The very fact life is billions of years old and all these religous texts don't even mention about it even once or the fact that dinousaurs existed for hundreds of millions of years really makes a lot of organized religions look like fools. Anyone who reads about evolution will realize that we are not special, our species is not special and god's son being a human is just a narcisstic idea ignorant people came up with 2000 years ago.

That is only true if you accept the idea of Biblical (or, more generally, textual) literalism, which is largely a feature of a subset of Evangelical Protestant sects in America starting in the mid-to-late 19th century. For thousands of years prior to that, pretty much everyone was perfectly content understanding that these were stories to inform our understanding, some of them pure myth, some allegory, some depicting historical events (often with embellishments of one sort or another).
- jvanderbot 4y agoSure, but technically speaking, a god could have created the universe, as is, while you were reading this sentence. It would appear, and you would know, that the universe is billions of years old, yet it would not be. There's no contradiction once you assume an all powerful creator. That's why logic won't win these discussions.
