No problem and thanks for listening to those posters.
Here is what I think what you meant in the OP -
Premise #1: The Biblical Flood occurred (you believe that)
Premise #2: The Bible is true
(your interpretation of it - Creationism especially)
Premise #3: The Earth is only 6,000 to 100,000 years old.
Evidence #1: Mankind had in possession of high technlogy before the flood right after the Earth was created.
"Evidence" #2: Flood occurred (Premise #1) washing away any evidence of technology right after Mankind just started.
Therefore the Evolution Theory is wrong.
Is this the gist of what you are trying to explain in the OP?

You've got everything right except the part after, " No problem".
I'm kidding of course. But I don't really prescribe to any earth age.
Other than that, hey, good call.
I think the evidence for evolution is so strong, that placing the validation of your religion against it isn't in your best interests if you wish to stay religious.

Ya, because it's so easy to see it happening around us every day.
Or was that God?

And yet another way of saying it would be:
in your own perspective.
Most religions have some kind of creation myth, Randy. If evolution is proved false, does that mean all those religions are true?

It may serve you well to read the quote you selected diplay at the bottom of each of your post.
With that quote in mind, please read what you have written above...........
See the problem?
Even the theory of "relativity" is still a theory.
The "theory of evolution" does not explain diversity on this planet any better that creation and adaptation.
We were given the ability to adapt and we do just that.

Never mind the similarities that point to one actually being the truth. Darwins idea makes living far more comfy for all of us. See why I don't listen to or like, what you people have to say? No.1 reason, it's self serving. 2. It doesn't make a lick of sense in the grand scheme. So you deflect by trying to show how creation is flawed. I don't buy it. It's non sense that makes non sense out of every sensible thing our Father in Heaven has done for us, in an all to sensible way. Exampled perfectly right here on ATS and in this very thread.
