As a bio/biochem major (a long time ago), I appreciate what science has to offer in terms of absolute proof as well as theory.
Here is an interesting resource: http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/clottes/ A worthwhile read (need to click on all 8 pages) |

If it's 40,000 years old there must be some proof.
Show it! I'm not a jerk. I'm very friendly and mean no harm. Just a tiny little jab, that's all. I'm harmless. KT |
Sure let's do it again.
Are we already in re-runs? :D Why stop at the age of the earth, the age of the universe is much more fun? Guesses at best. KT |

You have no evidence.
It's no biggie, no one does. Man was created 6,000 years ago. What did you want to know about Jonah? KT |

As for jonah, go back and read |

I'm not really sure, the Bible doesn't say. KT |

is there evidence you have that man was created 6,000 years ago? |
Review world history.
Why did it just start 6,000 years ago? KT |

I think that the assumption that if something isn't a huge monument or written on stone it didn't exist is flawed. Even as late as 15th century most North American natives didn't have a written language. They had a strong oral tradition ( but you know what can happen to stories with repeated re-telling). The drawings they made were from organic pigments on skins and bark, all of which degrade readily. So, according to the 'documented history' approach, Native North Americans don't exist, or must have sprung up just before 'civilized' man found them?
I don't have scientific proof, but I'm fairly sure our native peoples have been around more than 500 years. |

The last time we had this argument someone brought up some cave paintings in France and said they were 27,000 years old.
I checked, the scientists who tested the age of the paintings came right out and said that their testing methods were flawed and not deemed credible because of the materials used to paint the pictures, but they "THOUGHT" the age was about 27,000 years old based on what everyone else was saying. LOL there's your freaking science and hard data for ya. |
The oldest living thing on this planet is a tree. It is about 5600 years old, based on what the scientists say.
These trees are capable of living for tens of thousands of years, according to the same scientists. So why is the oldest known living thing on this planet only as old as the biblical flood, even though the scientists say these trees can live many times as long as that? |

I've met many people from Australia over the years. One of them I actually liked.
The rest of them were, well they were like you. |

Actually I'm beginning to see a pattern between you religious people here. You all seem to be very aggressive when questioned about your beliefs. I can see what a peaceful bunch you really are. The only one that hasn't resorted to name calling or aggressive behaviour is Trekkor.

Even though we disagree, I thank you for seeing who I am.
Again much appreciation and thanks. KT |

How the hell did you miss the obviousness of that? Quote:
That is a highly offensive term in America when used as you just used it. Don't use it around blacks(seriously- it could get you killed) or anyone at or near the poverty line when you are here. In many cases, this is true even if you know the person well. |

He's probably going by this:
"Oldest Written Form Some people base their answer on which language got written down first. If you're counting absolute oldest, probably Sumerian or Egyptian wins because they developed a writing system first (both start appearing in about 3200 BC). If you're counting surviving languages, Chinese is often cited (first written in 1500 BC), but Greek is a possible tie because it was written in Linear B beginning ca. 1500 BC.* *Data from "Ancient Scripts of the World" (http://www.ancientscripts.com)" You can't have written history without writing, right? I am pretty sure that man predates the oldest recorded written language by a looooooong time. |

The 'scientific' evidence ( or lack thereof ) shows this to be true. Man leaves traces of himself everywhere he's been. ( litterbug! ) Before the Bible's account of creation, no litter! The evidence clearly is NOT there. Unless you include the 'seems, mights, appears to be, could be's, etc, etc' which, of course, have no real proof! KT |
You discount fossilized tools and spear points, etc?

Man was created with the abilty to think and communicate. KT |

What are your sources for man existing for 6000 years? I don't know how much more clear I can be. |

There are no living T-rexes. How do i know? Never seen one. Now go ahead and tell me there is no evidence that there are no T-rexes. |
Quote:
The evidence *should* be abundant and clear, without room for interpretation. It is NOT. Your turn:D KT |
Quote:
There is NO other alternative, however. ( one real evidence and actual proof ) It's true, we do not understand creation. It doesn't mean it is false. We may never fully understand creation. That would be OK. KT |

They are not that old, though. The rocks they are made from could be millions of years old, no doubt, but as tools...No. KT |
I'm in the middle of a really interesting marble bathroom project. Fossils in every piece.
The bathroom is not even completed, but nobody thinks it's millions of years old because the rocks are :D KT |
