I actually believe that evolution and creation are one in the same with evolution being how things were created with each theory supporting the other.

I fully believe time as we know and measure it today and biblical time are two different things.

For instance I think it’s ludicrous to believe that everything including the earth was created in six actual days. God may count one day as a million years.

Case in point to prove this theory Noah for instance is said in the bible to live to the ripe old age of 950. Can anyone honestly believe its possible for anyone to actually live 950 years? I think it’s pretty obvious that they were counting years differently.. Most believeably was that each month or lunar cycle was counted as a year which would have put Noahs age at 79.

There are acrheological facts left behind as well as undeniable holes in the biblical text.

Lets take the dinosaurs for example. The bible doesn’t mention them at all yet we’ve dug up there bones. Could not the dinsaurs purpose during creation be to spread seed and fertilize the earth? They left big ole piles of dung to do just that!

Man and woman was supposedly created in a garden. Then how did they spread to every continent without boats ? Could they not have started multiplying before the continental drift then when things started drifting apart thats how they ended up on each continent?

I’m a firm believer in the bible but I’m also reasonable and the bible doesn’t tell us all we want to know just what we need to know.

Mostly the same here, if there was any scripture giving the age of the earth I would probably believe it but believing the earth is 6000 years old is not believing the Bible it is just believing some ones interpretation of it.

Actually, if Adam and Eve would of obeyed God's single commandment to them, they would not of died. They were warned that they would die if they did not obey it. Sin made them genetically imperfect.

Every other wonderment of yours is also answered in the bible.

950 was likely his age in years as we know years today or close. Genesis chapter 6 explains mans years were shortened to no more than 120 years. This was about the time of Noah or shortly after. Diseases obviously had no manifested nor genetic issue which shorten life.
