It takes more than a a few thousand years for fossil fuels to form, even from dead things.

Evolution is a theory, correct, but still, explain fossil fuels!! Also, my World Hist teacher had something interesting to say...

He has a theory (which this part is facutal) that the earth accumulates significant amounts of space dust every year. I forget the figure, but it was something in the ballpark of 100 million tons/year. Granted, spread over the whole earth, that’s not much, but he thought perhaps dinosaurs were already running into problems being big with the gravity of the earth increasing. At millions of tons per year, eventually it will add up. He said this is why life that remained from that area is mostly waterbourne, where gravity mattered less, and also that now life has to be smaller because something the size of a T-Rex would collapse under it’s own weight.

I’m not sure what you mean about the electrical core... why would that mean the earth is 10,000 yrs of less? Makes 0 sense.

One more thing. So you’re saying the dinosaurs were killed in the flood? Why didn’t the dinosaurs kill the people before the flood?

I believe they were literal "days".
i believe everything the bible says is true.

Under Australian lab conditions is not natural, if I may point out.

PS(hey MH can you come in again and smash PSS’s arguments like you did on the politics and democracy thread?)

Oh and to your last post
I quote
Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

I’m not generally use to being a hammer, but thanks for the nod.
welcome
From my experience, people generally cannot convince other people when it comes to the literal/figurative creation account, Evolution vs Intelligent Design, Old Earth vs Young earth, Life on other planets vs. Lone Earth theory. It takes a lot of faith to believe in any of them.

In general, I present my arguments, listen carefully to other views, point out illogic and then let the Holy Spirit work on the heart and mind of the other person. I can’t convince people of the truth. It is not my job.

The lenght of time was one of the biggest concerns during the debate about teaching Evolution in classes (forget the name of it). On the 4th day, "God" "created" the Sun and the moon to devide night from day, the seasons, etc. So before that, according to the bible, you can’t really say how long those days were because they weren’t really days. And I made a mistake. I overlooked the statement that light was made on day 1. HOWEVER, he doesn;t make the sun and the moon and the stars until the 3rd day. So where did this light come from? Another thing that I don’t like is that the bible also refers to the moon as a source of light but the only source of light is the sun... and I guess stars but not to any significant extent.
