Originally posted by cpurser: Ok, who is to say that dinosaurs weren't created at the same time as man? We have been taught by evolutionist that dinosaurs lived before man. Why do they say this? Because of carbon dating? Well, I told you before what I think of carbon dating. Also, ponder this:
Job 40: 15-24 15 "Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. 16 What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! 17 His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. 18 His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. 19 He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword. 20 The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. 21 Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh.
I know that it is hard not to get off topic on this subject, but let's try to stick to the original post. The orginal post wanted a discussion on Creation vs. Evolution, with the first question asking for proof of the age of the earth.
Could it be that the creature they were talking about was a Dragon? Bible has implemented plenty of myths into to it. I wouldn't be suprised if a 'Dragon' was one of them.
As for carbon dating; I believe it is still used somewhat, but it's shortcomings are known and it is getting used less and less. However, there are plenty of other dating techniques. Can't remember them of the top of my head, but I guess alot of them rely on half-life of a some material.
And really, why couldn't earth be old? Frankly, I don't see any evidence why it couldn't be old. If some people want to take the bible as the literal truth about the excact time of creation and when people popped into existance, ok. But you do need to provide some absolute proof to people who do not believe in a higher being. After all, how can you believe in creation when you don't believe in a creator????
