Seriously man, stop mixing up your little faith with science because you can't win, and in the end you just end up playing with semantics. There is nothing to believe, like I said, the sky will always be blue whether you or I believe it or not.
Dude, that's the thing. We're both making our arguments based on science. The difference is the education of that science, and the presuppositionprior to interpreting it that goes behind it. If someone where looking at a dinosaur bone with the idea that there is a God, being the christian God, than they would assume that "it gave such an appearance as it does keeping in mind that the global flood and weight of water could possibly alter it's qualities".
Someone who has decided to deny what the bible has to say might take these altered "qualities" differently, saying "hmm these appear to show such and such indicating they would be this old. That is why christian science tends to agree with a 10,000 year old earth rather than a 4.5 billion year old one. That changes a lot of what secular science says, such as evolution (something that would take millions of years to occure). You see there is a very scientifically secure ground in which christianity stands on.

To put it this way, IF (for the sake of the argument here) the bible were correct, than using it as a scientific refrence would be the most accurate and intellegent way to propel scientific discovery. Think about it, the bible claims to be the "book of Life"...the "how to" book to how and what humanity is supposed to live (not by it's examples mind you, but by it's moral lessons when they are finally learned)...surely any wisdom and knowledge that humanity might gain in the field of science would come from God as humanity has this way of twisting thigns. IF the bible is true...but arguments against christianity that people claim to be from science are never that formidable...thought evolution caught on with a lot of people
