Oh right, you don't understand since you don't have the Holy Spirit, silly of me to assume you'd get it.
Genesis 1:1-3
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
This matches up that Earth was measured to be the correct distance from the sun to be able to sustain life. It was measured by God.
I am scared and want immediate answers? It appears to me that you are the one asking the 20 questions and not prepared to make a decision.
You want to talk about my fear? I'll tell you what I fear.
Matthew 10:28
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
That is a fear but it is a healthy fear is it not? Do you not fear your boss? Ever heard of don't cross the boss?
What I don't understand is why you think there is a battle between Science and Religion? I fail to see where the collisions lie. Tell me, if the Earth is billions of years old or if the Earth of 6,000 years old, will that factor into your decision making whether or not to steal that loaf of bread from the bakery?
What you fail to realize is what the Bible teaches and what we supposedly already know came from God. The Bible is full of examples that explain why we act the way we do. Then again you wouldn't believe me even if I posted the verses would you? You still don't have the Holy Spirit to help you understand.
You had one simple job to provide concrete evidence about the magic in the bible. You failed.
How long ago was the biblical flood claim? 5000ish years ago according to the bible. You gave me grand canyon and sandstone tepeats as some kind of attempt like you know what you are talking about.
Grand canyon was formed over many millions of years not just 5000 years = fail
You talked about pangea and how the biblical flood made the once joint landmass separate after the flood.... I countered that pangea is known to be around 240million years ago through a very slow process of shifting tectonic plates which is still shifting at present. = fail
You have provided just one spot on earth to explain a global flood. Yet for global flood requires GLOBAL PROOF at the same time period of 5000 years. This you have not provided. = fail.
Now you are trying to tell what's the difference between 6000 years and billions of years if you can't make a decision to steal or not to steal. = fail.
This is a classic deflection by moving the goal posts. An intelligent person who isn't under effects of religious koolaid would conclude the biblical flood didn't happen because there are overwhelming evidence against it and very weak to no evidence for it.
This should tell you the bible is fallible and cannot be a word of an infallible, perfect, omnipotent being. But is likely a work of very flawed iron age dirt farmer (with a god complex) from middle east who is desperately trying to sound smart.
