The question is not when was Jimmy Hoffa was deposited in the cement, but which is older. In this case, it would be Jimmy Hoffa.

I understand the fossil record to be chiefly, but not completely, a record denoting a wordwide deluge: catastrophic with long lasting results. This is partly because I assume the biblical texts to be authoritative and accurate. There is nothing about those texts to suggest they were spun out of human imagination in a desire to convince ourselves and those around us of some higher purpose. They rather read as a text given from outside human reason and experience in order to reveal what we by nature cannot imagine.
Unless and until those who espouse an old earth are willing to admit up front what are their assumptions I will remain skeptical of their claims. At the same time, I do not consider their understanding to be preposterous by any means. My own assumptions and understandings are not above reproach. They are not without evidence either.
The bones are of a mature man. It would be assumed he didn't grow up or grow old in the concrete. The objection is without merit.
That's right. By about 50 years.

Maybe you assume this, Don't know anyone else who does.

I know someone who understands the government is beaming messages into his brain from his car radio via his tooth fillings. It's a shame; he's a smart guy.
