I never said the earth was 6,000 years old did I? The earth could be 700,000,000,000,000 years old and it couldn't matter to me because ultimately God created it regardless.

Science suggests otherwise
-
Science is based on what humans think they know
-
Its based on what reality presents to us.
-
And reality is based on what we surround ourselves with.

Do you believe gods word is correct, because the genealogical timeline of gods words shows the world being that age. If not then you are picking and choosing what to believe.

Nowhere in the bible does it say the world is 6,000 years old. There was that gap between the moment of creation and the recording of events. Or you may not be able to handle this one, what if science is wrong? What if the world is 8 thousand years old and our carbon dating is just theories and all data returned by method of carbon dating is wrong because it lined up with a theory and collection of numbers made up by narrowminded humans who thought they were smarter than they are. You can't handle that one can you? I can tell you why. Because it either isn't what you want to hear or it doesn't line up with what you've been told your whole life. That's always the two reasons why someone would disagree with what they are told.

Edited by Jack: 3/19/2015 7:36:37 PMThat's why we do not only use carbon dating, we use radiometric dating which has hundreds of different methods that all produce the same thing. But if it is wrong science will accept it. You have to find the evidence [u]then make the claim[/u]. Not make the claim, [i]then find the evidence[/i]

That's not how faith works and you know it.
-
Yes, and I don't trust anything by faith if evidence suggests otherwise
-
So tell me what caused you to lose faith?
-
Having an open mind
-
I'm confused.

I asked questions and the answers to those questions we're logical and didn't include god. Nothing pointed to god. As I looked further and further their is no need for a creator at all, the answers and the truth were in science, then I read the bible and noticed all of the contradictions and fallacies.

The world will do absolutely everything it can to convince you God isn't needed or necessary which is a lie from straight from the mouth of satan. Satan plays on this world, what it knows and what it does then presents things in a way that will convince you of what you now believe. Ecclesiastes 1:17-18 NLT 17 So I set out to learn everything from wisdom to madness and folly. But I learned firsthand that pursuing all this is like chasing the wind. 18 The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief. To increase knowledge only increases sorrow.

You are not realizing [u]I don't take the bible as a fact nor as reliable information.[/u] you can quote it as much as you want, I don't take it literally. Its is not proof. The devil has no proof neither does god. I was in a church for many years. Asking questions is not a bad thing. Evidence and facts are not the devils doing they are reality.

No, what it says is "too much wisdom can lead you away from God." You'll look back on your collected knowledge and want more of it because when you know things you tend to be proud and pride isn't of God and then think none of that knowledge ever pointed to God because you see only what you've read and none of it ever mentioned God. Science can dull the mind of truth rather than teach.
