Ever thought that perhaps the rock is a billion(or million) years old, then later in history(tens of thousand years ago) humanoids came up with the idea that they would make a hammer out of the billion years old rock? It is highly unlikely that they would take fresh floating lava and make a hammer out of it.

Although, I'm not sure where she gets 4000 years as it's more likely a little older than 6000. |
Could you back that up in anyway? Iceland(which is a very new land) is older than 6000 years. Infact the oldest rocks on Iceland are 16 mill years old. If not, please back that statement up.

Again; (and I can't be clear enough) There is compelling evidence out there that will change the entire way of how you view things. It requires an open mind and a lot of research. |
Could you show just one of those "compelling evidence"? Just one. And there is one other thing wrong with that sentance. One of the main rules in science is IIRC called in english, reduction. It has been proven, again and again, that most of the time the easiest "answer" is the most correct answer. You can find some facts that back up anything if you look hard enough, but that doesn't make it correct. I could "prove" to you that our solar system is just an atom in another "world", but we all "know" that isn't true.

Personally, I'm really glad the earth isn't as old as most suggest because at the current rate of earth's separation from the sun, we would not be here to enjoy a warm day. This is the time of year to be thankful for sure! |
Some info on that comment please from a respectable source. And after a comment like that I have to ask you how much you know about the physics of planetary orbitals. Just asking.
I find it very disturbing that one of the biggest religions in the world has such a conservative stance on science still today. It is IMO working against God's greatest gift to man, that is the free mind and curiosity. This is one of the reasons I have chosen another religion(or it chose me), because that religion demands that the human seeks knowledge, instead of hindering it.
Oh, and to the original poster:
You could have used that difference in opinion to debate with the girl you like, and mentally stimulate each other. Dumping her because she is religious seems pretty shallow to me. But that is of course IMHO
