Those ones shouting SIMP all over the place, do they understand what is it to be a man

They think being a man is having just only a pennis, they dont undrstand the provider part.
So because the man is the provider, the woman should just become a liability and a leech and a parasite that doesn't bring anything to the table? Even the Bible says God said, it is not good for man to be alone, I will make a help meet for him. Do you know what helpmeet means? Even the lion in the jungle, lionesses help to hunt down prey. A man is a provider, a woman is the supporter of the provider. If she's not supporting him to fulfill his role in any way, then that equation is wrong. This rubbish statement below is why some women have turned themselves to parasites in a marriage, golddiggers that are just there for the benefits, they don't contribute to the process of the family's success. A successful marriage is teamwork. And it takes a team to make a team work.
But your wife’s money is not meant for you to spend.Don’t even think of it. Don’t make plans for it.

Science/TechnologyRe: 125-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Found Buried By A Volcanic Eruption In China by Openbusiness: 12:12pm On Sep 22, 2020
FunFact:
You just wrote a long paragraph that didn’t debunk anything I said at all.
First; If you read properly you would see where I said the Israelites stole the story.

Second; Your bible implied all of life forms and Noah's settlement took place in the middle East. Don’t even try to justify with Science, as science notes it all began in Africa. There are no evidence of an old man carrying animals to the middle East from Australia, the Amazon and countless Polynesian Islands then brought them back again. How would that even be possible? use your common sense here. How did he preserve and replant all the freshwater plants that flooding by seawater would have killed (or the sea life that freshwater would have killed…can’t have it both ways.
Also,there are evidences that the Egyptian empire had continued to flourish during the time the Noah's flood is said to had happened. The Middle East and Isreal share the Mediterranean with Egypt, so if the flood did happen I believe Egypt would have been affected.

Third; The “Ark Encounter” in Kentucky is pretty good evidence against it, at least, the boat part, as it had to be built with heavy equipment by hundreds of people, is only standing because of a steel and concrete foundation, and needs major air conditioning just to keep its visitors from overheating/sufficating, something ten million+ animals would need even more…and none of which was available thousands of years ago.


Fourth; On the other hand, geologists overwhelmingly insist there was never a great worldwide flood at any time in human history. They point out that there is not enough water to create a worldwide flood like that portrayed in the Bible or in the earlier Epic of Gilgamesh. Historians point out that civilisations such as in Egypt and China continued to prosper right through the time attributed to the biblical flood, entirely unaware that they were supposed to be drowning. Anthropologists point out that Australian aborigines have lived on their continent for around 60,000 years, cut off from the rest of the world, yet they survived. There is ample evidence that Noah’s flood never occurred.

Fifth; You’re only proving my point. With the amount of water contained on earth, no global flooding could possibly to rise 1000ft above sea level. There are plenty of hills that are 1000ft above sea levels and people at that time would easily migrate to these hills making them 100 times safer than some one on a wooden boat.

Sixth; Partly true, at the height of the last ice age, there was so much glacier ice stranded on top of continents that sea level was 120 meters lower than today worldwide. When those glaciers melted at the end of the last ice age, between 12,000 and 8,000 years ago, sea level rose and flooded seacoast villages around the world. In a few places, there is a shallow shelf separating a basin from the world ocean. The Bosporus in Turkey is one such place. When sea level was low, the Black Sea was cut off from the world ocean and evaporation dropped sea level far below the lip of the ledge. When the world ocean rose to overtop that lip, the Black Sea basin would have flooded almost instantly…a legendary story that would be passed down for millenia. There may even have been a wise man who watched the Mediterranean Sea encroach upon the spillpoint and realized what was about to happen. I know I would have put it together and seen it coming. Then formed a story about it claiming it was magical. Sure.

I could go on and on. For every “supporting fact” for the Great Flood there is a far superior everyday physically plausible explanation.
In summary, science does not disprove magical stories. Science needs only prove that magic is unnecessary to explain the facts. Common sense takes us the rest of the way.
I debunked ALL your claims. You claimed the Israelites stole a Mesopotamian fable. Ok, in the ancient Ambrahamic world, which civilization existed first between Canaan and Mesopotamia? The very garden of Eden where Adam and Eve lived was in Canaan. And since Adam and Eve are the first of our kind of mankind, then Canaan is the oldest civilization known to man. Yet you think and claim the ancient Israelites stole a story of Noah's flood from the Mesopotamians huh Lol grin The Sumerian civilization is part of the bronze age civilization. Human migration began from Eden and spred everywhere. But by geographic positioning, it is obvious the ancient Egyptian civilization began much earlier than Mesopotamia because people will have spread to Egypt quicker before ever crossing into Mesopotamia. So for me, by deductive reasoning, it is very clear Human civilization in the ancient world progressed like this:
Canaanite civilization --> Egyptian Civilization -> Mesopotamian civilization
Now, where did Abraham, the patriarch of Israel come from? He was from Ur, of the Chaldees (or Chaldeans). Gen 15:7 He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it." So therefore, Abraham was a Babylonian originally from the region of Mesopotamia. Then he migrated to Canaan. The Chaldeans are considered among the last set of people to migrate to Mesopotamia. The Assyrians got there first. The Chaldeans (aka Babylonians) came after. Abraham was a Chaldean. The Bible talks about the ancient Egyptians, Chaldeans, Assyrians. Mesopotamia = North Mesopotamia (Assyrians) + South Mesopotamia (Babylonians or Chaldeans..) Per Mesopotamia, the Chaldeans and Assyrians are accounted for in the Bible, but no where were the Sumerians mentioned. Why? It is either because the Sumerian civilization DID NOT EXIST at this period OR (the very interesting part grin) Sumerians are Chaldeans... grin! And this second part is actually true. The Sumerians are Chaldeans or from Chaldees or Babylonians. Now the Israelites came from Abraham who was a Chaldean and then you say they copied the story from them, lol, there was no copying. It was an undeniable event that was common knowledge because only Noah's family survived to.pass the story down to the world.

2)As per garden of Eden,

Genesis 2:10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah (son of Cush), where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

As you can see, the Bible provides very specific info and clues to Eden's location and from those clues it is clear that Eden is located somewhere around today's Middle-East, and it is also VERY CLEAR that Mankind began from Africa because today's Middle East is actually or was actually formerly North-East Africa (or a part of North or North-East Africa) before the Continental Drifts occured in the world. It was the Continental Drifts that separated the Middle-East from North Africa and put it together with South Asia today. So the Bible is 100% accurate about where humanity began from. The land of Cush is ETHIOPIA. Tigris and Euphrates flow through modern day Iraq and Syria. The whole land or region was the land of ancient Canaan, so Eden was a part of Canaan, and Canaan was originally a part of North-East Africa.

3) the idea behind the massive destruction per human casualties is not by the idea that there were hills or mountains they could have climbed to survive. The idea of the catastrophic fatality is that the event caught man kind unawares. And that's why we have all sorts of technology deployed across the world today to monitor the earth for signs of impending disaster like earthquakes, hurricanes, Tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, mud slides etc, so that those events don't catch people unawares to be able to mitigate the fatalities that result from such disasters. Noah's flood.caught people unawares, by the time they realized what was going on, it was too late, the constant rain had already triggered a huge flood. Noah warned them but they didn't believe. Then Noah's ark landed on mount Ararat, which is in Turkey. I'm wondering where you got your Australia from, lmao grin. Genesis 8: 4 "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat The flooding was specific to the world of humanity as per extent of migration #1, and then extent of human genetic corruption #2, but I don't have time to go into all the details. Egypt was affected by the Flood. Australia didn't have any aborigines at this time. Don't be fooled. Everybody migrated from Africa, even the Australians of today, their original ancestors came from the Canaanite civilization. Then of course Egypt was affected. It was Noah's son that re-settled and rebuilt Egypt after the flood. Ham rebuilt Egypt after the flood. Psalm 78:51 He struck all the firstborn of Egypt, the virility in the tents of Ham.. Psalm 105:23-27 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham. Notice here that Egypt is specifically called the land of Ham. And it was the Ham that was the son of Noah. Psalms 106:21 They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt, 22 miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. Notice here also, Egypt is called the land of Ham, and then you have the Red sea that further reinforces it as the same Egypt we know as Egypt. The Red Sea is synonymous to Egypt. So as you can see, it was Ham, the Son of Noah (Genesis 9), that rebuilt Egypt and it was called the Land of Ham. That was the initial slogan for Egypt in the ancient world. So nothing like other civilizations in China, lmao, China didn't exist yet. The Australian aborigines came from Asia, and all the Asians came from Africa, so how can you say they were not affected, when the flood centered around North Africa and the Middle-East zone. And nobody was living in Australia at that time. Human migration hadn't progressed that far yet. Ham became the new father of the Canaanites, because Adam was the first. Abraham came from Shem's lineage. Another son of Noah. So the Mesopotamians came from this angle. So it was through Noah that the world was repopulated again. The old population was wiped out in the flood. This is the reality. Everyone alive today came from Noah. Noah is everybody's "ancestral grandaddy" grin

RomanceRe: Is My Girlfriend Trying To Defraud Me?.... Matured Minds Please Help! by Openbusiness: 10:44pm On Sep 21, 2020
TheAviator2000:
I have a situation going on in my life right now with the woman that I love and i need your perspective in this situation.

To give you some background, my girlfriend and i have been together for almost 5 years in a mostly long distance relationship as i left the country after the first year of meeting her. When I finally found my feet abroad, I started sending her about 40k every month as upkeep money even without her asking. I have been consistently sending her this upkeep for about a year now and have never asked nor received anything in return.

Few weeks ago, my girlfriend mentioned that she needed a shop to expand has fast growing business as working from home is no longer convenient and she is beginning to loose customers as a result of that. I was really happy to hear that and promised to give her my support.

She eventually found a store that cost about N300k per annum and indicated that she had saved about 240k and needed about 150k from me to cover the remaining rent fees, agency fees, admin fees and minor renovations. I pledged to send her the money this week and as a man of my words, i intend to send it.

However, somethings did not sit right in with me and I inquired to know how she was able to save 240k as she had never ever mentioned having that type of money saved up. Before i sent her monthly upkeep money (40k), i always inquired to know how she was doing financially and there has never been a time where she mentioned she was saving money or have 240k saved up somewhere. As a matter of fact, she has never indicated to have more than 10k at any point in time

To end my doubts, i asked her send me a screenshot of her bank statement showing the savings and this made her really upset to the point of going into a rant about "lack of trust" in the relationship. Mind you, i have never asked her to send her back statement before and have never been the type to distrust the things she said as she has never really given me any reason to. I have always been supportive and the one time I actually needed some "assurance" to quell my doubts, she wasn't able to provide it.
At this point, I feel there is some level of deceit on her part to get some money from me.

I also asked her to send me picture of the store and she said she didn't take any picture when she went to check it ...

Last week, i told her to apply for a passport and wanted to send her like 80k to do that as my goal was to facilitate her eventual relocation to join me but on Saturday, she told me that she prefers the money goes into getting her store set up and she can always apply the passport with the money she makes from her store... hmmmm

To be honest, i am really upset and slightly depressed because I come across people back home trying to "job" me for cash but never thought it would come from my inner circle.

At this point, i have mentally moved on and after i send that 150k, i will block her everywhere and move on with my life. ... That is honestly how i feel right now
She's not trying to job you, though she is not being completely honest. Girls or gf generally when it comes to big money demands, cuz they want to make it look like they are serious and not wasters or jokers that don't have any plan, if they need 500 naira, they won't ask you for the complete N500, to avoid looking like a liability. Instead, they will tell you something like, the money is N1800 but she has been able to save (or raise) N1,300 and she needs N500 to complete it. By asking this way, you will take her more seriously as someone with a serious plan to better herself, a woman willing to work and not sell herself for money etc.. It will ginger her bf to support her. Na old trick. She told you she saved the money cuz she wants you to feel like she is not a waster and she has been responsible with the money you have been sending her and managing it well. She juz dey use style to hype herself. D fact she is forming offense when u said she should show her account proves she might not have any money like that, and the actual rent (if true) she needs is the 150k. Whether she wants to actually rent shop or not, I can't tell. And I can't call her a liar because I don't know her before. But you are the one that knows her and can.be a better judge on whether she is the swindler type of gf or the responsible type. If you haven't caught her doing such bad thing, then just assume that it's either she actually really wants to rent a shop, OR she has put herself in a problem that she wants to use the money to solve but she is afraid to tell you the problem. It might not be her direct problem, it could be her immediate family. That's the way I see it. You can help her, but talk to her more and try to get her to open up. Tell her she can trust you with anything and you won't condemn her if she opens up. No need to block her or cut her off because of this. For you to be already planning how to help her relocate abroad means you have already seen some good character in her. Don't let little miscommunication gap end what is good. Patience is required dealing with women we love that is a genuine person with good character. Na dem dey give man headache pass.

walessssss:
I wonder why it is very difficult for people to see these are nothing but lies , afterall science itself support critical thinking. MRI is a SCIENTIFIC solution employed by fifa in determining footballers age , still yet age falsification still rocks the game.
If MRI is not accurate in discovering the age of a living person ? Then how did you want me to believe that crap called carbon dating is accurate? Does it means if it's scientific then it's 100 percent reliable ?

I'm not disputing that the earth has been here for a long while probably billions of years but I will never believe one bone was duged out of the earth even if it exist for just a hundred thousand years . Kindly google carbon dating flaws .
Lol, I get you very well. Carbon dating is not accurate beyond 50K years. They don't use carbon dating to predict the age of the earth, they use radioactive (or radiometric) dating. The thing is those figures are estimates, not pinpoint 100%. But they are reasonable estimates within the exact time frame, so they are actually accurate. Radioactive dating of meteorite rocks to predict the age of the Earth is just one aspect. But the main physics that verifies it beyond reasonable doubt is the sun, through the physics of understanding that the sun is like a burning nuclear reactor and it will eventually burn out. Then by radioactive measurements, the sun is estimated to have a lifespan of about 10 billion years. Another thing we learn from science is that without the sun, this planet Earth cannot support life. So life cannot exist here without the sun; if the sun burns out, then life on Earth will come to an end. From the radioactive investigation of the sun, it is estimated that the sun has reached about half of it its lifespan. And this further proves that the radioactive dating figures for the estimated age of the planet Earth being about 4.6 billion years old is accurate. But the confusion for some people is that they think the age of the earth and the age of humanity is the same. No it's not. This world has been existing long before we came to existence. And personally, (can't prove it beyond reasonable doubt, and some people might think I am crazy grin), but my view is our humanity is not the only humanity that ever existed. I think there was another humanity that existed before ours. That is to say, our kind of mankind is not the only man that ever existed. I think there was another man that existed long before us but later became extinct. But we are the first man or the first humanity or first mankind to exist in God's image. There will be another mankind in God's image when this world ends. The new mankind in the new Earth, but with a celestial body, not the type of flesh body and weak body we have. A new man with a "superman" kind of body that cannot die or feel pain or be injured etc.

FunFact:
Also, I hope you know the myth of Noah's Flood was a plagarized Sumerian tale. Many cultures existing thousands of years before Christainity already had a story of a worldwide flood. The Israelites stole the story from the Mesopotamians; we’ve found their version of the tale that predates the Bible’s account. The Mesopotamians did live in a land that depended on flooding for the fertility of the land; they were highly dependent on this destructive force and it played a large part in their folklore.And the Babylonian version.

The great flood Babylonian version:https://www.livius.org/articles/misc/great-flood/flood3/

https://earth.usc.edu/~stott/Catalina/Mediterranean.html/Mediterranean.html

There’s no scientific evidence for a global flood ever happening.
There is no geological proof & no biological proof whatsoever to support this, instead there are evidence against this ever happening.

1.other ancient civilizations around at the time didn’t notice

2.nowhere for the water to come from or go to after

3. animals somehow traveled from Australia and the Americas to the Middle East

animals somehow traveled back without leaving any record

4.no evidence of human cities being destroyed

5. no evidence of a massive plant or animal die off
6.no evidence of modern sea creatures left on land
7.no massive and universal silt deposit or erosion events in rock strata
8.no evidence of human and animal genetic bottlenecks, especially not any occurring simultaneously across all species
9.insufficient room to house animals on the ark
logistics for feeding animals impossible, especially carnivorous animals

10.With maths;The most rainfall recorded was 12 inches for an hour in Holt, Missouri.
12 (inches of rain per hour) X 24 (hours in a day) X 40 (days) = 11,520 inches divided by 12 gives you 960 feet.
there are plenty of places located above 960 feet above sea level. There was no need for an ark as all the animals and humans who lived in, or could evacuate to, a small hill would have survived this flooding. And that's assuming there was no evaporation, water leveling or water run-off during the whole ordeal.

There was no water added to this planet to create that flood (we have the exact same amount of land mass today that we had before the "flood"wink, and the water used would have to take away from water sources in the ground. So bodies of water would have given up a lot of their levels in order to create the clouds which would cause such drastic rainfall on a global scale.
Plus, such rainstorms would have been more of a hazard to anyone on ships or arks out at sea as opposed to people who are just getting very wet on these hills.
Noah's Flood is a Myth as how huh Then you say the story waa stolen and it predates Christianity, lol grin, was Noah a Christian or a Judaismic Jew, was there anything like Christianity in the world then..... smiley? I can already pick many holes in your theory. Try to research more but with an open mind, not a mind that already has some preset prejudices or bias. But for a start, marine archeologists have already discovered evidence that supports the occurrence of a great flood that happened in the world. But due to the nature of science, they just don't or can't specifically say it was Noah's flood. But the timing matches Noah's era, so whether or not they fully acknowledge it as Noah's flood doesn't matter, the flood happened.
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2000/sep/14/internationalnews.archaeology
Then as for your theory of global flooding, your idea is fundamentally flawed and that is why you missed it and mixed things up. Let me explain to you. Human beings did not originally appear in all the different zones or continents in this world from the beginning of our existence. Even science knows this. Human beings originated from a fixed position or point on Earth, then we migrated to other parts of the world gradually as our population began to expand. At a point in our existence, we had not populated all the regions in this world. And such was the situation in the time of Noah. At this period, humans were not "global" yet. We were yet to span the entire Earth. So when the Bible talks about the world being flooded, it was not the entire geographical world in actual sense. It was the world of humanity. The flood covered the geographical location that the human population had expanded to, and so it was actually some part of the world that experienced the flooding, not the entire world. Then your idea about the rain measurements for rising water levels is also flawed. You see, science tells us that about 2/3 of the planet is made of water. So basically, you don't really need an ocean of rain to cause a catastrophic flood. You just need some steady and consistent heavy rainfall and it will trigger the flooding. Because the flooding isn't going to come from the rain water. NO! The flooding will come from the rising ocean/ sea water levels. The ocean / sea water levels in this planet has a tipping point where if reached, then the world is in serious trouble and capable to be sank underneath. Science tells us this and that's one of the major reasons they keep shouting and raising alarm about global warming. Because the hotter the planet gets, the more the polar ice caps of the world melts and the more they melt, the more the ocean / sea water level rises that if left unchecked can cause a catastrophic global flooding that can destroy the world. Hence, science is pushing us towards green energy to reduce the ozone depletion and other man-made pollution that increases global warming. And speaking of polar ice caps, the planet has a huge concentration of ice at the poles, hence called caps, these ice caps are directly connected to the ocean / sea water levels. If they melt indiscriminately, they can cause rising water levels that can cause catastrophic flooding. And this was what happened in Noah's world, or the world of man during Noah era, or the part of the world that humans had migrated to and had covered. The constant rain wasn't the source of the flooding, the constant rain TRIGGERED the flooding. Do you know that there's a part of the ice glaciers in the world called DOOMSDAY Glaciers? Because if it melts, then you can expect that there's going to be a catastrophic global flooding that will sink many places under the ocean, places like Lagos will be buried under the ocean forever, islands like Indonesia, and many other countries will be gone forever.

No, the bible didnt.
That's just you lying to yourself.
The Bible didn't what? Lying to myself about what huh

1) In Genesis 3, it is revealed that the serpent was classified as under the cattle grouping classification and as a beastly creature. Then it was cursed to crawl on its belly. As per cattles, they have legs, or have you ever seen any member of the cattle group without legs? Fast forward to the present age, science has proven that snakes indeed had legs before at the initial phase of their existence, but later evolved into a new form without legs. And God is so wonderful because even though that the snakes lost their legs, they still carry or retain the genetic format for it in their structure to serve as evidence to the world that they were once crawlers or cattle categorizations. So therefore, the Bible highlights evolution. That's just one example. Maybe you should research the science about snake evolution.

2) BEHEMOTH
/bɪˈhiːmɒθ,ˈbiːhɪˌməʊθ/
noun
1) a huge or monstrous creature.
"behemoths like the brontosaurus"
2) something enormous, especially a large and powerful organization.
"shoppers are now more loyal to their local shops than to faceless behemoths"

Job 40:5 (NLT) ---“Take a look at Behemoth, which I made, just as I made you. It eats grass like an ox."

I hope you know many dinosaurs were herbivores. And #1, Dinosaurs can be said to be behemoths, because they are huge creatures. #2, the scripture in Job further says the Behemoth moves its tail like a cedar. A full grown cedar tree is between 40 to 70ft tall. So obviously, the Behemoth being referred to in Job was some kind of a dinosaur. So, the Bible highlights the existence of dinosaurs.


3) The Big Bang Theory says the universe began at a single point and then kept expanding everywhere, and might still be expanding (they are not sure). The Big Bang Theory speculates that at the beginning, there was a single dot of concentrated infinite energy called a singularity, that came from a powerful explosion (Big Bang) out of which all matter was formed as the singularity kept expanding and cooling, and galaxies, planets etc and everything else in the universe derives from this. Science has proven the universe has background cosmic radiation, which proves that the starting point must have been very very hot, and nuclear explosion is befitting to match the description since radiation is involved. How does the Bible highlight this? In Genesis 1 it says the Earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Some people think the Earth in that place connotes the planet Earth. No, it is actually the universe. Because the universe is a long stretch of infinite darkness. So in reality, Genesis 1 actually is, In the Beginning God created the heavens and the universe.... Then the second part (the big one), it says and God said let there be Light (English translation), but if you read the original Hebrew, the word used or translated from is Yehi, which actually in the literal meaning would supposed to read as, And God said Let light exist. That light that came to exist is the Big Bang science has been speculating. Many get confused because it later says God separated the light from darkness, called the light day and the darkness night ...etc and then they think that light or that day = sunlight and night = night time. But it isn't, that's wrong perspective, because if you study further at that point, the Sun had not been created. It was in later aspects or points of creation that the sun and "lesser lights" were created, from which we derive night and day, which is a function of the time zone we operate or function by. So this initial "Light" that was called Day (translated) and the Darkness called Night are not the normal day time light or night time darkness. It was just rendered like that or rendered in a way that we could relate with with our understanding. Jesus came and said, He is the Light of the World, and then we are told about Jesus that, In Him was Life and that Life was the LIGHT of men. And we are further told that all things were made by him and for him. So essentially, if you study the scriptures, you will see that Light = Life and Darkness = Death. In a deeper context, they have this inference. So what was actually separated in the first part the Genesis creation, were the dimensions of Life and Death. And the Light that God said let Light exist is what science describes as the Big Bang explosion, because it was from that Light or dimension of Life that the and the Light is an infinite energy source of life energy that came from Jesus from which physical matter life for everything in existence came from. So with deep understanding of scriptures you can actually see that the Bible highlights the Big Bang theory. Some people think creation that Genesis describes is a single sequence of events. No, it is not. It is a collection of separate events that was narrated into a single description. Genesis 1:5 (English translation) goes on to say, And the evening and the morning were the first day. But if you study the original Hebrew, there is a very subtle difference that is easily missed. The Hebrew puts it in this way, And the evening was, (comma) and the morning was, (comma) first day ”. Do you notice the separation in its rendering? And for someone like me, my rendering is And Life was, and Death was, the first day = And the dimension of Life was, and the dimension of death was, the first day. I hope you know Day here is a figurative description, not the literal 24 hour day that we use. If you study further, you will realize that all through the separate events and sequence of creation, it keeps repeating that phrase, The evening and morning were the 2nd day, the evening and morning were the 3rd day, up to the evening and morning were the 6th day etc and we are then told God rested on the 7th day, there was nothing like the evening and morning were the 7th day. Because the 7th day is the realm of eternity and there is no "evening" or "night" there, there is no dimension of death in eternity. Nothing dies in that realm, it is a singular realm of Light or Life only. There is a world of knowledge underneath those letters in the Bible. So don't just be reading the letters of the Bible, or you will miss the best parts.

ggirl4real:
Many of your Christian brethren usually disagree with these kinds of discovery because they feel the earth cannot be that old since it is not written in the Bible.

To them these kinds of discoveries undermines the authenticity of the Bible so I think they are in a better position to answer your question.
Well, in this case, the "many Christian brethen" were not the ones that said this discovery makes the Bible look untrue. YOU DID! That's why my question is directed to you. Your comment suggests that your viewpoint is that the Bible looks untrue because some bones from the paleozoic era were found. Why not own up and defend your own claims about the Bible looking untrue because of this and prove it.

Our religious folks should come and say they are lieing as usual

According to them - anything that makes the Bible looks untrue is a lie
How does this make the Bible look untrue huh The Bible highlights evolution. The Bible highlights the Big Bang Theory, and the Bible highlights that this universe is very old.
