Problems with Genesis Creation

Prophecy is NOT a topic for this thread. Please take it to this thread: Fullfilled Bible prophecy

All cultures in the world are descendants of Adam. They don’t predate creation. They come after creation. That’s like me asking you, how were you born before your grandparents? Simple answer: you weren't.On a side note I don’t hold dogmatically to exactly 6,000 years, but the genealogies found in I & II Chronicles, I & II Kings, Matthew 1, Luke 3, and all throughout Genesis give a date for creation around 4000 BC. James Ussher calculated that the date of creation was Oct 23 4004 BC. Once again I personally don’t hold dogmatically to this exact date because, although James Ussher was a genius, he was only human and capable of mistakes. One example is he included the year zero in his calculations. Also the Oct 23 date is based on the Gregorian calendar and we currently use the Julian calendar.

My apologies.

Dinosaur fossils don’t have age tags on them when they are unearthed. Many assumptions go into dating fossils. To fit into evolutionary theory those fossils many times need to be assigned an age of millions of years. I’m not saying the paleontologists who calculate these ages are being intentionally dishonest; they’re just being consistent with their worldview. My axiom is that the Bible is true. Based on that, I can say that dinosaurs did not exist before creation. They were created on day 6 with all of the other land animals.

But they are. That's the problem for you. They are older than the 6000 year creation date.You can say "well, they can't be", but that's just sticking your head in the sand, because we know they're older than that.

If you know what you're looking for, yeah they do, actually. These dates aren't based on their consistency with evolution; they're based on consistency with the laws of physics.

Yeah, well there you've got a problem. What if my grandparents, as children, travelled to the Arizona on a vacation and while there they visited an abandoned village which we can show conclusively that I built.Not such a simple answer anymore.Now there's basically two possibilities - 1) I can time travel 2) Your geneology has a mistake in it somewhere.

As close to certain as we can possibly be. Position of the legs, population densities, growth rates, feathery integument on relatives of a few of them, and bone structure in general, I think. I believe that there was a recent study on the growth rates of T. rex that showed that they reached full size in around five years, something that you wouldn't get if it were an ectotherm.
There's probably a good deal more evidence, but I'm a layman, and couldn't give much more than the general stuff.

Where do you draw the line for "ape" then?If Early homonids are mearly apes, why aren't humans mearly apes?Habilis and Erectus had tools and fire. Hell, Erectus had boats.
Neanderthals had even more than that.Who do you include and who do you exclude, and why?

Fossil's are not simply assigned an age.Strata is dated by either things within the strata, or by looking at strata above and below it.In other words - if I can't date the perioid of time this fossil came from, but I know it's above 5 million years ago and below 6 million years ago, I can estimate it at 5.5 million years.Sub-Note: You are tangentially on the topic of the "Great Science Conspiracy" in which all scientists are secretly assigning dates so that they all agree with all other scientists.Here's the problem - EVERY legitimate scientist in the ENTIRE WORLD would LOVE to find something which disagrees with current theories. That's the sort of thing that makes careers.Who's the guy who worked on physics right after Newton? No one cares.

And don't need any to falsify Genesis 1. See post 9 in this thread, if you would, jjsemsch.

Dating is a big topic that will crowd everything else out of this thread.If you think dates are simply matching a worldview then explain the contents of this thread:
Age Correlations and an Old Earth: Version 1 No 3 (formerly Part III)That is the place to take dating issues.

Once again your “millions of years” is an assumption. By pre-dinosaur fossils I assume you are referring to fossils found in strata below strata containing dinosaur fossils. With the Bible as my axiom, “pre-dinosaur” and dinosaur fossils were buried during the Noachian Flood. Animals and plants that lived together were rapidly buried together during this violent deluge. In fact much of the fossil record can be interpreted as being buried during the Noachian Flood.

Here is what Creation Scientist and meteorologist Michael Oard says specifically about the wooly mammoth. Of course by capital "F" Flood he's referring to is the Noachian Deluge.
