Yea, Im late, so you get two.
The earth is 6,000 years old some would say.
Utter bullshit I would reply.
The young earth creationists believe that the bible is literal, well, let's disassemble it literally.
If Adam and Eve existed in the time of the dinosaurs, why has there never been dinosaur bones found along with human bones? Furthermore, why are dinosaurs never mentioned in the bible?
It's simple, Humans and Dinosaurs never existed together. More specifically, those who wrote the bible never encountered dinosaurs, nor their bones, therefore, they are not mentioned.
Other religions can make claim to having contacted dinosaurs (dragons) but they claim the earth to be significantly older and they equate dragons as godly or supernatural. Specifically not mortal.
The book is filled with exclusions like this. If you'll notice, all the action takes place in the middle east, not once does any event take place anywhere else. Even the letters to the greeks were written in the middle east.
What happened to the rest of the world? Clearly the world was populated, but the book entirely neglects any other culture.
Because, yet again, the authors never traveled anywhere and never met anyone new.
The entirety of the christian faith is based on mythologies of that area, mixed in with a fairly large number of rather universal religious references (cross, sun, star, the number 12, virgin birth, betrayal, return from death, etc)
The book of mormon has a more exacting description of history, and their theory is batshit crazy.
So how can a religious movement claim superiority over agreed upon scientific historical notations?
They can't.
The universe is 6,000 years old because they say it is, there is no fact, no science, nothing that supports that theory. All they have is Oral tradition of a mythology that eventually got turned into a book. A book which for whatever reason they choose to take literally.
