Re: Proof of a Young Earth

Is this community not open to educating others?

We certainly are. Aside from the wisdom you'll gain by listening to us True Christians on this forum, a few other good sources of reliable information:

The King James Bible
Rush Limbaugh
The Drudge Report
Fox News

Good vs. evil - there is no in between. Everything can be reduced to simple black and white solutions. Remember that:

Christians/Conservative_Republicans=good, non-Christians/Liberal_Democrats=bad

Accept Christ as your personal savior (and win a Sony Playstation III), join LandOverBaptist Church, tithe generously. Blind faith is the key to salvation.

Put a "Support the Troops" bumper sticker on your car, and a big American flag in your front yard.

When confronted by unpleasant arguments by non-Christians, remember that you can always refute them with slogans, like "9/11 changed everything."

Did you realize that salvation could be so easy?

Re: Proof of a Young Earth

Thank you, but I didn't ask for instructions on your version of salvation.

I want to know why you believe that your religion is the proper path for all humans to follow.

Star-Child, there can be only one true path to salvation. Deviate from the Truth, and you'll burn in Hell.

As our Godly President Bush has said: "You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists. There can be no middle ground."

I do understand the source of your confusion. Satan has so many ways to lead you astray. One only has to turn on the TV to see/hear the voice of the Devil: Hillary Clinton, Harry Potter, The Pope, Osama bin Laden, Sean Penn, Planned Parenthood, etc. That's why I have a bullhorn - to shout down Satan and his servants.

I don't need to question my faith. I KNOW I'm right, because I've spoken with God personally. In fact, he appears before me several times a day, especially when I forget to take my thorazine.

I suggest you get a copy of the King James Bible and a poster-sized photo of President Bush to hang on your wall, and pray in front of it every day. The Truth will then become clear soon enough.

Pray to Jesus (or fry),

Re: Proof of a Young Earth

Heh, is that some kind of inside joke? I'm not sure what sort of proof you have to say that I'm a hippie.

You call yourself STAR-CHILD, for crying out loud! If you came in here calling yourself Comrade Aaron "Swinder" Goldberg, would you be surprised if we called you a Joo?

And I don't quite get the "like a thief in the night" metaphor. An explanation would be appreciated.

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Is that enough explanation for you, my hippie friend?

And could you please disprove bacteria for me?

How are we supposed to disprove something that doesn't even exist?

(So many questions, my!) What does "joo" mean? I haven't come across that term before.

Hebe. Christ-killer. Hook-nosed penny-pinching kike.

What I've learned so far from this community is that it is fine to be racist,

We have no tolerance for racism here at Landover.

homophobic

By secular standards, God is a "homophobe".

and rude for no reason (ie. being called a hippie for no reason).

No reason except for the fact that you're a hippie! Your hippie nonsense is really trying my patience, boy or girl or flowerperson or whatever you are.

Is this community not open to educating others?

What are we doing right now, if not educating some good Biblical knowledge into your pot-addled hippie skull?

I want to know why you believe that your religion is the proper path for all humans to follow.

Because God states that everyone who doesn't follow it will go to Hell!
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it!

Because The Bible is so correct on everything. No proper Christian scientist has ever show any error in The Bible and all it's prophecies have come true. Only God could have written The Bible so therefor following The Bible is the one, true way friend.

Thank you all for your information. Your reactions are also very helpful. I appreciate the opportunity to listen to your opinions.

Friend,

These aren't "our" opinions, they are Jesus'. We just humble accept His TRUTH(tm).

[Star-Child]

Re: Proof of a Young Earth

I have to refer to them as opinions from my standpoint. I understand your insistence that you are right--I do sympathize completely, having my own beliefs which have been challenged before when I simply know they are right. It's difficult for us all, no doubt. That's why I compliment all of you for standing by your beliefs so strongly. It is a good contribution to humanity.

I do not understand you hesitation here. It is really simple to see if our opinion are right friend. Just look in The Bible; what it says is what we TRUE Christians(tm) believe and that is why we are the correct way.

Disagreeing with our opinion is essence disagreeing with God's.

Re: Proof of a Young Earth

Yes--you are following the Bible literally. That is a fact. I am merely observing the results of a community following that particular venue in religion.

Re: Proof of a Young Earth

Brother, anyone (scientist) who says the earth is old doesn't know how to do math.

Scientists use "radio carbon dating" to determine how old things are.

Lets use one of their concepts "half-life" to see how stupid they are.

A half life is the decay rate of an element. Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years (or so). That means, 5730 years ago there was twice as much Carbon-14 as there is now.

Scientists claim that the earth is 3.5 billion years old. For a half life of 5730, that's 610,820 half lives for carbon-14.

If there's only one pound of carbon-14 in the world today, before 610,820 half lives, there would be:

1 half life 2 lbs
2 half lives 4; 8; 16; 32; 64; 126; 256; 512; (for ease) 1000; 2000; 4000; 8000; 16000; 32000; 64000; 126,000; 256,000; 512,000; (for ease) 1,000,000; 2,000,000; 4,000,000; 8,000,000; 16,000,000; 32,000,000; 64,000,000; 128,000,000; 256,000,000; 512,000,000...

That's a whole lot of carbon. Before 29 half-lives, saying there's only one pound of carbon-14 today; we get a number of 512 billion pounds of carbon 14. That's in only 166,170 years. We aren't anywhere near the million mark, let alone the billion year mark.

Well lets start with this:

Once the Carbon decays, then it becomes a new element that can take billions of years to decompose or even a few seconds. So that would refute the fact that there's not enough Carbon. And new rocks are formed. It's very accurate.

Is there a microbiologist in the house, who can answer that question?

I am one and I can say that the formula used cannot determine when Jesus will come back. He will come back when he is needed, not according to some numbers.

Friend, I wasn't expecting a microbiologist to be able to predict when Jesus will return -- that would be absurd.

If you are a microbiologist, then my question for you is roughly how many bacteria can the earth support, within a few orders of magnitude?

That is utter nonsense. Carbon 14 decays into Nitrogen 12 and a beta particle. Nitrogen 12 makes up about 70% of the atmosphere, and it is not radioactive. Not even a little bit. It's about as stable an element as God created. In fact, the only thing that Nitrogen 12 becomes is more Carbon 14, when it interacts with firmament rays in the upper atmosphere, which means there's even more missing Carbon 14 that you can't explain!

Which diploma mill awarded your microbiology degree, anyway? You're obviously not a real scientist, and we don't appreciate people coming into our forums pretending to be something that they aren't.

Re: Proof of a Young Earth

I just realized something. If carbon is really destroying the Earth like al-Gore and his cronies are claiming, then aren't these evolutionists contributing to its destruction by using carbon to "date" their fossils?

If that's not hypocrisy, what is?

Evolutionists are dating fossils? I used to date a girl older than myself, but I wouldn't call her a fossil - middle aged at best.
