God says what He means and He means what He says. If there had been a gap of time, God would have told us in the Bible. The problem here is that people want to believe man rather than God. Man who wasn't there and didn't make anything as opposed to God who was there and did make it.

Brainwashed-4-Christ.
Except you've never actually met "God", so you're relying on the word of man to inform you that he exists, and that his word should be trusted above the word of man.
This leads to a contradiction that can easily be resolved if you consider the possibility that the people who wrote your holy book were wrong.
I'm sure that you're willing to accept that all other religious books are wrong for this very reason. Jews, Hindus and Muslims also claim that their gods cannot be questioned by man. However, you can easily reason your way out of this by realising that the founders of these religions were just plain wrong.
Why can't you go the extra step and apply the same critical eye to your man-made religion?
The Biblical account of creation can be trusted because God (not just any god, but our God) created everything. We know that God (not just any god, but our God) created everything because the Biblical account of creation says so.
That would be just great if:
I DO agree that people believe what they want to believe. That's why so many believe in religions.
Here's the problem: god didn't create written language. Humans did. god didn't write shit, because there is no proof that he's literate to begin with. Judging by some of the pathetic attempts at prose in the bible, the writers were more under the influence of jimson weed than holy inspiration.
Or maybe, they used jimson weed as their holy inspiration. w00t w00t!!!1!
Here's a test for you, Katy-Anne: if "the bible says" that faeces are actually pretty tasty, would you....?
I'd rather trust in honest people than the deluded and/or lying people who claim to be speaking for a guy I've never met nor have the slightest reason to believe exists and plenty of reason to believe doesn't exist.
As for the gap years of Jesus's life, he was a pirate .
When Katyanne's husband comes home stinking of whiskey, with another woman's panties in his pocket, I wonder if she'll buy the old "but how do you know - you weren't there" argument from him.
The problem here is that people want to believe man rather than God.
I'd rather believe God, but he's been pretty mum on the subject. So my only choice is believe modern science or the bunch of sheep herders who wrote the Bible and bamboozled silly fundamentalists into thinking it was by God.
Goosey:
I would think even the fundies would think Conservapedia is garbage. Andy Schlafly runs the place like a petty tyrant, with the sysadmins running wild with no checks on their behavior. Not only is it a magnet for bad information, it's an incredibly sorry excuse for a wiki.
Um, if God is talking to you, you should probably start eating that candy again. You know, the ones the nice men in the white coats gave you?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
