That or when God created the Remington bolt action rifle.

WOOOO Hell Yeah !
Eliphalet 7:62

Light travels at a constant speed. Carbon deteriorates at a constant rate. God made many laws that aren't addressed in the Bible. We know that now and didn't know that in the time of Moses. You can pretend that physics is junk science, but ask the folks in Hiroshima how well their god/king held up against God's unwritten laws.

I've often wondered about this. How long have we been measuring this rate. 50, 100 years?
Can we really extrapolate the data from such a minute time period and apply it to a large time period (50 million years) and assume it's correct.

My father was a nuclear physicist and the branch manager of Teledyne Brown's nuclear weapons effects group. He had 30+ PhD's working for him and they were as deep as anyone can really get into quantum physics. He told me that the more he understood quantum physics, the more he was absolutely convinced that there had to be a God.

My point : You can find God everywhere you look ... Bible ... Science/Physics ... While you can twist science and scripture around to satisfy what you want to hear, you cannot deny Him, he created it all according to His won rules

To pretend that carbon dating is a fact of science is misguided. There are many many questions surrounding the accuracy of carbon dating. There has been an every increasing list of things dated to be millions of years old that have since been found to be not nearly as old as dated by this method. One is the dinosaur bone that was found to contain soft tissue. Which is another rule of science which is in conflict with the carbon dating. Soft tissue cannot (according to science) remain in that condition for millions of years. Instead it appears to be thousands of years old not millions. This is just one example of many...

Dinosaurs:

Dinosaurs were real. Created by God.

A global catastrophe wiped them out.

We see their bones as fossils deposited in sedimentary layers all over the earth.

Interestingly enough, in some areas we find their bones deposited in mass with hundreds or thousands of other bones-broken, splinted, separated, jumbled mess--huge graveyards.

In short we find millions of dead things deposited in sediment layers laid down by water all over the earth.

The Bible speaks of one global catastrophe we refer to as Noah's Flood, but when you read about it it is much more than a flood. What would we expect to see as the aftermath of such an event, if it were real?

We'd most likely find millions of dead things deposited in sediment layers laid down by water all over the earth.


Age of the Earth/Timeline:

I don't believe in the millions/billions of years as the progressive atheist evolutionist machine pushes.

I believe in a literal creation story as revealed to us in God's Word. Day means a literal 24 hour day--Hebrew word "yom".

When was the earth created?....recently compared to the billions of years crowd. If one goes by the genealogy in the OT as being a full complete list, then 6,000-7,000 years old. If one understands the genealogy is true but might not list everyone...assume only 1/10th complete...then 60,000-70,000 years would not be hard to imagine. Either way or somewhere in between, it is still far short of the Billions of years promoted by evolution scientists and would totally rule out their views on evolution of all species.

Why this is important to me? When God created the earth all was good. When sin entered the Garden, mankind and the earth was cursed. Prior to that there was no death, disease, suffering, chaos, etc...because all was good as God created it. Now if the dinosaurs lived ages prior to the Garden and then subsequently died in the catastrophic death hat the fossil record shows, then there is now death, suffering, chaos, destruction--ALL before the curse. All before the curse...do you see that? If death existed before sin entered the world with Adam and Eve, then there is no need for Christ. Then there is no need for salvation. There are theological and spiritual implications here.

God's Word is Holy, Perfect, Inerrant, and written and preserved just as God intended. It is history along with HIS-Story. Culture today wants to have all the answers and we as a people will twist and manipulate the bible in ways to justify what works well for our own minds. I say let the Bible stand for what it says and don't try to add to it or take things out of it...I say that because God told us the same thing.

Depending on who you ask, the soft tissue story can't be real because how do you find soft tissue from a creature which never existed?

Look, I'm not a scientist by any means, but I do know enough about science to recognize that God set up physical laws that we all must comply with. I assume he can change them at will since they're His to change. But my point is, He made laws that are enforced by Him with out explanation. None of which are addressed in the Bible. Personally, I can't comprehend how anyone in this day and time could think the Earth is only 6,000 years old. The Egyptians kept pretty good records and their timelines can be traced back very accurately over 4,000 years. No Dinosaurs that I can recall.

Just to be clear, you guys that say the dinosaurs were killed in the flood are saying they existed in Noah's time?
