If the creation story in the bible is an accurate account of how god created life on this earth why doesn't it match the fossil record? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Crazywaterspring People can't reconcile that the scientists who made those could be wrong.

@GodSpeed63 Can you provide proof that they are wrong. Proof that doesn't consist entirely of "because it disagrees with the Bible or my faith"?

@Crazywaterspring Unfortunately, even if we cited journal articles, some people would still say that the results are wrong. I really can't understand why some people have such a poor understanding and lack of respect for science.

@GodSpeed63 Can you enlighten us on how old the fossil record is and how that figure was arrived at?

@Bushranger

Well godspeed has declared that people are lying about evolution because they dont want to believe in god. Or something to that effect.

@Pikachu And Darwin wanted to destroy religion. Only by accepting God and Jesus can a person change for the better. Only by accepting God and Jesus can we truly understand the purpose behind life. The universe has to be created because it is too perfect to have come about by chance.

Seriously, pretty much any of those assertions can be either be easily disproved or have no basis in scientific reality.

@Deadcutie
Not sure what scriptural evidence there is for two distinct creation events but i have shown shown you that at least one of them is in error when tested against the physical evidence

@Pikachu And I’ve shown you your ignorance on the matter is more blaring than your self absorbed ego thinks or can admit to.. despite pretending to pass yourself off as intellectual and intelligent, underneath you’re just another fool.

@Deadcutie

Well that was very scathing, i'm sure. But i don't see how it was a meaningful response to my last post.
Do try again. This time see if you can address the content of my post rather than relying on attacking my character (or would you like to deny doing that again?)


lol but seriously, you're getting out of control. Take a breath, reign it in and try again.

Or don't because i'm a troll and so not worthy of a response.

The laws of logic do not apply to a living persons reality, a wife dies the government increases taxes. That person's reality has changed.

@SW-User


Incorrect.
The conditions of their life have changed. Their reality remains the same.

@SW-User You’re talking about a very whimsical definition of reality. Pikachu and I are discussing [b][u]reality[/u][/b]; that is, the unchanging facts of our universe. I.e. the fact that the fossil record would demonstrate the creation story is nothing more than a story made up by cave men.

@Graylight

lol i agree with everything you just said. All true facts

@Zaphod42

I've heard it said that fossils are put there by god to test our faith. I've also heard it said that the devil put them there to trick us. I've also heard it said that fossils are fake and a conspiracy and isn't it suspicious that paleontologists find all the fossils lol

@ChatterinSeuss

Well yes in fact i do. But i'm not asking me lol

@Prettybrat

bastards

@Pikachu the dinosaurs were completely omitted and that may be because wasn't necessary information for that day. I mean the discovery of dinosaurs is a twentieth Century things mostly.
I'm almost inclined to say the moon came into existence about the same time as man did and that would go along with the creation depiction.
As like the fossil record only gives a tiny tiny view into what happened I also believe the creation depiction is an abbreviated condensed view of what happened as well. Both are full of holes and some context missing.

I don't think that holds water. Why is most of the information in the creation account "necessary" ?

But the creation account is not only incomplete, it is inconsistent with the evidence of the real world.For instance it states that birds were created on the fifth day and land animals on the sixth.
This is in direct contradiction of the fossil record.

Sure, maybe dinosaurs were omitted for hypothetical reasons. Or maybe they were omitted because they had not yet been discovered

@canusernamebemyusername

dick move, amiright?

@Greenbare Yeah i've never got a good answer about that

@whatever1990 LOL

😁@Bushranger

@SW-User

I have indeed heard those kinds of answers before

@Sarabee Why is it so hard to believe that the earth may be very old and that natural forces have shaped its surface? I don't see how this can be against the will of your God.

@Groofydorkgerdo

Nope
