Islam, is it a religion of peace or war?

I'll bite. Why can't we tell time?

I wasn't referring to you, Man in general. We have always thought that everything revolves around us. For a being that creates everything to be constrained to time as we see it seems silly to me. Is it not possible that a day for God to be about a billion years as we perceive it?

Both have been found to be buried in the same grave sites as modern man so your point is mute.

Orly?

Dinasaurs and homosapiens buried along side each other?

I'm surprised I haven't heard about that, seems like thats a point that would have been noisy.

No sir, you have much greater faith than I. It takes much more faith to believe in evolution than to believe the biblical account. In my opinion that is...😁

It takes greater faith to rely on evidence? What?

Hold up. You threw a turd over the wall and asked "what makes you think Man can tell time?". What makes you think we can't?

Even if time doesn't exist as we perceive it, we are still measuring something. It's also worth noting, time is relative to how fast one is moving in relation to something else. It also works the same way as space. So I agree the time we experience as a series of moments moving from the future, to the present, to the past is only an illusion of what it really happening (Einstein has a lot to say about this). This can even be observed in clocks on satellites in orbit moving at extremely fast speeds.

However, that doesn't take away from the fact that we are measuring something in relation to something else. In relation to where we are now, the end of precambrian period represents about 600 million trips around the sun ago.

So, not sure what your point was.

Well the Earth isn't flat anymore so maybe the church will come around to the idea that it isn't 6,000 years old either.

I'm not looking for a "gotcha" moment here, nor am I trying to shake anyone's faith, but how does a flood lead to the extinction of dinosaurs that lived in the oceans? Not all dinosaurs were land animals. Plenty lived in the seas. So, IMO, that seems to support some other cataclysmic event leading to extinction.

I don't believe in a young Earth personally. I think the Earth is old. But if you're looking to explain time, I think that can be accounted for Biblically.

Seven days in God's time does not have to equate to seven days in man's time.

Not evidence, but the faith it takes to believe evolution. There is zero credible evidence to support evolution.

Credible according to whom? Because plenty of people with relevant backgrounds in science disagree, and I have a feeling we're only a post or two away from you referencing a Hovind video.

Why are your sources more credible than, you know, actual scientists?

God is my source and he gave me a book and explained it all. It's called the Bible...😁

If god created everything in 6 days and rested on the 7th, what do you suppose he did on the 8th day?

The question was mostly directed at the thread but since you answered, ok. I was just wondering what God’s Monday mornings consisted of.

I enjoyed the question very much. I was very amused and intrigued by the question.
