There is no scientific proof for any age beyond about 4,500 years. There might be a lot of circular evidence, a lot of science theory, but there is no proof.
This means that, according to science fact, the earth is only about 4,500 years old. We can assume that it is older. But we don't know from science.
The Bible record might be a religious thing, but strong traditions among the Jews is the Biblical timeline of about 6,200 years, in their Old Testament, the Tanakh. They are a living race of people, not some dead race that cannot speak.
Nailed. Science is just a product of the curiosity of the stupid people like all of us anyways. Science cant even explain what are the creatures under water yet scientists believe that there is really a life form underwater how come that they dont believe on the creator(god). A crazy stupidity that acts like a geniuses
Yet, your trust in science is way, way, way stronger than your trust in God.
Picture the scene.
You've been in a terrible accident, and you're losing blood fast.
Thankfully, the ambulance has arrived, but because of the poisonous Jehovah's Witnesses's rhetoric of not donating blood, the ambulance crew has exhausted it's supply.
So where do you ask the ambulance crew to drive you to?
A) Hospital, as they have a good chance of more blood supplies.
or
B) Church. Best place so you can pray for God for help.
See. Your trust in God is a tiny atom of unimportance compared to your huge trust in medical science.
So you see, don't knock science too much, you trust it more than you care to admit. Waaaaaaayyyyyyyyy more.......
And your trust in God is way stronger than your trust in science. Whenever you do something, you trust that the standard physics of life and the universe are in place to allow you to do it. God holds the physics of life and the universe in place. So, you are really trusting in God.
I dig that perspective, mind if I use this in my arguments from now on? I like the inclusiveness, despite rejection. His love is indeed infinite; the wayward son gets even more attention than his stalwart brother when the Father listens.
The sheep try so hard to leave the pasture, not understanding that the pasture is the whole of things, there is nothing else. Denial doesn't mean non existence, it's just a separation of sorts
