So lets say tonight I go into a cave and draw a picture of a lizard with 5 legs, two heads with 4 sets of eyeballs in them each and 3 arms growing out of its ass, ok? Now, 10,000 years from now someone finds the cave and the drawing, are they to believe that such a creature existed?  I mean honestly, your arguments are so incredibly weak it's almost incredible. I know it's hard but please put your bible down and read and trust modern science. Science is not the enemy!!!

I know science is not the enemy its very important for life, but not your "science" because really lets face it how is knowing i came from a soup of dirt gonna help me in life. I wount believe they existed but the carvings have a Triceratops a Tyrannosaurus and an Apatosaurus these all existed and you would agree, They carvings look exactly like the pictures on text books. And dont even try and say someone faked em, why would some who through all that just to promote creation.

Do a simple search about Inflationary Theory to learn about solutions to the horizon problem. Plus, the problem really essentially states that the universe is infact older than currently stated. By measurement of starlight, the universe, currently, is at least 13 billion years old. Earth formed 9 billion years later.

I just realized in my original post I misspelled "mammal," how embarrassing! Guess I was in a rush.

I am curious what you believe about the earth and universe...

[Nunogomes77]

But have you ever thought that different light travels at different speeds, and that light could of traveled faster in the past. Also Albert Einstein discovered that the rate at which time passes is affected by motion and by gravity so anything is possible. Besides if God made the stars for us why not make the light it emmits at different speeds, God is God right.

Do you know that they found Dinosaur carvings on Inca stones in peru. It has dinasaurs dipicted with people riding them like horses or cammels and also hunting them. How do you think the acient people knew what dinosaurs looked like in first place to carve the images if they didnt see them directly.

[jloo222]

No, it isn't a belief, it's a fact. Datings used for the age of the earth and universe are 100% accurate, proven in laboratory tests world-wide. If you don't think the earth is billions of years old, then please explain how we are able to see starlight from galaxies that are billions of light years away. The universe is expanding. Read about it. On evolution - not being able to "see" evolution has no bearing on it's validity. You clearly don't know enough about it to discuss it.

and by the way the big bang has the same problem check the horizon problem.

@jloo222 ....science is not the enemy, in this I completely agree....but lies that claim to be science are indeed the enemy....such as evolution.

[Nunogomes77]

geological dating is not accurate they get dates wrong all the time when using it. U werent there u didnt see people evolve and u didnt see dinosaurs live at 65,000,000 years ago so its a believe just like mine. I dont disrespect science but really evolution is not science because for something to be scientifically accurate it needs to be tested and have proof before excepted and it hasn't. thank you for your comments

[jloo222]

No, you're wrong. Human beings have been on earth for no more than 200,000 or maybe 250,000 years at the maximum. Dinosaurs went extinct 65,000,000 years ago. The earth is 4.5 billion years old and the universe is approximately 13 billion years old. This is fact, proven by science in the form of geological dating and starlight measurement (to name a few methods). I have no problem with your wanting to believe in some form of religion, but please do not disrespect modern science. Thank you.
