Yes, that he's a "seperate entity" existing above and beyond us, his creations, which is where the whole idea goes down the tubes.

I thought it was Archbishop Usher who said that. Where in the bible does it say it?

Probably in the same place stating that archbiscops is needed for the vertical communication.

God exists, it's a subatomic particle that links us all as per the OT

It doesn't but if you track back through the list of all the descendants on Adam and Eve it appears to be somewhere between below 10,000 years old.

A misunderstanding, I do not claim religions are essentially a scam, but the criticism voiced against them is valid. As per 'god', I clarified Einstein/Spinoza's position, which I respect, but my beliefs are not identical.

Apologies for misrepresenting your position. I should probably add that I was probably being a bit glib regarding religions, since buried under some their mythologies are underlying truths about compassion, karma and decent behavior. Although I reject most of the specific Christian and Buddhist doctrines, I still feel a closeness to both religions because of some of the underlying truths that they represent.

Life spans were different back then. Not that hard to believe really.

How Old Is The Earth?

There's plenty of links, here's another there says about 6000 years old
How old is the earth according to the Bible?

I guess that the dinosaurs and other findings from millions of years back, is just propaganda from none believing evil cults...

This dude here is 160.000 years old, so something ain't adding up in the bible and the Adam and Eve story.....

Wonder why? Must have been the advanced health care system and medical technology available at the time and somehow lost over a relatively short time. Note Ramses II the longest lived Pharaoh, lived to the ripe old age of 91.

Why don't you's lot just fok off?!

Do you seriously think I am bothered about what a bunch of internet timewasters think? eh?

I've got heaps better things to be doing than hanging out on a chat forum arguing the toss with a bunch of doubting Thomas's anyway.

And another thing, how the fok can I be posting on this forum anyway if I don't exist? eh?

And I bet you all think your still in with a chance at the pearly gates coz your hiding behind some anonymous internet nic do you? well I'm omniscient I am so think again he he!!!

On what day did you create Teak Door, Almighty Smiter?

I don't remember I think it was a Thursday. Yes that's right because I normally do my shopping on a Thursday but I had to wait in that day for a delivery of hellfire and brimstone.

You's atheists can bring it on by the way. What the fok do I care. Do you think I enjoy sitting listening to a bunch bleaters whining for my divine intercession. Fok the lot of 'em. I'm off to Pat's for the weekend to tie one on.
