I beleive that Jesus was here 2k+ years ago, but there is no real evidence irl and in the bible that supports a 6k year old planet. its just full of assumptions.

If we are to go by the Bible, God made the promise is Abraham around 6k years ago, and ect ect.

The 'world' flood may just have been the nile river or any other areas flooding a huge area that involved Noah's ark. In many religious texts there are talks about such a flood and ect.

I believe in God and the concept of evolution. Just not that the universe came from noting. Makes more sense for something to create something. But then where did that creator come from? Every theory has this problem on a philosophical level. Imo you can beleive in both science and religion.

I just typed this up fast and it isn't really well put together, hopefully you understand my points and ideas.

That might work for the seven days of creation but does nothing for the idea that the earth is 6000 years old because this idea is derived from the biblical accounts of the lives of men. If 1 day = 1000 years then the oldest man in the Torah, Methuselah, who purportedly lived for 969 years (which is already obviously bullshit) actually lived for 353,685,000 years and if you tell me you believe that purely on the Torah and folk stories then you are beyond any kind of help.

believing in god and the concept of evolution? those don't go together.

unless you mean you believe the concept but don't think it happened?

you seem to be straddling the fence but too fearful to lean too far either way.

I'll take my chances.
On a serious note, what is the social response to someone leaving their faith or blasheming in Israel?

...so here's a question for you or anyone else who wants to reply...given all the scientific evidence that supports evolution and a planet Earth that is 4.54 billion years old do you still hold onto the possibility that things could have happened just as the Bible records them ?

well anything's possible

We've had this conversation before... no reputable secular scientist asserts that the universe comes from nothing. Not your definition of nothing anyway. You told me you'd look this up - obviously you haven't.

You 'can't' believe in science and believe in religion because religion is unconfirmable by the scientific method. You have to violate your belief in the ability of the scientific method to explain our reality in order to take the unsupportable positive stance on God and in your case even more so because you believe in the Christian god specifically. The Christian god invented by Jews around the time of the Persian invasion of Judaea when they adapted the Zoroastrian religion to fit their own narrative.

...that's your personal opinion and not the position of institutions like the Roman Catholic Church .
