Having to prove the existence of God to an atheist is like having to prove the existence of the sun, at noon on a clear day. Yet millions are embracing the foolishness of atheism. "The Atheist Delusion" pulls back the curtain and reveals what is going on in the mind of those who deny the obvious. It introduces you to a number of atheists who you will follow as they go where the evidence leads, find a roadblock, and enter into a place of honesty that is rarely seen on film.

Earth is billions of years old.....fact.....even the bible never said 6k years tho
Evolution is true too
The bible only explained it from God's point of view which makes it seem like days and all that

Someone said: "If you believe the earth is 6000 years old then you deny science."

Response:

If you believe the earth is millions or billions of years old, you "believe" science. You don't "know" the age of the earth. You "trust" what you've been told by fallible men and fallible dating processes. Your convictions rest entirely on faith. See www.EvolutionVsGod.pcom

DoctorAlien:
The story of evolution and the 4-billion-year age of the earth is as ridiculous as the thinking capacity of those who still believe such a story, even after being presented with the considerable flaws associated with the dating methods, and the multiple assumptions on which such fables are based.

On the crime scene fact-data-evidence story, remember that a suicide can perfectly resemble a murder, and that many innocent people have been incarcerated based on the conclusions reached by "infallible" crime detectors.

Atheist logic:

I don't believe what someone who was there 2000 years ago said happened then.

I believe what someone who is alive now said happened 13.8 billion years ago.








Makes perfect sense.

donnffd:


First of all, someone stabbed in the back and his money and atm cards taken could be a suicide?, Really?

Secondly, which exact flaws are associated with dating methods? What i have noticed is that theists would make up anything just to counter reality

Third, even if the dating methods are flawed, atleast it makes an attempt to use experiments and measurement to accurately predict the age of the earth!, whats your alternative?, the word of some goat herders that lived over 2000years ago who ddnt even know the earth revolved around the sun and thought stars were just dots in the sky, really, dude?

donnffd:
The truth is theists have no case, the evidence is glaring, there is more evidence that the earth is flat than there is evidence for a 6000year old earth.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Evidence_against_a_recent_creation

I would suggest sane people refrain from arguing with these young earth creationists, its very similar to arguing with someone that the earth is not flat.

OLAADEGBU:


What is the truth, do you know truth if it hits you in the face? Is Wiki your evidence? There is evidence of recent creation. It is up to you to back up your claims with evidence.

jonbellion:


stop saying the earth is 6000 years old. Do you realise if that is true we aren't supposed to see starlight farther than 6000 light years?? Do you realise the speed of light is about 156000m\s which means it is finite. It is fast enough to circumnavigate the earth 7.5 times in a second but since it has a finite speed it would be slower in the vacuum of space. It takes 8 light minutes for the suns light to get to earth. That means we never see what the sun looks like in the present we always see it 8 minutes prior. Proxima centuri our second nearest star is 4 light years away from earth. That means that if proxima centuri should explode right now we wouldn't know until 4 years later. The light from the explosion would get to us four years later. The andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years from earth. We are seeing it how it looked 2.5million years ago it's present light wouldn't get to us until 2.5 million years. If there was life in the andromeda galaxy and they look at the milky way galaxy through a telescope they would be seeing it way earlier than it actually is same with us. Stop saying the earth is 6000 years old. Apart from this very obvious reason even if evolution was a lie do you know how many branches of science you'd have to ignore to harbor trust belief. They include but are not limited to
Geology
Fossil fuels
Plate tectonics- have you observed that Africa and south America seem to fit like a jigsaw puzzle. Currently the continents are still drifting apart and it has been observed by satellites
Reaction kinetics — the rate that amino acids undergo racemisation (conversion to an equal mix of stereoisomers) is a well known process that occurs at a specific rate. It can therefore be used as a dating method and has shown biological molecules to be far older than 6000 years.
Fossil fuels- I'm not assuming evolution now but I'm saying the biomass required to form coal and oil underground would take millions of years to be accumulated
Radiometric dating- it is accurate it was accurately used to detect the time mount Vesuvius erupted and engulfed the roman city of Pompeii. Since new rocks were formed from the eruption argon- argon dating was used ty calculate the date. It erupted in 79CE and the results of the rock was 1918 years before 1997 cuz that was the year it was tested. Not to mention rock brought from the moon are older than 6000 years
Anthropology- dude there are civilisations older than 6000 years The Mesopotamians are a good example. When the Abrahamic God was creating they just dey look am.
botany- The old tjkko tree in Sweden is over 9500 years old. The earth and the universe is NOT 6000 years
Stop it dude please stop saying that

What scientific or verifiable evidence do you have to show that the earth /universe is 6000 years old?

OLAADEGBU:


The same scientific evidence available to except for the fact that we interpret it differently due to our presuppositional differences.
