It was created.

Sorry, not sure what specifically you are referencing being created the "cataclysmic volcanic eruptions"?

The Earth was created 6000 years ago.

he Earth was created 6000 years ago.

I keep getting told that without evidence, the evidence keeps pointing that it was man in 'flesh' that was created about that long ago not the physical planet itself.

Blessed are those who believe and have not seen. The evidence is the Word of God.

You sound like a Muslim.

[DungeonMaster]

In what way?

Rejection of rationality. Belief based entirely on faith in the unseen. Adherence to a book accepted as the "word of God".

Much of Genesis was based on Babylonian mythology - tailored by exiled Jews of the time.

If you read more into the ‘history of Earth’ according to the Old Testament, the Earth seems to have been created about 10,000 years ago, some scholars estimate 12-15 or even 20,000, according to the Old Testament. It’s all a matter of how one interprets the text.

Deep-water ocean life was snuffed out by large amounts of plankton near the surface, blocking light and oxygen filtering down to the level of fish, which became extinct, they said.

Wow, where to start? Plankton are small animals, not plants. It's the stuff giant whales eat. So the fish died because there was too much food?

Light does not penetrate into the "deep ocean", so how did the life there know it was being blocked at the surface?

You sound like a Muslim.

Why? For quoting Jesus?

Well, since they are just your thoughts, we won't trouble you to expound on them.

OK, in reference to the charts, there is one issue I’ve been wondering about.

In the first chart, notice the spike in Co2 at year 0.

I think this spike is what has all the global warming alarmists in an uproar.

So the question is: Where did this spike data come from?
If ice cores, can year zero ice be trusted as an accurate source of CO2 measurements, or does the amount go down slightly under pressure, etc.? If this is the case, why hasn’t an effective argument been offered?

Any freepers who can illuminate me, please do so.

any mention of cavemen driving SUVs?

I have no problem with that. Except there is nothing rational about evolution so belief in an unseen God or an unseen, unproven and unprovable "natural process" is the same kind of faith.

All of Genesis is based on the thoughts of the Holy Spirit.

Oh my, now I have been told these very words before so there is nothing new about you under the sun. Who are the 'we' you speak for, hearing voices????

[Jim Verdolini]

I thought temperature increases always led CO2 increases???
