One is a 70-million-year old quick-moving meat-eater found on the bottom of an Antarctic sea, while and the other is a 200-million-year-old giant plant-eater that was found on the top of a mountain, reports Reuters.

70 - 200 million years old??...It's so laughable that "scientist" put their religion over fact and their own scientific method and really BELIEVE that the earth is that old when all the known evidence points to about 6-7 thousand years.

Re-read Genesis carefully.

"In the begining..." then comes "and God moved over the face of the waters". There is a break in time between the two parts, of UNKNOWN (and unknowable from text) duration. The only "6-7,000 years" comes from human calculation of time from THE Adam's being "formed" (adam = mankind, having already been Created in the Sixth Day) as the Gardener. i.e. The beginnings of agricultural civilzation.

The actual "beginning" IOW, takes place at the start of the "First Earth Age" "the world that then was", etc mentioned in 2 Peter & elsewhere. That leaves more than enough room for whatever science finds & verifies about the earth's age; and also even allows what evidence of life they find from those times, which Age ended with Satan's fall.

Science & the Bible do not conflict, but it takes more than Webster's to know what some of the words used by the translators mean.
