What do you mean by what is the name of my group?

I'd be embarrassed too if I belonged to some wacko cult.

Maybe it's the "Church of Fred Flintstone" or something.

So, who do you espouse to be wiser than the God of the Bible?

No one. He was wise enough to use metaphors and literary devices to tell stories that even imbeciles could understand. SOME imbeciles didn't figure it out, they think the numbers were literal throughout the bible. Those people are called cultists.

Name a Christian group which says the earth is millions of years old.

The Roman Catholic Church and every other real Christian denomination acknowledge that the earth is not 8000 years old, but much much older.

Did the people in the bible ride on dinosaurs? Or just eat them? Did they have those little stone cars like Barney Rubble? Did Fred Flintstone really work on that dinosaurs' back at the quarry? Do you "chosen" ones have these answers? Inquiring minds want to know....

Well you must be embarrassed because I still haven't heard the name of your group.

And by the way, "Chosen" refers to Jesus choosing me or anyone else who believes in Him. If you have a hard spot with that, take it up with HIM.

I find it interesting that you haven't really had any answers. You have gone into attack mode. I have a problem with your comments claiming an old earth. You say the Bible backs you up. But, does it? I think that you are using modern science to interpret the Bible. If the scientists say that the earth is billions of years old, and they have "proof", then the Bible's days must actually be symbolic and not literal. As a Christian, shouldn't you look to the Bible first? And look at fallible man secondary?

I know that it is hard for people to believe in what we can not see or understand. Science gives people something to hold on to. But, if you start by saying the Bible doesn't really mean 6 days, but each day was millions of years, then what else in the Bible can be re-interpreted using science? I believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God. I don't need science to explain it to me.
