that degree would most likely be in some sort of geology related.. if you're discussing billions of years one would probably need an understanding of astronomy to be able to determine how old something is [using light years].
The universe is only meant to be apx. 17 billion years old. Our planet is apparently about 5.2 billion years old. The fact that you say 20 shows that you do not have a grasp on the subject at all.
Utter nonsense. The scientific tests they use to determine the date of things have been proven to be credible. Your saying it's purely based on imagination and assumption is just wishful thinking. I am sorry science scares you so much.
There is no evidence that disproves it. All I have seen that attempts by creationists to undermind it by nitpicking science and then taking it out of context in an attempt to fool Jo public. This is call propoganda.
huh? that strikes me as a very foolish thing to say but I will indulge you.
If that were true there's be no human species as they'd be no family bonds. We are a very cpo-operative species and rely heavily on relationships, community and social interation.. this in itself proves people love eachother. When babies are born they a completely powerless.. [unlike other primates- human babies can't even roll over or lift their heads] they depend completely on the bond with the mother to survive. That maternal bond and others are what human beings call 'love'.

a light year is a distance not a time.
also its been proven that light can be sped up and slowed down they did it in a lab. and since you have no idea what "dark energy" can do or if there is anything else out there that can manipulate light, you cannot come to a logical conclusion on how old the universe is based on star distance.

according to this link the earth is only 4.5 to 4.6 billion years old. so maybe you dont have a 'grasp' either.
oh please, we can already see what this is doing to people with the whle life on mars topic. people are already trying to make up stuff that simply isnt true about life on mars. they try to take a picture NASA took and digitall enhance it making it appear the way they want it making it look like there is life on Mars when there isnt. and some of those people have been caught dead in their tracks.
and just like alot of these natural remedys doctors dont tell us about... like the cure/prevention for cancer, warts, diabetes, etc.... as well as the addition of harmful chemicals to vitamins (ie led). cause people to get sick so drug companies can continue to make their money.
and the same with the evolutoin theory, scientists as well as the ACLU and atheist organizations try to make this theory seem like its the only theory feasible and that their is no other explanation.
why? teachers have been fired just for handing out news articles disproving what their textbooks are teaching. examples: hackles drawings of the human embryo(false), stalactites and stalactmites (do not take millions of years to form), life spontaneously generating (impossible). etc etc...

oh we do eh? people do the same thing to the bible as well.
but here is the thing, if evolution is the way it happened and we just arent getting it, maybe you could explain to us in a more understandable way that is less confusing. start with the big bang (the beginning).
unlike other primates? im sure there are plenty of animals that when born cannot survive on their own and have to be pampered...
and if we evolved from these lower primative states, why cant we survive on out own? thats almost like a downgrade...
doesnt prove a thing. you still cant prove to me that your lost ones loved you or that you loved them. just because you see evidence in other people doesnt mean that it occured in your life. (not attacking you im making a point, please dont take this last statement personal)
there is so much stuff the evolution theory cannot explain and some attempts have been proven wrong, yet they still use it.
and when other christian scientists come up with stuff that either supports creation or is disproving to evolution, they either get fired or their information just happens to never make it out of the laboratory. hmmm sounds very fishy!
I will never try to spread my religion to anyone.
A light year is a measurement of how many years light takes to travel from one point to another.
Well yeah you can.. you can also predict where black holes, suns, planets/planetary orbits etc. are by the way it bends.. and guess what else you can predict? The age of the universe [from the big bang].
Oh no! I was off by under a billion years or so..
[I didn't even look at the site you gave so I trust you that it's current info..]
Have no idea what you're talking about and it's not relevent to the discussion. We are talking about lab testing on earth minerals.. not rover images.
and just like alot of these natural remedys doctors dont tell us about... like the cure/prevention for cancer, warts, diabetes, etc.... as well as the addition of harmful chemicals to vitamins (ie led). cause people to get sick so drug companies can continue to make their money.
wrong forum.
Currently there is no other viable scientific theory with any scientific evidence to support it.
So let me get this straight.. they got fired for handing out creationist 'news' articles [propoganda] and pro-life panphlets showing [possibly] bloody embryos? I'm not surprised. Parents like their kids to be educated.. not indoctrinated.
What.. say the bible is not a credible source of scientific facts? How unreasonable..
ToE does not include the big bang.. the subject is biological evolution not astronomy. It starts after abiogenesis.
yeah and there are many that cannot, whats your point?
Many can walk around only hours after birth.
Not a downgrade.. we forfeited one strength for another. Intellgence means a bigger brain meant a bigger skull.. if our bodies matched it in proportion we would be too large to give birth to.
You're still not making any sense. So if I lose parents I couldn't be sure if we loved eachother? You're grasping at straws.. and if you are suggesting they may not have.. please do not tell me not to take it personally. You've made this ridiculous point before and I already answered it.
..and you keep pointing this stuff out and it keeps being explained to you. Just because you do not know all about or understand ToE doesn't mean it hasn't got answers to your questions. You keep making arguments against it yet it's clear you have not even bothered to even research them yourself [creationist don't count as they have disinformation].

All I can say is not everyone is meant to do all of what jesus said. All we can do is try and do the best we can.
Did you realy prove his existence?
Heres a view, perception, belief or what ever...

God doesnt change his mind, he already knows whats going to happen.
and something within our logic could be worthy of worship, especially if that something cured all cancer, AIDS, and other fatal diseases.

cop out eh? if only you could see the big picture.
maybe something in your logic, this argument is like two computes debating on whether or not man exists. of course man exists, the computer is clearly designed.
just like everything we see in our universe, clearly it is designed.
oh and btw, you are still stuck with the embarrassing problem that life cannot spontaneously generate on its own with or without intelligent forces behind it. ie humans.
and if a bunch of scientists ever got together and made life in the lab that would only prove that it takes intelligence to make life.
God gave us the cure for cancer, its in the first chapter of the bible, we just dont use it, Vitamin b17 from fruit seeds. we dont eat it because we dont feel like it, im sorry but that is our fault, not Gods.
and if you dont know about the FDA and there way of preventing disease via drug therapy... you should probably read up on that, they say that only a drug can cure a disease (this is a lie) its been proven that vitamins cure many diseases (scurvy, common colds, skin problems, etc).
notice how we do things with our technology... we use excessive amounts of estrogen to grow crops, we do not allow our lands to rest like God told us to so now we are lacking natural minerals and nutrients...
bread can now last about 2 weeks in a breadbox because of the natural suppliments we took out of that,
bread used to keep people from suffering heart attacks, bread used to be good for the heart just like the bible says.
researchers are finding substances in vitamins that are not supposed to be there, ie; led. toxins to the body that undo what the rest of the vitamin does plus is does more damage.
companies that sell cookware that no-stick teflon stuff is actually toxic to the body, all you have to do is read the back of that label to find that out. but people skip that because they dont want to learn to cook the right way.
there are a number of things wrong with us that is our fault... evolutionary scientists get everyone to believe that we are nothing more than a bag of chemicals and the only way to treat disease is to add more chemicals...
perfect example: headaches --- was is a lack of an aspirine that caused the headache? or is that just a symptom? compare to --- the oil light in your car pops on, you can either fix the problem or unplug the light. taking asprine for a headache is like unplugging the oil light in your car. yeah you took care of the symptom but eventually your body will crap out on you.
you think we dont have the answer to our own problems? our problems are our own fault. why do we have aids? someone had the sick idea of beastiality
and we also promote pornos, people having sex with a lot of people on video to make money. im sorry but I believe God said to not do that, so you still want to blame God? if you ask me, I think God knew what he was talking about when he made the rules. all you gotta do is read the bible, many of our answers are in there.
doctors used to think that if you got sick then you had bad blood. thats how George Washington died, they drained his blood and he died. but the bible says that "the life of the flesh is in the blood."
I can go on all day, you blame God for the things that are wrong in our lives but you kick him out of everything else (school, legal system, politics, court, public places) you blame God even tho you already kicked him out. how ironic!
