I totally agree with Beth on the topic of science and religion also. I don't see any reason why science and religion cannot exist together.
whers the proof in that( dont tell me carbon testing because its a bunch of crap

I agree with 37gJoe. Carbon dating is all based on theory. Actually, very little of science is actually based on fact.
It amazes me that people will be so stubborn and only accept what they "think" is true because some scientists have said it is. Could the world and be only 10,000 years old? Of course. There are scientists that have written some very interesting books on the subject.
This may be a little off topic, but take Evolution, for example. I for one don't buy it. So many people believe in evolution based off of what scientists have said, without trying to learn the facts. There is actually very little evidence that supports evolution in the way that Darwin presented it. If you read into it, it can be quite interesting.

You don't need carbon dating to see how old a rock on this planet is. Carbon dating is only good for organic matter. Geology itself tells the story of our age.

As far as other life being out there, I say it is a definate probibility, considering how humoungously big the universe is.
Now, about the whole 'how old is the world', carbon dating is proved to work because it is being tested all the time. Take a leaf, for instance. When you pluck it off the plant, it slowly dies. The radioactive isotope of carbon that resides can be tested how much it decays, since it is constantly being replenished in the living organism, as far as I understand it.
As far as dinosaurs go, I think it is hard not to believe in huge bones that fit together to fit a lizard-like reptile. :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:
I think Beth has the right idea of how science and religion need to coexist. During the dark ages, religion did it's best to stamp out science. Now, during the technological age, it could be argued that science is trying to make people so separated and in control of thier lives that is is waging a war against religion. Both parties are wrong.

How can Corals survive even a year without light can we repelcate this? Their are so many flaws with these therories it takes mor faith to believe in them than in God at least with God You can believe that not everything is held to scientifc rules. Stop kiding yourselves. I chalenge any of you to keep hard coral alive for a year withought any lighting in your tank. It sure takes alot of faith to believe these scientific therories.
Beth how long would you say sps coral can live with NO light what so ever?

wow ... didnt realize we were on the same page...
carbon dating is only a theory to the some... if the dinosaurs were washed out in the great flood then why werent there any mention of it... there are plenty of species that did make it that arent mentioned... IE coral reefs... noah didnt have a reef tank in the arc... now did he... ya all still didnt answer the question about it being a right to be here...
if it happened here... it can happen else where... unless 10,000 days is your answer...
thats just about how long Bush has been in office... :hilarious oh wait i am a little off...
scotty beem me up!!!

Why would dinosaurs be wiped out in the FLOOD??? Didn't Noah take 2 of each, thus all dinos should have survived! :thinking:

That's problematic, imho. If you take a literal interpretation of Genesis then it seems unfair to not take a literal interpretation of the flood account: "And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark (Gen 6:19a)

According to the Bible, it's about 6,000 years old. And that's very believeable.
