Your relying on experts, it's virtually all the same because you are not qualified to evaluate their claims, neither is most of the general public. Additionally who funds them? Who pays them to do research and that might want them to come to certain outcomes or conclusions? Most people cannot evaluate grand claims made by scientist, and because of economic pressure from whoever funds the scientist we have reason to believe in many cases there will be biases towards certain outcomes/results/explanations.
You didn't address what I said.
I'm not relying on experts, I'm reading the Bible itself in its own words. I'm not relying on experts, I'm using tools like telescopes, microscopes, and rulers to observe and measure the world around me. I'm not relying on experts, I have a calculator and can do math myself.
Who funds the Catholic Church? Why are Catholics obligated to donate to the Church? Why does the Catholic Church spend that money on shit like gold chairs when they could just as easily worship God in a wooden chair? Why is the Catholic Church so rich? Does that not conflict with Matthew 19:24? "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." Why do you think the Catholic Church is superior in sexual morality when so many pedophile priests have been caught? If they're such a moral institution, why did they try to cover it up?
And again, with regards to 2+2=4 and calculating the age of the Earth/universe, do both of those concepts use math? Yes or no.
