have you read your chess books yet RJ, did you understand them?

I am half way through the first one and I looked at the first Chapter of
another one. Yes, I understand everything so far. I would be better
off in learning if I would not post like I had planned, but when I am
waiting for a move I look at the posts and can't help my urge to post
something. Maybe God has other plans for me.

So RJH, you think the world was created between a Sunday and the next Saturday, and all that's within it, by God?? 😕

My BS-o-meter nearly blew a fuse reading that dung.

Do i understand what you said? Absolutely not, i think you'd struggle to find a sentient human being who would understand that nonsense. What does evolution have to do with dating the earth? Really?!

I want to knowhow these laws of physics prove the age of the earth is in the thousands of years

- Inverse Square Law, laws dealing with magnetism, movement, force and pressure to name a few.

Is was you who mentioned them after all.

If i post one of your games in the Chess forum maybe you could come over and talk us through it. Share some of your knowledge with us mere mortals. Whad'ya think Ron?

I am like Bobby Fischer at this time. I am not willing to reveal any of
my secrects, as Larry Evans said of Fischer. Evans said it was like
pulling teeth to get anything out of him for the book.

I understand why you don't wish to reveal your 'secret'. 😉

Well the earth was created in 7 days, and he's lost only 10 of his 147 rated games.

I guess there may be a God, after all. 😲

If I ever become world champion and live long enough I will write
a book like Kasparov and explain it to everyone.

It would be a pretty short book. Maybe one or two sentences.

Most scientist do not consider the creationist point of view in estimating
the ages. That is where they go wrong. The scientific method requires
the correct point of view to start with to arrive at a correct conclusion.
They see Adam being formed from the sperm and egg and therefore by
todays standards there is no way he could have been created in a day.
They view everything like the evolutionist do. That is the wrong point
of view in the scientific method and must result in the wrong conclusion.
Do you get my point now?

In the last, say, 60 years, don't you think the encreasing number of catastraphy theories have moved closer to an understanding of earth undergoing some kind of cataclysmic event before man appears on the earth?

I have heard of killer comets which caused instinctions.
I have heard of killer asteriods that devesatated the planet causing exstinctions.

I have heard of poisoness gas bubbling up from the bottom of the ocean, catching fire and killing everything practically.

As a kid a lot of the artists depictions of a prehistorical world showed an active volcano in the backround.

Do you think many theories of cataclysmic destruction devastating a previous world inches closer to what Genesis 1:1,2 says ?

I don't think we need to speculate on any outside calamities occurring
to the earth before man was created to live on it. I do not see any
evidence of any such thing happening in Genesis 1:1-2. It simply
indicates a work in progress in my opinion. I don't think there is any
justification for us to believe in any speculations that men might
dream up to explain how they imagine the earth appeared in the past.
In my opinion, all these things you have heard is science fiction and
we should treat it as such.
