Versions of Christianity? Just 1. Interpretations of the evidence are sometimes different, but the evidence remains steadfast.

All of this applies to us as well. We listen to experts, who likely know more than we do. There is evidence to back up our claims. We actually HAVE researched further. We have access to people that interpret Greek and Hebrew. They don't strike us as people who misrepresent their work. And our...

5000 years ago? 50,000 years ago? 500,000 years ago? 5,000,000 years ago? Do you see that you have a firmed exactly what I said? That you take the word of someone that has no capacity to provide the information? Yes, there are. How does that matter in this conversation? Which of those papers...

Absolutely. If the standard for time doesn't exist, how can you measure by that standard. But we do have days from day one (pun intended). And there weren't millions of years on the earth before the sun, only a few days. But days were measured against earth rotations (presumably) compared to a...

Corrected in post. thanks for the notice!

You are evidence for God. Language, and thus this forum, is evidence for God. DNA, which is encoded information, is evidence for God. Talk about denying reality.

Compared to what, a guy who can't put two sentences together, hits on little girls, and is in office mainly to fund his family's get rich quick schemes? But I guess it wasn't him that conned the American people, rather the MS Media and the Democrat party. In what way? I would agree if you are...

A year is defined as the earth going around the sun one time. No earth and no sun, no years.

Can't be 13.8 billion years old if the earth is only 4+billion years old.
