I have faith, I also have the intelligence to know the is a lot more to it than what the Bible holds. If they had space.com or National Geographic back then maybe they would have been more detailed. The frame of reference used in writing the narratives was time/knowledge based. The flood may well have been local in scope but globe in perception. The Roman’s used to think the “world” was their empire. The dates at the end of your post to be from the creationist sites. It could be that some local catastrophic event became the narrative that passed down the line, maybe it occurred much earlier, who knows.
I don’t hold the over simplified explanation that the Creation Scientist hold. I had a minister friend who was also a geologist by trade, he’s the one I got the “Jesus Flintstone” line from. He used to hate those publications that would show man, much less Christ petting Brontosaurs. I got my take from him many years ago. If you truly believe in an all powerful and all knowing God, he can make anything he wants, and time he wants, anyway he wants. To turn your back on or dismiss obvious results is ignorant and an insult to the very power you say you worship.
To me the work you and other scientist do does not prove or disprove God as fact. Like I said that’s too easy anyways. If God was sitting down and showing ID to everybody then there would be no point.
When I look at the complexity of a double star system, the beauty of a nebula, the majesty of the mountains, the mysteries of the deep ocean, mind knows what I have read of the mechanics and properties, my heart and my faith tell that it is good for me to enjoy the gift...
Thanks for the good reply.
