They're just theories. Opinions. I don't like them much.
I have my own theories, wanna hear about them?

That's become painfully obvious.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

comparing time periods lets say if creationists believed in and are finally convinced that it is real.
lets say they still believe this world is only six thousand years old and counting. the problem would be how would
animals and plants human beings would evolve so fast including the fact dinosaurs are extinct before those six thousand years.
this is one of the issues you can look at it in my new pdf one day.

It's living in a fairy tale within a fairy tail if you're a young earther. You deny what is real, and accept what is not.
Blimey.

But the Bible is sooo much easier than science. You don't have to do all that haaaard thinking stufff.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Yet science is not all that hard to comprehend.
In fact, it takes more effort to trick one's mind into believing nonsense written in the bible and viewing an evil sky daddy as good.

Yes, that is what gets me. Science, at least the basics, is not hard at all, and makes sense. You just need someone to explain it well, or the right material to get you started.
But making yourself believe in a grown up santa claus... I literally could not do it, not matter how much I wanted to. And no matter how many times I "go and read the bible". The words don't change, neither does the fact that it's a book of unsupported and often unfalsifiable claims.
If there's anyone who still doesn't understand why an unfalsifiable claim is entirely useless, please ask or PM me and I'll explain again.
