First of all, I'm not Christian. But just because I'm not Christian doesn't mean that I have to reject the Bible. I'm not saying the Bible is a flawless science book, but it's a book that 's written in a certain style that has literary, sociological and spiritual value that most books don't have. There's lots of allegory and parables in the Bible that have been passed down from generation to generation over several millennia. You'd be a fool to dismiss the Bible as irrelevant. Furthermore, there are alot of references from the Bible that people use in everyday life that, if you're not well versed, you wouldn't know what they mean such as;
The Original Sin
The 12 Tribes of Israel
The 613 Laws of the Torah
The 23rd Psalm
The 144,000
Judas selling out Jesus for 30 pieces of silver
Paul's letters
Mary Magdelen
^^^Those are references from the Bible that could come up in an ordinary conversation and you'd seem stupid to alot of people if you don't know what those references are referring to, or the allegory behind those stories.

I've asked you the exact same question several times. You've done nothing but divert attention from the question and make ad hominem attacks. I'm going to ask you this question again and if you don't answer it I'm going to make a thread dedicated to you answering this question and I'm going to flood your inbox until you either answer the question or until you're exiled from ABW.
You claim that the Earth is 4.5 Billion years old and the Universe is 14.5 Billion years old, according to scientists.
Here's the question;
How did those scientists arrive at the figure 4.5 billion and 14.5 billion? What unit of measurement did they use?
In particular, on Earth, a year is the length of time it takes to revolve around the Sun.
It takes the planet Mercury 88 days to revolve around the Sun
It takes the planet Pluto 248 (Earth) years to revolve around the Sun. In other words, the Earth revolves around the Sun 248 times in the time it takes for Pluto revolve around the Sun once. However, on Pluto that would be considered one year.
So
@Fightbackmode2005 tell us, how do scientists calculate time if and when you go back in time far enough that there is no Earth, Mercury, nor Pluto to measure space and time?
Did they use a stopwatch?
Did they use a calendar?
Did they use a sundial? (And if it was before the Sun was born, how did the Sundial work?)
Perhaps they had a rooster that woke them up every morning?
But seriously, I've asked you this question over and over and over and over again and you just keep diverting attention away from the question and making ad hominem attacks.
How can you calculate how old the Earth, or the Universe is when, according to the same scientists, the Universe is moving?
If the Solar System was stagnant I'd believe somebody's data/research but since the distance between the celestial bodies isn't constant then I'm inclined to take whatever a scientist says with a grain of salt.
As far as the dinosaurs go, I was just wondering if anybody is as skeptical as me. Personally I'm not convinced that there were 50 foot lizards roaming the Earth and an Astroid came from space and made all of those big lizards go extinct. It actually sounds like a plot to a bad movie.
But yeah,
@Fightbackmode2005 how did the scientists arrive at 4.5 billion years and 14.5 billion years? Or better yet, how did they calculate 4.5 and 14.5 billion? I mean, when you go back to 4.6 billion years you don't have anything to measure a year.
