Because in several circumstances, the other hasn't been conclusively proven. I refer you back to my long essay from yesterday.

Ok but lets say they all are proven to be flawed... then what?

The thing is, although science hasn't found a "completely 100% definitive answer" to something like the Earth's age, we've learned enough to know that the Christian explanation is wrong, so we should stop talking about it and work to find the real answer.

the question is has anyone witnessed the beginning of earth? So technically speaking (if we are not counting creation) then this is all just speculation. Both opinions are wrong. We don't have any evidence for either.

Like God

Sorry this is off topic but @Southernpatriot01 am I right in thinking that you guys made a Christian server a while back? If yes, could I join?

We did.

@Southernpatriot01 would I be able to join as well?

Yes.

I think they have a lot of faith

supposedly

Well I have said in my large message that I'm not a scientist.

can they?

but every time I research evolution I see holes

no but it does mean evolution isn't right either

But here's the thing

Evolution doesn't have to be fully fledged out to disprove God

never said they equal God I said they just make me doubt evolution

Yes, but even if evolution isn't entirely developed as a complete and total theory, but we have MILLIONS of papers and data points that, even if you disregard large scale evolution, still disprove Christian teachings.

millions of pieces of data that all either contradict one another or are not what they seem.

ok so a scientist can recreate it in a lab. there wasnt a scientist years ago fiddling with the DNA of ants or whatever. They "did it on their own"

alright so if they did it on their own like i said it would take longer than scientists say how old the earth is

I still see the words "may suggest" which sounds like speculation

evolution is a theory exactly. It's not proven.

alright still a theory is not the end result. Scientists still can't provide us with an end result.

no but they can't confirm it

maybe not but it does mean that it isn't fact

ok well you still won't admit to it being a fact. You are saying basically

i guess that's your opinion. I personally rely on the Bible as an eye witness testimony to creation and a young earth. We just have different opinions

This isn't opinion

This is willful ignorance

:)

so does mine i've provided it for you.

God is my eye witness but yet again, you won't take that as an arguement because you don't believe in God

Look up "The Case For Christ." It's about a man who went out of his way to disprove God, and he couldn't do it. He wrote about everything, and it was later adapted into a film

I love that book

The thing is, the burden of proof falls on people who believe in a certain religion

You should read the case for Christ and the Case for a Creator it's good

just so you understand why we believe what we believe

explain it then

it's proven that we are all related lol I mean
