i answered the bold statement above with the explanation on time... God doesn't need to be created b/c he created time. He has no beginning, and no end. hard to grasp for us though because our universe is based on time, and so are we.
macro evolution cannot be observed.
the earth may very well be only about 6,000 to 10,000 years old. I dont know. as far as people living with dinosaurs, i would believe so. they have petrified remains and fossils of dragonflies with 3 foot wingspans, lots and lots of people who were 12' tall, and many other "giants". i would guesst that at one poitn, evertyhgin was bigger. could be something to do with the atmospheric pressure and oxygen. kind of like a hyperbaric chamber if you would. it would make everything grow bigger. if everything was bigger, dinosaurs would not have seemed quite so dangerous back then.
you read in grade school that the earth is "billions of years old"...that "dinosaurs existed before man" etc. etc. etc....and you BLINDLY believe it and think that youare being scientific. no one can prove those theories, there is no evidence to support them, yet you blindly follow them and think you are wiser tahn those that believe in God. you will believe your grade school book like it is your Bible, yet you scoff at those who actually believe the Bible. kind of hypocritical if you ask me.
not to say i blame most people for believing everythign they learn in grade school...tehy practically brainwash it into the youth these days and it is just "accepted" without question. if you would examine your own beliefs with the same critical eye that you place on those that believe the Bible, you may find that what you believe is even more crazy.
The bible is a bunch of fairy tales and fantasy written by a bunch of idiots that didn't know how to explain the world around them (ie. floods, storms, lightning, atmospheric conditions, etc.) so they made up a 'god' that was responsible all this. They also did not know how to answer the question of their existence and conception (basic human reproduction) so again, here came this magical 'god' that had the answers through 'faith' LOL...
and LOLOL @ the earth being 10,000 years old.. thankfully scientists and carbon dating procedures prove idiots like you wrong.
