Just as a conversation enhancer, and not for any particular reason (other than that I like to play Devil's Advocate and try to see the side that's sometimes overlooked...)...
Satan is also called the 'Great Deceiver', because, having dominion over the Earth (we are told), he can place things in our lives which are designed to fool us into disbelieving what God offers and try to turn us away...right?
S'pose Satan simply puts all these things here . . . dinosaur bones; old rocks; whatever it is that has us believing, "scientifically", that the Bible is wrong and science is right? Suppose it's all a great big Satanic joke meant to decieve us and, in the end, everything in the Bible is true and accurate?
I'm not sayin' anything . . . I'm just sayin'. Just suppose...
Quite the contrary. Based on the decendents of Adam in Genesis 5 and other scriptures then comparing them to know dates it is easily calculated.

I'm just as Christian as anyone on this board, but seriously, isn't believing that the Earth is only 7,000 years old akin to the once popular belief among Christians that the sun and planets revolve around the Earth?
Don't know about that. Carbon dating that has been used to try and date things has proven to be inaccurate in many cases.

Yes because their mind is not polluted with something that may not exist.Some of us don't view this ruling as bad. Need I remind you that the Supreme Court also ruled in our favor for Heller.
What does it say? That we are created and our rights come not from government or some paper but from the Creator. Do you really think the atheist and agnostics we have trying to run our country or ruin our country are smarter than Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers of our country?
It was derived through a subsequent amendments to the Constitution and case law. Why reinvent the wheel? If the wikipedia link has the information, why should I waste bandwidth, energy and time rehashing it? You have to look at is today not how it was over two centuries ago. You cannot have Amish beliefs about the law. It is what it is today.I did not ask to be directed to a wikiedia article on the subject. I asked you to show me where in the Constitution that this invention of the concept of "separation of church and state" can be found. Show me the part of the Constitution that requires separation of church and state. As soon as you can show me where the Constitution mentions that, I'll shut up.

Hope you don't mind if I pray to my Magic 8 Ball. At least my Magic 8 Ball is a tangible object.NDS I hope you don't mind if I pray to my "imaginary friend" for you.
Don't worry. My "imaginary friend" created the heavens and the earth so I am not afraid.

Be my guest. If it makes you feel better to believe you were the by product of primordial uz out of a big bang theory than being formed by a Creator then knock yourself out.
If that's the spin you want to put on it. It may also be that He allows another to lie and lets the individual make up his own mind about things. His allowing Satan to lie to us doesn't make Him the liar, or put Him in collusion. It merely has Him giving us the freedom choice.So god colludes with and acquiesces to lies--if you say so.

So are we to take the same stand the liberals take and claim the constitution is a living breathing document subject to change at the whim of the people?

I can understand why you reject a belief on God. I'm certainly no Christian Poster Child. But, from an intellectual view, shouldn't you rather keep your mind open than to intellectualize (rationalize?) it away completely? You can rationalize yourself out of practically any argument. Intellectually, you must admit, there's always the remote possibility that you're actually wrong.
