That's good. It's just that people love to use science as absolute truth and grasp to what the evidence points to... until we observe that view was wrong and then on to the next theory to be absolutely true. (Obviously people won't say science is absolute truth but if you observe how they talk they usually don't acknowledge the possibility of their views or beliefs to be wrong just like religions due)

As for Flash Gordon's statement, he acknowledges science will be off sometimes... yet he still seems to believe it... funny how usually those people don't allow the same to religion.

Because one is the word of man, and one is the word of God, i.e. supposed to be perfect by definition. God's word is held up to a much higher standard; perfection. If ONE thing is wrong, then it's all wrong, period.

To answer your original question -

Non-Christians are not always educated to the reality there is a lot of diversity of though among Christians. There are things debated across denominations, theologies, and more. One of them is Young Earth versus Old Earth. In essence how old the earth is. I am around 85% on the Young Earth side.

How? I do not put my faith in carbon dating. I remember being in public school (very liberal and anti-Christian beliefs that are taught), and they told us it took millions of years for the Grand Canyon to be created. Then Mt St Helens erupted in my area and gouged out a valley in a few minutes. It has all those layers and according to science it would have taken thousands to millions of years for that to happen. Yet we watched on video and it happened over the span of minutes to hours. So that made me question other things science taught.  Especially when we talk theory and not fact. A fact is gravity. Evolution is a theory. Difference is the fact has been tested, and proved to be reality every single time. A theory has not been proven, and the longer a theory stays around unproven - well the less likely it is true.

I also read quite a bit on both sides of issues related to faith and science. There have been many frauds perpetrated upon the public over the years. Some of those frauds are taught in school books as fact. The Bible Answer man had that in one of his books. I verified he was right by checking my own school books when I was in school. Cave men were one of these. I do believe normal humans lived in caves - like David when he was hiding from Saul.

I do believe humans and dinosaurs lived together. We have all kinds of myths about dragons. Humans have hunted a variety of species to extinction, so it is certainly plausible our ancestors killed them off. Another theory is they were not put on Noah's Ark. There are also reports from a variety of countries of dinosaurs existing there in this day and age.

When it comes to fossils I laugh as "scientists" claim to know what their skin was like, and what colors they had, and if they had feathers or not. All from some bones that we put faith in them to put together right. There has been a long history of mistakes made in terms of fossils. From having the T-rex stand wrong to mixing pig and ape bones. How can we know they put things together right? Either we put faith in them or we don't.

Speaking of things we do not know for sure. How long did Adam and Eve stay in Eden? It may have been thousands of years, or millions of years. We have no clear picture on how long they lived there. Sin had not yet entered the world. So it was a different place. A place we may not be able to fully comprehend on this side of eternity.

There are interesting aspects that Old Earth (millions of years old) proponents can not answer. Like the decay rate of the moon, or why wasn't there more dust on the surface of the moon.

DNA exposes how messed up the belief in evolution is. The computer programs written into DNA are insanely complex - more so than we can write today in our technology age. No scientific way that is random. No transitionary species ever found, horse sizes that contradict the theory, and on and on.

I do find it humorous to see you being called ignorant for asking questions and not blinding believing in the religious belief of evolution.
