Hmm.... My pastor says that God created Adam only 5,000 years ago.
Your pastor forgot to add in the couple of mil it took to get the import-export permit.
Seek a new pastor. One that is better tuned with time.
I thought it was 9000 years ago....
It is funny, you can create a fossil in a lab. There was a man on TV recently who had some fossils that had been carbon dated to be 40 million years old. But when they were cracked open, one had a battery in it, one had a modern hat, and one had a modern hammer. He said carbon dating is very much in question and full of error.
My daughter who is a hydrogeology major, a senior at UT, said it is EASY to create a fossil in the lab, and it would fool the 'experts'.
The pastor at the church I attended when a teenager said that doing anything on a Sunday except praying and worshiping was a sin – until he started playing golf.
