LOL, I think he actually claims in one of his 'lectures', it is a closed universe.

Current thinking is that it will continue to expand and expand, there will be no big crunch.

The "age" of something "dated with Radioactive Atoms" is off by such a minimal number, I disagree with your statement.

Hehe, this goes down to Noah:
"Only taking one two af the same KIND of animal"

From a breeders perspective that is actually not ... possible. Sorry, Inbreeding will stop this.
Of course, if we belive the bible absolutely we have to deal with inbreeding and the fact of brothers and sister marrying to make it clear. Somehow,,,naaa.

As for the "accuracy of measuerments, no one here can accurately state his or her height, for it also differers between morning and evening....
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Some day we will all know, or not know, the "Truth" of things.  This will depend on what transpires post mortem.

At any rate, I suspect that no one on this planet (past or present) has the full scoop.

I never understood those that need to see the Bible taken 100 percent literally. I think these people just show how insecure they are in their faith. They just look silly trying to prove the impossible, and getting into "fights" with science over things like the Dinasours, and how old the world is ect...

How correct you are.  There is no proving it.  One has faith in whatever one believes.  I have my own personal proofs.  They lend me to believe there is something out there.  I shan't burden anyone with these.
