You just automatically assume those verses to be absolute truth irregardless of the fact that separate chapters were written hundreds of years apart and vast gaps of time appear that have clear attempts to close all the gaps but that is impossible when one dude writes a verse about who begat whom and two hundred years later another begat begins.
That is the most ridiculous way to judge the age of the Earth ever conceived.
Even if the timeline is 100% accurate, all that does is point to the era when the original fairy tales of plagiarized Egyptian 6 day creation tale was copped by Mo when he lived in Egypt. He was not a peasant, he was educated so he CERTAINLY would have heard that particular creation myth thousands of years old even in Mo's time.

Then why believe it? 🙄
Truth can't be falsified.
that doesn't what falsifiable means
if i claim that light travels at c in void, all you have to do is measure its speed and prove me wrong. that's what falsifiable means, that you can have a test that will falsify a prediction.

There it is. Science wins the debate. In just over 150 years science has developed an irrefutable argument of such sophistication that only the truly enlightened can comprehend it. An argument so profound not even God can refute it. All who believe in God are destined to fade away with their God.
Jesus is dead.
You're on your own.

There are a number of problems yecs have with evolution. while that is sad, when some of the problems stated stem from a poor understanding of science, it becomes sadded. and funnier.
So i wish to institute a program: educate your yec.
lesson 1: Evolutionism IS falsifiable.
Directly from wiki:
evolution is considered falsifiable because it can ...[text shortened]... esult of an experiment or investigation could be the unpredictable action of an omnipotent deity
Darwin's observation of the different variety of beaks on finches was described as "natural selection" and not proof of evolution or the orgin of the species. That is not something that is disputed by YEC anymore than selective breeding of dogs and other animals. We just dispute that as an example of an evolutionary change.
The creation theory predicts that animals will only reproduce after their own kind and that is always what we see. That means the the creation theory has been confirmed by all the experiments throughout history.

Lesson 2 (if I may): It's a gradual process.
It's not: monkey -> monkey -> monkey -> human. The progeny is always the same species as the progenitor(s). Dawkins gave an excellent analogy using age. It's not that you go to bed in the evening and in the morning you're old. It's a smooth, hardly noticable process of change from hour to hour, and then years l ...[text shortened]... e between the original population and the latest is so big, that you in fact have a new species.

But you are generally correct. Understanding science does require an education - otherwise we wouldn't waste so many years of our children's lives sending them to school to study science. But understanding the basics doesn't take a lot - the Yale course I refereed you to will probably give you most of the ground work that you need.

we totally have in fact proven many times how one species evolved from another. there are countless intermediary fossils spanning millions of years that prove how one species gradually turned into another.
how about you check lesson 2: evolution on a macro scale is gradual and you will never see results in just one or two generations.
however in just one or two generations you can see countless micro evolution examples. which even your dumb "kind" can't ignore. that's why you don't ask for TB medicine from 100 years ago.

only you few flavors of american protestants believe in such absolute nonsense.
