Let me ask you a question...
How did man get here on this planet and who created all of this ?
Click to expand...

No one really knows. However, there is plenty of evidence proving that the literal "young earth" interpretation of the Bible is nonsense.

Do you have a theory?

Who else would create such wonders ? God.
Man did not create birds in the sky nor water for the fish to survive. Man has not been here since the beginning of time. Only thing we created is trouble among ourselves.
You and no one else can tell me what you see around you has already been here.
Question...
How old is man ?

That is the logical fallacy of 'begging the question'. That is assuming there is a 'who', and that who' exists.

As for how is is man, I'm 60, but great gramps lived to be 92.

Yeah...God started it all and man screwed it up.
Bible ?
Those who think it's nonsense probably don't know how to read it.

Wrong. Credit or blame lies with God, if God exists. If God exists either this is all part of his plan (man screwing up) or God screwed the pooch himself.

The nonsense is believing that the universe was created in 6 days about 6,000 years ago.

So therefore man is only 60 right ?
So man in 60 years created the fish in the sea,birds in the air.
Man sure can make human beings with mistakes here and there.
Man can create atomic bombs and destroy, putting the blame on God if things don't go well.
One thing that has nothing to do with is man made homosexuality. Sure the Bible says it's not the way to go but those who challenge say yes.
Man questions why things happen and blames God so why not compensate ?
We could beat God in his own game by creating(man made) abortions. Then we can get the credit instead of God...wow what a racket !
Your turn.

(buzzard sounds)
Blaming God for our screw ups is lamed.
I don't see any proof man can create a universe.
Going to play devil's advocate(whoops I guess there's no devil unless it's a vacuum cleaner). You remember there was a Star Trek movie about creating a new universe as Spock was buried on a new "man made" planet. Making a long "movie" short the planet deteriorated...oh well it's only a movie but as you can see man's creations equaling God can not compete. So in short blaming God is a cop out. Blame someone human like barack " I'm a soul man" obama.

Well, I am a man, I am 60, so, at least one man is 60. Some are older, some are younger.

Now, if you mean mankind.. The oldest homosapien fossil is about 230,000 years old.

Don't need to. You can re read some of my responses. I could asked the same but anyone can open a tenth grade science book.

You say what every non believer says. Find a tenth grade science book or Google "science is fun".

From your comments, I am sorry but it does not appear you know actual science.

Maybe because a "who" has an intelligent mind, while a "what" does not...

Start with the first page. When you reached the bottom go to the next page and so on. Let me no when you reach Psalm 150.
