Wormholes? God’s mirrors? A flaw in the color spectrum, combined with God’s mirrors? Witchcraft?

About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs went extinct.

Long after that, the first of our Homo Sapiens lineage appeared about 150 thousand years ago.

Ref ... Steve Jones, “Darwin’s Ghost,” pages 219-220 and 323.

If God is capable of creating a universe (and He is) then He would be able to create the conditions for us to enjoy the beauty of His creation. Hence He made the sunlight to shine here from light-years away ,not for the purpose of confusion or mislead the age of the universe, but for our viewing pleasure.

My Bible doesn't agree with that.

More garbage pretending to usurp science...

...excerpt from the linked article ...
Human fossils have been found, hundreds of them, but generally in deposits which most creationists would think were post-Flood (e.g. buried in caves during the post-Flood Ice Age—see Chapter 16). However, in at least one case, human bones have been found in “older” strata.20

And:

If there were, say, 10 million people at the time of the Flood and all their bodies were preserved and uniformly distributed throughout the 700 million cubic kilometres of fossil-bearing sedimentary rock layers, only one would be found in every 70 cubic kilometres of rock. Thus you would be unlikely to find even one human fossil.

And:

People would cling to rafts, logs etc. until the very end and then tend to bloat and float and be scavenged by fish, with the bones breaking down rather quickly, rather than being preserved. This would make human fossils from the Flood exceedingly rare.

...end excerpt...

strategizing and conjecture without any shred of evidence other than trying to point to the bible as a primary source. Reading these articles just illustrates the blind foolishness involved in the author’s proselytizing diatribe.

All smoke and mirrors - nothing to see here people. Moving on.

Start in Genesis 1. It states “In the beginning . . . . “ If you want more details I suggest you go to the Source. We all have a meeting (and judgment) pre-arranged.

Maybe your Bible is incorrect.

Occam’s razor comes in here pretty quickly.

There’s also a problem of knowing anything - if you can’t begin your logic with assuming you can basically trust your sense data.

For example, some explain with: “God could have created the universe with everything in it just yesterday complete with fossils, old light, your memories, etc.

Or 6,000 years ago.

Yes, and creation could be only you dreaming.

This really is POSSIBLE. What’s impossible is to have scientific investigation, or even rational argument about the universe, if you start with such assumptions.

Occam’s razor is just one more tool for proof there is a God.

An excellent description of the T/E.

Thanks for sharing.
