On virtually every fossil video you will find people struggling / talking about the whole science/ geology VS. biblical literalism. People need to realise in my country the USA about 95% are science illiterate and about 80% are religiously illiterate . Naturally people are struggling to wrap their heads around science answers . Some people integrate both science / religion or exclude the other completely .

On Genesis being poetical -do you mean that to say it is not true? Saying that God did not create the earth in 6 days? I would say that among Christians (followers of Jesus Christ) we do take the Bible literally, as we believe they are the inspired words of God.

@chodges725 You are aware that the bible is written in several writting stlyes , Genesis differs greatly from the others . Most fundamentalists are underinformed as to church history and the bibles developement . Its a huge subject , again most Christian denominations are not literalists / fundamentalists .

@chodges725 Their are entire books, websites and forums on this subject .Depending on what religious tradition you where born into determines most peoples outlook , few ever study /think independently / critically .It was arrogant of you to claim the fossils where not real to defend YEC.

@chodges725 The Earth and its evolved life is is billions of years old according to several branches of science .This is accepted by over 1 billion Christians individualy as well as their church leaders .How you chose to ignore or accept science is up to you .

@chodges725 since we can say, with absolute certainty that the earth and all it's marvels were NOT created in 6 days, but over billions of years, then why evolve in your thinking? the bible is a mythological interpretation of the world and universe rather than a literal one. now you can begin to understand the important meaning behind the words - which continues to have meaning for entire cultures and civilizations today - a real marvel!

@1Focke Wulf 1 Genesis and its "creation sequence" account is a plagiarism of the Babylonian creation myth Enuma Elish ,which the early Jews where exposed to. You can look it up if you'd like . John Romer explained it well in his Testament series on PBS . Religion is based upon assertion of truths without evidence or verification . It is interesting to understand and read up on creation myths and their origins . They differ markedly from science .

@chodges725 the earth being 6000yr old it is not gods word, for if you knew your bible you would know no where in it does it mention 6000yr, or any date for the age of the earth. Bleat for me.

[chodges725]

@chodges725 that we are all sinners. We are separated from God because of our sin. The only way we can be with God in Heaven one day is through trusting in Jesus, to forgive our sin. He died on a cross for those that would believe in Him.

May God Bless you.. and I hope you will think about Jesus - he is as real as it gets.

[chodges725]

There are a lot of Christians that are not followers of the Bible. The Earth in only about 6000 years old according to the Bible. That is what I believe because it is God's Word! He created the world, and He wrote about it (inspired men) to tell us of His love for us. This whole life -everything we do is for Him and Him alone. This world is going to end one day, and everyone arguing about how old it is isn't going to make a difference. The only thing that really matters is..
