The cornerstone of belief in a 6,000-year-old earth rests solely on the genealogies , which just to make it clear sometimes the jews skiped

I did know it’s been said that some generations were skipped over.

es such as the genealogy of Moses, which appears four separate times in Scripture (Exodus 6:16-20, Numbers 26:57-59, 1 Chronicles 6:1-3, 23:6-13). Moses’ genealogy is given as Levi to Kohath to Amran to Moses. As straightforward related Bible passages show that several generations were likely skipped between Amram and Moses

so "we dont know " if the complete geneology has skiped some names
prior to Abraham, there is little available Biblical or historical information on which to build a solid chronology
and rember son means alot of things in hewbrew
 
I just don’t know what to believe. Young earth, old earth? I’m going to Mass Sunday at a service that’s a little different from the one I used to go to. Maybe I’ll actually like it enough to go back.
If I did, this whole thing wouldn’t matter.

Upright fossils of trees through horizontal strata?

What are you discussing specifically? Are you talking about fossilised wood? Or tree rings?

Stratigraphy and how we can read the layers of the earth is really another topic. But since this is going to be closed anyway we can start here if it is ok with hope as it has to do with ageing of the earth.

BTW I know plenty of scientists , and specifically molecular biologists, Geologists and Palaeontologists who are Catholic and have no trouble with the belief that God created everything including Dinosaurs. To say that maybe the devil put fossils there or aged them prematurely doesn’t work because we age through half lives. Also there is so much evidence for Dinosaurs that they existed.

Is that what you guys are disputing? The Existence of Dinosaurs?

yom also has other meanings besides ‘day’ or anything to do with ‘day’

also a topic for another thread
 
yeah i know i pointed out on how it has many meanings like times , era ,etc

Yes we could get into the whole translation of the Creation story from Biblical Hebrew to the LXX and some of the points of debate surrounding those translations, but I fear that would confuse Hope further.

That’s fine with me. Also I messaged the mod and they’re going to keep the thread open longer.
 
If we can help you draw closer to where you stand on this, it is of benefit.
 
I’ve heard the theory that Satan put fossils there before, but never from Catholics.
 
This theory would lead to the devil being allowed by God to put false hoods everywhere. We could say, false houses, false societies, false Catholic Churches, false foods , false water courses…

Would God really allow the devil to do that? False medicines, people who are not people, …etc

Molecular biologists are against evolution?

Molecular biology argues against evolution. The study at level of dna or even a level above that, amino acids, argues against evolution . Probability of twists and turns of the dna molecule or the arrangement of aas being random , being achievable on their own through ‘mutations’, so astronomically high, that any sane man would give up and say, ok, I give up

But this is well known

The upright fossilised trees through what geologists say are millions of years’ worth of sedimentation. See it doesn’t compute. Old earth vs young earth. It fits the thread.

Do you have a link to the upright fossilised trees.
Are you saying these are not trees but sediments, or are you saying they are buried in layers of sediment.

Hope said she had been talking to the mods and they were going to allow it to stay open 🙂
 
This is from Kolbecenter.org

All over the world one can find polystrate fossils which cut through multiple layers of sedimentary rock, layers which, according to the conventional evolutionary time-scale, were deposited over tens or hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years. The existence of polystrate fossils, like the tree trunk shown below, testifies to the rapid and catastrophic deposition of sediments and contradicts the Lyellian understanding of sedimentary deposition.

From “evidence for a global flood”
