My wife recently heard my 8 year old son telling his mate that God was not real, just like Santa Claus. So today I gave him a quick quiz:
Son, when did dinosaurs walk he earth?
Millions of year ago, Dad
65 million years ago to be approximate. How long do Christians think the universe has been around?
Dunno Dad, how many
6000 years
Wow, that's not long. Are dinosaurs real?
Sure are. Bones have been discovered and scientific evidence says they walked the earth 65m years ago
So we know dinosaurs have been around a lot longer but some people think the universe is only 6000 years old
Yep
They must be idiots Dad.
As far as I know the Bible claims the universe is 6000 years old. We know dinosaurs were here 65.5m years ago so this is inaccurate. In fact it is so inaccurate that the Bible isn't even remotely close.
Some believe dinosaurs are a myth (we're talking some serious idiots here)
Some believe dinosaurs roamed the earth along with humans 6000 years ago (more idiots)
And some believe the Bible is incorrect. They pick and choose which bits to believe.
So what the problem with this?
If you believe the Bible literally you should be certified as insane
And if you pick and choose you MUST accept the Bible is a mere set of ethics, and given you believe some are relevant and others are not, then th whole think about God and omnipotence and immaculate design is complete bunk.
Yet so many want to have a bet each way. "Even though I reject parts of the Bible I still believe God to be true and bible to an ultimate source of guidance".
