Religion. The most inconsistant novel around? ?
1) Can someone tell me how they justify the world being less than 10k years old?
2) Do you not believe in stars? What about the speed of light telescopes wouldn't work nor would our eyes if it was instant.
3) Or if the world was created for humans why not make the sun revolve around us?
4) What did dinosaurs mean to us? If the world was created for humans then they had to be here for us.
5) Tell me why there are Unicorns in the bible. I thought it wasn't supposed to be a fairy tale
6) Also CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE THE WORD HEAVEN MEANS A HOLY PLACE?!?! It means sky. Nothing more.
7) Also how did Noah fit every duet of animals together with no food. This would mean all of the dinosaurs, every African animal, and every breed of cat and dog. Because they couldn't evolve to another type. You'd have to have each breed captive. Every insect too.
8) How big was this boat? 450ft? Why is it when you have wood to work with you can't make a board that long? OH THATS RIGHT IT BREAKS UNDER ITS WEIGHT. Wood can't be over a certain length because it will break under it's own weight. No matter how thin or thick. Still answer my questions I'll post more later. Think of this as a brain teaser for useless information generated over 1000's of years.
8) it was 450ft now add the weight of the animals to that every type of dinosaur. Along with all the animals of today. Remember 800 species of dinosaurs along with 1 billion insects and small land animals.
To link strikes back. The way a telescope works as your eyes is affected by light not being instantaneous. I'm not ignorant don't even begin to think I am.
As for believing in stars. If the light from the galaxy Andromeda takes 2.5 million years to reach us. For us to see it, we would have to have been here for how long? 2.5 million years. We can see a radius with Hubble how far? 13.7 billion years? Wow something is coming together here.

Good points, as a Christian I never thought of the hubble.
I'll try to answer those and not give you some stupid crap.
1)--(I don't have sources right now for these) but there are several natural phenomenon such as underwater volcanoes wich point to a young earth at least less than 100,000 years old
2) I do believe in stars, they are there. it's obvious. now our eyes are perfect for our environment if it took millions of years for us to get our eyes this way, then man would have been blind millions of years ago and probably not have survived, our eye had to be like this from the moment the 1st man (or monkey as evo's think) was on earth in order to see and survive
3) I don't know why God made us revolve around the sun
4) The epic poem Beowulf describes a battle in Denmark between a man named Beowulf and a terrible monster called Grendel. Beowulf was a real person. He lived from A.D. 495 to 583, and was king of a group of people known as the Geatingas. Grendel was a bipedal creature that possessed large, powerful jaws, and had small, weak forearms. (Beowulf slew him, you may recall, by tearing off one of those arms.) As Bill Cooper inquired:
Is there a predatory animal from the fossil record known to us, who had two massive hindlegs and two comparatively puny forelimbs? There is indeed.... I doubt that the reader needs to be guided by me as to which particular species of predatory dinosaur the details of his physical description fit best
Could it be—Tyrannosaurus rex?! Why not? It is after all a true story.
Since most dinosaurs were no larger than cows, could not humans have lived among them and even trained some (and not for circus shows) after all we train elephants and vicious lions, we leave Komodo dragons alone though. Dinosaur as a word wasnt' invented until the 1840's by Richard Owen up until that point they were called dragons as in the bible and every culture throughout history says they were.
Few people seem to care that ancient art depicts Indians riding these creatures, or that certain ancient Chinese writings mention dinosaur-like creatures pulling the chariots of Chinese rulers. History itself states dinosaurs lived beside humans, why is it so denied now
5)not the unicorns in fairy tales
6)Heaven does mean sky, so what?
7)Noah's ark, He had food on the ark, plus the dinosaurs he took more than likely werent full grown but were instead younglings no bigger than a dog (or cow) your wrong about cats and dogs though, even evolution promotes changes WITHIN a species, A cat can't become a dog but it can become a different type of cat. God told Noah to get 2 of each kind or type, so he only had 2 cats, not two persian and two simease and two hairless, see what I mean
8)Again your right wood no matte how big does break under it's own pressure, but it was built similar to a house, with supports in correct places to distribute the weigh evenly throughout the whole structure.
Hope this helps
God bless

1) don't know
2)don't care
3)because the earth is pulled by the sun's gravity.

6)OVERVIEW
In the Bible, heaven can mean two things. First, it refers to the sky and all that's in it (the stars, clouds, and air). This is often called "the heavens" instead of just heaven. Sometimes this space is also called the "lower heaven." It is a physical place that we can see and feel. We read about the heavens in passages such as these:
1. Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2. Psalm 19:1: The heavens tell of the glory of God. / The skies display his marvelous craftsmanship.
3. 1 Corinthians 15:40: There are bodies in the heavens, and there are bodies on earth. The glory of the heavenly bodies is different from the beauty of the earthly bodies.
The second meaning for heaven is called "upper heaven." It is not a place that we can see and feel; it is a spiritual place. This is what we are talking about when we say that when someone dies he or she goes to heaven. This is where God's people gather around the throne of God. We read about heaven in passages such as these:
1. Genesis 28:12: As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from earth to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down on it.
2. Nehemiah 9:6: You alone are the Lord. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve and give life to everything, and all the angels of heaven worship you. [This shows both uses of the term.]
3. Luke 6:23: A great reward awaits you in heaven.
The Hebrew word for heaven was understood to be plural. It referred to more than one thing.
7&8)n 1851, British archaeologists discovered hundreds of clay tablets while digging in ancient Babylon.
It was 20 years later that British Museum assistant George Smith became the first person to read them. He found the story of Gilgamesh, which bore strong similarities to that of Noah. He was visited by the great gods, who decided there would be a great deluge, told him to make a boat and carry in it the seed of all living things.
Further Iraqi texts were discovered, showing the story emerged in Mesopotamia. And in the 1930s conclusive evidence of a huge flood in the area about 5,000 years ago - the time of the story of Noah - was found.
there is a great percentage chance that noah's ark is true
and if i may ask why DO YOU BELIEVE that the bible is some sort of joke get this clear; THE BIBLE IS REAL!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE FELT IT, I KNOW IT IS REAL.

1) Did God say in the bible exactly how old the earth is?
2) Bible says stars exist, God created them, and they are innumerable.
3) The world was created for us....look at the design just of our solar system, for that matter look at what the scientists say about earth....(if it were slightly closer or farther away from its current position life would not be possible, is that not God, things do not happen "perfectly")
4) Is there any proof of them, concrete DNA evidence? Does the bible specifically say they weren't here? Were there any archaeologists in ye olden days?
5) Unicorns biblically refers to an animal like a water buffalo. Not like the fairy tale creation of the medieval period.
6) Thier are more than one heaven mentioned in the bible and all aer defined. Our sky, our universe outside our atmosphere, and where God himself is.
7) Where does the bible say Noah loaded up dinosaurs...never read that part...maybe you have a different copy : )
8) Where does the bible say the ark was made..
Genesis 6
15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. [d] 16 Make a roof for it and finish [e] the ark to within 18 inches [f] of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.
Only said how big it was...not that it was made from single 450 ft pieces. All things are possible with God...even building a boat when you never have before!! God bless!! ; )

Ok you got as far as point two before you went wrong.
"Do you not believe in stars? What about the speed of light telescopes wouldn't work nor would our eyes if it was instant."
A light year is the distance light can travel in one year, this is used to calculate redshift and many astronomical matters.
Basically one of the principles of all modern astronomy and the big bang theory is light needs time to travel.
Edit: Ha I missread it, sorry.

You're not making any sense. You have jumbled up, mixed and matched many things to suit your argument. You haven't made any attempt to properly translate, place into context or align the time line properly. I don't think your interested in knowing the truth so I won't offer any.
