    So if there is a God who created the entire universe with galaxies, stars, planets, all the life on Earth etc., why is it impossible for him to have also created fossils with the right Carbon 14 isotopes?

    For the record, I'm agnostic, but isn't that sort of thing encompassed by the definition of omnipotent?

      yes, the braggadocio hangs together with the
      omniscient and omnipotent caveats. . the fascinating
      thing is that he wants to use these in the creationism
      museum. -- j

    I don't believe that I've ever read or heard that a reputable theologian claimed that the world is 6,000 years old. In point of fact, most of what I've read on the subject puts the time of Moses around 3500 years ago, and Adam and Eve considerably before that.

      in my experience, they avoid discussing just how
      the creation process fits our human timeline. . but
      it is humorous when a guy comes face-to-face
      with it like this. . "Hi, Doofus! . I'm sixty million years
      old. . Whaddya think about that, huh?" -- j
