There are around 1,800 prophecys in the Bible that have come to pass. There is nothing out there that has even in the ballpark with this kind of accuracy. It takes blind faith not to beleive the Bible.
With evolution, you have cold, hard science to prove and backup the theory
There is no science; cold or hard, to back up the theory of Evolution. The above examples are what you are refering to. Peking Man, Nebraska Man, etc. They are all fakes, not science. That is a fact that Science will attest to.
. An example? The bible takes us back, what, approx 4000 yrs to the garden of Eden, right? Yet dinosaur fossils carbon date back 100 million years, give or take. What gives?
Doctor Mary Leaky found a sulfer bed in Africa from a volcanic eruption... supposedly from six million years ago... in that sulfer bed were foot prints. Rhinos, Dinosaurs, Elepahnts, and ummmm.... Humans. How does science expalain...? No, Explanation,
I thought it was a snake in the tree, not a T-Rex.
Dinosaurs are still here... They were on Noahs Ark... and you can find them in any country, in all the major cities.
Carbon dating is derived from what we know about the breakdown of carbon. We know the rate radiation breaks it down and we extrapolate that backwards. This system assumes the amount of radiation hitting the earth has been the same for the last one hundred or more million years.... That my friend is insanity. Our Sun is shrinking... if we run that formula backwards it wasn't that many million years ago that the suns outer reaches would have touched the earth.
...Where are the dinosaurs you ask?... Reptiles as long as they live never quit getting bigger... There was a set of conditions on earth prior to the flood that let men live eight or nine hundred years... Ok... let a Iguana live for three hundred years... how big will it be? The word Dinosaur means "Big Lizard". The pyramids? Hard if you only got seventy years to do it... But if you got three hundred years to think about it and three hundred years to do it... Use a Dino for labor maybe?
No disrespect, but I have trouble buying the stories. But if it's any consolation, eventually we ALL will achieve enlightenment in some way, shape, or form. Right after the lid slams shut.
