Religion is the ancients answer to the unknown, and should be consigned to history…it has no place in modern thinking. Religion is also mutually exclusive to pure science, and in these enlightened ages, it offers nothing more than contradictions. It has served its purpose, it should be let go.

Michelle, why on earth should I look at answersingenesis.com (or the Bible, for that matter) to find out about the origin of oil, or the earth, or the universe? These answers come from Science. The true test of a religious doctrine is its ability to provide a worldview that supplements Science, or exists at a different plane from that of Science, without in any way contradicting or being in conflict with Science. Any portion of the Bible that conflicts with proven Science should be discarded or, at least, not taken literally.

Pardon my grammer, when any speicies becomes sentient they then become aware there is an end to their existence. This for many can cause much worry and anxiety which are not healthy for the survival of said speicies. To remedy this anxiety over death the spiecies comes up with the belief in gods or god, this belief allows for an existence after death. This is why so many of us humans do not want to believe in science even when the truth is so easy for many of us to see and understand. It is clear that religion will go the way of the dinosaur, as knowlegde becomes easier to get more and more of us will evolve beyond the petty need for god.

For all your people who are bashing creationist, why dont you ask someone who knows a little about the subject. Read the books “answers in Genesis” and they answer all the “problems” you have came up with about why the earth can not be thousands of years old. Out knowledge of science is always changing, the bible is not. Check out this website as well for some of your answers. http://www.answersingenesis.org/

ok then… I don’t want to get involved in a huge argument where people resort to insulting each other, but I have something I’d like to share (not sure what good it will do, but here it is…)

Science can’t prove anything. Admittedly, I’m not a scientist, nor do I have a college degree, but in everything I’ve learned and been taught (by the people who would know), science can offer supporting evidence and contradictory evidence, but however much much something is tested – however flawless the experiments, methods, and instruments are or may become, nothing can be proven beyond any doubt.

In much the same way, religon can’t prove its views are true either.

So many ideas and theories created by humans have been falsified by contemporary discoveries, that it’s highly premature to suggest that anything else created by humans is solid.

At the core of both religon and science, is faith. Ultimately, you decide whether you believe something or not, and that decision is yours to keep or alter as you learn more.

In light of this, it is unjust to hold your opinion – which you arrived at by your own free will in light of all the available information – and then turn to another person, who also holds their own opinion, arrived at in the same manner and held with the same conviction, and tell them that they are hopelessly wrong. That they are stupid, uneducated, insane, bigoted, brainwashed, deluded, nutty, weak-minded, and moronic.

Ok. Now I shall leave before I annoy someone afresh.

There is absoloutly no proof of the world being 6000 years old im not the smartest guy in the world but i can prove right not it is atleast a billion years old cant prove 4.5 billion cuz im only a kid but think about things like grand canyons deltas also a great point if earth is 6000 years old why can we see up to 13.5 billion light years away..?The light woudn’t have reached us so theres some evidence also think about universe why would god create a universe 13.5 billion years before he actually got to something?Also any religouse group has no evidence there god exsists.also if there is really a god why do people die of hunger why do people drown why do people get murderd by killers why are babies killed or drown by there mothers if god exsist then he really isnt nice people always gives him credit for good things but if he created everything you should also blame him for all the bad things

The bible implies that “man” is 6000 years old. Not necessarily the earth. Isnt it possible that the earth was around for a long time before He made Adam and Eve? He never said if it was or not! Thats where faith comes in.
Radiocarbon dating is actually not foolproof. Check out the research from a few sites.
All I know is that things are crazy in America right now and we have to stand together for our freedoms and the bill of rights or we are in for a rude awakening. We should put our energy into fighting for a non socialistic/tyranic government instead of arguing with eachother on something not one of us has a clue on! Come on guys take a stand for our country or else we are up sh1t creek. check into Ron Paul in 2012 right now he is our only hope!!! peace~

Lmao 6000 years old… some people won’t stop smokin them delutional blunts . Does any believer have any proof of there “claims” ?? Any at all?? Or do u just have a bunch of storys backed up by alot of fear ? U believe because your a scared weak minded person , sorry but I had to say it , explain to me how different human races came about [african american, latino, asian] when got left adam & eve just [2] people to poplulate the earth .. Do u see where im going with this one? Lets wake up & snap out of it, fear is the most controlling emotion , and every believer fears what the bible says, that book can only rely on fear , and a god that needs to use fear and scare people into doin things is not a very good powerful god to me, if he’s sooooo powerful and loving and careing then why couldn’t he she or it find a way to make us WANT to do good by using love and no fear at all.

Wow… just wow is all I can say.

Sometimes I thank God (excuse the pun), that I live in the UK, ironically we have a Christian head of state & allot of schools are “Church Of England”, but we have a massive population of Agnostic or Atheist people.

This is at around 40% currently in the UK, so we are in no way a minority. It scares me to think of a country the size of the USA with people in office who think the earth is 6000 years old….

I try to be diplomatic & nice about it to people but unfortunately a line must be drawn somewhere.

The earth is not 6000 years old, we have so many forms of evidence it’s not even funny.

Example A = Carbon dating (scientifically proven)

Example B = Radioactive half/life decay

Example C = Evidence of ice ages in land scaring

Example D = The speed of light, then taking into account some stars are MORE than 6000 light years away.

Example E = The estimated age of our star & solar system.

I could go on….
