Thanks for your insight, I had never really thought of the Flintstones as being non-fiction.

Dividing infinity by zero might cause some real problems, lol.
You may be able to find a 10,000 year old ball but you will never find a 10,000 year old earth.
Calculus works like a jet airplane works.
You save up your money, you buy a ticket, you get on board and you pray.
My head is flat answering your question.
Other than the one I’m standing on? Why would I want to?
(BTW, 10K is your figure, Humorless One.)
In your opinion, how old is the earth?
The problem with the infallible Bible theory is that we don’t know who wrote much of the Bible, or when. So, like an artwork of uncertain provenance, we can’t determine whether it’s genuine. This means if we do science with the Bible, we cannot expect to be able to test our scientific hypotheses.
The great thing about the fact of the inerrant Scripture is that we know a great deal about when most of it was written, and by whom; and above all that, we have the unimpeachable eyewitness testimony of Jesus Christ as to its veracity. It provides an unshakable foundation on which to build — as contrasted with the solipsistic, circular speculations of naturalistic scientism.
Of course not, because it's only 6,000 years old.
The Bible has proven that God woke up at 8am on October 23, 4004 BC, showered at 8:30, made coffee and 8:45, and created the Earth at 9.
Really don’t know, but it doesn’t approach millions or billions.
Send democrat party hirelings down to the lab and sign them up to vote in time for the next election.
And what do we do with the many inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the Bible?
No, your analogy is entirely incorrect.
Guess you haven’t heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls which independently verify the content and the history of when the Bible was written.
Oh, and BibChr - Genesis is an allegorical description of Creation. It does follow what happened, what we’ve determined scientifically happened, but it wasn’t in 6 X 24 hour days. Until the earth was spinning, what was a “day”?
And, why would a Being outside of the constraints of linear time attempt to literally describe the required timeframes to a nomadic people who didn’t even know what they were standing on?
Which Bible is inerrant?
Thanks for your insight, I had never really thought of the Flintstones as being non-fiction.
I know of none.
Archeologists are pretty happy with it though.
Of course I know of apparent errors. That takes us back to premise. Your wife tells you something about what she's done with her day that doesn't make sense. Throw her out? Or give her the benefit of the doubt? The latter.
So, I believe in Jesus. His judgment overrules yours, in my eyes, and mine. You could never persuade me that there is an actual error in the Bible, as He said there was none.
Just cutting to the chase.
