Confused...

This Dr. Kent Hovind person sounded interesting in the videos and really managed to convince me that perhaps we really do have a young earth... and perhaps dinosaurs and humans really once lived together... not just millions of years ago...

However, the fact that this dude is currently serving a 10 year setence in jail because of tax evasion certainly didn't help his cause... Apostle Paul getting jailed for preaching is one thing, but getting jail for not paying taxes is quite another. Still, whatever the guy taught is kinda biblical... it's just that some of the things he claims might just be his own interpretations...

Regardless, I wish I can know the real truth... whether if earth is really old... or really just a few thousand years old...

Today's scripture reading is about Daniel. He begged God to give him wisdom and knowledge to be able to know the king's dream and to interpret it for him... Well, Lord God, can I know the real truth about the age of the earth? I know it's possible that earth is really really old... a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day for the eternal God, but it's also possible that you really literally created everything in just six 24hr days, right? Which is it? How can we really know? Can You shed some light on this subject, O God?

(Daniel 1-2,6)
