Peace
There is no other explanation. They believe the bible word for word and believe fossils and such are put there as a way to "test their faith."
Like I said, borderline retardation.

I'm starting to think this is a line Christians use when the heat is felt...
Growing up that's all every Christian ever talked about when dinosaurs were in the same sentence.
No dinosaurs, fossils are placed by Satan as a way of testing your faith.
25 years and you've never heard it? I'm 22 and I heard it FOR YEARS.

The banana analogy only proves evolution, because everyone knows that bananas were made to fit a monkey's hand.

Young earth creationists should stay away from bananas because bananas underwent
selective breeding by humans to arrive at where it is today--a perfect fit for the hand. This
fact evinces more support for evolution than creation.
The bible never states the earth is 6000 years old. The idea for this comes from a researcher
who studied the chronological ancestry of humans that is provided in the bible. He added up
the lifetimes and came to the (irrelevant) conclusion that the earth is 6000 years old---rather than
the (relevant) conclusion that humans have been around (on earth) for 6000 years
The earth (and all of Sol's planets--hello Neptune, sorry 'bout the demotion) was formed by
coalescing clouds of dust over a long period of time. It was an arbitrary process whereby
one forming planet could be smashed by another forming planet and have all the
pieces scattered out into space only to have gravity bring them together again.
The current theory of our moon is that it was created by (the last) cosmic smashing of
our earth and another forming planet which occurred with just enough force to separate
a large portion from the whole without spinning it out into space and this small piece became
a satellite of the larger planet.
So God said let there be light and the Big Bang happened, right? Nope it is more likely that
God said let there be matter and energy...and light occurred as a consequence some time
later.
Great, now I've lost my train of thought....where was I?
Oh yeah.....bananas

I am 39, have lived in the bible belt all my life and not heard it put that way. I have heard that there are things we are not meant to understand yet, or that dinosaurs were destroyed in the flood.
On another note, I stated earlier that many people get the 6 thousand years by adding up the genealogies in the bible, not from the six days of creation.
I am not sure how old the earth is but I am pretty sure it is much older than 6k years.
The bible gives a clear outline of events and even coincides with biology.
