There's more data capacity in my computer than there is in my brain.

Some have estimated that the smartest most capable among us still only use 10% at best of the capacity of their brain.
And when you find GOD I hope he can show you he is not that guy that threatens you with hell and calls you satan just because you put a genealogical timeline together based on what is written in the Bible. I don’t believe for a second that a god so powerful to create the earth and all of us can’t handle a question about the age of the earth. I rather think he wants us to ask and think instead of blindly follow.

The lesson I get from it, is God is one sadistic fuck and there is no reward in faith. This is a logical conclusion, I'm not being irrational, I'm not misunderstanding it or misinterpreting it - I'm not trying to fit a narrative around my conclusion, I have my conclusion because I have my conclusion based on what God supposedly did to Job.
How is your conclusion be based on logic? Are you saying you believe God repayed Job’s faith with evil?

It's a myth. We use all of it, we just don't use all of it all the time. Out body doesn't waste energy maintaining cells it doesn't use. We use every cell in our body, including fat.
For example, people before the flood had longer lives, it would stand to reason

I'm saying that I think of Christianity as a mythology.
I want to drop this.
That’s fine. But I think I know what your problem is, someone once gave you the advice to reject any idea that causes “cognitive dissonance.” What if science and God are compatible?
Richwicks,
I can relate to a lot of what you say about religion and Bible.
“There was no flood. This is a myth.” I never really looked into this. Do you mind elaborating on “there was no flood”. Curious what you found.
Thanks
richwicks says
your conception of god, is incompatible with science.
What is my conception of God?
richwicks says
A literal world-wide flood

"He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."

What is my conception of God?
I love my life and I try to enjoy every minute of it
Let me me know what you come up with.
When it comes to morality, atheist are much more nice compare to religious people.
And do you think dinosaurs are also only 6000 years old and were on Noah’s ark?
Even the Bible isn't meant to be taken as Literary work.
Dating methods are imprecise. Science is based on observations. The only reliable data would be from an eye witness

Don’t put words in my mouth. Of course there are several dating methods. They are all imprecise and based on multiple assumptions.
Great paper this guy wrote there. Thanks for sharing. Did you just randomly find this by searching the web?
we're very certain the world is at least a billion years old

No, you are very certain. And many people including the only person the matters, Jesus Christ are certain that in the end times many will scoff at the Biblical truth. Your denial of universally known truths of the creation is Bible prophecy fulfilled.
I found blind faith incredibly dangerous
Secular Scholars generally agree that the earliest forms of writing were 5,500 years ago. Which is not far off from the time of the world wide flood.
So with all of written/observed history, being 0.0000000136363636364% of what they claim to be earth history. It’s blind faith to believe those charlatans who don’t even practice science. They might as well say aliens created the earth because they have about the same amount of evidence of that as they do of an earth that predates human observation.
Something that hardens my viewpoint of Christianity is BECAUSE people insist there was a literal Adam and Eve, and there WAS a Job, and there WAS a King David, and there WAS a Biblical Flood. No. Way. These are just stories.
You want them to be stories, because you don’t want to believe ANY of the Bible. But if any of the Bible is untrue, then God is a liar. Fortunately He cannot lie.
God doesn't lie, but man often does.
richwicks says

Yep like when they claim the earth/universe is billions of years old.
They lie, a lot.
So that is the propaganda you still believe.
“ Göbekli Tepe messes up a lot of what we think we know.”
This!
That site broke history.

The Milky Way is no run-of-the-mill galaxy, according to a new study.
A team of astronomers recently discovered that our spiral-shaped home galaxy is actually too big for its surroundings, Science Alert reported.
The Milky Way is located in a “neighborhood” called the Local Sheet, which is a flat arrangement of galaxies that share similar velocities and are surrounded by empty space called voids.
The team explained that the Local Sheet serves as an example of a cosmological wall and separates the Local Void from the Southern Void. The relationship between the galaxies in the Local Sheet has a strong influence on their behavior, such as their similar velocities relative to the expansion of the Universe.
But the Milky Way appears to be an exception.
In their paper, researchers conducted an analysis using simulations from a project called IllustrisTNG, which models the physical Universe.
They found that, being a billion light years across and containing millions of galaxies, very few galaxies located within a cosmological wall structure are as big as the Milky Way.
The study underscores the importance of considering the local environment when studying our home galaxy, rather than assuming that it is in an average spot in the universe.
The environmental context could also help explain some previously unexplained phenomena, such as the odd arrangement of satellite galaxies around Andromeda and the peculiar lack of them around the Milky Way.
