Well, your sarcasm is duly noted, but as for me, I'd rather have discussions with Christians who act like Christians rather than like rabid pit bulls.
As a scientist (retired anthropologist), we actually deal with objectively-derived research and not those stories that were written 2000+ years ago by people whom we do not know and could not have been there at the "creation" of our universe.
Anyhow, I prefer to discuss things with my Christian wife who actually believes in the compassion and fairness that Jesus taught.
First your wrong about who was there at the creation of the Universe, God was there, and throughout God's word the old and new testaments gives us what that world that then was, was like.
There are things that are being found in the earth that points back at that time, for they are God's witnesses about that world that first earth age.
But as it is, people are not taught these things, all because, first a person has to know about such things before they can teach about them.
Most people will claim that the earth is only 6000 yrs old, but in God's word proves the earth to be alot older than 6000 yrs old.
But like I said, the evidence is all there, all people has to do is add 2+2 =4.
Take the dinosaurs bones, which are dated to be around to Millions to Billions of years old.
But because christians are taught, that the earth is only 6000 yrs old, and the dinosaurs bones does not fit into their equation, the Christians goes on the attack.
Not realizing that God's word does indeed support that the earth is alot older than 6000 years old.
And everyone else, including yourself, will run with it, but still you can't figure how something that is Millions to Billions of years old, how does this fit into the earth as being 6000 years old?
That's because your running with what christians are being taught by their pastors and not what God teaches in his word.
You as a anthropologist, should know this, that you can not take something that Millions to Billions of years old and to fit into 6000 years old, it just will not fit or work.
Back when I was in the 8th and 9th grade science class's, when I first heard about the dinosaurs bones, that started me down the road to question what I was taught in the church about the earth is only 6000 years old.
I would ask myself, how does this work or fit with the dinosaurs bones that are dated to be Millions to Billions of years old.
That here on one side you have Christians and the other you scientist, one claiming one thing and then on the other one claiming another thing.
So I would reason this inside of myself, who's right and who's wrong. This lead me to only one who would and have the answers to all of this that is God in his word.
And behold, it's all there about that first earth age, of where the dinosaurs bones came from and alot of other things that are found here in the earth.
But what I would like you to do with all your expertise show how to fit Millions to Billions of years into 6000 years?
If you can do that maybe I will listen to what your trying to say?
