Actually, the story has Jesus entering Jerusalem riding an ass.

I’m from Oklahoma, the buckle of the bible belt. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Oklahoma who believe that the earth is 8,000 years old and that our ancestors rode around on dionosaurs (ok, just kidding about the riding dinosaurs part, but they do think the earth is 8,000 years old).
I have strong faith in God, but to blindly reject scientific evidence and take the Bible literally (it was not written to be taken literally) is pure stupidity. You guys who don’t live in the south have no idea how incredibly ignorant your fundamentalist Southern Baptist Christians are. Like someone said in another thread, I’d rather go to hell if heaven is going to be populated with those morons.[/quote]
I have family that recently moved to OK. They went to one of those huge Baptist Churches just to check it out.
For some reason they serve popcorn in church and spend 50% of the time insulting the papists (Catholics).
Very strange.

What on earth is your point? Are you agreeing with these fuckwits that the planet is 6,000 years old and man and dinosaur shared it?

Here is the big question Harris. Were you around 6,000 years ago? How about 6 billion years ago? Then either way you go is a leap of faith, so keep your dumb ass comments to yourself you dope!

Dino barked. He was a Dogasaurus Rex.

Quasars are billions of lightyears away from Earth. Their light is reaching earth. How does faith enter into the equation?

[sarcasm] its god testing the faith of the believers? [/sarcasm]
Some people refuse to look past their bibles, just ignore them.
You need more faith to believe in evolution…

Are you kidding? Its been proven the Earth is older than 6,000 years old.
Carbon dating, the seafloor right near where it gets subducted, etc. all show that the Earth is far older than 6,000 years old. Being around has nothing to do with it. You weren’t around for the Revolution- does that mean that it never happened?

do we have some Surge, or a free t-shirt because this is the best post in this thread.
Law
Zeb,
Was the Grand Canyon carved in 6,000 years or did God make it pre-formed to test the doubters?

No. Science is not a leap of faith. It is, in fact the OPPOSITE of a leap of faith. Fossils, carbon dating, etc. These are not articles of faith. They are things that can be proven or disproven.
To further show you to be an incredibly thick moron, were you around 200 and something years ago? No. Then how do you know that the American Revolution took place? Do you believe in it based on faith?
Jackass.

That’s awesome!
Good stuff
This may explain things. I think a lot of people have a secret desire to play pony for Jesus.
Has anybody noticed anything happening in the political world lately?
At least there we democratically elect our temporary diety of choice!

I thought that I heard carbon dating wasn’t a rock solid dating method?

I’m not sure that its accurate down to the exact year…but its pretty well documented that there are rocks in the billions of years old.
As well as ice core samples, which I forgot to mention before, which tell of atmospheric conditions of ancient Earth.
And Flamer, I knew someone would appreciate the Jersey Jesus!
You mean, the fact that it may be off by a few thousand years over a million is a problem for this discussion?
Or were you joking with the use of the phrase “rock solid”?

Not a scientist, so I can’t speak to that. Hadn’t heard it, though.
I do know it is a lot more reliable than the “counting up the ‘begats’ in the bible” method the fundies seem to be so partial to.
