clever little post push it out

Christians wrong? Haha, Still I haven't found real evidence disproving Christianity.
With the Catholics that is a gross over-generalisation. The people who have sinned will receive their judgement in all due time.
And atheists are just short-sighted. (No pun intended)
i wasnt trying to disprove christianity, only the belief that the bible is comprised solely of fact.
i assume you mean the offending priests are awaiting trial and then a nice stay at her majesty's pleasure.
What random points?
well your claim that time moves differently when it suits your purposes is one example. there is no direct evidence of this and it is something which is claimed without anything to back it up.
Your "very religious friends" must not be very bright.
I haven't lied for my faith, and i'm not walking by blind obedience.
on the contrary. some have degrees and other qualifications. while that doesnt prove they are 'bright' it is a damn good indication that they are.
yes you have lied for your faith. although that statement isnt entirely correct as you may mistakenly think you are telling the truth. at best you are lying to yourself.
Better yet search up how apes became men... or as you said, LIES haha.
im not sure if humans evolved from 'apes' but i would say we didnt. although id also say we have a common ancestor with some certainty. i would need to do extensive research to say with more conviction, where as you merely have to read the bible. i think you have the easier route mate
It doesnt stop people claiming the age of the earth through carbon dating.
they would be wrong if they did. carbon dating can prove the earth is older than the biblical age though. but carbon dating cannot be used to determine the age of something that was around before life was.
# Prepare the Plaster of Paris or cement mixture and pour into a bowl or milk carton.
# Place the object to be 'fossilised' in the mixture and press down until it is about half submerged. Stick a nail in the mixture if you want a hole to hang it from.
# Let the mixture dry.
# Remove the fossil. When it is dry, either gently take the fossil out of the bowl/carton or break the bowl/carton if needed. Pull out the nail (if you placed one in the plaster at step 2).
# Pry the object out of the bowl/carton, and you have your fossil.
# Chip the round side of the fossil to make it look more authentic.
Enjoy making your fossilises.

thats really not a fossil. that is something made from plaster. there are differences but i suppose you missed them.
I didn't personally do the tests. I got other scientists to.
yes im sure
The very essence of society was based on faith. Can you not see that? No matter who you are, you have some sort of faith, or belief.
Also, without "war" we would have a different society.
no, the state of our society is largely dependant on the effects of war throughout human history. war has played a
far more important role in our social development than that of any faiths.
without war its likely we would have no society. cooperation is derived from the need in our past for groups to work together (without internal conflict) for mutual protection and aggression against rival groups. cooperation is a direct result of our violent past, at least thats what the latest research indicates.
you quote the bible, i provide links to respected sources. take note of that.

I do not know how old the Earth is, however I believe the Bible to be correct. There is not a black and while timeline of events so I cannot tell you the exact age of the Earth. That said, it is in the vicinity of ten thousand years, maybe more maybe less, not hundreds of thousands of years.
You make out that I have lied about something? Maybe you've misinterpreted my view
i do. its around 4.5billion years old. thats about 450,000 times older than the bible and therefore you claim it is. thats quite a disparity between the two numbers isnt it
at least you are right about something for once. the world is not 'hundreds of thousands of years' old.
What is then? I'm no physicist.
However if a fossil is carbon dated and tells you it's 50 million years old, it is in fact telling you that the Earth was around then, giving you an age, to some degree, of Earth. Carbon Dating is a load of nonsense anyway.
neither am i, but i know how to find information and judge its veracity. you do not.
yes carbon dating is useful in determining age, but it can only give a date back to the point when life first appeared. carbon dating is scientific fact. you may as well say television, microwave ovens or MRI scanners are nonsense. all are based on science. you use science every day yet you dismiss it when it conflicts with your false belief in the bibles accuracy. i find it mildly funny how you pick and choose when to use/admit the reason and logic of science. mildly
both of you are wrong on many counts.
i ask any readers (of these stupidly long posts) to voice your opinions on which is most likely to be correct.
the ancient and unproven writings of the bible?
or
the work of scientists throughout the centuries who have drawn conclusions from observation, experimentation and known fact?
