Chrom. What do you say to a Young Earth Creationist that states if the Earth were 4.5 billion years old, there would be bone piles all over the place?
I know bones disintegrate, so the statement “there should be bone piles all over the place” doesn't fit a decomposition model.
The global problem I have is, I am around a bunch of good-hearted people that profess, if the KJV of the Bible said something, to them, that is the way it happened. NIV or Living bible to some is like a comic book compared to a history book. (my inflated example)
The most workable thoughts I have are, be friends for the things we agree on and let the differences pass.
Plate tectonics, glaciations features, dinosaur remains, layered sedimentary rock formations, coal deposits, gas and oil fields, minerals deposited by meteors or sea creatures all around me. Things that take time, pressure, temperature changes and to them the great flood explains it all,
