“Why should we want to know WHY they believe it?”
Because that’s how it works. Every textbook that says ‘this being lived 59 million years ago’ they also explain how they know this.
Science doesn’t just make shit up, they tell you what told them that.
“What if they have some good argument Im not smart enough to think up an argument against? It seems dangerous to listen to them.”
Oh. You’re afraid that people who are smarter than you are manipulating you? THen…why do you listen to any religious authorities? What if you’re just not smart enough to see what horrible liars Kent Hovind or Ray Comfort are?
“Dont get me wrong I love this life and I think its a precious thing. Its the most precious gift God has given us.”
So maybe God gave us science?
“But who cares if science has made us live longer or made us more knowledgable.”
He said on the internet….
“ In the kingdom of heaven we will know all things and live forever.”
Okay, you’re a coward. Stew in your own ignorance, then. Just don’t pretend it’s a superior position.
“All that does is make the bible look wrong.”
Well, yes.
"Wouldnt we all be better off if we just accepted the answer to everything is that God did it so we can get back to living our lives for Him as He intended?”
No.
