Thank you ( : I started believing in semi-creationism when I converted 11 years ago and a few years ago started believing in the theory stronger when I was given sight and hearing by two miracles a saw and heard everything for myself and thought (there’s no way this evolved in more than 100 million years ) I don’t understand how someone could be angry/hostile towards a person though:slapfight:

God bless

That sounds like quite a powerful miracle! Personal evidence like that cannot be refuted and yes, there is no way evolution can produce such things. I’ve had many smaller occurrences in my life - let’s say spiritual sight and healing also.
Once you start researching the various conflicting claims about evolution it becomes clear that it all falls apart under scrutiny.

The anger, even among fellow Catholics, comes from a desire to be accepted by the secular world, and a fear of appearing unenlightened (the Galileo syndrome). So, evolution becomes like a sacred doctrine and they will attack anybody who questions it.

We have one Catholic already here, recommending a book by a militant atheist in order to support a belief about evolution. It goes farther - people will deny belief in Original Sin in order to uphold the flimsy notions of materialist evolution. It causes people to deny infallible teachings, deny the redemption of Christ, and eventually deny the power of God.

Of course not. But that is not what I am trying to say. Dynasores were real.

Firstly, its Dinosaurs! 😉

There is evidence for creationism in the Bible. In the Ten Commandments, carved in stone by God himself, it says “In six days the Lord God made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that in them is”. Now you can interpret six days as six periods of time if you wish, that isn’t necessarily inconsistent with the scripture. What is inconsistent is to say that some process created life when the Bible clearly says that creation is God’s work.

God wrote on the tablets without the help of evolution or a human hand.

What is written in Bible is only a statement without any justification. The act of creation is timeless and cannot be performed in six days.

Within a rib, the scientists found fragments of proteins, likely from the collagen in the bone’s vascular canals. Those canals were also polka-dotted with collections of hematite – an iron oxide that may have come in part from hemoglobin and other iron-rich proteins in the dinosaur’s red blood cells. It’s possible that this iron may have acted as an antioxidant, the authors wrote, preventing the proteins from decaying further.

They don’t know.

It did not decay in supposedly 195 million years.

One possibility is that the bone is not that old.

God could tell us that He acted in an equivalence to 6 days so that we would have some frame of reference.
 
What everyone seems to overlook, and I’ve posted this in other threads on the topic, is this. That Genesis is a divinely revealed account of creation, the purpose being to tell us about God and his relation to his creation, especially man. It was not intended to tell us the age of the earth or the cosmos.

Having written that intro, here’s a great article on the meaning of the first chapters of Genesis, which puts the whole “when was the earth and man created” debate out of court because, once again, it doesn’t matter in the least when it happened: ocabs.org/journal/index.php/jocabs/article/viewFile/43/18.
