Well, it matters in this case in that no reputable scientists will make a claim as poorly supported as "the Universe, and all it's contents are only 6000 years old".
No reputable scientist believes that GOD doesn't exist.
I would suggest that no atheist scientist would ever accept an earth and Universe dated to 6000 years no matter how much proof was discovered in full support.
Because the first step is providing/supplying the proof. The bible is not proof of anything. So until then, you are speculating based on a fable from a book.
I don't see you patting any Creationists on the back regarding their literature and their videos or their websites. The FACT is that you want NOTHING to do with any of them. And that is exactly what Creation Scientists face on a daily basis. So it isn't hogwash, and I will not stop it until the day I leave this sick world. I don't see proof of evolutionists making new species that are entire unrelated to the parent species. I don't see proof of evolutionists and abiogenists working together making biological life out of minerals, water, and electricity... Those that want absolute proof need to provide it!
Is there a Tuesday Scotsman according to evolution?
How so? How is it any different to an natural atheistic belief?
Posts like this are why nobody should respond to you.
And what's your source for the 500 witnesses? I know that there's Paul's letters but are there any sources outside of the Bible?
If you're going to say the Bible to say that it describes the expansion of the universe, how do you explain the part in Genesis in which the sky is made up of water? As you might know, the sky is not blue because it is made out of water. In fact, there's rarely any hydrogen in the atmosphere, so H₂O doesn't really make up a substantial part of the sky. In fact, the sky is mostly nitrogen. The reason it's blue is because sunlight gets scattered. Since blue has the shortest wavelength, it gets scattered the most.
I literally described how a bottom up system can create complex things. But if you're not convinced, consider this - the first life on earth emerged 3.85 billion years ago. It took another billion years for the first eukaryotic life to emerge. It was only 600 million years ago that multicellular life emerged. What I'm trying to say is that there was no shortage of time for the complex structures required for complex life to evolve.
I find it funny that in order for the account of the flood to hold water (no pun intended), evolution actually has to happen faster than in the mainstream evolutionary account. Furthermore, you haven't addressed how the animals ate considering that all plant life died.
Nothing at all wrong with the Bible. It is a very honest group of books. As much if not more acceptable than many historical ancient writings. It has been proven accurate over and over.
The Clouds have water. It wouldn't rain if there was no H₂O in the sky, places like Florida wouldn't end up with 20 inches of rain in less than 48 hours in some areas.
And how did your bottom start? You toss away GOD and replace HIM with TIME.
