Doesn't the distance of stars disprove the young earth theory?

There in lies the million dollar question. What is and what is not worth taking from the Bible?If you start to realize parts of the Bible seem completely ridiculuos and can't be true, then what really is true? That is setting yourself up for disaster. You can not defend something that you only believe parts of and reject other parts. It is either real or it is not. If it has facts mixed in with falsehoods, where does that leave this "holy book" at? When you start to finally get this is when you just might start letting it go. Like I did. You need to be honest with yourself and understand the only reason in hell you even defend this so much is because you were taught to.Let someone try to convince you of scientology. You would think they were crazy. Which is why the older religions are easier to swallow for most people. The mass delusion has continued for so long that a lot of people take it as truth. It appears to me to be one heck of a slippery slope.I would love to think there is a happy ending after death. I am just not sure if there is at all.

Nice response. Very good read. The above statement is so very true.I still say it goes back to most people being brainwashed the bible at a very, very young age. It tends to burn itself into you. If any group of people were to teach anything else with ancient writings (IE-the Bible, Qur'an, etc.), you would probably get the same result.I don't know if something is beyond death. It's a cool thought. Maybe it just ends with that-a thought.
