We were not supposed to be discussing what you *believed*. We were
supposed to be discussing what your Bible *says*.
Where in the Bible does it say 6000 years is the Earth's age.
It can be derived from Bible genealogies using rather simple arithmetic
as I am sure you know. You must have adopted some way to weasel around
the obvious meaning of words like "morning and evening" and "... lived
xxx years and begat ...".
Again, you can not put beliefs into someone and proceed to demolish
it. Faulty logic. I have never claimed the Earth is 6000 years old.
Some of my friends do, and we sometimes argue (discuss) it. But,
really, even if I do, what scientific fact - I mean real scientific
fact, not conclusions and conjectures and speculations, do you have to
say that this is wrong. Yeah yeah, I know about your shellfish study
and your ice core data. At best they are not "settled" science, just
the opinion of some researcher.
It becomes obvious that any science that disagrees with your prejudice
will simply be called "unsettled" and "just someones opinion". But it
also becomes very obvious that the meaning of most of the statements in
your Bible regarding scientific issues is also "unsettled" and "just
someones opinion"! So why would anyone care any more for what your
Bible says, than what science says? - since what your Bible says is also
just unsettled "conjectures and speculations" that can be argued about
ad-nauseum.
So regarding your supposed contradictions, you acknowledge that it is
difficult to "draw out" and yet you proclaim it as a contradiction.
Something is wrong with that thinking my friend.
This is hardly the forum for discussing Hebrew letters getting dropped
from names - particularly when you will only ignore any effort I put
into it in much the same way as you ignore anything else that you
disagree with.
Did you decide who wrote on Moses' second set of tablets? Or where
Aaron died?
Yeah, just go ahead and weasle away. Most people do that when they
been found to be either lying or wrong.
