Oh puuuuuleeeze....quit making we Christians who actually have good scientific training look like fools.
The earth is really older than the bible stories.
Really!
Look at it this way - would those folks a couple of thousand of years ago comprehended the term “billion”....let alone believed it? There was no purpose in giving them a physics course...the purpose of the bible is morals.
SCIENCE: Systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.
The foe of theory of evolution is legitimate science, not the Bible. When Darwinism faces off against real science it always has and always will be knocked out cold.
Of the multitude of gaps, flaws and leaps of faith required to have faith in Darwinism, let’s look at just one tiny aspect of the overall picture. That is, apes turning into man. Where are all the missing links hiding? I say links because the gap between man and his supposed closest evolutionary relative can’t be bridged by a single link.
If the theory is correct, shouldn’t evidence abound? Why have the only missing links presented been man-made hoaxes? If the earth lasts another 2,000 years no “missing links” will be found because none ever existed.
The purpose of the Bible is to lead people to salvation through Christ. It is God revealing Himself to mankind. Morals will come with salvation.
“There was no purpose in giving them a physics course...the purpose of the bible is morals.”
That’s a pretty shallow view of Christianity, then, if you think the Bible is just “about morals.” Certainly the scripture teaches what right and wrong is, but the goal isn’t just to make good men better. It’s to demonstrate that good men aren’t good at all.
As for your other comments, aren’t you just making assumptions about what a human being can and cannot understand? Considering how fanciful many pagan beliefs were, I don’t think there was a cognitive inferiority in mankind in those days in imagining myths. Why, you still believe plenty of myths yourself.
