But even in a mere 6000 years a lot of things have died. Why shouldn't there be fossils? There haven't been any non-embellished "missing links" found however, never mind the bazillions of fossils there should be were macro-evolution true.

No one has ever observed bones being fossilized into mineral formations even for bones buried thousands of years old. Trillions of living things have walked, slithered, and oozed across this world - clearly, the conditions for fossils to form are extremely rare and yet, we dig up more every year. Perhaps, someday we'll dig up the last one you require to recognize their age and importance.

me: That the light we see in our telescopes was created some 6000 years ago to fool us into believing in an old universe?

youu: Besides the theory that the speed of light is slowing down, just because that's the speed of light, it doesn't mean they didn't just come on one day.

Sorry, no such scientific theory exists - that's a Creationist myth to explain what they refuse to recognize.

I think our minds are relatively puny in the scope of the size of the Universe, and I honestly lose less than little sleep on these questions.

Then why come here and post your scripture to a scientific discussion?

Why must you insult your correspondents this way? Threads of this type are not scientific discussions. They are philosophical discussions (when they are civil). I venture to say that none of the people on this thread are “professionals” on this subject. That’s evident from the level of the discourse and the “evidence” presented. Otherwise they are spitting contests with evolutionists calling their opponents names.

In view of your screen name, are you aware that J.R.R. Tolkien was a very devout Christian?

Bones can never prove evolution and here's why: in spite of all the dinosaur bones we have collected, paleontologists cannot provide a single piece of evidence that the skin of the dinosaurs was not purple like Barney's. When bones provide so little evidence of what a species was about, they clearly cannot show the gradual development of one from another.
