How do I know that this article wasn’t written by the hand of the devil himself? (just kidding)
I do agree, however, with the statement in the article that it’s more important to agree on the rock of ages, than the age of rocks, still knowing that the rocks are inconceivably old.
Nice article. Thanks for posting.

If the amber was from North America we could resurrect a large Epicyon, Orrorin tugenensis best friend.
A what?

A disagreement over the age of the Earth is relatively minor in the whole scope of Christianity; it is more important to agree on the Rock of Ages than on the age of rocksI like it!

I swear I killed one of those after it somehow got into our house the other day. About the size of a wasp, and looking like a huge, black ant? Yep. I killed one. Probably the last living relative, too.

You have an internet connection, web browser and a favorite search engine, right? Think of man’s best friend.

I looked it up, and I still don't get it. Is this anthropologist humor that only the same would get? Sorry, I can be dense. But I'll buy one of those epicyons if you resurrect them.

“3. one of the sons of Shem mentioned in Luke, is not in Genesis (possible gap in geneology)”
In the thinking of Old Testament times, to “begat” someone simply meant to be their ancestor. So, I great-great grandfather could be said to have “begat” me without it being in error at all. It does not diminish the infallibility of scripture to say that gaps (by our reasoning) in geneologies exist.
I am curious....do you hold to a world wide flood...Noah’s Flood? It explains a great many things seen in geology.

Personally, I think that is the weakest of the arguments I posed, and when I came across it in my notes, I was surprised I didn’t call my professor on it. I’m going to ask him why this would be considered a gap, when him and both siblings cover that gap. It is true that not all geneologies are in Scripture; only those that God needed to include. But that is a good point you bring as far as the use of “begat”. I’d have to study it.
Yes, I absolutely believe in a world-wide flood. God made that clear. :-)

That makes me think of the Voight-Kampf test scene in “Blade Runner”, may have to watch that again, first time in a long time. First time ever on Blu-Ray.

I think the answer is to put all the crevo people in one room and let them go until they are all blue in the face. Blue cause I got tired of it and choked the s!!! out of them. teehee.
All I know fer sure is the more things change, the more they stay the same...

What you are doing is making us out to be fools, which is your right to do; although doing so is utterly and profoundly ignorant.You don't deserve an extra measure of deference because you say you're extra pious. The idea of a young earth is so laughable, so patently contrary to the overwhelming body of evidence, that the vast majority of Christian leaders have rejected it for the better part of 200 years. If you choose to ignore all that evidence in spite of yourself, then yes, you deserve to be made out to be fools.

And you shall continue to be ignorant. Then we have angreement.
I don’t want or need any amount of deference from you or anyone else. It is obvious that you have a disdain for Christians, and it really doesn’t bother me and I’m not claiming victem or anything like that. I wish you well, and I wish that you learn to respect those of us who do not have faith in men and our puny amount of knowledge.

Interesting that when science was attempting to discover if or not the world was flat the Bible records....”He sits on the ‘CIRCLE’ of the world.” ...Funny...it was there all the time.

Indeed. I guess it just didn't mean anything to anyone at the time. It was inconceivable, until science illuminated the truth of our place in the solar system.
Thank you, science. I don't care what the crevos say about you, you're okay in my book.

You ever read The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus The Christ? One of my faves.
Read every religious text from every religion you can find.
Then make up your OWN mind.
Fighting over religion has slaughtered hundreds of millions if not billions over the years. And after the islamites are completely destroyed, enough is enough.
You should see a doc about that splinter in your butt. It’s starting to fester.
