Something is Awry with the Timeline (Conclusion)
By L. S. Su

The above timeline is being taught in schools today. The above timeline has been taught for so long, that many people have accepted the above timeline is fact rather than a theory. It has gotten to the point if a dinosaur bone is unearthed and they can figure what type of dinosaur it was, they then consult the above timeline (without any type of radiometric dating performed on the bones). However, the above timeline is being challenged today with a fairly recent find: Not all dinosaur bones are fully petrified.

Dr. Mary Schweitzer, associate professor of marine, earth, and atmospheric sciences at North Carolina State University, surprised scientists in 2005 when she reported finding soft tissue (collagen) in dinosaur bones. She started a firestorm of controversy in 2007 and 2008 when she reported that she had sequenced proteins in the dinosaur bone. The presence of collagen in bones means there are still carbon 14 atoms (a radioactive isotope) present.

Based on the relatively short half life of carbon-14, Scientist had previously thought that all carbon-14 atoms would have departed the bone after 100,000 years. This has now proven to no longer be the case and you can now attempt to measure the age of bones themselves via carbon 14 dating, rather the soil samples near the bones by a less accurate radiometric dating method with longer half lives (e.g. Potassium-argon, Uranium-lead, Rubidium-strontium).

Dr. Schwitzer is not the only scientist that has found tissue inside dinosaur bones that have not fully fossilized, but other scientists have also found dinosaur bones with measurable amounts of carbon inside the bone. But when their findings do not match the above timeline, their findings are currently being dismissed as "obviously wrong" by those who hold high positions in the scientific publication community. This new discovery in the 21st century is going to cause objective scientists to review all the assumptions that were made in the construction of the timeline. I believe that it is a matter of time before objective scientists accept that the above time line is inaccurate, because at this point scientists would either need prove that collagen is not being found inside dinosaur bones or that carbon 14 radiometric dating is no longer a valid dating method.

So does the Bible provide enough information for us to construct a timeline? Let's go over the Biblical account on how life on Earth came about. However, before doing so, I want to bring out the point that what academia teaches compared to what the Bible teaches is fundamentally different. So from the get-go, it is not possible to say both are correct.

One school of thought is that life evolved. The other school of thought is that life was created. The later requires intelligence, skill and artistic passion; and thus it requires a Creator. The act of evolving does not require a creator, because Evolutionists believe that life will "find a way" and moves towards a higher and higher level of complexity on its own; and thus no intelligent designer with supernatural powers to overcome the 2nd law of thermodynamics (entropy) is required to make life happen.

From my perspective, if there was no Creator, then it is far more likely for nature to produce the object on the left than on the right. If you have difficulties believing that nature can make the object on the left, I would think you should have greater difficulty in believing the nature could produce the four men on the right.

Academia and the Bible don't disagree on everything. Both support that some time in the past, there was a very large flood on Earth. Both are in agreement that land animals came before man, but the timeline continues to be debated. As already mentioned, academia is currently advocating a 75 million year gap between dinosaur and man. The Bible advocates a much shorter gap from the time God created land animals and man; dinosaurs would be lumped into the category of land animals. The Bible is very specific and states that God created both land animals and man on the 6th day.

And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

-Genesis 1: 24 -27

Just a quick sidebar here. The 3rd paragraph set into place a foundation, which our country's forefathers built upon it and came up with the the principal that "All men are created equal." If you remove the above foundation, which dictators like to do, then the principal collapses. Then the principal of might makes right usually floods in to fill the vacuum. In the late 20th and early 21st century, there has been a big effort to remove all references of God from our schools, court systems, airways, and even lawns of town governments. If the 3rd paragraph above is not true, then what is the basis for the principal that all men are created equal? Evolution gives you equal rights?

I think in general most people desire to believe what teachers teach us is true; I also that most people who believe in God desire to believe the Bible is true too. But the timeline that is being purported from academia and the Bible cannot both be true unless you reinterpret at least one of them. So what I think happens is that many people take the path of least resistance is to reinterpret the Biblical text and turn the "day" in Genesis into several millions of years. However, from my reading and comprehension of the Bible, interpreting the 6 days of creation in Genesis to millions of years is problematic for several reasons:

What about all the evidence that the Earth is "exceedingly old"? The Bible doesn't say that rocks and soil cannot be millions of years old. Read the first five verses of the Bible:

After God created the heavens and the earth, we are NOT told how much time had passed from that time He created a ton of stuff in six (6) days. . So from my perspective the Earth can be exceedingly old (millions or billions of years), but not man.
