The word for day in the first chapter of Genesis refers to a 24 hour period. If taken literally, the earth was created in 6 days, and the earth is only 10,000 years old, or thereabouts.

I thought it was created in 4000 BC, which would make the earth only six thousand years old. Explain the discrepency. Or do you not take the Bible literally?

If you believe in a universal flood, and the impact that the waters from above and below caused, you can see that what 'scientists' claim was caused by billions of years of evolution, could indeed have occurred in a 40 day flood.

No, not really. There is no evidence whatsoever for a global flood, and all evidence you would expect to find is noticeably absent. Just as one example (and I'd be happy to post many more), Greenland ice cores go back more than 40,000 years. How come there isn't any evidence of the sediment, salinity change, etc. that you'd expect to find after a flood?

It is perfectly reasonable then

Don't worry. Nothing you have posted has been tarnished by reason.

especially when you know that the so-called dating methods of scientists are filled with error and assumption.

Care to back up any of your claims? Or should I just take them on faith? (snicker)

Say....it's been nice talking with you andy.

I can back up my claims with plenty of facts and references, but you know, subjecting myself to the ridicule of a cynical atheist, is not my idea of a good time, so I'm going to pass. If you want to have a discussion some time without the sarcasm, I'll be happy to give you all the facts you'd like.

You have your faith......in yourself, and your gods. I have faith in the Almighty and Sovereign God, His Love and His goodness, and in His Son, Jesus Christ. There's no common ground here, so consider this dialogue finished.

Salt water is heavier than fresh water. If the flood was global, the subterranean waters would've sat on top of the salt water, plus there would've been so much water that the salinity would've been diluted to a great degree.
