and west winds.

Gog and Magog FTW?

The Bible does not say that earth is 7000 years old. That is a assumption people make from dates and time periods mentioned in the Bible. Just as in Genesis it would be ignorant to assume that the creation was in 7 days because it clearly says in the Bible that one day for God is like 1000 years on earth which means the Creation alone could have taken 7000 years to complete. But this is all just speculation as no one can be sure. Even the evolution theories are build on speculation on what they have found. Their are no notes left for us to tell us exactly how it happened and how long it took. That is why it is called THEORIES because it is not absolutely, without a doubt fact. Even today there are discrepancies and irregularities showing up in these theories.

The key word there is "calculated." It is up to you whether or not to believe calculations. But just remember that calculations can be wrong.
(Not much different than someone saying the Bible could be wrong, now is it?)

I already know about carbon dating, I mentioned it earlier. The point is that carbon 14 dating isn't absolute because no one has studied rocks for billions of years. I admit that it is a good indication that Earth is billions of years old, but it is not absolute.

You say:

"the only way that the carbon 14 can decay in the quantity that is verified in fossils, is let pass billions of years."

but how do you know that?

Oh... I see what you mean, and I agree. Like anything else, we can choose to believe in calculations or not. Scientific method is not something that can be proved, its a matter of faith in the scientific method.

Just a note. Fossil records aren't the only evidence nowadays pertaining to human evolution, with the advent of molecular techniques. If you've ever studied some molecular genetics you'll see that the evidence is relatively conclusive in terms of determining some sort of evolutionary relationships between different species. You'd be hard pressed to look at the evidence objectively and say it's purely speculation. I'm not saying that the evidence is absolute, there is no such thing as certainty, but it is at least tangible.

Just out of interest which discrepancies and irregularities are you referring to?

BTW I'm assuming you refer to human/eukaryote evolution, as on a microbial scale I can actually physically record the evolution of a population of prokaryotes.

Yet no non-christian knows how those tiny microbes got there, ain't it weird? Did the microbes gain their own life from something lifeless such as dust?

everything is faith based yet the science give more hard evidence to back up their theories though

they simply don't know where they came from and they say they came from nowhere which makes no sense. evidence is hard to come by.
