The fossil history is false. The scientists don't know what they are talking about. Radiometric dating is flawed. Everything is a lie except the Bible. I am trying out the other side of this argument. It's pretty weak I must say.

No, the Earth is much much older.  This is why the Bible is not to be taken literally.  If anything, we were meant to eventually point out these inconsistencies.  The truth is that the dinosaurs existed a long time ago (dragons) and were created to be just another amazing addition to life here on Earth.\n\nThe dinosaurs existed at a time when gravity as we experience it now was attenuated, and we experience much muss less of it.  This is how dinosaurs like the ultrasaur and massive bids like the teratorn were able to walk and fly around without collapsing under their own weight.

I'd just like to point out... do you see all the hatred being poured out by the answerers right here on this question?  \n\nIt's amazing to me.  It really is.  And I accept the fact that I have been born a century too early.  Oh, well, I'll just have to do what I can so that my grandchildren won't have to deal with this nonsense.

Things are getting really f***ed up.  I mean, I'm not sure if I'm just paying attention more now than when I was a kid, but it seems like the world has gone completely mad in the last ten years.  I think either Christ will come again or humans will destroy each other.  Either way, the world is definately ending sooner than later.

Bible says, "Earth is 6,000 years old."\n\nArcheology and Ancient History says, "Earth is BILLIONS of years old." Radio Carbon Dating proves this.\n\nI've heard nonsensical retorts from bible thumpers that say, "Oh, yea fossils are caused when lightning hits trees or bones, so that's why there are fossils." (This is BS).\n=========================\nBible says, "Dinosaurs? What dinosaurs?" (makes NO mention of dinosaurs) -- And imagine how long Adam and Eve would have lasted in the Land of Dinosaurs, LOL...\n\nArcheology, Paleontology, Ecology, Pathology, etc. says, "There are 1,000s of species of dinosaurs that are millions of years old".\n\n========================\nBible says, "There was one man and one woman starting out.(Adam and Eve)" -- This would have us believe incest is how we all came about. (Again, completely nonsensical). Next comes the cover story for this:\n\nThey're next retort is to tell the story of the "Tower of Babel".  This story tries to explain that the Adam and Eve family was "miraculously" split into millions of different races!  (AMAZING!).  All the humans decided they'd build a giant pyramid to heaven and overthrow god!  (HAHAHA silly humans! BAM, now you're 1,000 different races and tongues!)  --  What kind of nursery rhyme is this?\n--------------------------------------------------\n ONLY Bush-voting, Rush Limbaugh-listening, Bill O'Reilly- Talking Headed baffoons can believe this kind of s***.\n\nHuman ecology and pathology would show that it is IMPOSSIBLE to have inbreeding like this, without the bad effects.  Humans would be complete mongoloids now with horrible deformities.\n========================\nWhy is evolution so hard to believe?  Given the billions of years it takes for chemicals to react and combine and recombine, things happen.  Synthetic materials are produced, entities are born.\n\nI imagine if bible thumpers didn't know about wind they'd assume that famous rock formations were made by the "hand of god".\n\nReligion should have gone the way of the dinosaur, but sadly, we are stuck in a land of barbarian-like people.  It's easier to believe what you're told to believe, than to think for yourself, thus evolving yourself...\n--------------------------------------------\nChurches are a BILLION-DOLLAR a year industry!\nEach church tells you to give 10% of your income each week!\nIf the average(low) person pays their (10%) or .1*$400/week = $40). Imagine an average church has 200 members.  200 * $40 = $8000 (GASP).  And there are MEGA CHURCHES that have attendances of around 5,000 or so... ($200,000/week) (DROOL)  Who wouldn't want to be a "preacher"?\n\nIf the "preacher" can do his job and get his congregation to believe the bull and create converts, he's basically filling his bankroll with more money.  It's the biggest pyramid(ponzi) scheme in history!

Reminds me of that bit in Catch 22.\n\nAnyway, I don't believe in a God of History; one whose supposed exploits are charted in writings from the past. There is no way I can face a divinity who sits from the distant yesterday and claims that enough has been done, or who has dangled false hopes over our future. Life is not that simple. The God that I would believe in would exist in the here and now, and would be defined through such an existence rather than through the broken remains of our ancestors.

gosh it seems like a lot of people are pretty skeptical about what you are saying but i am in agreement with you.  now i am not very knowledgeable on endtimes prophecies but i would not be completely surprised if Jesus' second coming were to occur in this age.\n\nWith that said, it is not for us to predict or prepare for the exact date of Jesus' second coming but every day we should live as if it were the last.

If your view is accurate that just shows how really ignorant and foolish mankind really is. For billions of people throughout human history to be duped into believing something like the Bible is simply ludicrous. Please give three things that you claim to false about the Bible and  lets debate them on Yahoo Answers.

Im guessing that youre joking....\n\nBut the problem is, too many people share that sentiment. What if youre wrong? Do you really want to leave a legacy to your children that consists of a uninhabitable planet?? \n\nYou people have been predicting the end of the world for 2000 years. Youve been wrong so far. What if you continue to be wrong for another 2000 years??

This is dervied from something called "Usher's Chronology." During the Middle Ages, a monk by name of Usher, thought that he could take the various geneologies in the Bible, add them all up, and come up with the age of the earth. Since almost all of the geneologies were passed down from father to son orally, and since the earth began long before human history began, his conclusion ( about 6,000 years ) was ludicrous. \n\nSome people still choose to believe this for reasons known only to them.

I believe in the Bible.\nThe Bible says that the world was created in six literal 24 hour days, is around 6000 years old, that man and dinosaurs lived together (being created in the same week), and that there was a flood that totally covered the entire planet, killing off the vast majority of human, plant and animal life on the planet.\nThe amount of scintific evidence that supports this theory is simply staggering, but rarely given a chance to be heard or seen due to the wide-spread acceptance of the evolution theory.\n\nDid you know that the earth's rotation is slowing down? So if you back up in time a few million years, you have to speed the earth's rotation up proportionatly - you can't even go back a few million before the earths rotation becomes so fast that life on this planet is not possible anymore. - Much less 4.6 billion years.\n\nThe orbit of the moon is growing a little bit farther away from the earth every year, so if you back that one up a few million years, the moon would have been so close to the earth that the tide would have come so high it would wipe out all life on the  planet twice a day. - 4.6 billion years ago, it would have to have been touching the earth,  not oribiting the earth.\n\nI could go on for many pages like this, but follow the link below to find out more about that the Bible says about creation, and what scientific examination of these claims have shown.

When Plato's ancestor Solon went to Sais in Egypt (600 BC), the priests told him about Atlantis. They also said that inscriptions on their temple walls told how many times civilisations had risen to great heights and then fallen because of natural catastrophes such as floods, fire, earthquakes, etc. I think that maybe we are being a little presumptuous to think that it can't happen to us. I have spent the last 15/20 years researching a related subject and in my opinion the last great catastrophe was 9600 BC, with the sudden and abrupt end of the mini-ice-age called the Younger Dryas period. I believe that this is the basis of the Biblical flood. Getting back to today - the Christian versus Muslim thing - yep, of course it coming, you can smell it! I should imagine that most of the faceless men in grey suits already know this and are moving their pieces on the world chess board accordingly. Humans are amazing - we've been on the moon and sent machines out to beyond the solar system, I can pick up my phone and talk immediately to a person on the other side of the world, I can sit in my armchair and with the smallest of thumb movements be entertained by 100 different TV channels - but with the flick of an eyelid this civilisation can be destroyed because people believe that their unseen and unproven overlord of the cosmos is better than the other man's invisible and all-seeing ever-present boss. It almost makes you want to scream! We're such clever animals - but I don't think that we're too intelligent - and when it's all over we'll begin again.

They talk about 12-12-12 so much because Y2K never happened and they need a new date to freak on. People have been calling for the apocalypse to happen tomorrow ever since "Jesus" died.
