The Church has calculated for the Scriptures and other sources the period of time between Adam and Christ (I forget the exact figure, but someone posted it in the previous thread - edwest, I think). It is close to the figure claimed by Orthodox Jews, which means Adam was created no more than 6000 years ago.
 
There are established facts, stronger than simple data which can’t be denied.

Theories only become theories when they are substantiated strongly by confirmed facts. There is a reason evolution is titled a theory, not just a hypothesis.

Wow I must have missed that in all my years, be so kind as to provide the source?
 
I need to look that up later. My researcher has left for X-mas hols, so I’ll have to do to myself. Stay tuned.

I do not think you are up to speed on the latest about evolution.

The fossil record shows abrupt appearance, stasis and variation within.
The DNA record has felled the tree of life.

Are you even aware of these two?
 
“The oldest fossil remains of anatomically modern humans are the Jebel Irhoud fossils from Morocco which are approximately 300,000 years old”

Uh, carbon dating cannot go back past around 55000 BP. Nice try though.

So, explain in your own words how they came up with the age.
 
As a layman, I wouldn’t know, and unless you are a trained paleontologist, neither would you.

They don’t put things in the Smithsonian unless they are verified as being authentic with a battery of tests. They don’t mislabel bones.
 
Oh my. LIttle do you know what frauds made it into the Smithsonian. Admitted frauds.

Simple, they didn’t use carbon dating. They used thermoluminescence dating.

You have completley missed my point: Why would a loving God choose a process billions of years of suffering, violence and death when all that misery and horror could be avoided by instead using instantaneous creation?

Why would a loving God allow even one day of suffering? One second of suffering?

Ask yourself who was it that created the serpent in Eden; the serpent that was present before Eve ate the fruit. The serpent whose future actions were all exactly foreseen by the omniscient God at the instant He created the serpent.

If evil exists, and God created everything (except Himself), then what Isaiah says is correct: “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” Isaiah 45:7.

They used a different dating method which can go back further.

You - We know by carbon dating how old bones are, so yes, we know when man appeared, or at least at what date he definitely existed.

Admittedly that is rare, and despite that, there are many other specimens which are older than 5000 or 6000 years old. In other reputable museums.

Okay, let me expand on that, scientific dating methods, including carbon dating and others.
