And for the fossil records, I find it impossible for me to believe that scientists can tell you how many millions of years old a rock is. That just sounds stupid. I know they have their equations and tests and what not, but still.

Radiometric dating for instance.

Cannot even take OP seriosuly. Your parents must be some christian fundamentalists.

 

I don't want to insult OP or anything, but "If your comment critizes my religious views without any good input, I have no problem reporting it and hopfully the mods take care of it. " worries me a bit, as ANY opposing opinion can very easily be interpretet as "critizising his religious views without any good input". The various contradictions in his post make it very easy to contradict him, so I hope this thread isn't just a trap. 

No this has been going great!!! I only said that so there was no bashing, and their hasn't been. I've read all of the comments and opinions and it's facinating to see how others think about this topic. 

As for the Carbon/radiometric dating argument: I'm not a sponge. I don't just suck up all the information given to me and spew them back at people as facts. I like to do my own research mixed in with a little common sense here and there. I realize that you can approximate the age of a rock based on layers of earth fading away caused by erosion. But nobody will ever convince me that you can say that a certain rock or fossil is 65 million years old. What makes 60 million different from 80 million? They are all estimating. They don't know exactly. So always take the scientist's with a grain of salt.

See, that's the thing with humans, we don't like unanswered questions, so we must slap a label on it until otherwise disproven. Just like right now, if I make a statement of "we are not alone in the universe, there are other intelligent life forms out there that are on equal grouns or far surpass us." but you can't say I'm wrong unless/until you can disprove it. I can make the exactly reverse statement of "we are alone in the universe, we are the pinnacle of all life forms when it comes to self awareness and intelligence" and you can't say I'm wrong unless/until you can disprove it. It's the same with fossils or God, if you can't disprove it, you are not wrong, and anything goes. You can basically come to the conclusion that we humans constantly live in the land of fantasy until we finally figure out facts like the Earth is actually a rough sphere and disproved the flat land theory.

Until proven or disproven with hard facts, it's all bullshit, that includes most of the things in the bible and God, and how dinosaurs used to look like in full color. The important thing is, are you doing the good deeds that the bible is telling you to do? Did the 10 commendment from Moses reach you? Are you nice? :) That's where it counts.
