Young Earth creationists have a special response that can be used to get around any problems. "That's just the way that God made it."
So dinosaur bone fossils are down there not because an ancient animal died, but because God put the bones there like that.
When you carbon date something, if it's measured age is too large, then God made it already partially decayed when he made it.
There's no need to debate science, then. So why do they say science is wrong, when it does zero good? I think it's because they are morons.
Yup, that's what I was taught too. Midwest ultra conservative area. You can't argue science with them because they aren't in a science state of mind. To them science is only trying to disprove God, that's the only purpose. It wasn't until much later that I learned that science doesn't care about god, and that spirituality can ebb and flow with science.
Ahh yes, the trickster god running around with nothing better to do than bad faith tricks to getchya, completely plausible and definitely lines up with his general modus operandi from the rest of the bible!
You've put me in a situation where I feel compelled to apologize for god's actions. I don't think this would necessarily mean he was doing this to be a malicious trickster.
If he made it obvious, then you could scientifically prove that the Earth was 6000 years old, which would be proof that the Bible was the actual truth, and then it wouldn't be a matter of faith. The Christian god places faith above almost everything else, so if you take away the faith and prove god exists, that ruins everything. So to save your soul, god has to put misleading evidence so that you can still have faith.
Of course, the real reason religions need faith is because that's the tool that the religious leaders use to exert power and control over the people they're tricking. And of course, that makes young earth creationists the biggest suckers in a sea of suckers.
lol, if god just wanted faith he could just build everything as is. He's not turning up (except when he does) and proving his existence so misleading evidence is not required. A test of faith would be normal bad things happening (which he just lets happen) and believers continuing their belief in spite of it.
No, hiding misleading evidence is definitely a malicious trickster god action. Turns out Abraham's god is actually just Loki without his funny hat and wearing a beard. The funny hats he makes his reps on earth wear is evidence of this as well.
I think that if god wants faith, all he has to do is preprogram it into us.
Instead, he takes this very circuitous route where he gives us the ability to reason, which works for every topic except religion. Only for religion, we need to throw that ability to reason aside.
Who could look at this creation and see anything but perfection?
No, no, no. What actually happened was, Noah rounded up two of every creature to put on the ark in preparation for the great flood. But the dinosaurs -- who were totes alive at the same time as humans -- didn't get the memo. So, Noah shrugged and was like, "Oh well. You guys aren't going to fit anyways. Sayonara."
I was at the Creation Museum and Ark experience this past weekend. Wild place. According to them, there were dinos on the boat. Baby ones
Slartibartfast. (Probably spelt it wrong)
Had to look this one up. Hitchhiker's guide character for others like me...
Yup. He made all the fossils and carbon ratios and everything.
Here in oklahoma we have moron dating.
