Questions about Evolutionism vs. Creationsim

[MusicalElf11]

1) How long were the days of Genesis 1 and why do you think so?
2) How old is the earth and why do you think so?
3) Do humans and apes share common ancestors and why do you think so?
4) Was Adam of Genesis 2 a real historical person and why do you think so?
 

1) Each day lasted from sunup to sundown, that is how the jews of c. 500 BCE understood the length of a day to be.
2) Approx 4.5bn years, based on an overwhelming amount of evidence in support of such a figure.
3) Yes, for the same reasons as 2)
4) No, Adam in Gen. 2 was both a biological impossibility and flat out contradicted the creation myth (untrue also) in Gen. 1.

Let me guess, you're going to start spouting creatard bullshit at me, right? If so hold your breath, firstly as part of the reality based community I'll disregard the shit you're trying to drag in (except to point and laugh at you), secondly as part of the reality based community, unlike you, I've actually read up on this so have a general grasp of what is behind the ideas you're laughingly trying to disprove, and thirdly if you hold your breath long enough you'll increase humanity's sum total of intelligence.

Haha, no I'm not going to try to prove anything I believe unless you ask. It would just be annoying to both you and me. But thanks for the reply!

If you don't mind my asking though, how is Adam a biological impossibility that contradicted creation? I've never heard that stance before, and I'm curious as to what your arguments are for it. (If you do mind my asking, don't feel like you have to answer me or anything.)

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

1. 24 hours or just nonexistent, if you believe it's a fake story?

2. Could you describe what radiometric dating was used as proof? I've been able to study it somewhat, and when measuring the half-lives of different substances, we find different results. Which specific elements were you referring to? And what other evidences?

3. The evidence is indisputable. Which evidence? Transitional fossils or something else?

4. How do you know he is a myth?

1. While fictional, the book describes a 24 hour day. Harry Potter is a "fake story" too. They deal with 24 hour days as well.

2. For fracks sake. I'm not your geology teacher. You do the research (instead of spouting regurgitated creationist BS) if you really want the answers.

3. For fraks sake. I'm not your biology teacher. You do the research (instead of spouting regurgitated creationist BS) if you really want the answers.

4. Because it's in a self-contradictory, demonstrably erroneous book that only makes sense as a book of myths and legends.

Theists like you are a dime a dozen around here. What ever you're fishing for, why don't you just skip the fishing and make your horrendous, repeatedly debunked claim already.

Thanks for the reply. I would do the research myself, except the requirements were to go and interview other people. Finding answers from journals or other articles wouldn't have sufficed.

I won't make any claim unless you ask me too, like @Alex K did. I'm just here to gather your point of view.
