Creationists, in your view...?

...are those scientists who use carbon dating, foster the belief in evolution, and refute certain parts of the bible doing so because they truly believe what they say? Or do you think there is a vicious lie being perpetrated for other reasons, such as to undermine Christianity or to intentionally mislead people for other reasons? Also, do you think fossils are real and mistakenly dated, or are they man-made?

Thanks in advance.

    An OEC (Old Earth Creationist) has no problem believing both, and the added benefit of being supported by both the Bible and modern science. Feel free to E-mail me.

    No, those fossils are definitely real, and prehistorics DID exists... the question is when, and how do they fit into a creationist's view.

    My opinion is the GAP theory.

    Genesis 1:1-2 reads "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth... NOW the earth was formless and void and darkness fell upon the face of the deep."

    The "NOW" suggests a NEW state or condition, not original. I believe it was between the creation of the heavens and the earth, to the time when it was NOW formless, void and submerged in water--- that prehistoric existed, satan's fall, the creation of angels etc etc.

    Genesis 1 vs 3 starts with the restoration of the earth and the creation of humanity etc.

    I do NOT think HUMANITY (as we know it today) evolved.

    This leaves plenty room for the fossils to be that old, as well

    Take care!

    I don't know why you think there is a war between science and religion. What parts of the Bible is science refuting? You speak with no knowledge. The discovery of super volcanoes supports Revelation 16:17-21. Super volcano is also in Qur'an and Book of Mormon.

    fossils are real and mistakenly dated. Not all people intentionally mislead people because most people believe that evolution is true so they most likely would think that others that do not agree with them are trying to mislead peeps.

    I think they are mistakenly dated because in the bible it says this“Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you;He eats grass like an ox.16 See now, his strength is in his hips,And his power is in his stomach muscles 17 He moves his tail like a cedar;The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. 18 His bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron.

    Now plz tell me what animal has a tail like a cedar tree and is a behemoth?

    Behemoth means A huge or monstrous creature
