2. If God and Christians alike see homosexual behaviour as a sin then why does he make people gay? Why has it been proven that people who are homosexual have a slightly different chemical makeup or something. Like one extra of this or one less of this?
3. Why no mention of dinosaurs in the bible? How could Noah build a structure large enough to house ever single creature on the planet? When todya we couldn't build a structure so large and maintain it with all those animals for 40 days.
4. If you have to "confess your sins" and ask for forgivness how do children under the age of 4 get into heaven. If they can't ask for forginess do they all go to hell?
5. She told me some crap about some scientists actually making life out of nothing? I've tried to find that on the net but can't.
These are a few of the questions that I couldn't really answer. Any help would be much appreciated. It was extremly frustrating to sit there and see her with that smug look on her face! I don't want to prove to my gf the existence of a higher being but I would like to properly defend my beliefs.

1. Carbon dating still doesnt measre the exact age of artifacts, bones, and blah blah blah... especially earth
2. being gay is a Sin yes.. BUT! get this... you should know this if your parents, or if you are a christian. being born is a sin... why? because we are all cursed under adam to be born a sinner and die a sinner... so hetero and homosexual men are no different in god's eyes.. in God's eyes. all sins are forgiven through the blood of christ...
3. God told Noah how to build that arc... and told him exactly what size... God also told all the animals to come to Noah, and get on the arc... and dinosaurs... if you readthe bible.. and read the geneology of the people written in it.. they lived over 500 years old... even today, natrually many lizards' life span is a hundred years more than ours... and lizards do not hav a limit to how large they can grow.. in those days.. if a lizard was left to grow in such a open space of all of earth. they WILL become massive sizes of dinosaurs...
4. no... because when Jesus returns all of earth are given a chance to repent and believe he is the one and only saviour and God... if children die... or anyone dies. they will all be ressurected to answer to God, and be judged accordingly then...
5. it is impossible to make anything out of nothing.. why? because of Matter... it is something that takes up space... which can neither be destroyed nor created...
