I'm very confused here. Your religious views say you're open-minded, but then you proudly proclaim that you're ignorant and uneducated.

Yeah, you guys have a "gap theory" for a whole lot of stuff.
"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould

God says that the world was without form and void(proceeding Gods Judgement on the life before man) before adam and eve.
Adam and eve where told to replenish the earth.

Dinosaurs do not debunk the Bible.

Does at all strike you as suspect that you have to create your own explanations to support your conclusions?

Also this dumbass doesn't realize that anatomically modern humans emerged 100,000 BCE.

I'm wondering what is meant by "created man" in this context. There were, after all, cities before this. Cultures. There might have been written records preceding this (not sure, will check). So what does the idea of man being created 4000BC mean?

He has at least conceded that the earth existed before 4000BC, so I'm not giving up hope that he is redeemable.

Also, the first basic system of writing was in existence around 3500-3000 BC in Sumeria, so you're about right Natachan.
