Now time can be warped to fit your argument?
Look - do you trust scientists or not? Do you believe radio-carbon dating? Do you believe that the drugs you take to make you better, stave off diseases were as a result of unscientific pursuits? Which bits of science are you going to pick as fact and reliable, and which are you going to discard because they don't fit your way of thinking?
I'm happy for you to go on believeing what you believe, but passing it off as FACT on a public forum is lying, plain and simple. If you want to believe in a guiding force that warped the laws of nature to fit what we see, then fine.
I am a trianed scientist. I will stand up for undeniable, provable fact every step of the way. If you want to believe all your stuff, go ahead, but I'd like you to stand up in court one day and try and prove it to a jury. You will lose.

For a "trained scientist" you really lack the basic skills of reading AND comprehension! Are you the kind of scientist who one month says "eggs are good for you, eat them" and then the next month says "eggs are bad for you, don't eat them"?
Had you bothered to read, or if you read had you bothered to UNDERSTAND, I did not say the laws of nature were warped in any way.
First off let me make it clear since there seems to be some misunderstanding, I do not believe in God in the Christian sense of it or in any sense other than something out there made whatever the world came from. But that does not mean I am completely ignorant, like some people, of what the teachings are. I do something called reading -- it is fun AND fundamental! Try it sometime...Also being Bisexual, if there is a Heaven I doubt I'd be too welcome.
With that out of the way let me brush over ALL YOU chose to ignore to fit YOUR argument...and I'll go slow so all the "trained scientists" around here can understand...
I did not say time could be warped. Repeat, I DID NOT say time could be warped. THIS is what I said - The Bible states the Earth is (today) about 10,000 years old. Correct? Correct. The Bible was written by men not God himself. Correct? Correct. (Or do you claim God wrote it?) These men were supposedly under "divine influence" when they wrote the Bible. How am I so far? So far so good? Good. What I said was who is to say that God functions by man's terms? Who is to say that when man supposedly interpreted God saying the Earth was so many years old (10,000 now) that to God thousands were not millions? What makes you think God works on the same time table as man? Interpretations change throughout time...you as a "trained scientist" should know that.
I stated NOTHING as being FACT. I simply said that YOU don't have all the facts. And to pretend like you do is arrogant and repugnant. Because frankly there is a shit load of unexplained things that science has yet to answer. To call me a "liar" for not seeing things your way is ignorant. I stated an opinion, which evidently when it doesn't mirror the masses is an offense punishable by ridicule and mean-spirited remarks around here. Science may have taught you a lot but one thing it obviously didn't teach you was to be fair and open-minded. The ONLY thing that IS a FACT is that YOU do not have all the answers. And neither does science...to assume is otherwise hypocritical.
And it is funny to have to argue these things in a court of law...evidently the swearing in of witnesses in a case has no merit anymore. Why have to argue about the existence of a God in court when I have to swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in his name?
You need to eject your DVD of "Inherit The Wind" because you, my man, are no Clarence Darrow...
