Science affirms the Bible it does not refute it. The Earth is 4.5 Billion years old apx. If you bothered to read Genesis you would see that God made the heavens and the Earth. The Earth became empty and lifeless and it was then that He made it fit for life again. That means that there was life previous to that first day here.

Of course there was life previous to that first day here.
And it's still here. Just sleeping, waiting until the stars are right.

Bats are not birds, insects have more than four legs, and rabbits don't chew cud. You lose.
And some of them are still here, with their presence being kept hidden by nameless mysterious cults in which they are worshipped.
:D

Ia R'lyeh!
@A Friend:
A lot of people I know take it as metaphorical, so I'm not so sure it really is fundie, it's more just someone making a deviation in their belief to make it suit the reality that surrounds them. Which is kinda the opposite of a fundie.
This person sees flaws in their bible, so they are disregarding the 'facts' in the bible, and merely reinterpreting their religious findings to suit the new findings.
Well everything except the first sentence. (I really must say well done to whoever chose this quote and didn't take it out of context).
The first verses of Genesis do give translators some problems. The current idea is that the opening words are a phrase attached to the main clause of the sentence, rather than a sentence in its own right.
Perhaps "myturn59" is aware of this latest scholarship - yet somehow I doubt it...
Moving those goalposts again, eh? Even the Catholic church had to admit Galileo was right after all, and in recent years had to accept the concept of expansion of the universe. And of course very recently, they had to admit that Limbo was merely a 'theological concept' (which doesn't say much for the rest of their established dogma!).
So, when will you fundies realise that Darwin was right all along? Maybe this will push you in the right direction:
FACT: Humans share at least 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees.
Try and move THOSE goalposts, fundies. If you can.

The earth is not set on pillars above "the deep", and is not held in place, since it constantly moves. Also, there is no "firmament" above the earth on which the stars are stuck on.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
