OK, so try these then, Quote, " If you rebel, I will scatter you among the nations but if you return to me, keeping my commands and doing them, even if your exiled people are in the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I have chosen to establish my Name.'

Yes and none of those implies any more than that their is a visual horizon with no actual understanding of it or why it exists that it it moves with you...

Well, if the earth was flat how do you get night and day?
Ok, so the world may be round, horizon be praised!
But how can there be oil, diamonds and other fossil resources that take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to become what they are?
How can there be fossils of dinosaurs if the world is only 6000 years old? Are they all fake? Questions over questions.

Derc,
I believe oil comes by pressure inside the earth whilst diamonds can be made in days as has been demonstrated and fossils can also be quickly formed by pressure too. The same pressure can make coal in a matter of days. The Bible tells of many precious stones and metals being found just not that long after creation. So no, they are not fake at all just that the time it takes to form them didn't need billions of years.
So why does God fake all those fossils? Highly dishonest creator. Also why so much Polytheism in the Bible when he was supposedly the only God from the get go?

Cyclops,
The fossils aren't fakes, it is just man's understanding of them that is wrong. It is written that inside every person God has implanted knowledge of Himself and so man with that knowledge has made God into his own image rather than the other way around. That hardly makes God dishonest at all.
That's poetical but does not answer fact of radioactive dating. Nor that fact that if the OT is fact every mammal including humans for example should an obvious genetic bottle neck that would be observable. Like Cheetahs. Really worse since on your time the population collapse is more recent and more profound.The fossils aren't fakes, it is just man's understanding of them that is wrong.

Considering we can genetically link human remains to existing populations over 10s of thousands of years, and beyond that to common ancestors with other species... I'm not sure there is actually a creationist rebuttal for the science in this situation... so I'm not surprised the answers become poetic at this point.

Well yes I realize there is no win in this. The end of ferment or something is going to implied to have altered conditions such that the demonstrable observable facts are just what god wants. Thus while I hope basics got his shots he can casually reject the larger science that produced the mRNA one he likely got.

Well since God made creation as mature and up and running it is obvious that by its maturity most if not everything would appear to be older than it is. So no matter what dating system is applied it will be out of sync with reality. Concerning mRNA may I suggest having a wee look at James Tours work on YouTube as it is very interesting.
Err you sorta avoided my question. Tours is clearly a fine scientist in his area of expertise but like many such (most often men I might add) he is wondering of into areas were he is no expert. The is problem moreover the man himself admits he is simply fish to try create apparent problems or paradoxes and is not operating with an open mind.
The point dodged is that for your flood story to work and dating by genealogy than again every mammal and humans would have profoundly homogeneous genomes vs what is observable in fact. The flood is very outside of gods week of work.

I don't think so I worked with a lot of mandarins of science over the years and invariably its the old guys who suddenly decide expertise in their field allows pontificate on any field. Rather the same vibe you can get MDs with lifetime of deference even if thay say could not do 200/300 level stats to save their souls.

conon394,
You still haven't grasped the story. God, for His good pleasure created this world so that He would be the Centre Piece in it. The core is that all creation would fall into enmity with Him and throughout time He would restore certain people so that this enmity would no longer exist. The ending of the story is that our space, time and matter will be extinguished and those saved out of it will join God in His existence to a life far better than what we have just now. Why even the ones who were not chosen will live on into perpetuity now knowing how wrong they were. Evolution is but a tool God uses to make His story more exciting for His opposition to believe which they do without any proof that it actually is real. What I have written is confirmed by the very coming of our God and Creator Jesus Christ into this world, paying the price of sin for certain people, rising from the grave and now waiting to come back to take out this creation, replacing it with a far better one. All the arguments in the world cannot change this.
@antaeus
Well that is sort of the of any discussion with somebody who takes the OT as actually god inspired fact. Really always has to end that way. Thus... from basics ^
@basics "....All the arguments in the world cannot change this."
Of course that same could stated by any true believer in other faith as well when confronted with facts
